:laughing:
I have been using various versions of WordPerfect for years and now have WordPerfect X6, a suite of office products.
That in combination of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the software that came with my Brother all in one MFC J6710 DW printer handles all my office needs and still has more that I have not explored in way of graphic art capabilities and media construction.
All the WordPerfect and Adobe products came from EBay at a most reasonable price and full support.
You may have to go another direction if you want the latest greatest product to operate on Win10 and if you wish to have everything on the cloud.
The direction these products are headed is total cloud programing and storage with some corporation keeping a copy of your product for whatever use it may be to someone in the future.
All the fine print for using their cloud gives them the right to do that.
Their business is data, no matter where it came from, they are data miners.
The day that it is not possible to connect to the cloud or internet will be the day you will want an old XP that is offline to the internet and be connected to actual drives that hold your data and an older version of your program to maintain your ability to produce a product.

Pompeo: "Pompeo has advocated for rolling back post-Snowden surveillance reforms, saying "Congress should pass a law re-establishing collection of all metadata, and combining it with publicly available financial and lifestyle information into a comprehensive, searchable database. Legal and bureaucratic impediments to surveillance should be removed. That includes Presidential Policy Directive-28, which bestows privacy rights on foreigners and imposes burdensome requirements to justify data collection." Wikipedia

That was reaon why we reverted back to Office suite.
Difference between something that's free and paid for.Have you ever wondered why MS Office is still selling when you have several free office suites?
To be fair Sun Microsystems released that code in 2000 so you're talking 17 years ago a virtual lifetime in open source code development, hell if you had a newborn baby at the same time they would be graduating from high school soon. The fact is that the current iterations of "Office clones" are extremely functional and for the most part a perfectly viable alternative to MSO. That being said I have a personal subscription to Office 365 for my own use and use Office 10 at work. The answer to the question about why MSO is still selling is that people (myself included) like to stick with what they know.

It also comes bundled with the vast majority of new computers... I doubt many people seek it out and actually buy it.

I really doubt that a hacker somewhere in Russia needs a copy of my deed of descriptions,quotes and recipes that badly.

Word Perfect costs $249? Are they serious? No wonder people are still using MS Office.
