Word & WP: UNDO/REDO

5

 

WP has 200 more Undo Levels and you can save Undo/Redo History with your document, i.e., you don't lose the ability to UNDO after closing the document.

Word & WP: Cut/Copy/Paste

 

1

Both Word & WP allow you to Append to the Clipboard (Word: Spike).

MSOffice2000's new clipboard is an excellent idea, however, you can, download a similar, free program from the Web.

Word: Paste as Hyperlink

 

1

Word allows you to Paste as a Hyperlink within your document.

Both are comparable.

WP: Repeat Next Action

Word: Repeat Last Action

5

1

You can set WP to Repeat the Next Action anywhere between 2 and 65,535 times. Word can only Repeat your last action by continually hitting Ctrl+Y (providing you didn't hit Undo, in which case Ctrl+Y becomes REDO).

WP: Convert Case
Word: Change Case

WordPerfect is intelligent about Initial Capitals. It does not make prepositions, conjunctions, or articles Capitals (unless it's the first word in a sentence).

Select

1

 

WordPerfect allows you to Select All, Select Sentence, Select Paragraph, or Select Page, simply by right-clicking outside your margin. You can select a word or paragraph in Word (and WP) using double or triple clicks, but this isn't as efficient as a single 'Right-Click & Select Action'. You can easily click too many or too few times and select the wrong part. In Word, selecting a sentence can be accomplished by holding CTRL, then clicking. However, I think it's easier to remember a single action (e.g., Right-Click outside your Margin) than remembering multiple combinations for different selections.

Word & WP: Edit Graphic Box

1

 

Available in WP. Only available in Word by clicking on a Box, which can be difficult if it's behind text.

Word & WP: Edit Graphic Line

1

 

Available in WP.  Again, available in Word by clicking on a Line.

Word & WP: Edit Links

 

1

Word allows you to lock a link

Word & WP: Edit Object

1

 

WP has a vast array of options

Word & WP: Find & Replace

1

 

Both have good points. However, WP’s ability to search for every code makes it win this section. WP also has more options.

Note: As stated in the Preamble, Word does allow you to create complex searches, but  thanks to WordPerfect's Reveal Codes, I've not needed to do such a search in WP.

Each has Go To Options that the other doesn't; pretty much equal.
