WodPerfect 31 Jan 2011
For the price Amazon are selling this, this was a snip. Besides which, WordPerfect is superior to MS Office in so many ways - far more content and features for your money. Why do we follow MS Office like sheep?

software 27 July 2011
Disappointed.
The activation code was not valid (perhaps still being used by first user). Technically this is an illegal use of the software, although I am currently able to use it, I have no access to upgrades and support.

A great alternative to WORD 8 Aug 2005
By CeeTee - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Documents can saved in MS Word or WordPerfect format. You can even type your document in MS word mode if you wish. When you consider the $20 rebate it came with its quite a bargan as well. As for the reviewer that gave this product one star, there is usually a reason why a manufacturer lables it's product the HOME edition. Thats because Its ment to be used at HOME!! Don't blame the manufacturer for your lack of product research.

Great package 20 July 2005
By A Computer Guy - Published on Amazon.com
This is a great software package. Wordperfect is very nice. It writes and reads Microsoft Word documents as well as its own format. The same goes for QuatroPro/Excel. I really like the feature in WordPerfect that allows you to see the behind-the-scenes code in a Wordperfect document. If you've ever had MS Word do something really crazy with the formatting and you couldn't get it straightened out and finally had to cut/paste your text into a new document, the behind-the-scenes look at the code will allow you to spot exactly where the problem is and change it without the extra hassle. And if you think that's too much for you, try it out for a while with the code turned on(it appears at the bottom of the screen). You'll learn pretty quickly what WordPerfect uses to code your documents and be able to spot errors easily if they pop up.

The only thing additional thing I could want in an office suite is a scheduling email program and that arena belongs to Microsoft. However, Novell will be releasing Evolution for windows soon enough and it will compete(or attempt to compete) with Outlook. We'll see how it goes...

Meanwhile, the home edition is, in fact, labelled "home" edition and everyone should know to read the labels before buying anything.
Turn the light out and move over to MS Word. 21 Feb 2006
By Allan M. Gathercoal - Published on Amazon.com
When it comes to my affection for WordPerfect I feel like the "Motel 6" commercial where Tom Bodett closed the ad with, "We'll leave the light on for you" As a WordPerfect devotee, I have kept the light on for years, but now it's time to flip the switch.

This year I upgraded from WP 8.0 to 12.0. At first I was tempted to change but familiarity won out. I thought that in upgrading to 12.0 I would get serious improvements and easier use. NOT.

You are probably reading this because you have an earlier WP version, so I will not go into operating detail. I recently wrote a thesis paper with endnotes and found that the program could not change from letter to numbers once I started using letters to footnote. I had to go back manually and reset every endnote. Then the program continued to mark the footnotes incorrectly. When I sought help, I found that getting help was as problematic and quirky as the program.

There is no help by phone and the web page is as frustrating as the "help" in the program itself.

Almost 50% of the time the "help" in the program help does not "help" This should not be so. There are other glitches should not be in a program with this many years of production.

WordPerfect was once a great word processor, but today it can't contend with the monolithic Microsoft Word. Corel could have conceivably produced a product that gave Microsoft a run for its money, but they chose to tweak the program, adding a few more bells but no serious improvement for the average user. I could go on, but suffice it to say that if you're considering upgrading to WordPerfect12, don't. Sadly, after years of being a WordPerfect devotee I will do what Tom Bodett didn't - turn the light out and move over to MS Word. 1.5 stars
