For those of us who strongly prefer WordPerfect (because of its superior editing tools like “reveal codes”*), Westlaw should pull its thumb out of its mouth. Its time to make West hyperlinking tools work with WP X6, the newest version of WordPerfect.
While WP X3 can be used with West hyperlinking tools, switching between X6 and X3 merely to hyperlink wastes time. Yes, I know that I can manually add hyperlinks, but guess what Westlaw I don’t want to waste the time. If you offer hyperlinking tools, don’t pull a bait and switch.
I hear that Westlaw will rewrite its code maybe in the fall. That’s silly and way too late.
Westlaw is holding up things by not fixing its code so that WP X6 can be used with West’s hyperlinking tools. So, please Westlaw get with the program.

Ain’t WP great. Let me guess: Beatles, not Rolling Stones.
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
