Back in 286/386 days I used to like WP 10x as much as
Word.

However, WP did an upgrade (this is a lot of years ago)
and I HATED the upgrade.

Over that same period, Word became much easier to use,
and lots more flexible. IMO.

Can you even get WP any more...?

However... as a matter of sending docs back and forth and
the interoperability with other MSFT applications....I
believe if all things were equal, meaning you’d have to
go buy WP at the same price you’d have to buy
Word....you’d want to buy and use Word.
