Overall Satisfaction with WordPerfect Office
IMHO, WordPerfect is still the best word processing software ever made. It makes formatting easy (important for lawyers) and "reveal codes" allows the user adjust the appearance of a document much easier than Word or Google docs. I use WordPerfect for all my correspondence and court papers and agreements. I have created numerous macros myself which makes my time much more efficient. I will retire before I stop using it.
- auto-paragraph numbering
- macros are easy to create
- templates save a lot of time
- allow formatting changes easier with "reveal codes"
- conversion from Word is problematice to put it kindly
- it doesn't offer formatting options over the words, only in the toolbar
- track changes is compared to Word is weak
- WordPerfect's word processor saves me lots of time compared to Word
- I have never used any of WordPerfect Office's "other programs" since Microsoft so dominates the field
- I once told another attorney I was working with that I use WordPerfect and she responded, "Oh, you're the one."
365 is an excellent integrated suite of programs; I just much prefer WordPerfect to Word. Unfortunately, most of the support programs for lawyers are designed to work with Word and not WordPerfect, which has prevented me from using litigation support software. I don't care for Google Office since it seems somewhat barebones to me.
