 I, too, believe that WordPerfect is an excellent wp; we use it extensively,
 with an HP LaserJet for hardcopy output.

 One word of caution though: it is best-suited for use by people with computing
 backgrounds, or people who may not know much about computers but have already
 used other micro pakages extensively.  This is one reason it gets such good
 reviews: the reviewers all fall into one of these two categories.

 It is a difficult package to master for "neophyte" computer users, much more so
 than packages such as Word, Volkswriter, etc.

 So: if you are looking for a package for yourself and others with similar exper-
     rience, I would recommend WordPerfect over almost anything else.  If you
     are looking for a package for a general office environment, I would suggest
     you look at others as well, or be prepared to spend a considerable amount
     of your own time in training and "debugging" traps your people will fall
     into.
