The Differences between WordPerfect 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 by Gary Kukis; updated January 19, 2003 Why the Upgrade? A Summary Customization Documents Formatting General Environment Graphics Menu Navigation Tables Toolbars Tools View Web Features Miscellaneous Considerations Miscellaneous Features Summary Final Scores Addendum on WP 9 SP 4 The last three versions of WordPerfect which were put out by Corel after Corel took over WordPerfect are all three extraordinary programs. They are all designed for Windows 9x, although WordPerfect 7 and 8 were specifically designed for Windows ‘95 and WP 9 for Windows ‘98, they all seem to run quite well on Windows ‘98.1 I have loaded and run WP 9 quite successfully on Windows 2000 as well. We all have our favorites. I, having become less and less enchanted with MS products, usually use WP 7 at home, mostly because it doesn’t look like a MS product. WordPerfect’s subsequent look in versions 8 and 9 is much more like MS Word and for users of MS Word who plan to exit the overpriced upgrading of MS Word, will want to go with either version 8 or 9 (people who have used Word for a long time will want to use WP 9). I do use version 8 at home occasionally, and always in the office, however, and I use version 9 at school. Versions 8 and 9 suck up a lot of resources, which is not a problem for the newer computers (200 MHz and above with 32 RAM and higher). However, depending upon RAM and other factors, version 7 might be your best choice if you are using a computer which runs at 100 MHz. Not only is speed a factor, but stability is a factor as well. The less resources, the more often you will have to reboot (as you have no doubt found with Windows 9x in general). No matter which version you choose, most people will find any of these versions easier to use and more feature-full than any of the MS Word products on up to MS Word 2000. I see WordPerfect 7 and MS Word 2000 are being fairly evenly matched, with WP 7 as having the slight edge (they both have some good features that the other does not); WP 8 and 9 are superior to all versions of Word so far. Now you may think that with these various flavors of WordPerfect that 8 is better than 7 and that 9 is better than both 7 and 8; however, that is incorrect. From the standpoint of stability, required resources, interface, and documents created for the web, in some respects, it is almost like we have three different products here. I personally prefer the interface of WordPerfect 7, mostly because it doesn’t look like MS Word. But then I use WP 8 exclusively for saving my work as HTML documents. However, only WP 9 allows me to publish a document in PDF format and only WP 9 has instant preview, which is important to those of us who are anal retentive. Therefore, I have all three versions and have no reason to remove one version and use a different version exclusively. The differences between the three programs are often slight, but, in some areas, they are significant—important enough to cause one to purchase one rather than the other. Now, where can you get WordPerfect 7 and 8? You would have to go to ebay or some other auction or used item alternative. And, WP 7 is an outstanding product whose available supplies are limited—therefore, if you decide that is the product for you, the search may become more intensive. Why the Upgrade ? A Summary: A reasonable question is: if WordPerfect 7 is so good (and it is), why did Corel continue to put out new versions? First of all, for any software company, they are in the business to make money. You cannot put out a great piece of software and then let that be your lifetime legacy. You have to make changes (ideally, improvements) so that you can sell more products. 1 I am not exam ining WordPerfect 7 for Windows 3x, although it is by far the best word processing program designed for those who still use Windows 3x. It does take up a lot of room, and, being the size program that it is, it can by s low to load and slow when performing certain functions (assuming that you are running Windows 3x on an older computer). On a newer computer—say, 133 mHz or faster—WP 7 is a speed-demon running under Windows 3x. However, the two WP 7 programs are very different—more so than the differences between WP 7 and 9.

If you don’t particularly want to wade through a lot of this, then check out the Summary or the Final Scores at the very end. Also, in this comparison, I made some judgment calls as to which version had the better feature. In many cases, the differences between them may not be important enough for you.

    Revisiting XSS Sanitization

    Revisiting XSS Sanitization Ashar Javed Chair for Network and Data Security Horst G¨ortzInstitute for IT-Security, Ruhr-University Bochum [email protected] Abstract. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) | around fourteen years old vul- nerability is still on the rise and a continuous threat to the web applica- tions. Only last year, 150505 defacements (this is a least, an XSS can do) have been reported and archived in Zone-H (a cybercrime archive)1. The online WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or rich-text editors are now a days an essential component of the web applications. They allow users of web applications to edit and enter HTML rich text (i.e., formatted text, images, links and videos etc) inside the web browser window. The web applications use WYSIWYG editors as a part of comment functionality, private messaging among users of applications, blogs, notes, forums post, spellcheck as-you-type, ticketing feature, and other online services. The XSS in WYSIWYG editors is considered more dangerous and exploitable because the user-supplied rich-text con- tents (may be dangerous) are viewable by other users of web applications. In this paper, we present a security analysis of twenty five (25) pop- ular WYSIWYG editors powering thousands of web sites. The anal- ysis includes WYSIWYG editors like Enterprise TinyMCE, EditLive, Lithium, Jive, TinyMCE, PHP HTML Editor, markItUp! universal markup jQuery editor, FreeTextBox (popular ASP.NET editor), Froala Editor, elRTE, and CKEditor. At the same time, we also analyze rich-text ed- itors available on very popular sites like Twitter, Yahoo Mail, Amazon, GitHub and Magento and many more.
  • A Brief LATEX Tutorial

    A Brief LATEX Tutorial

    A brief LATEX tutorial. Henri P. Gavin Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Duke University Durham, NC 27708{0287 [email protected] September 30, 2002 Abstract LATEX is a very powerful text processing system available to all students through the university's network of Unix work stations. Versions of LATEX which run on PC's and Mac's are available through the Internet. LATEX is becoming the \standard" text processor for publications in science, engineering, and mathematics. LATEX has many features, including: • The printed output is BEAUT IFUL! • Equations are relatively easy to enter, once you get the hang of it. • LATEX automatically numbers the sections, subsections, figures, tables, footnotes, equations, theorems, lemmas, and the references of your paper. When you add a new section or sub-section, or a new reference, every item is re-numbered au- tomatically! It can create its own table of contents and indices automatically as well. • It can easily manage very long documents, like theses and books. The down-side of LATEX is that it is somewhat cumbersome to use and can be difficult to learn. Many LATEX manuals are not written for the rank beginner, and don't make it terribly clear how to make simple formatting changes such as margins, font size, or line spacing. For many people, learning LATEX through examples is the easiest way to go. The purpose of this document is to illustrate what LATEX can do for you, and (without getting into too much detail) show you how to do it, so that you can learn to use LATEX quickly and easily.

  • Enhancing RTF Output with RTF Control Words and In-Line Formatting

    Enhancing RTF Output with RTF Control Words and In-Line Formatting

    Paper PO04 Enhancing RTF Output with RTF Control Words and In-Line Formatting Lori S. Parsons, Ovation Research Group, Seattle, Washington ABSTRACT The SAS® Output Delivery System (ODS) allows output to be printed directly to a Rich Text Format (RTF) file. RTF can be read by word processors such as Microsoft Word and WordPerfect. In SAS 8.1, options were added to enhance SAS TITLES and FOOTNOTES. Also added was the ability to use RTF control words within cells. In SAS 8.2, ODS supported in-line formatting and added the TEXT= option. All of these formatting methods give us the ability to insert formatting text into a cell or paragraph and can be used to enhance output. In this paper, an RTF file will be created with enhanced SAS TITLES, footnote markers in variable labels and values, custom footnotes, an inserted image, and an inserted hyperlink. The code was run with SAS Version 9.1.2 on Windows XP Professional. The RTF files are viewed with Microsoft® Office Word 2003. INTRODUCTION Rich Text Format (RTF) is a file type used to transfer formatted text and graphics between applications, even those that run on different platforms such as Windows, IBM and Macintosh. With RTF, documents created under different operating systems and with different software applications can be transferred between those operating systems and applications. It has become increasingly popular to produce output in SAS and then distribute it to others who will view the file in a word processor. Being able to customize SAS output through RTF code is an invaluable tool.

It's geared toward a variety of back- grounds: those who have proofed and formatted thousands of pages at DP but have always avoided LATEX, long-time LATEX users who are fairly new to DP and its ways, and (it is hoped) everyone in between. In the interest of brevity, this manual discusses only well-standardized, project- independent formatting, and cautions mostly against common errors. Frequently, where formatting decisions are concerned, you're directed to external resources (especially, writing to dp-feedback or posting in the forums). Section1 is a very brief introduction to DP, L ATEX, and their distinctive inter- relationship. Section2 constitutes a user's guide and reference manual, meant both to be read for tutorial information and to be thumbed through as you format your first pages. Both parts are written in mostly-independent sections, culled from existing DP wiki pages, forum posts, and private discussions. Do feel free to skip around as you read.1 Important items (such as reminders to ask for human help) are repeated as necessary so they won't be overlooked by non-serial readers, and potential pitfalls are clearly marked. 1.1 The DP Process A book's contents go through three major stages at Distributed Proofreaders: proof- reading (\proofing”), formatting (\F1 and F2"), and post-processing (\PP").

    WYSIWYG Formatted Text & Images Editor for VCL & Firemonkey

    TMS WYSIWYG text editor controls for VCL & FireMonkey WYSIWYG formatted text & images editor for VCL & FireMonkey Background The standard rich text editor that ships with Delphi for over 15 years now is based on the Windows riched20.dll library control. While Microsoft introduced meanwhile newer versions 3.0 and 4.1 of this rich editor control, the VCL version continued to be based on a wrapper of the v2.0. This means that the feature set of this rich editor control is quite limited. On the other side, in the Delphi cross platform framework FireMonkey, there is no edit control for rich text at all. The only editor control that is available there in the framework is TMemo. As many of our customers requested both more flexibility from a Windows VCL based rich editor and also a rich editor for FireMonkey, the TMS team decided to take on these projects. From the start, we want to create a control for FireMonkey that would fit neatly the FMX paradigm of one source code to rule all platforms (Windows, iOS, Android, Mac OSX at this time) but realizing this would be a huge effort, we wanted that this effort would also be usable for VCL developers targetting Windows only. Architecture After a lot of research was done on performance (as we knew from our experience with other FMX controls this would be difficult) we decided on what we internally disrespectfully call a sandwich architecture. This sandwich architecture should enable us to isolate a core formatted text handling layer from the framework, i.e.

Object- Oriented Multi-User Domains are text- and network-based applications that allow in- dividuals to converse in real time with each other and to interact with user-de¯ned simulation objects. As part of our e®orts to develop advanced network-based learning tools, we describe how we have integrated these two highly powerful and popular Inter- net applications. Our integration merges the strengths of the World-Wide Web (font styles, images, hypermedia, and hypertext), with the strengths of Multi-User Domains (interactivity and easy construction of software controlled objects). 1 Introduction 1.1 The World-Wide Web The World-Wide Web consists of over ¯ve million documents and a vast collection of database information distributed throughout the world and organized by a web of hypertext links connecting related topics. Reflecting the popularity and growth of this distributed information system, Web-based information is doubling every six months to a year.
