Thanks.....perhaps I will go with X3 the and maybe upgrade. I asked on two
different WP news groups which was better (that or 12) and NO ONE had the
decency to reply. Think I will post a decidedly sarcastic note, grin.

My version 8 came with WinME and I think it was an OEM one or a curtailed
one. And I seem to remember a very nice lad in the US at Corel who sent me
a full version, but damned if I know where that is.

Nice break in researching........I was trying to read pages in spanish and
failing miserably, lol. It seems that the Archives are in Sevilla and are
now available. I remember when they wouldn't let the LDS into the country
(heretics!!) to microfilm their records. Oops, for those not into
genealogy, LDS folks are the Mormons.

Cheers........off to find a peanut butter sandwich cuz Shane made me hungry.

I've got WordPerfect X4 installed here. I installed and ran X3 on this
box in April 06 and updated to X4 in November 08. Both installed and
ran/run without problem. Like yourself I don't use MS Word although I do
have it installed as I make a fair bit of use of Excel and very
occasionally Publisher. To be honest I make virtually no use of any of
the changes made in recent versions, the same being true of Office, so if
you're the same install whichever version you think you will be most
comfortable with.

Hey, btw........I have 3 Wordperfect cd's here and am wondering which
one to put on. As you and I seem to be the only two people on Usenet
that prefer it, I thought I would ask.

1. Really old Version 8 which I think was *topped up* by Corel at
some point.
2. An OEM version of Office 12 which I got for free, just pay the
shipping (illegal?)
3. Ditto for X3 and ditto again. MDG was advertising them for
*sale*, so bought them years ago.

I don't use it much, but prefer it over MS Word which I do have on
here (MS Office 2003)
