Learning to use Word will be a struggle. They are both good programs but they think about documents in very different ways. See What are some basic tips for someone who is converting from Word Perfect?
I ask because it seems like a lot of 3rd party programs for my IPad only have a Word option when saving, emailing etc. and not WP

Here is my main question. I am a lawyer and the main thing I use WP for is merging a wp data file with a form I have prepared that has the appropriate fields designated for the data contained in the data file. This enables me to prepare an entire group of documents with one merge command.

Can this be done in Word?

Thanks
