OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

God I hate this crappy program with all my heart!

I just lost five hours of work, even thought I had saved many times, because this F***** program crapped out!

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

Don't be hatin.

Seriously Geo, I tell ya, I was so mad about this I could have ripped that program from my PC a bit at a time with my bare hands....

All tha work seeminly lost.

But guess what, the program has a back up that for some miricle worked. I only Last the work that I had done over the Last fifteen minutes or so.

Still, OFFICE 2000 is a better program IMHO.

ANY programm is better than WP http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . I wonder that this programm is still in use, I had my Last encounter with it about 10 years ago.
And there is no need to feed the big devil M$ just out of the desparation. Try Open Office instead.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

And that's why I've stuck with MS Works 4.0 for the past what? 8 years? Still works great after all this time. A little slow maybe, but I can't complain too hard.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

Open Office still has a while to go before it can compete with MS Office. Ok if you don't want to pay any money. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Agreed, it is up to discussion how much better MS Office is than Open Office. But as you mentioned, it's for free... and, another big plus, you're not feeding M$ when using it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Plus, it definitely IS better than Word Perfect http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

Right, it beats the heck out of Word Perfect!

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

One nice feature in Word Perfect was the ability to see the formatting code and make changes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Word likes to format the document itself and doesn't allow many of the changes I would like to make (such as revising indents, etc.) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

Yep. There's a pretty steep learning curve to Word Perfect. It's not too bad once you get used to its ideosyncracies. After two or three years, that is. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I turn off those auto-format features in Word because I have had so much trouble with them.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT
 

I have used open office and have found it to be a very good program. However it does have a long ways to go before it can match up to MS OFFICE.

I have installed Office 2k on this POS HP machine, and ran one update. I should probibly order the updates on disk, but by the time it gets here, OFFICE 05 will be out.
