Anyone still using WordPerfect?

I see they want $300 for their new version. Love that fancy XP screenshot. It really shows me what WordPerfect can do. Are they serious? C'mon!

Tuxman:
Oh well, MS Office is not cheap either, and it has a, uhm ..., not too well designed GUI.

zridling:
Yea, I'm not a fan of anything that sits there eating up valuable screenspace. Anymore, I only want to see a toolbar or menu bar when I hit the ALT key! Jeez, I'm a lazy bass.

Try using WriteMonkey ( http://writemonkey.com ) then.  :-*

You can use it in blank screen or windowed mode. All commands are accessible via hotkey or from a popup menu. (Don't forget to turn on the typewriter sounds. It helps. Trust me.)

If that's too spartan, try Aure's RTF Editor ( http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Text-editors/Aure-RTF-Editor.shtml ).

If you need fancier formatting and styling you can always just compose and then import into Word afterwards. Works for me. 8)

Tuxman:
WriteMonkey is not a word processor.
