ReNa there is another Office Product which is really reasonable.
It is Sun Microsystems Star Office. It seems to have all the punch that
WORD has and it will handle files form both Work Perfect and from
Microsoft Office. The download was FREE although it was a zipped 87 Megs
but they also will send a CD for less that $50. I still use an old
version of WP since I bought it way back when and do not need anything
more but I do have a copy of STAR just to handle those pesky WORD files..
