Common Sense Wordworking II: The FinalWord II, WordPerfect 4.1, and PC‐Write 2.5
Abstract
Librarians and other professionals preparing complex documents benefit from sophisticated wordworking systems. A small handful of wordworking systems provide unusually flexible print formatting and text handling. The author considers two such programs, The FinalWord II and WordPerfect 4.1. The two programs achieve somewhat similar ends through distinctly different means. WordPerfect has a wider variety of unusual text‐manipulation capabilities, while The FinalWord offers more varied formatting capabilities and much greater user control. The two programs are compared with each other; and their editing functions are compared with PC‐Write. Time trials show some of the strengths and weaknesses of each editor.
