Hello Lloyd:
I gather that you use WordPerfect for almost all your word processing.
WordPerfect has always been my word processor of choice but using it with
JAWS means that one has to download the various service packs before it can
work properly.
Is there a site where I can purchase both the latest version of WordPerfect
plus the service packs for it to work with JAWS? MicroSoft bundles several
software packages in one suite but if I can use WordPerfect as the word
processor and excel as my accounting package and Paradox as my database
program that would be a lot better than simply accepting the whole MS
package.
