A powerful word processor that won't annoy you.
Let's face it: Microsoft Word is the most annoying computer program yet written. Mr. Bill just keeps adding annoying "feature" upon annoying "feature".

When I move to a new work station, I must spend hours undoing Mr. Bill's "features" to get a usable word processor.

You won't have that experience with WordPro. It will put you in control again. That's why I have WordPro at home. I just want to write and WordPro lets me get on with it.

Not that WordPro isn't a powerful piece of software. I haven't yet run across a formating challenge that it couldn't handle.

The dictionary bug mentioned by an earlier reviewer hasn't been a problem in the (newer) versions of WordPro with which I'm familiar. I have a great many scientific words added to my dictionary and it still works smoothly.

Thank God for Wordpro
Thank God for Wordpro. It totally blows away Word. IN this monopolized Microsoft world, it's just about impossible to not have WORD, so I have it. I use it to open attached files people send me. So I guess that makes WORD the Lingua Franca of word processors. But for writing, for creating flyers, ads, brochures, for my kids papers, posters, projects-- Wordpro is so much better, more powerful and easier to use.

Some of the features I really like are the page and text formatting, and particularly, frames.

The way Wordpo lets you build, manipulate, modify move frames makes it so easy to get just the look you want on your documents. I've used Wordpro put together great ads placed on 4th covers and inside covers of national magazines. That makes it more than just a word processor and that's why I originally got into it, in its earlier incarnation as Amipro.

One great thing about it is the ability to save files in all kinds of other formats. Given the Microsoft world we operate in, Wordpro lets you save your files in various Word formats, so you easily share files with non-Wordpro users.

I also like the tool bar, how powerful it is, how easy it is to modify and customize it.

This is a great program. I hope IBM, the current owner will continue to support and develop it.

Word Pro 97: Good But...
I have had nothing but trouble with Microsoft's various Word's, from Word 6.0 which crashed, to Word 97 which crashed, to Word 2000 which gave me some strange Visual Basic Compile Error which caused the WP to refuse to print. It never did print, despite a reinstallation, and so in desperation, I deleted Word 2000 from my computer (some task as Microsoft refuses to leave once it bullies its way onto your system) and purchased a copy of WordPro 97, because I wanted a 'power' word processor with less trouble than the aggravation that Microsoft has been causing me. It is clearly a superior way to work with words, more intuitive, easier to use, nice pop-up menus, BUT...

The Spell Checker crashes.

Under three different operating systems (98, Me, 2000), all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, when I tried to add a word to my user dictionary, I get: "user dictionary in use by another program." Except it isn't in use by another program. And so, the spell checker just dies, becomes useless because you can't train it. I have played some magic on it to get it going again, like deleting the user dictionary which forces the system to create a new one, but all in all, it's a good, maybe great word processor needing a serious fix to this problem. Of course, the Lotus web site tells me little, and I refuse to pay a 'per incident' fee to 'the man' of my hard-earned money to get fix-it advice on something that shouldn't be broken in the first place.

All in all, I do recommend this word processor, its a beauty in terms of intuitiveness and user-friendliness. But come on, Lotus, fix this annoying bug!

I just wish SOMEONE would come out with a bug-free way to process my words: how about YOU, Lotus?? I'm TRYING to be a fan! ... Read more
