Review by H. Wang

My 3 years old desktop is a Window 7 PC and it came with the free Microsoft Office starter package. The starter version has limited functions. I tried the free Open Office from Oracle, but it also missed some functions. I don’t want to spend that much money on a full-blown Microsoft office package. So, I come to the Corel WordPerfect Office X7. So far, I am pretty happy with it. The WordPerfect Office can take all the file formats generated from Microsoft Office. So, there is no compatibility issue. Also, WordPerfect Office allows me to save files in all kind of formats. I specifically like how easy to move margin in document with WordPerfect office.

The WordPerfect Office is fully PDF friendly. Not only I can save document in PDF form, I can also open a PDF file and edit it directly. I am a big fan for paperless office. I scan most of my documents into searchable (or editable) PDF files (not the image-based PDF file format.). I constantly find myself looking for efficient ways to edit PDF files. WordPerfect Office X7 meets my expectation on this with high scores.

By the way, this package is for one machine only. Though if you replace your computer with a new one, Corel allows you to install another copy to the new computer.

All in all, as an regular at-home user, I love the price and the features provided by Wordperfect Office. It’s a good value.
