5 out of 5 stars Better than Microsoft   May 21, 2010
Bob (Wallingford, CT)
19 out of 19 found this review helpful

I have been using WordPerfect since version 4.2. Unlike MS, the older versions can still open files created by the newer ones. It is much more intuitive than MS Word, and also easier to set up and configure.

The reveal codes feature has been there forever, which makes formatting a document a breeze.


5 out of 5 stars Compatability at last with Microsoft, yet flexibility beyond it   June 19, 2010
John L Murphy (Los Angeles)
20 out of 22 found this review helpful

As a longtime PC user of WP, it's been frustrating to keep it at home; my work uses Microsoft. My PC had only WP installed, while my work ones have only Microsoft. This new version allows compatibility, a feature my old WP lacked. It also integrates Sharepoint and Thunderbird e-mail functions that Microsoft favors; it works with Microsoft Word 2007 also to convert files. (I am not sure how it works with Vista, as I do not have that program, but it does get along with Windows 7 and XP-- but I suspect not lower-level Microsoft versions if these still lurk on your PC.) It can be used on up to three PCs; I assume it can be deactivated from one and put on another if necessary?

The WP update does not look much different than Microsoft Word. A glance at it running looks about the same as its competitor. Yet, I have always favored my older WP for its simpler "feel," and its lack of forcing you into limits that a Microsoft word processor or program seems to do for me. I rely on a computer more for basic functions, so some of those in either WP or Microsoft might elude my awareness. Still, I like wide varieties of fonts (900 True Type, many non-Western), clip art, and the Pocket Oxford Dictionary (on a separate disk here).

The tutorial disk shows you the basics; PDF features for creating compatibly viewed files promise wide application, as does Quatro spreadsheet and editing of presentation slides (Power Point compatible, but somehow these files seem to offer wider variety than PP for options). Similarly, the Lightning feature, although not one I'd personally need, may be welcome for those wanting to work across programs that are Microsoft-based while extending the flexibility that WP provides. A

I welcome competition for Microsoft. I always feel forced into it at work and favor the choices in the marketplace. So, I am happy I can now fit my home documents into my work ones at last. Familiarity should show some more discoveries, and I may enter these into an updated review. Based on a first encounter with the new version of WP, as before I tend to find WP less restrictive and more welcoming than its ubiquitous rival.


5 out of 5 stars My review on WP Office X5   May 30, 2010
Ronald Gunnestad (Norway)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

Those who programmed WordPerfect have always understood one thing, and that is the point with a wordprocessor on a computer instead of a typewriter in the first place. It goes faster to work with WordPerfect than any other wordprocessors I have used like MS Word and Open Office.


5 out of 5 stars worked great   July 15, 2010
Brett Farrell (Cape May, NJ USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I was quite used to using my MSword2003 and was a bit afraid of tryng anything new but I was glad I did. Now whenever I download stuff off the internet I can always read it with out it coming up in a mess of random symbols and boxes. This did not happen all the time but now it never happens. Plus writing things for work goes a lot more smoothly. For anyone who thought that MSword was just fine, you must try this to see how much better it can be.


5 out of 5 stars An office-suite that's hard to beat. WordPerfect X5 for Home & Student: A Critical Review.   July 7, 2010
Andre Lawrence (Miami, Florida)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R313NYSMWX52QY Recently, I was discussing the merits of softwares that we use whether Windows, Mac or both. The discussion then turned to a company that I've had a surprising change of heart about, namely, Corel.

Corel, as many of us know, has made a dramatic turn around recently and, like WinZip 14.5, their office suite "WordPerfect X5 for Home & Student" is another dynamic software that, in my opinion, is not one that anyone should overlook. It is a legitimate alternative to Microsoft Office and the "free" alternatives I spoke about when reviewing MS Office 2008.

* Features
** Comparing WordPerfect X5 to MS Office and OpenOffice
***Cost
*** Conclusion

* Corel's WordPerfect X5 office suite for home and students is a tremendous value that is even suitable for most "big" businesses that don't need the accouterments of the professional version. Included are the four basic class of office software:

WORDPERFECT (for word processing, letterheads, brochures, etc.)
QUATTRO (for spreadsheets, home/ business budgets/ personal data entry)
PRESENTATIONS (for slideshows and displays)
LIGHTNING (for digital note taking, misc cut/ paste features, screen-capture)

Plus...
900 True Type Fonts
8000 clip art images
200 templates
175 digital photos
The Pocket Oxford English Dictionary
Address book and contact manager
"WordPerfect Office Ready" browser
Presentation graphics (a drawing application)
Plus training videos on the 3rd cd.

Before I get to comparing similar suites, there's also something that should be noted that is not listed in the brochure but is remarkable about this package.

1. You can not only open Microsoft Office programs like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, but you can MAKE a MS Office Word file, a MS Office Excel file, a MS Office Powerpoint file. You have the choice to create, or open or save a file from Corel's suite, (ie WordPerfect, Quattro, Presentation or Lightning) or MS's suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel), but you have the option of saving any of those file types in any of 80 different formats including:

AmiPro
Lotus 1-2-3
Word for Windows 1.0 through MS Office 2007 (including 2003)
OfficeWriter
RTF
WordStar
XYWriter

2. Price. This Office suite is more comparable to MS Office Business edition than it is to its "Home and Student" edition. And, we're talking about 1/3 of the price. (We'll get to specifics in a moment)

OpenOffice 3.2 Free


**** There isn't another full-service office suite that offers more than Corel's WordPerfect X5 for Home/ Student. If there's a downside it may be that it is Windows-based only. Unless, of course, you have a virtual software like VMWare Fusion. Considering all that's offered here, with much more tools for the buck,

Corel's WordPerfect X5 for Home or Student is far superior to MS Office 2010 for Home Student. 5 very big stars.
