WordPerfect Office: Feature-laden & Cost Effective

Reviewed 3 years ago

I have been a WordPerfect Office user for 30 years! I use it fir outlining, creating PDF’s, spreadsheets and much more.

Pros

WordPerfect Office allows you to read multiple formats from other software products and gives you easy access to codes “under the hood.”

Cons

There simply is not any feature missing from this product. You can read and export to all common formats.

WordPerfect

Reviewed 3 years ago

It has a simple and good preinstalled software on new office computer.

Pros

This software is one that sets users up for excellence and success in an office environment because it offers all support and gives a visual breakdown of all team work and activities. It also helps to connect team members for collaborative work for the smooth running and effective organisation as one can create impressive document presentations and more. WordPerfect Office helps to streamline all duties and activities for maximum and brilliant productivity.

Cons

The fact that it is not available on the mobile applications put it at the risk of disadvantage.

All documentation purposes served

Reviewed 5 years ago

It is a great software to create professional looking documents.

Pros

Gives a formal and professional look to created documents. All the texts and images are perfectly aligned. Everything seems to be proportionate.

Cons

Nothing that I disliked about this software. I would easily prefer this over MS Office without any second thought.

WordPerfect Office

Reviewed 5 years ago

None

Pros

I am not a fan of wordperfect especially with so many other options available.Beyond that the software does function well and if you are accustomed to using it you will probably like it.

Cons

Honestly my biggest complaint is the installer. If someone does not pay close attention and uncheck certain boxes that are checked by default it will install a ton of in-necessary junk/malware on your computer. There are so many other choices both free and paid I can't see why anyone would purchase it.

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.

Love word perfect

Reviewed 6 years ago

best properties for making labels, much easier than word

Pros

Reveal codes. Makes it so much easier to find errors and fix them. You can easily locate the issue and change it just by looking through the reveal codes

Cons

compatibility, does not transition well with windows. I think that windows makes it incompatible with it because it wants you to use microsoft

I have used WordPerfect since the first version many years ago.

Reviewed 6 years ago

The ability to open different processing documents and modify them using the features available in the program.

Pros

I like the number of files that it can read. I also like the ability to modify any project that I am working on.

Cons

It takes so long to open on any system I have it installed. I understand that the features it offers may be the reason for this.

I have used this software since college and have been happy with its ease of use and functionality.

Reviewed 7 years ago

It is user-friendly in setting up a table of contents and list of authorities, as well as paginating a brief with multiple page numbering styles.

Pros

This data processing software allows the user to view the coding behind the scenes with the "reveal

Cons

The software lacks an editing tracking feature which would be very useful in document drafting collaboration.

Excellent Word Processor

Reviewed 5 years ago

I have used WordPerfect to create bulletins and newsletters. Now that we are moving to a Macintosh platform, I am moving to Microsoft Office. There are a lot of details that I will miss about WordPerfect.

Pros

WordPerfect has tons of formatting features. Being able to write Macros is a definite plus.

Cons

No longer available on the Macintosh platform.

Not My Favorite Anymore

Reviewed 5 years ago

As much as I personally would choose this Suite over Microsoft any day, it's not the one my school uses.

Pros

This suite of programs is easy to use and has everything that Microsoft has in their suite of programs.

Cons

Unfortunately, when I've used WordPerfect instead of other word processing programs, I've had some issues with formatting changing between programs.

Pretty good word processing

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall a decent word processor, but not my first choice.

Pros

Very easy to use and navigate. Has most of the necessary features that one needs for word processing.

Cons

The default file type that files save as will not always open easily in other programs and when other file types are opened in the program they don’t always convert properly.

WordPerfect vs Microsoft Word

Reviewed 4 years ago

On the whole, it's a good product. I just didn't need the whole package, just the word software. It's definitely a good choice compared to Microsoft's products.

Pros

It's almost like Microsoft word. The best part though, is that it is used offline. Not having to hook into the internet is fabulous for working on a story, article or novel.

Cons

There were some limiting features. Although, these were minor, it was enough to make me find another similar product, if there was one out there.

Easy to Use Word Processor

Reviewed 2 years ago

This software allows you to save your files in many different formats which is great for different integrations and uses

Pros

Easy to use PDF forms, reveal codes, and the redaction feature were the main selling points for why we chose this over google docs.

Cons

Has no ability to integrate with android so we can not access our files via mobile unless they are converted first to a PDF format.

Used to Use

Reviewed 5 years ago

I would not recommend it anymore, as it seems dated.

Pros

I used to use WordPerfect, and I think it maybe had more features than Microsoft Word, but I never really used those extra features.

Cons

It’s just not widely in use anymore, and it has a particular file type that others have trouble opening without WordPerfect.

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.

The gold standard

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, it's enjoyable

Pros

I've been using this since the 1990s in all its permutations and I love it. It's always easy to figure out what to do, how to format it and make beautiful documents.

Cons

It can be hard to insert tables in it at times.
