Reimaged a 11 year old computer with an older version of WordPerfect for a friend's mom. After fully updating Windows 7, the old version of WP would not install after trying for almost an entire day. Bought X9, and it installed and work flawlessly. She's a happy lady.

I've been using WordPerfect (WP) since 1982. I can open those files with the latest version of WP, and all versions of WP for Windows can open older version files (try that with Word!). I love how you can see all the formatting codes and edit or delete them if you want to. I even use my old PC/AT keyboards with function keys on the left with the latest versions of WP - let's me do a lot of formatting, editing, and moving around in a file without needing to reach for the mouse. OK - I'm a bit retro, but I love WP X9. (And, I can read/write Word files for my friends if I have to.)

This may lack the polish from the Washington based company, it may not have the wide support than the free GNU office suites. It is my favorite word processor. It needs an updated equation editor, however. The bundled equation editor is from the 90's....
