Review by Colorgirl
I have used Word Perfect on and off since the early 90s and have always enjoyed using it more than Microsoft products. I have also done remarkable graphics work from Corel PhotoPaint and CorelDraw for years too, often having rave comments from other graphic artists who assumed I had been using Photoshop or Illustrator.
I had lost track of WordPerfect for a while, but with the X6 package, am amazed at how superior this product is compared to the Office Products that I had been forced to use due to computer issues. What a breath of fresh air to be using WordPerfect Office instead. I was hoping to have some problems to warn about or pointers to give, but so far, it is pretty easy and problem free for me!nnSo far, I have not had any problems translating files from Corel to Microsoft file formats, nor have I had problems reading files sent to me from the newer Microsoft programs.
The Quattro Pro spreadsheet program was great too- easy to use and follow.
The templates are helpful and useful as well. I have used several of them when I am in a hurry and don’t know what else to do.
The help files are all searchable online now so it is easier to access instead of having to pull out a manual. I will say that the search engine is not always the greatest so you might have to play around with words until you find what you want.
I am still working on exploring all of the program that I can, as it is really enjoyable to use and work with.
I will continue to update as I learn more about the program and if I run into any problems worth mentioning.
I am using this currently with Windows XP but plan on transferring it to my Windows 7 machine I am putting together soon and will update with my experiences there as well.
As with all of the Corel choices, the price point alone makes it amazing, but the ease of use and lack of problems I have had so far make it truly worth taking a look at. I am so glad I can leave my Microsoft by the wayside again. I didn’t realize how much I had missed WordPerfect until I got this Office edition!
