And why does that cause you a problem, exactly? I still use an old version of Word Perfect (v12, I think) as my word processor of choice when I don't need to send the file to anyone else. If the site allows me to convert files to Word Perfect, why should they disable that feature, as you seem to imply? I learned to use Word Perfect under what was then VAX/VMS in the late 1980s, then via WP 5.1 for DOS to WP for Windows. It still does a good job, and I prefer it to Open Office unless there's a chance that I need to share the document. And don't give me any BS about "out-of-date" software or similar. I spent a working lifetime writing (mainly) software for doing process control and laboratory database work. You should see the amount of antique kit which was bought to do a specific job in a laboratory and is still doing that job because the kit still works and does the job well. Case in point is the Canadian nuclear energy people who are (or were recently) looking for DEC PDP assembly language programmers, they apparently intend to keep their PDPs running until 2050, more than 50 years since the now-extinct DEC discontinued them. Were I a few years younger, I'd be brushing up my Macro-11...
