Not to sound like a Corel shill, but: (1.) macros (2.) reveal codes (3.) shrink to fit
are features yet to be equalled by any other Linux word processor.
And of course, WordPerfect users who started out 20 years ago are not interested in learning
the peculiarities of OO, Koffice etc.

Ah... That is what people really want - the "full" WP8.1 with 300 + fonts.
There are some ridiculous prices being asked on e-bay for CLOS deluxe.
The value is in the WP8.1. It can install in other current distro's.
Current printer drivers are available too.
