Updated Request for Software Donations

I need any version of WordPerfect starting 8.0 and later, and any version of MS Word from among 2000, XP and 2003.
I’ll explain in hopes you’ll understand and can decide for yourself before God what you can do, if anything. The whole idea behind writing tools is clarity of communication. We hope to offer the best expression of precious truths; sometimes the expression itself is truth enough. While I profess to a modicum of good grammar education, that does not prevent me making errors as I pour out my heart into words. The internal traffic in my brain is not always good English grammar. If we were sitting face to face, what comes out would suffice because I could call on a wealth of non-verbal support, not least our human interaction and shared commitments. When writing for a wider audience, the precision of wording is far more important. It’s not an matter of absolutes, but making things as good as can be without wasting time and engaging too many resources.
I’d love to work with a team of human editors who could improve my output. Only for the most pivotal works (like TMOC) was it worth pulling in that much help, at whatever cost to those who helped. It was a lot of work, but I’m proud of the results. Unfortunately, I still have an awful lot of other stuff I need to write. The burden is huge; I’m driven beyond my reach, but can’t stop trying. I don’t want to burden others with helping write unless it seems important to them. No one has stepped forward to volunteer as staff editor and that’s fine. I’d much rather you obey your own driving force, regardless of how that might leave me on my own.
But there is one thing you might be able to do for me, if you feel inclined. I can get by in my work with the grammar correction offered by software. But no single grammar program is enough, as you might expect. Each is based on a different algorithm, and each is frequently right and wrong in different ways. We can’t trust them wholly or we wouldn’t need human writers in the first place. For now, I’m using the grammar checkers in MS Works 9, MS Office 97 and WordPerfect 6.1 on my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine. The latter two run in the XP Mode emulator, and WP 6 does it poorly at that. The emulator itself is a bit taxing on the computer, anyway. But I find the balance between WP’s Grammatik and MS’s grammar checkers pretty good for helping me correct what comes spilling out of my mind. I’d like to use software that doesn’t require a virtual machine, because it’s very clumsy and time-consuming.
While morally I can defend anyone using pirated software, God won’t let me do it personally on these projects. My copy of MS Office 2003 came with a pirated volume license key. I can’t use it in peace. If you have a key you aren’t using, I’d love to have it (MS Office 2003 Professional). I note the software itself can be legally downloaded if you know where to look. It runs just fine on Win7; I’d rather not use anything later than that (I hate the “ribbon”) but I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth. As for WordPerfect, I believe the breakpoint is around version 8. Those who have WP 8 say it works okay on Win7, as do all later versions. While I can download a trial copy as far back as WP X3, I’d have to have a disk for earlier versions. If you have a recent key you’ll give me, I’d love it, but if you have anything before that, could you send me the disk instead? I believe OEM versions install without a key, and I’ll be glad to use that. I have one reader working on finding a copy of WordPerfect later than my 6.1, but he seemed dubious he would succeed. Even if you don’t have anything to offer yourself, perhaps you could ask around among your our resources.
In case you are wondering, my computer was donated, not working. I got it working and it’s a marvelous tool, but I could never afford anything like it on my own. It really socked my resources just getting a monitor and hard drive for it. For those of you interesting in seeing how God answers such requests, I’ll be making updates to this post if/when the situation changes.
Update 1: I got my hands on an old copy of MS Office 2000, anonymous source. It’s functional, though updating is impossible. MS orphaned it some time ago. I can’t find a copy of that huge SR1 they released awhile back. Still, it’s working without having to run an emulator. I’m okay with this until someone offers something better.
Update 2: Found a returned copy of Corel Office X5 cheaply enough through Amazon. It’s now installed and all appears to be well. Thanks for your prayers.
