Don't waste your money... [Posted on 2007-03-22]
WordPerfect Office 12 is junk. You're better off caughing up a little more jack and getting Microsoft Office or using Wordpad or even an Etch-A-Scetch. Even trying to format an outline I am finding to be impossible. QuatroPro isn't so bad, but WordPerfect is a turd and complete waste of money.
Word imPerfect [Posted on 2007-05-25]
I had never even heard of this laughable software until I was forced to use it because it was the default word processor at my office. I quickly encountered bug after bug. Even the simplest tasks like inserting images is problem oriented. In one instance, I tried to convert an image file to several different formats and when that didn't work, looked up help for it and the Corel supported solution to it was to do changes to the computer registry! Are you freaking kidding me?!
Being able to pull the margins on the sides of documents is incredibly annoying because it is so easy to accidently change when placing a cursor at the left margin.
The text on the screen in wordperfect never looks right for some reason. I often have to double check if there is a space between two words or letters because things just don't display right in this processor. It's amazing how different text looks when you copy it out of wordperfect and place it into word. It acutally looks like it does when you print it! Amazing concept!
I constantly encounter missspelled words or punctuation mistakes that it never picks up. It doesn't underline spacing problems or punctuation mistakes like having two periods next to each other. The list really does go on.
The one thing I hear supporters of this junk say they like about it is the 'reveal codes' feature, which lets you see a long string of computer jibberish at the bottom of the document that is supposed to show you all the formatting codes that have been done to the document. Why would you want that? Isn't the ultimate goal of any computer application to be WYSIWYG? There is a reason that there are so many applications out for website creation now that let you bypass all of the html coding.

I have used this program for years and love its WYSWYG approach. Now I use WP 11. Word is also a very good program but fails to add the essectial Reveal Codes, which I cannot do without. Why Word will not or cannot add RC is beyond me. Obviousley it is not that easy or they would have done so by now.
Don't bother [Posted on 2008-06-13]
I purchased this program because I had lost my WordPerfect 6 when I reformated my hard drive. The program disk for WordPerfect 6 was broken. I can't use this WordPerfect 12. It doesn't print booklets like the WordPerfect 6. I don't know if it's this particular program (defective) or what, but I'm sorry I spent the money. No directions came with it. It says on the disk that it is intended for use on a preinstalled computer??? Hum, I wonder if it is a legal copy?

Corel WordPerfect Office 12
I started using WordPerfect in the olden days before Windows, and I have used it ever since--upgrading over time, but 12's crashing is pitiful. So now I will not upgrade to the latest because I no longer trust it and meanwhile--at last--Word has improved. It's not perfect, but WordPefect is no longer perfect.
