I certainly do not want to become involved in a tool war. But, WP10 is
reputed to: <from the Corel website>
"Publish-to-PDF and HTML enhancements ? take advantage of more powerful
PDF capabilities that now support hyperlinks and watermarks, and HTML
capabilities including cascading style sheets"
It also supports direct importation of Word files. Many do not have it
because:
they have an OEM edition of Word; Many IT administrators are not
informed on how to install and maintain WP; (It really does not require
more than some rudimentary thought and planning.) there are more books
on Word than WP. But, yea I agree that for certain work one needs the
full Adobe product.
