User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars the premier word processor
This is the best word processor on the market today and has been for several years. No other product can compete with its intuitive commands and speed of execution. Just take a document and compare the hidden codes between Word and Word Perfect. For quick editing on the fly nothing comes close. If WP goes out of business, I’ll go back to writing long hand.

5 Stars Old Version, Great Value
This version of Word Perfect meets my needs. The program loaded without a problem. The price was fantastic. Thank you!

3 Stars Watch out for OEM versions
Be sure to check out your purchase. OEM versions do not have certain features that the full versions do, such as QuickFinder, manuals, customer support and cannot be used as an upgrade. So when you are reading all the wonderful stuff on this page be sure it applies to your specific purchase.

5 Stars WordPerfect X3
Is superior to MS Word, always has been. I’m a user since DOS versions.

5 Stars Installed just fine on a new Dell PC
Corel Office X3

The latest version of Corel Office (X4) costs three hundred dollars at local retailers, so I held out little hope that this dirt-cheap CD would actually install the X3 version on our new Dell PC. The CD includes a valid serial number that you must enter when installing the software, but there is also a warning label included which says:

“This CD-ROM is for use only by the End User in conjunction with their purchase of a PC or Peripheral with the product pre-installed. It is back up media to be used only for the reinstallation of the product on the PC or peripheral, if required.”

In spite of not having Corel Office (or any Corel products) on the Dell, the X3 software installed without issue. We now use WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, and Corel Presentations on that Dell PC. Don’t expect Corel to provide X3 technical support and don’t expect to download any patches, as you might with a full-priced retail version. Personally, I don’t consider those important issues.

I’ve been using Word and WordPerfect for years, and like them both, although our family likes Excel over Quattro Pro. No software is perfect, but the X3 version at least seems to have fixed some of the annoying “bugs” in Word Perfect 12. Since I wasn’t going to pay three hundred bucks for any office product, it was either this or a freeware office suite. I’m sure glad we got this one. Highly recommended as a terrific bargain.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars It does not compare with what I already have
By the way I returned the Home Edition, because I would prefer the standard edition.

4 Stars Always a good program
I have always liked WordPerfect better than word. My edition was getting old so I picked up this new one. It is a bit different but easy to navigate and has some great updates. I would recommend it for anyone needing lots or word processing.

3 Stars Word processor and spreadsheet OK
The best part of the whole program is WordPerfect word processor and Quattropro the spreadsheet. The rest of the program is not worth anthing. I loaded the complete program and then uninstalled everything except the above.

4 Stars Word Perfect is almost perfect
This version of WP is as good as its predecessors, and the conversion programs are better. Make it your default app for Word docs.

There is only one problem I have come across so far. If you set Select mode to WP 9, it is still buggy; it takes some effort to select the text you want. You can always set the mode to the earlier version.

1 Star Do not buy for serious business?
I have always used the other well-known office suites in the past but when I received an offer on this suite at a significant discount, I thought I would try it. I should mention I’m a doctoral student in the middle of a dissertation, so the challenge was to migrate important data and documents into WordPerfect and Quattro Pro. While I was able to get it done the Quattro Pro interface with SPSS, which had worked seemlessly with the other spreadsheet, failed horribly. Not to mention the complicated details of what should be simple document formatting–the Visual Basic Editor kept freezing or denying me access.

Invest in a better product if you have serious work. I’ve gone back to the benchmark office suite product.
