I run WordPerfect 5.0 (I haven't installed the new 5.1 yet... ugh) in a
Window and in Full-Screen mode and never see a problem.  Of course, you
cannot pre-View a page (shit-F7, v) in a Window -- I think someone posted
a solution to that, however; merely set WordPerfect up as running on CGA.
Now, I don't do extensive work in WordPerfect (hundreds of column def's,
math functions, pictures, etc.) but I do use it for almost all my word
processing and I've never had a problem.  Dare I say I still like WordPerfect
better than MS Word?  Oooof... could be a bad statement in THIS conference!
:-)  I guess I just haven't gotten the time to learn WfW yet...
