Interesting pitch from Sonar Legal.
Its function? It fixes MS Word’s awful formatting experience.
It tames Word’s black box of styles, columns, numbering, and tables.
(Gotta say this former #WordPerfect user loves this ideas.)
RE: https://mastodon.world/@anttipeltola/116169203304658997
Looking back at the history of #WordPerfect—looks like I must have started using it in 1990, maybe even 1991, not 1989 as I had thought. I began with v. 5.1 (though I had played with v. 5) and given the timing, it must have crossed […]
LibreOffice Writer is too quirky. I add in hard returns, it takes them out when I press enter after the paragraph. Same with tabs. Still no one touches #WordPerfect for usability.

Again, happy that I use #WordPerfect … and that the only copy of Word I ever licensed was 97.

I'm old enough to remember when it was #WordPerfect that used to rule the legal profession and not Microsoft Word.

Couldn't tell me NOTHING! I had so many signs in my room...
I miss those days.

A photo of a monitor running Solaris 8, there are 4 copies of WordPerfect running. Windows 3.1 (in wabi) Windows 98 (in SunPCi) Mac system 7 (Macintosh Application Environment) Native Solaris All of this was fully supported by their respective companies!
A photo of the same desktop, but each window now says "this is copy/pasted text"
Do you ever get a #retrocomputing intrusive thought?
This is #wordperfect 7 (ish, all from 1996 and 1997)

* Native 32bit windows in SunPCi (bottom right)
* Macintosh 3.5 in MAE (top left)

I have said, 'I stuck with #WordPerfect' so many times lately because of the increasing number of posts about how crap Word is. I should note that it has always been crap, but because WordPerfect cost money and Word was bundled, people chose Word. I get it. But now they charge you for Word, too […]

I am investigating more seriously if #WYSIWYG #word #processing is a reasonable constraint to take out the velocity of my #LaTeX #writing process. Reasonable candidates are obviously not recent fancy software, but old versions of Word, #Claris #MacWrite and #WordPerfect. #apple #macintosh #os2 #mac
I've been using computers all my life, #Linux and #Unix since the 90s, and word processors since #Wordperfect 5.1 for #MS-DOS but I still can't grasp the #vim and #emacs keybindings. I know it's not necessary to learn all of them if all I'm doing is #writing novels but I still feel like I'm not […]
I know it is silly, but sometimes I yearn to go back to #Corel #WordPerfect. I've used #LibreOffice since it forked from #OpenOffice, but WordPerfect still to this day can be purchased once and just used. It's the way professional software should be sold. Not to corpo-simp or anything, but still […]

#Erudite is a favourite word of mine, and @susie_dent is all that and more. #WordPerfect fascinating and funny. Find time to join Susie on this tour. You won't regret it.

Customer service, Wordperfect style. Anyone ever sketch their keyboard layout to get a custom template I wonder? #Wordperfect #customerservice #dos #vintage #pc
I did have a lot of fun flirting with a crush at this job via the DOS-based #WordPerfect suite’s interoffice email. The #CP437 character set’s proto-emoji smilies at 0x1 and 0x2 were super helpful for making clear our double-entendres.
