Review by Medianvalued

I just bought this from Amazon and, sadly, I think I’ll have to return it on compatibility grounds.

So far, I’ve only tried Quattro Pro.

Excel Macros don’t work.

I still haven’t figured how to get into Basic - that menu item is shaded and doesn’t seem to work.

Standard spreadsheet functions like @OFFSET do not appear to work - I checked HELP and the syntax seems to be the same as for Excel but I gave up trying to figure out how to get my working Excel sheet to return any kind of VALUE (you can do that in Excel) - what I got instead was some weird string that looks like a REFERENCE. I did figure out how to rewrite my @OFFSET calls to @INPUT calls - took a while. This brings back memories of the Borland days of Quattro Pro - back then the spreadsheet would freeze sometimes when moving columns around.

You can tell from this that I care a lot about the compatibility of QP with Excel (I have to care). Now if you don’t care about compatibility then this is not an issue.

On the WordPerfect side - a long, long time ago I got my whole company (1,000 employees) to switch from DOS Wordstar to DOS WordPerfect. I’m sure I’d like this version of WP - but importing equations is important to me and, sadly, according to one of the reviews here, that doesn’t work either.
