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.

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.

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.

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.
