WordPerfect...The best word processor, where you can maneuver the old or modern style

Reviewed 7 years ago

The biggest benefit offered by WordPerfect is the elimination of errors in the heavier documents, which in opportunities can be lost in other tools for the same market. in my experience WordPerfect helped me minimize work hours in the process of editing and controlling sequences of tables, images, figures, maps and other additional files of the printed work

Pros

In many cases, word processors generate errors due to their lack of compatibility with the regulations that must be applied to research documents. APA, Gost, ISO, Harvard standards, among others, come to complicate the completion of a work with more than 3000 thousand pages that include tables, graphics, images, appointments. Corel WordPerfect considers and shows the handling of this type of complications in a fluid way, in my experience I changed a month of text editing work for only two days. The cost of the software is quite competitive with the rest of the similar programs, it will not be very popular, but it is undoubtedly an excellent tool. Automatic management of margins for legal documents, Offers many options for focused texts such as stories, compatible with open writer and microsoft word, allows to export to pdf. They offer a download of the product for a month of testing, the software allows the change of the options menu to better suit the user's style. Sharepoint access to share products and allow simultaneous modification. If you have several sheets defined for the printed document, you can work with the adjustment option to adapt the size and layout of the font and the space between the lines, so that it does not exceed the number of sheets established.

Cons

the low popularity of corel products against the tools made by Microsoft is a point against WordPerfect, a finite universe of users appreciate it for the versatility it offers that places it above the performance shown by Office. The cost of the product is accessible for a number of considerable machines, for an individual user it is a bit expensive, the tool is focused on satisfying the requirements of companies, leaving aside the home market

Work Perfect, I never left you for Word.

Reviewed 10 months ago

It is cost effective. It is not difficult to learn.

Pros

I like that you buy WordPerfect and you don't need the constant upgrades. You buy a physical copy and install it. I have only had to upgrade WordPerfect 3x since I started using it in 1997.

Cons

The one thing I dislike is that more people do not use it.

Can't Beat the Price! You Get ALOT!

Reviewed 5 years ago

It a great alternative to the leader, but more expensive software. It offers all the features needed by most people. The form creater is worth the pricer alone, and so is the enhanced PDF support and abilities.

Pros

The price is great! Full features of the leading software. It offers better PDF support than Microsoft Office. The ability to save all work in various formats allow for compatibility with just about everything you use. Great text and font application to create nice looking forms, etc. Use the form creating feature a lot.

Cons

The user interface can be a little cluttered. It does hang sometimes and you may need to restart the computer in order to get a better performance.

WordPerfect the unbeatable market

Reviewed 4 years ago

It is an excellent alternative to similar software and to tell the truth, for 5 years that I use it, I find satisfaction. If there is anything to say in conclusion, it is that everyone should take a look. It is a fantastic tool.

Pros

I find the price great! It regeorge all the features of the main similar software. It offers better PDF support than Microsoft Office Word. It offers the possibility to save all the work in different formats, which allows for better compatibility. It is an excellent word processing software for creating beautiful documents

Cons

In my opinion, the UI can be a bit cluttered. It happens that this sometimes crashes and thus forces you to restart the computer to obtain better performance.

Very good program and product. Very affordable, compared to other systems of similar type.

Pros

Came pre-installed on new office computer, so didn't have to waste any time setting up a new system. Simple to use, straight-forward features. Easy to transfer documents to other file types.

Cons

Sometimes the basic features we not enough for a specific project, and the staff would have to use a different program.

Blows away Microsoft Office, All versions, for multiple reasons.

Reviewed 5 years ago

WordPerfect office, especially once becomes familiar with its powerful customization and programming options, offers powerful adaptability to so many different business and professional and business uses.

Pros

1. Far more powerful that Microsoft Office, all versions 2. Extremely customization using both built in and external programming options. 3. Far easier to troubleshoot problems, when something is not as expected, than Microsoft Office, all versions. 4. Vastly less expensive than Microsoft Office, all versions.

Cons

Few issues versus other choices. The only way in which Microsoft Office, all versions, was able to win the marketing wars was by controlling the operating system, offering low end versions of Microsoft Office on pre-assembled PCs combined with user unwillingness, laziness to ever compare Microsoft Office products with better alternative.

Wordperfect: built for typists

Reviewed 5 years ago

It handles all of my word processing needs. Only recently have I had problems with converting documents between different platforms, which it used to do exceedingly well. Otherwise, no complaints.

Pros

I primarily use Wordperfect Office as a word processor. It is perfect for anyone who is a typist, as opposed to accustomed to using control and function key shortcuts or mouse/touchpad or touch screen. It works well with all of those alternative input methods, but it really shines just with typing input. I have used it for almost 30 years through all of its revisions and upgrades and find it equally easy to use and functional.

Cons

It can be sometimes resistant to customizing but that is the only drawback I've ever found. The Office bundle used to be, I thought, unjustifiably expensive, but that no longer is the case.

WordPerfect Office Review

Reviewed a year ago

WordPerfect Office offers certain advantages, such as its special error tools and ability to work with a variety of file formats, but it also has some serious drawbacks. Users that value contemporary design, broad collaboration features, and a wide array in integration tools might not find it to be the best option. Before choosing whether WordPerfect Office is the best solution for daily needs, it is crucial to carefully assess each task and who needs to have it shared with them.

Pros

I have always been a big fan of the Word Program and have recently purchased the WordPerfect as an update. I liked the Word program but love the WordPerfect feature that shows the codes at the bottom of the page, so that you know how to correct errors or where to look it up. But that is about all.

Cons

I find it harder and harder to us the WordPerfect program only because at work we use Google and it integrates and shares so much easier than Word Perfect. Not to mention all my other colleagues are using google also and it is easier just to share the document.

WordPerfect Office

Reviewed 3 years ago

I’ve had an overall great experience with WordPerfect Office. It has been very easy for me to use, and I love the variety of features that it has. It is affordable, and always works effectively.

Pros

It has enhanced accessibility features, which gives you the opportunity to customize your workspace along with perform tasks more efficiently. I love that you can easily change the magnification levels, create custom toolbars, and assign shortcut keys. Additionally, the QuickWords feature is also super helpful for people that have reduced mobility. WordPerfect Office is also affordable, and I believe that it is easy to use. I also love that it has Microsoft Office compatibility, access to document stats, and built-in PDF functionality.

Cons

There’s nothing that I can think of. I would highly recommend WordPerfect Office to everyone!

Pros

WordPerfect is great for producing documents. It is really easy to apply styles throughout a document for consistency and professional looking results. The price is also reasonable for all the features you get.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve that occurs if you want to take advantage of the more advanced features. It also helps if you have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of MS Word as you can then master more of the advanced features quickly.

A worthy alternative

Reviewed 5 years ago

Although WordPerfect Office hasn't quite reached the same highs as other office productivity software, it's not hard to see why it's stuck around as long as it has.

Pros

This is definitely not 'the gold standard' of office suites, but it comes about as close as you could expect for the price.

Cons

Functionality is somewhat lacking compared to bigger, more established competitors although it's hard to criticise this overall.

Solid software, but wont replace word in the near future

Reviewed 6 years ago

If someone is on a tight budget and cant afford an office license, and that is in charge of writing repetitive documents then wordperfect might be the perfect software for you, otherwise I would definetly stick with word.

Pros

Something that wordperfect has on it's favor compared to microsoft word is how significantly cheaper it is compared to it, and for someone who is constantly writing repetitive documents I can really see the appeal since quick words will make your life easier

Cons

I don't see wordperfect as a replacement for word, it has fewer capabilities than microsoft software and if you are already running office then it is not worth it on getting this license.

I have always had a positive experience with WordPerfect Office. I look forward to seeing how they will advance this software with the changing standards of technology.

I really like how everything is set up with this software. The price of this software is budget friendly and it is helpful with any documents you need to type. I use this software for church mostly, but it is very helpful in keeping a document organized.

Cons

If you type something in Microsoft Word and transfer it to WordPerfect Office, the formatting may not look the same.
