This looks like a case of "you hate what you're not used to." It's the same with operating systems: nearly everyone I know who switches from Windows to Mac or Mac to Windows absolutely hates it for months, but then you get used to it. I started on Mac and hated Windows when I had to use it for work, but now I like (and hate) Windows and Mac OSX equally. I dislike WordPerfect because, while I did use it for 2 or 3 years, I've now been using Word almost exclusively for nearly 10 years and I can't find my way around WordPerfect, plus it crashes several times a day (Word has crashed on me maybe twice in the past five years). But if I were using WordPerfect all the time I'd probably hate Word too...because nothing would be where I expect it to be and nothing would make sense.susnfx wrote:I don't know about big issues, but even little things like where to find an envelope format. In WP it's under "format" - in Word, it's under "tools." An envelope is not a tool, it's a format. Also, there may be a way in Word to view your document with embedded codes, but I haven't been able to find it. In WP it's just Cntrl-F3. Word Perfect is a piece of cake to me. I hate Word.
By the way, in Word if you press Shift-F1 it reveals the formatting codes.
