I just posted a question about this as a reply to an earlier post "This is heavenly."

In a nutshell, I relied on the Lightning Reader link to give people access to receiving a manual in the format in which I wrote it -- bullets, fonts, pagination, footnotes, pictures, copyright notice, and all.  The result when opened by Word is a jumbled mess.

I am now faced with retyping the entire manual in a simplistic format to be saved as a .doc -- WP is far more sophisticated a program, top of the line for academic and creative work: I even set up a fairly sophisticated accounting program for eBay sales just using Word Perfect tables.

A few Word Perfects back, I had a computer set up with great Macros for typing Spanish fluidly.  Sadly, the Macros became more complicated so now I use the alt + system for accented characters -- about as unwieldy as typing on a Chinese manual typewriter.  We do still have the old computer with the old WP program set up for me to type term papers in Spanish, as it was the best for that -- using the nice formatting of WP in either English or Spanish or a mix, with logical keystrokes for special characters. 

That's neither here nor there.  The problem at hand is an Easy Reader for people unfamiliar with WordPerfect.  A great deal of trust is engendered by the simple and quick download: people with limited computer skills are unlikely to take the time to download the sizeable sample Office Complex/Suite or even begin to download it in order to do a limited installation of Lightning only, if that is even possible.

Save me before I have to retype the manual -- with footnotes, pictures, page numbers, fonts, and bullets!
