[plug] WordPerfect for Linux

Thanks for the answers to my last query guys.

I was wondering if I could bother you all for some info on the Wordperfect
for Linux application.   Firstly, the Corel webpage only really mentions
the one WP v8 application and I was wondering if the Linux version has all
the bells and whistles (ie spreadsheet etc) that are listed there.  As far
as I can tell from the www.everythinglinux.com.au site there is only a Word
Processor.  Does the Linux App have the contact management, spreadsheet,
etc . of the , supposedly, Windows Suite.

As well, can you ctrl-direction key from one work to the next ?  This is so
second nature now that I embarass myself in any app that does not do it.  I
can cane through a Word doc and have it written it half the time it takes
me to do the same thing in Applix Words.  It is these sorts of things,
regrettably, which determine some purchases for me -- I am sure you know
what it is like when you have a paper due, and you don't want to be
restling with your Word Processor, after spending all night getting the
frickin' code you are writing the documentation for.

But I digress.

Cheers,

Brad
