I've always used Word....at work and at home.



When I worked for a security consultant in FL, he wouldn't use anything but WP 8 for Windows, because of the ease of the tables, etc.  I still used Word, and could just convert any of his letters, etc.  The last job I had was completely Windows based, so Word was the norm.



I started a new job last Monday and had forgotten in the interview (it was 2 months from the interview to the offer) that for specs, they use WORDPERFECT 5.1!!!  AAAAAAArgh!  I used that 20 years ago for about 6 months.  I'd be better off with a chisel and a stone tablet!  



There are a couple of admins in the company who generate the specs in 5.1 and then edit in 8....which is probably what I'll be doing.  Heck, I think I'd be faster typing the whole thing on an IBM typewriter!  



tlc (trying to convince my new boss I DO need the internet and will NOT be looking at porn sites like a couple of guys in the office were!!)  (Which is the reason I don't have the internet now!!)
