Oh don't I wish.

WP5.1 is simply the most efficient program there is for MTs. It unfortunately is not for everyone else. PRD is also the finest word Expander ever made...nothing can touch it. MTs have not fared well with all the technology required to get a report from point A to point B. All those people who now have to know everything there is to know about software and hardware and their compatibilities have to be paid (as they should) and that is coming out of our pockets along with the offshoring. The younger MTs don't know anything but windows and word. WP12 is a windows program. WP5.1 is DOS. You have no idea how much money the wonderful world of windows and word has cost you. MT used to be an extremely well-paid position; it is no longer.
