What do you like best about WordPerfect?

I love the ease of use and the different functions is allows you to preform. It truly is multi use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"3.0 out of 5 starsWordPerfect Word Processor: Great. Included Spreadsheet QuattroPro: Not So Great."
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

The compatibility between Microsoft Word and WordPerfect seems to be exactly as advertised. All the other positive reviews of WordPerect itself are right on. I only wish the same were true of the advertised compatibility between the spreadsheet part of WordPerfect Office (QuattroPro) and Microsoft Excel.

My best recommendation: Use WordPerfect as a word processor but do not get rid of Microsoft Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

Corel tech support--only free for the first 30-days to deal with installation problems, is at the typical level of large software companies now--suggesting first some boilerplate advice, then concluding the problem must lie elsewhere. As a programmer since my first IBM 8088 in 1982, I've learned that when a PC works flawlessly before new software is installed and then develops a problem, it probably is not just a coincidence.

Whether or not QuattroPro will open a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet without crashing seems to be a completely random event. Even more worrisome is that after the crash (stops responding), the Excel spreadsheet is corrupted, although it sometimes is saved as a .tmp file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for composting official letters "
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

Everything is easily accessible and formatted to print and send out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

Under file, things you do use often are easy to see, but when it comes to opening a file that isn't used as often, sometimes it is a bit harder to find. I am not exactly the most tech savvy person though, so I suppose this could be easier for some people to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If it's not broken, don't fix it"
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

I love that ease of use I have with WP. Formatting, editing and creating documents is simple, straight forward and user friendly. I have found that other programs seem to add unnecessary steps to do the simplest of tasks. It seems with each software's newest version more and more tasks become cumbersome and inefficient. WP does not do that. Any new features are well thought out and contribute to the user friendliness we have come to expect from WP. For the features that work well, they leave them alone. That is the bottom line for me. Other companies should take note that users do not want software to be difficult. Although it creates the illusion of being cutting edge all it really does is waste time and inflate costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

Time needed to learn macros. There is really nothing else I dislike about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Antiquated, yet relevant. "
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

We use Word Perfect because it runs our macros well for generating pleadings and other documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

The formatting, ease of use, and pretty much everything about it. I'm in my late 20s and was taught using Microsoft Word. Trying to figure out Word Perfect is exceedingly difficult to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent and Easy to Use"
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

This program is really just as good as Word - intuitive and accessible. Much easier to format documents and to fix stuff than Word. Reveal Codes is an especially useful tool that Word can't even come close to matching. It's an easy install and also great for those other "MS" things - spreadsheets, labels, etc. It's easy for people to navigate and make their way around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

It's not as compatible as some other products. I have also heard - but not dealt with directly - that some users have difficulty installing on Windows 7, which is my preferred OS. There's always the concern by outside entities that we're not using the standard Word program. We had some initial issues with support - contact was difficult - but things were eventually sorted out. Also, the pale toolbars are sometimes very difficult to see - especially if the sun comes through the window late in the afternoon. Overall, though, my likes far outweighed the dislikes - this is an excellent product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for formatting documents, does what you want it to"
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

After using WordPerfect for some time I am always impressed by the ease of which documents can be formatted and made to look how you want. Compared to other mainstream word processing programmes WordPerfect is second to none for getting the ideal layout for your document.

The preview feature on the latest version is great for saving time instead of opening documents just to check for something.

Also the installation process was very quick and hassle free.

Great value! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

Would be good if documents could be saved as read only, a feature that seems to be missing.

Getting in touch for support was a lot more difficult than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"day to day use "
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

ease of use is great and surpasses Microsoft word in many areas like with the image tool. inserting photos and having them work well with the present text is much easier in this program. the shear amount of options many find daunting but if you are more of a developer kind of person who likes to tweak then this is the one for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

sometimes a bit limiting with the PDF export but great 90% of the time it mainly has issues with multiple sheets with a varying text/image content. I have found recently that this can be avoided by compressing the pictures but its not great for quality to have to do that each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making my presentations incredible each and every time"
What do you like best about WordPerfect?

This product works great for pdfs and allows me to create beautiful integrative presentations for my clients. The digital notebook is also an awesome part of this buy, but I use the slideshow creator the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPerfect?

Well I hate to be this person, but its expensive. I will also so I am a firm believe that you get what you pay for. So with that being said you pay a pretty penny but the innovative nature of the product makes it worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
