I used WordPerfect under Classic on my Ti-500 for several years  
(until my Ti500 was stolen) and found it much better than Word for  
making precise and professional looking documents/letters.

I often asked Corel if they were working on an X version, and they  
always said "if the market demands it".

I still use Word 11.1 for some documents, and am always frustrated by  
the way "it" decides to change the font size of lines if I do a  
backspace anywhere near any text, or how it takes over like an alien  
when I am trying to format paragraphs or questions in an Exam paper,  
and does what it wants, not what I want.  I have Pages, and when it  
grows up a bit, it may very well simply displace Word.  I was amazed  
at what sophisticated documents I could produce in a very short time.

I already transferred 100% to Keynote for presentations, and will  
never even look back.

As has been said before, it is only an Excel equivalent we are  
missing.  I have 11.1, but Excel 8 is still the best for managing  
worksheet content !!
