I've been using the standard Word Perfect 12, and have no complaints, but then recently came across Microsoft Word, and have been tring it out a little, I'm not sure I like it as well, but then I'm not use to it either...

What do you use, and is there one out there that is the cat's meow, that I haven't heard of? what would you recommend.

I use Microsoft Word. I like it much better than word perfect. It's easy to use, once you get used to it.

With MS Word, I do like that it's easy to see, the size is much nicer. And I like that the word count is at the bottom of the screen. . . . But I'm use to Word perfect checking my spelling as I go (I like that feature, saves time).

I use Microsoft Word and I also use Microsoft Works but I have never use Word Perfect 12. In my opinion, Microsoft Works is easier to use than Microsoft Word.

I use Microsoft Word, but it's not the processing system that matters. It's the words coming out on the pages. Inspiration is the key to being a great writer. A program is just a tool.

Oh gosh.. I thought word perfect has been phased out big time. :P

It's good that you stumbled upon word...

By the way, you can get openoffice which is the free source equivalent of microsoft word. It is free and available at www.openoffice.org .

I use either one of these 2 when I need to type long or official stuffs. But normally, I just type on the browser or fire up notepad.

I have the Microsoft Office on my computer. So I use the Microsoft Word. I really like it I guess cause I'm used to it. I've only used the word perfect a couple of times before.

What else but MS Word.
MS Word have revolutionized every clerical jobs from office secretaries to corporate managers and executives. From students to teachers, it is very helpful, valuable and convenient to use. With an instant spell check and online helps, it truly is on top of any word processing programs.
With varied usefulness from typing jobs to making simple business communications letter. Indeed it's a program with far excellent performance!

I have used a number of "writing" programs and tool kits but I prefer Microsoft Word. I find that writing programs are more work than they're worth. If I want to organize my thoughts I do that on paper and/or index cards which actually brings me to my favorite way to write and that is back to basics "pen and paper".

I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. I usually start with pen and paper than type everything I write into MS Word. I either edit right in MS Word or print out a hard copy, edit and return to the program for corrections.

I do the same, I carry a notebook. But chapter by chapter I type my work into the computer, making adjustments as I go, then I print it out and go back over it, correcting or editing whatever I feel needs adjusting. Then go back in and change it.

I too usually write on paper/in a notebook, and then type it on the screen from there, editing as I go. Print it out and edit some more. Continue process endlessly.
