Corel’s latest WordPerfect Office X5 suite package is a reasonably priced (you can find it for less than 50 dollars if you shop around) and fully functional office-application set that provides a great alternative to Microsoft Office.
The standout of this package is WordPerfect - a fantastically robust word processing program that is great with documents requiring detailed and complex layouts, PDF file editing and a terrific assortment of pre-made layout templates that will get beginner’s documents looking extremely professional within minutes. Presentations X5 provides Powerpoint presentation creation functionality that gives you everything you’d expect from such a program. The only component that seems slightly lacking is Quattro Pro X5. While this program seems to match Excel, feature for feature, there seems to be some issues when opening up native .xslx files that throws off formatting and charts and graphs. These days with Excel so firmly entrenched as a corporate software staple this is the one component of Corel’s Office suite that users would best skip out on and stick with Microsoft’s original.
