[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 678491, member: 6957"] No, I am saying that I REALLY like working with Word Perfect. I have had a lot of experience with Word Perfect going back to version 4. :) I am very happy indeed with Word Perfect 10, and use it for most of my gaming needs. (The fact that it shows the font being chosen, the fact that it comes with the best font management program I have ever seen, the fact that it can output to PDF, I just LIKE it.) I have to admit that I don't even see how you get trolling out of that. Or to put it another way, if someone really likes chocolate, the pistachio had better be DARN good for him to buy it. I am willing to try out the pistachio, but quite likely to go back to chocolate. I am sure RPM has a lot of features that Word Perfect lacks, especially in regards to the mechanics of D20 just as Word Perfect has features that RPM lacks, especially in regards to an aesthetically pleasing finished product. (Hmmm, now that I admit DOES sound like a troll, sorry, let's say 'formatting' instead.) What I am really hoping for is something I can use with Word Perfect, not a replacement. Perhaps for initial adventure design vs. finished item, or (better) being able to send the RPM material to WP for editing.(Which is what I am really hoping for. Given that there are a number of outputs for RPM it seems a reasonable hope.) This is how I use most of the programs that I have for gaming. A long list indeed, ranging from Dungeon Crafter to PCGen. (PCGen is the one that gives me the most difficulty, mostly to do with the way inventory is formatted.) Sorry if this sounds a bit trollish, but I was quite frosted with the initial accusation, even though I suspect it was made at least half in jest. (A bit of a sore point there with me, I think.) As for a competition between Word Perfect and Role Playing Master, that would be like a competition between Apples and Miniatures (you pick which is which), not really in the same category at all. The only reason they are in competion in my personal case is that I have had so much experience with WP that I have to stop and think while using something else. (You should see me suffer with Microsoft Works.) I am planning on sitting down with RPM either tonight or tomorrow night, haven't had a chance to do so since yesterday. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
