We all need to share documents with others, and Word seems to be what most people have on their PC's.  I cut my computer teeth on WordPerfect.  It used to be fun to make macro's - I had tons of them.  Then WP decided to get more fancy schmancy and made macros majorly complicated - it is so tough to fix any little macro mistakes, you may as well start over.  They also overcomplicated the graphics (box drawing) part of the program.  I also loved Reveal Codes, but the rest of WP grew much less user friendly than I though necessary.  I guess I'll have to vote for Word.
