Corel WordPerfect Office by Colorgirl

It is hard for me to review this, since I thought I was getting the Standard version of Office, and expecting fun things like the Ebook Editor which I knew I would use a lot. Instead I received the Home and Student Edition. That instead is a bare bones version of Office.

WHAT YOU GETnWord Perfect (works like previous version except perhaps a little faster)nQuattro Pro (works like previous version)nPresentationsnWord Perfect Lightning digital notebooknnYou also get fonts, dictionary, digital photos, templates, graphics, basic graphics editor, batch conversion from Word files, and training videos.

IS IT WORTH IT?nYes, this program works well for the price, although honestly, if you can afford the upgrade price of the Standard version or others, I would go for that instead. I really wanted the Ebook Editor, PDF creator, and some of the other cool features of the Standard version which is what I thought I had requested.

The program works well and seems to be a tiny bit faster than the previous X6 version. I am using this with Windows 7 64-bit.

This is great for general home use and student use who need basics which are a cut above super basic. It is a solid program so far, and despite my disappointment in the version I received, I still think it is decent for what you get.

I will edit this review as I continue to use the program if there are any other important points that I want to make if I find differences in the program from version X6. As it stands now from the time I have used it and played with it, it is quite similar to the previous version of this edition of Office, which I did use with very few problems. I got files to convert pretty easily from Word, and was able to save them in the proper file form as well, that others could read with Word.

I am giving this four stars, because I think that they should have added a simple Ebook editor and PDF capabilities to this edition like they have in the Standard. Many academic software versions come with the same as professional programs with a few small things left out sometimes just for a more reasonable price. I think they cut this one back a bit too far, but it still is decent for student use, but the price is a bit high, in my opinion for what you get (compared to the upgrade edition for standard.
