All it takes is one single law office to use MS-Word to blow JEDs idiotic 
claim out of the water.

Wordperfect may have been the standard long ago, but that's no longer true.

From the book - "Using Computers in the Law Office"

LEGAL WORD-PROCESSING PROGRAMS:
MICROSOFT WORD VS. COREL WORDPERFECT

Forgive me Corel. I love your WordPerfect product. But the reality I see for 
law firms is that the evil empire has won the war. And that’s not because of 
people like me who are of this opinion. It’s because of the majority of our 
clients, who have been in the Word world since it’s inception. Ultimately, 
in today’s competitive climate, what the client wants, the client gets.

I also see it reflected in legal software produced by third party vendors. I 
am starting to see packages which have only Word versions. I also see that 
Word versions usually come out first, and are updated more often, when two 
versions are offered by a vendor.

Looking online at various legal-templates, etc I see way, way more things 
for MS-Word than for Wordperfect.

That ship sailed a long time ago and isn't coming back.

Note - We moved last summer. Sold one house and bought another (condo 
actually). We dealt with two different law firms and they both were using 
MS-Office.
