Feature I Miss from WordPerfect

Of course the first feature that any serious WordPerfect user misses when working with Word is reveal codes. That goes without saying. And anyone who says you don't need reveal codes with Word has never done any serious formating.

Another innovative feature of WordPerfect is the Make It Fit feature introduced in WordPerfect 6 (if I remember correctly). With that feature it will automatically format your document to fit in the desired number of pages. You set the options and ranges for how it can make it fit. This is a great option for cleaning up that elusive quarter page at the end of your paper, or to condense a document down to a single page to be used as a handout. If you are in school then it is a great way to meet the page requirements of a paper too, although if your font size and spacing gets too big your teacher might catch on.

WordPerfect is now on version 12. Unfortunately I am forced to use Word at work. Maybe I will pick up the home suite for $89. . .
