Can they win an injunction against people using Powerpoint as a graphic design program?

As much as I am all for kicking MS in the nuts, doing it based on a software patent is not my idea of a good thing. I hate that you can patent algorithms. It makes about as much sense as patenting genes. Oh wait.

I'm hoping this leads to WordPerfect returning to its rightful place as the industry-standard word processor.

Sadly, it no longer worked right as of the last version of WP I had...

It works fine in WordPerfect X13. That's only one version away from the current one.
