Hi, wonderful responses, thanks.
Milo, Word Perfect 8.0.0.153 to be exact. It was my dealer copy, so has been with me for 14 years at least. I sold a lot of WP, but my main thrust was for CAD, so it was just a customer support thing.
I've tried converting to Word many times, but I go back to my comfortable old cardigan and fumble in the pockets for the Quick-Correct names of the people I've been living with for so long. Word has so much more, but I don't need almost all of it.
Now however, it does seem I should get the laptop out and look at PDF creation in Word.
Using WP to convert to older Word seems to work quite well, so pals that are doing some proofreading for me seem to find no problems. Indeed, my one copy of 2010 Word looks quite good without much alteration. Somehow I seem to skip the .docx files which seem to have infuriated so many long-term users.
Off to dinner and Downton Abby, so will be back later.
