Legend
The Comparison is broken down by Menu Item. Each Item is compared and assigned points based on which is better.
The Point System |
| 1 Point |
Where a feature is very similar in both programs, each program receives a point. If the feature only exists in one program, then that program gets the point |
| 5 Points |
Using the explanations above, a program may receive 5 points for a particular feature. IF that feature is significantly better AND/OR a really good productivity-enhancing feature |
| 10 Points |
Using the explanations above, a program may receive 10 points for a particular feature IF that feature is phenomenal—i.e., a feature that is used every day and genuinely helps a user be more productive in a significant way |
The Icons: |
 |
If Word has introduced a feature that WordPerfect previously had, WordPerfect will have an icon below the points awarded |
 |
Similarly, if WordPerfect has introduced a feature that Word has had in previous versions, Word will have an icon below the points it is awarded. |
Example: |
Under Drawing, Word will have 4 Word icons, meaning that its Drawing features were at least 4 versions ahead of WordPerfect, i.e., Word users benefitted for 8 years with a feature that WordPerfect lacked. |
Color-Coding |
| Each program has introduced or enhanced features with this release. To help you identify features that are new or enhanced in each version, the table-row is colored green. |
