Review by Rawim
I don’t know why but I have always kinda like WordPerfect.
Yes I had to use Word at school and I had to use Word at work.
But there is something about WordPerfect that draws me to it. Admittedly the first computer I ever had came with WordPerfect and that is really what I learned to type on, but it is more then that.
The thing I find is that while WordPerfect and the other suite programs take a little bit more time to learn and understand, once you get the basic ideas ow how things are laid out, it is so much easier to to use WordPerfect, Quattro and Presentations.
Getting to the functions you want is easier, and more intuitive. I don’t find myself hunting through menus and boxes to find the changes I want to make.
Also the help functions are soooo much better. When you do a help search on Microsoft, you basically get a web search for whatever words you entered, with WordPerfect you get actual useful answers and tutorials on how to do what you are trying to do.
Also with WordPerfect you have the option to save files directly to PDF (A Must have nowadays if you ask me) and you have a program called paperport that lets you scan in papers and convert them, a really nice program.
While I am still forced to do much of my work on Word, I find myself more and more using WordPerfect saving and then just converting the files to MS Word or excel. A little extra work, but still easier then using the Microsoft products.
I wholeheartedly approve of this office suite.
