You may have already seen this site
http://www.smouter.net/docs/wordperfect-language-assistants.htm
which provides a WordPerfect add-on for typing in Greek, Hebrew, and a
few other scripts.
I use WP for creating class notes in Greek because it offers all
accents, etc.
The macro add-on makes it easy to switch from one script to another.
I prefer WordPerfect over Word because of the extra features it offers.
For instance, in WP you can subdivide a landscape page into two logical
pages so that each half of the landscape page becomes a distinctive
page. While both Word and WP can do split columns, only WP can subdivide
the page.
After printing, slice the landscape page to create two pages 5.5"x8.5"
complete with separate page numbers, footers, etc. on each smaller page.
The feature is great for creating sermon notes or manuscripts to take to
the pulpit because the paper is not as bulky as a standard sheet of
8.5"x11".
I have no vested interest in WordPerfect.
Cheers,
John
