- We have used quite a few different products and only recommend WordPerfect
- to our clients. It has more features than most people will need, but that
- is good. As things change, they have a product they can grow into.
- The biggest problem with implementing WordPerfect is that most people
- don't have any formal training program and just throw it in place, and
- expect the users to mysteriously just start using it. With a little
- bit of training on how to use WordPerfect it implements very nicely into
- just about any office. There are also some very nice training video
- tapes in the $40-60 range that are also very helpful and can be used
- to give to new employees and for re-training.
-
- WordPerfect has also been about the most stable Word Processor we have
- worked with in the Xenix/UNIX environment. Their support has been very
- good and normally very timely.
