Corel WordPerfect Office X3 Standard Edition

Pros: Flexibility, user control, ease of use

Cons: Many small annoyances, mail client

Summary: I was a WordPerfect user at version 5.1 and made the transition to MS Office about version 97. It always p***** me off that I had to do things Office's way, or else fight it the entire time. Went back to WP at version 12. Glad to be back. I know the look I want and I can create it in WP. I can't do that in Word. I have to say, though, Excel is superior to Quatro Pro in ease of use and in producing the charts, etc. I want. And the mail client is just too primitive.
