I respectfully disagree. I used it at my last job for
three years. WP 9 was so buggy that they had to post a
humongous patch to clean everything up. we had all
kinds of problems with it.
it is counter-intuitive in many ways
the reveal codes are helpful and the headers and
footers are easier than in Word, but I would not say
they were easy. It takes some time to get used to the
way things change all throughout a document - going
forward. It's hard to explain so I won't here.
I did not like WordPerfect and Corel should be ashamed
of themselves for such a buggy version of WP 9. I
actually liked the earlier versions of WP better.
