The forced switch from WordPerfect to MSWord in the office I used to work in was a disaster and took years to get back to the same level of productivity. In my mind, WordPerfect was and is superior to MSWord and it was just one more stupid managerial decision made by a couple of new people at the top, that were not used to using WordPerfect and were not aware, or satisfied that WordPerfect could save to the MSWord format, that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity and the initial cost to purchase MSOffice for over 400 employees. There were several business practices that had to be changed, simply because MSWord could not do all the things that WordPerfect was capable of. It was a huge f**kup.
