I'm using a Canon Laser with a Century font to produce some tables. I was
wondering: how did the WordPerfect guys plan me to use line drawing with
a proportional font? Actually, I can't even draw a box; the lines don't
meet in the corners. For the moment my solution is to make a table (alt-f9)
and use a text file for the table. In the text file, I use Courier and
draws the box as I would have done in WP4.2. Voila, I use tabs in my real
text and set the system up to not wrap text around tables and I've got what
I wanted.

Any better solutions (except those line-draw functions available using
alt-f9)?
