>I will partially disagree (or is that partially agree). This is true for "the rest of us" but for professional secretaries they didn't care about the common interface, they had years of experience and formal training in products like WordPerfect. Using the mouse and menus slowed them down. For them, hotkeys were nirvana.
Hi Evan,
I'm with you. I'm always appalled that some IT guy decides that an office should standardize on Word, when the office personel already uses and prefers WordPerfect. My (short-lived) predecessor here made that decision and was crucified for it (as well as other things). A friend of mine who writes contracts all day just had hers taken away, their office is planning a revolt right now.
I'm a die-hard WordPerfect fan (even though Corel has ruined the program I still prefer it to Word). I can't live without reveal codes. Word always decides to change the formatting and it becomes impossible to get it back the way I want it.
later.

About a dog, who found two bone.
He lick the one, he lick the other.
He went pyscho, he drop dead!
