Corel WordPerfect Office by Cathy Stucker

I have been using WordPerfect since 1983. Although I use Microsoft Word at times, WordPerfect is still my word processor of choice. My primary reason for preferring WP over Word is that it is much easier to format documents and to fix stuff when it goes wrong.

I absolutely LOVE reveal codes. Nothing Word can do can make up for not having reveal codes. You can instantly see your settings and easily adjust any formatting.

The main reason to use Word is because everyone else uses it. The main reason to use WordPerfect is that it is the best word processor out there.

A few notes on WPX7:nnI installed it on a Win7 laptop. It took about five minutes to run the installation. I only installed WP and Lightning, not the spreadsheet and presentation programs, so it would take longer if you installed all of them. Everything worked immediately–no problems, no crashes, nothing.

The installation program will ask if you want to move settings from a previous WP installation to the new version and if you want to delete the old installation. It makes life easy when you upgrade.

The programs may be installed on up to three PCs.

The Home & Student version is a stripped-down version. It does not include a few features found in the Standard and Professional versions, such as the ability to edit PDFs, ebook creation software and disk burning software. It also does not include the Paradox database program that is only available in the Pro version.

I have been a huge WP fan for years, and this new version will keep our relationship going for a long time to come.
