Come on, WP5.0 is really a very good program. The support is good, the
program is fast, it has some of the best printer support I have ever
seen and it is quite programable in its macro language. Some people
start flaming about it because they have some obscure proplem, but
think about how many different printers and computers this program
supports correctly, and you will realize they are doing a good job. I am
not in love with the function key layout, but it is extremely easy to
customize to your requirements. There is a reason that it is by far
the most popular word processing program out there.
