There was or is some tracking components for wordperfect that law firms use or used. According to quora and google searches, many law firms are switching to word because clients don't have wordperfect. It would have made sense in an age where everything was printed.

- azinman2 7y agoHard to collaborate with a PDF. Lawyers also send docs to other lawyers.

- IgniteTheSun 7y agoI don't think it was actually that long ago for law offices. WordPerfect was still a player amongst the general population even at the end of the 1990s, law offices held on for much longer. Complex documents were handled much better in WordPerfect than in Word.
- flomo 7y agoOkay, 15 years ago. I think it was Word 2000 which added whatever lawyer features were missing (something about word count iirc). Also the stickiness wasn't entirely the word processor but also document management systems implemented as WP extensions.
