WordPerfect Office X4 Home & Student

It is easy 2 use & 4 a computer rookie like me it is perfect.

I've used WordPerfect 4 many years, starting with WP5.1 & have been very pleased with the features of this fine product. When I was eventually forced 2 switch from Windows XP 2 a Vista operating system I was disappointed 2 find my WordPerfect 12 would not install on the new computer. I decided 2 try WordPerfect Office X4 & I'm glad I did. WP X4 proved 2 be compatible with Vista & it installed easily. WP X4 had all the features & screens I with which I was familiar & some new features as well. The most interesting, & useful one, is the document manager feature which allows a document 2 be composed in WP, MS Word, or PDF formats. This is useful when creating a document that must be emailed 2 someone who does not have WordPerfect. Since WP X4 is backward compatible with previous versions, all my old .wpd documents are readable with this new version of WordPerfect. I am delighted with this software & I highly recommend it. It comes with a 3-user license making it attractive 2 those who have more than one computer in their household.

My wife & I have 4 computers at 2 addresses. We have exclusively used WordPerfect as a word processor 4 over 20 years. In the last year the different flavors of the software we have loaded became corrupted & very erratic. So we did some research & decided 2 try WordPerfect Home & Student Office X4 after trying Open Office & finding it did not do all the graphics & margin manipulation my wife does as a minister who creates her own church materials.

The package came in a very large, highly illustrated (Big Store) box measuring 9 1/2 inches long, 8 inches wide & nearly 2 inches thick. Inside there was another cardboard box 4 rigidity, but then only an install CD, a fonts/photos/gimmicks CD, a Training Video CD & a single sheet "freebie"ad 4 Stamps,com. In short, there was this huge box 4 just 3 CDs in white envelopes.

THERE WAS NO DOCUMENTATION OF ANY KIND save 4 fine print systems requirements on the outside box. There was no offer of support or a listing anywhere of an email address or telephone number 2 go 2 with questions about installing the suite with prior editions of WP already on your computer. Put in another way, the only guidance in the whole package was an instruction 2 "Put disk #1 in your CD-ROM drive." In much bigger letters on the outside of the package was a warning: "INSTALL ON UP TO 3 COMPUTERS." This was a big surprise as we have 4 computers & if the sales info on the Internet had mentioned a limited license we never would have bought it. We also would not have bought it if we knew the company would not show respect 2 their user base.

We still think WordPerfect features are the best on the market but also think it is very sad 2 find that Corel Corporation does an even worse job than Microsoft in respecting & being responsive 2 the reasonable needs of their customers.

Corel has improved their Office Suite with this new version X4. It no longer has the problems it once struggled with using VISTA operating system. It is easy & intuitive 2 work with & you can save files in MS Word 4 Windows format, or any other MS Office format. It comes with WordPerfect X4, Quatro X4 spreadsheet, Presentation X4, & Lightening X4 (kind of like Office OneNote, only easier.) At less than half the cost of MS how can you go wrong?

I have used WordPerfect in all its permutations since it came on 5 1/4" disks & had a blank blue screen. The lastest version continues the ease of use & power that I expect. The parts that are missing from the "professional" version are not really important 4 my needs & the price more than makes up 4 it.

Because I have 2 match with other people, I also use Word 2007, but WordPerfect continues 2 be the better product. Whenever I can, I use it instead of Word.
