Subj: WORDPERFECT
I remember having a conversation with you about WordPerfect. I didn't want to get it and you told me about using PCWrite. I tried that and it worked fine. However, once I got into using WordPerfect 5.1 (with pull down menus, etc.), I found it did a much BETTER job of importing the Model 100 text files than PCWrite. No need to reformat, etc. It even recognized the Model 100's tabs, so I didn't have to do new tabs at the beginning of paragraphs. I have found WordPerfect to be quite easy to use. It just has so many features that many people don't use, which, I believe, is why people get intimidated. A person could try LetterPerfect, which is a scaled down version. I find many of its features extremely valuable. When I got a Mac, I got the Mac version of WordPerfect, which is System 7 savvy. One can view QuickTime movies and cut and paste frames out of them into the documents. I use WordPerfect to type preuploaded messages and save them in ASCII text format. Works great.
