Love WordPerfect, Hate Word, But ...

By Neil J. Squillante | Thursday, November 17, 2005

Regarding the recent reviews of WordPerfect 12 in Fat Friday, TechnoLawyer member Peter Pike writes: "Yes, but the only problem is that all of our clients use Word, send us e-mail documents in Word and expect us to return them documents in Word. I hate it. The program is awful, but, everyone outside of the legal world uses it. Converting back and forth between the two formats works the first couple of times. After that, so much formatting gets lost or mixed up that I have found it is just not worth it." In related news, TechnoLawyer member John Gordon responds to Barron Henley's recent rant in defense of Microsoft Word as follows: "I could not agree more with every thing Mr. Henley says. I want to thank him for taking the time to get it off my chest." Wow, what a great line — gotta remember that one!
