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.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Reliable and Easy to Use
I have always preferred wordperfect and quatropro to excel and I think the latest versions are small improvements on the old versions but probably have options that are valuable to a more sophisticated user. I just like the logical simplicity of the products and their ease of use and the modest price.

1 Star Even customer support couldn’t make this work
I have used WordPerfect products for nearly 20 years without any problems whatsoever. I bought WordPerfect X3 Student and Home Edition and loaded it. When I tried to run it, I kept getting a message that said that the software was not install correctly (no explanation about how or why). I downloaded the appropriate service packs and patches, but it still wouldn’t work. Several calls to customer support–all of whom were VERY RUDE–and several hours later, I still have no functioning WordPerfect. More than help, I got lectures about how all phone support was fee based. They tried to help a little, but none of their suggestions worked. I have paid nearly a hundred dollars for a software package that doesn’t even start. Learn from my mistake.

4 Stars Most of it works
A fun new twist on the classic Mousetrap game, but the pile of teacups seems to not fall over unless you drop two balls at once. Kind of a bummer since that stops the chain reaction deal cold.

5 Stars Still the best word processor
I have a 23 year history of using Word Perfect, having purchased 4.1, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 8.0, 9 and 10. However, when I recently purchased a new computer for the family, the manufacturer did not offer a pre-loaded Word Perfect, so we began using a competitor’s word processing product; everyone in the family is well versed in using the competitor’s product, so it was not an issue of unfamiliarity; that being said, my kids begged for a Vista-friendly version of Word Perfect to replace the competitor’s product on our home computer. This version was a no-hassle, quick installation on a Windows Vista-based (name brand) computer with an Intel Core Duo processor and one gigabyte of RAM. It has worked seamlessly with older Word Perfect files and also a competitor’s files, though this version did not convert the competitor’s latest version files. The only minor quirk in the installation was that the program would not autorun from a DVD-ROM drive, but it loaded perfectly from a DVD+R recordable drive. Installation was fast, and the kids have effortlessly picked up using new features on the lastest version of their favorite word processor. To give you an example of why I like this product . . .so many of it’s operations are so EASY to use. Often I can do formatting changes in one click that the competitor’s product requires three or four steps to do. This remains a solid product, and works fine on our Intel based machine running Vista. New features enhance what was already a solid product. Thank goodness for Corel and WordPerfect.
