No inconvenience, and if you'll read my reply in full, you'll see that
I also answered your question.
No program says "microsoft wordperfect 10" because WordPerfect is not
a Microsoft product, but a product of Corel. You will find very few
WordPerfect users here in this Microsoft newsgroup, but because I
happen to be one, I answered you. Asking your question in the
appropriate place increases your chances of getting the answer you are
looking for, and that's the most important reason for you to ask in
the appropriate place. Corel has its own newsgroups, where WordPerfect
questions are asked and answered all the time.
