I have hear some people say that they like the Star Office 6.0 a lot and 
some said that it wasn't as nice as 5.2.  I am hoping to get Star Office 
6.0 soon to try it out myself.  I like the Open Office, but it doesn't 
have any clipart, templates, or extra fonts.  WordPerfect is still one 
of the best wordprocessors around.
