WordPerfect Office X7 Standard is a solid app suite and compares favorably to Microsoft Office Professional. I’ve been using WP for about a month and I’ve been able to do everything that I do with MS Office Pro. The fact that WP’s files are compatible with MS Office is a great feature.
If I were someone who had to use MS Office at work, I’d buy MS Office for home, too. That way I’d always be learning the ins and outs of one app instead of two. If I could use any business suite all the time, though, I’d select WP. It’s robust and – importantly – less expensive than MS Office Pro.
One downside for WP: Because MS Office is so popular, there are more educational books, sites, forums and videos out there for learning that app than there are for WP Office. That might be a deal-breaker for some.
Overall, WP Office is a great office suite and it’s too bad that so many people are tied to MS Office.
