Review by Alyssa A. Lappen

One colleague in particular has long relied entirely on WordPerfect for her writing. Until recently, it’s been a royal pain. WordPerfect was very difficult to translate into Microsoft Word which, like it or not, is the industry standard for written documents. This Corel Home Office software solves that problem by making the WordPerfect software, at last, easily convertible into Word. Voila.

Beyond that, it can also serve as a stand-in for Microsoft Office software — especially if you are not interested in paying the outlandish Microsoft prices, and prefer to avoid the open source OpenOffice software developed by Sun Microsystems.

A nice piece of software, very reasonably priced.
