You've got to be kidding [Posted on 2007-12-21]
Why would Corel advertise the ability to import Word documents when it is obviously untrue? Not a single Word 2003 document could be imported. What a disappointment! I still can't get past that to the rest of the Suite. I switched to Star office.

Quattro does not work as advertised [Posted on 2008-01-05]
The claims of smooth integration with Excel are inflated. The first Excel file I attempted to open caused Quattro to crash. Rebooted and tried again, same result. Tried to open a tab-delimited text file, crashed Quattro as well.

Tried to run quattro in both Excel mode and normal quattro mode, didn't make a difference, the excel file crashed quattro in either case. There was nothing special about the excel file (no VBA code, no formulas, etc.). It was a basic file with inventory data (name, quantity, SKU, etc.)

I have not been able to open a single non-Quattro document in Quattro. Don't waste your money if you are looking to use this with Excel files, CSV or text documents.

Online help isn't helpful. They don't seem to acknowledge the problem online (would clearly hinder efforts to sell if this appeared on their support site). So you are left to relying on their tech support which I have not been able to get a response from.

Word Perfect X3 is Perfect. [Posted on 2008-01-07]
Word Perfect is a great tool for PC it's easy to use and well integrated, you have go to Corel web site and download service packs 1 and 2 to make work with MS Vista, but their free , a great price, also down load from Corel free word perfect lightning, for a more complete WP ability.I would recommend to others to buy WPx3, and have and much more affordable than MS Office.

Miracle or Curse? [Posted on 2008-02-12]
If you are looking for surprises, then WordPerfect is for you! So is WordPerfect a miracle worker? You be the judge, I'm just writing this review...

Today, I was working on a proposal for offering dance classes at my local community center. A class, a description, a cost. I'm a smart girl (so I thought). After all, I've typed up my psych research papers in APA format plenty a times...in MSWord. My recent gift of a Dell computer from my parents only included WordPerfect so I'm giving it a go. This task oughtta be simple, right? Type, title, format, print, and go! 5 minutes tops! I didn't think to pray first. Here's what happened...

I centered my title. A few clicks on the text below to create a new paragraph. Okay. Good. While I'm creating my second paragraph, I click to type by the left paragraph line. Whoa! The text alignments moved without warning! Paragraph's back. Inconvenient? That happened over 25 times while writing my one page document...

Text formatting can be nothing less than a nightmare in WordPerfect. Or am I just too ingrained in the ease of MSWord?

Take cut and paste for example. I cut text from the top of my page,
attempted to move it to a lower portion of the page...

And voila! Tab settings changed, paragraph indents changed, margins changed, and it took me 10 minutes of fiddling around with the new settings to get the old back. Had I been transported into a movie scene? "We aren't in Kansas anymore, Toto!" I screamed at my cat after that 25th format .

Granted, WordPerfect has wisely and thankfully included that easy to use, blissful button. I've undone untold number of WordPerfect miracles. Now if only I could undo such unexpected miracles in my own life as easily... such as my current job hour loss due to budget cuts, creditors calls, looming debts. I'm currently accepting donations so I can purchase MSWord...
