Other Information:

-Microsoft Word’s main competitor is Corel WordPerfect. They are both two very well done programs, but in my opinion Microsoft is a more experienced company and produces many more software programs than Corel. Overall I would say Word is a better program than WordPerfect due to its extras. Word comes with many extras such as French and Spanish Proofing Tools, and Converters. I find these converters very useful considering the fact that WordPerfect is used at school and I use Word at home. These converters transform files for intended for different word processing programs to a .doc

so it can be viewed and edited with Word. The same goes for some other Office 2000 programs that are as well integrated with Word.
