WordPerfect Office 4X StandardnnThis is a fully functional Office package that rivals and in some cases surpasses MS Office. Each of the programs load more quickly then it’s MS Office counterparts do on the same PC. It installs in less time then MS Office and you are asked less questions during the install.
It can open almost any file including PDF’s but with the documents originally created in MS Office it makes slight format changes and in some cases changes the font style.
I have used other editions of Word Perfect nice the time that Novell owned it and I have always liked the functionality of each edition and this is no different in fact in some areas it surpassed my high expectations. I just with it was a little more interoperable with MS Office. It does work fairly well with Open Office that I have installed on my MAC but the formatting changes somewhat here too.
One of the nice features is the ability to preview a document without having to open it, it’s a real time saver for me. The edition of a fully functional mail program is nice.
The graphics selection is great and inserting and resizing graphics has become easier.
It’s great as a stand alone processor or in a network environment where only Word Perfect is used but unfortunately won’t work that well in an environment dominated by MS Office. Still it’s my preferred home processor by far. It’s easy to use, fairly intuitive and you can turn out some really professional looking documentation with little effort.
