Corel Product - Word Perfect Home & Student [Posted on 2008-09-23]
I'm very pleased with this software. I like Word Perfect much better than Word because it is more versatile.
I highly recommend it.
Version is not the one described on this product page - why? [Posted on 2008-09-23]
I agree with the other reviewer who said this is not as advertised. I talked my husband into letting me spend the money based in large part on the fact that this product can open and create PDF files, as clearly stated in the product description.
Why have that text on the page for this product if it only applies to a completely different (and more expensive) version?
I am now stuck with a product that will not do what I thought it would when I made my buying decision.
I disappointed with Corel in particular, and even with Amazon a little. Open Office is free and supports Microsoft Office, Corel Wordperfect, AND PDF files. I guess I will just learn to use it.
Not perfect, but close [Posted on 2008-09-24]
I have used WordPerfect in all its permutations since it came on 5 1/4" disks and had a blank blue screen. The lastest version continues the ease of use and power that I expect. The parts that are missing from the "professional" version are not really important for my needs and the price more than makes up for it.
Because I have to match with other people, I also use Word 2007, but WordPerfect continues to be the better product. Whenever I can, I use it instead of Word.
Word Perfect Office X4 [Posted on 2008-10-12]
Corel has improved their Office Suite with this new version X4. It no longer has the problems it once struggled with using VISTA operating system. It is easy and intuitive to work with and you can save files in MS Word for Windows format, or any other MS Office format. It comes with WordPerfect X4, Quatro X4 spreadsheet, Presentation X4, and Lightening X4 (kind of like Office OneNote, only easier.) At less than half the cost of MS how can you go wrong?
A Pig in a Poke [Posted on 2008-10-13]
My wife and I have 4 computers at 2 addresses. We have exclusively used WordPerfect as a word processor for over 20 years. In the last year the different flavors of the software we have loaded became corrupted and very erratic. So we did some research and decided to try WordPerfect Home & Student Office X4 after trying Open Office and finding it did not do all the graphics and margin manipulation my wife does as a minister who creates her own church materials.
The package came in a very large, highly illustrated (Big Store) box measuring 9 1/2 inches long, 8 inches wide and nearly 2 inches thick. Inside there was another cardboard box for rigidity, but then only an install CD, a fonts/photos/gimmicks CD, a Training Video CD and a single sheet "freebie"ad for Stamps,com. In short, there was this huge box for just 3 CDs in white envelopes.
THERE WAS NO DOCUMENTATION OF ANY KIND save for fine print systems requirements on the outside box. There was no offer of support or a listing anywhere of an email address or telephone number to go to with questions about installing the suite with prior editions of WP already on your computer. Put in another way, the only guidance in the whole package was an instruction to "Put disk #1 in your CD-ROM drive." In much bigger letters on the outside of the package was a warning: "INSTALL ON UP TO 3 COMPUTERS." This was a big surprise as we have 4 computers and if the sales info on the Internet had mentioned a limited license we never would have bought it. We also would not have bought it if we knew the company would not show respect to their user base.
We still think WordPerfect features are the best on the market but also think it is very sad to find that Corel Corporation does an even worse job than Microsoft in respecting and being responsive to the reasonable needs of their customers.
