From Word Perfect to Word 2000

I've been using  Word Perfect and decided to switch to Word and Just the Tips Man proved invaluable in making the transition.  I'm hoping that a similar book comes out for Excel.  Thanks again for making my switch so much easier.

I used WordPerfect for years, then switched to MS Word because WordPerfect updates became so expensive and it didn't seem to work well on the newer computers. When I saw this opportunity to try it again I decided to see if it worked on my Windows 10 Surface 3. So glad I did. WordPerfect is so far superior to Word it is unbelievable. It is too bad that Microsoft has such marketing ability that they get the lion's share of business when there is a product that is so much better. If you are doing anything that involves a lot of graphics, or working with mailing lists and labels, WordPerfect is the only way to go. Once my trial was over, I purchased the full program...so glad to be back using WP!

Even though Microsoft Office 2003 is an older version, it still teaches and executes the necessary tasks easily and without complications. It's user friendly and explains every step for each course easily and professionally. If I can make sense out of it, anyone can.

The install was quick and easy. The transition from Office 2007 has not been difficult. There are some features/functions I haven't found yet. Word, Excel and PowerPoint seem to run faster. I haven't tried the other programs yet.

I was introduced to WP long before there was Windows or Word.  WP is command rather than mouse driven and far more efficient and elegant.

We use both word and WP in the office only because we need to communicate with other firms. I give our people  the choice of using word or WP for internal communications. Over the last decade or so most of the employees came to the company knowing only word. A requirement was that they learn enough WP to be proficient in both.

The outcome is that almost every employee scoffed at WP at first and then learned how elegant it is and in the end adopted it as the word processor of choice. My guess is that the output is 150% - 200% of word. Of equal importance is the vastly reduced probability that the word processing software will suddenly get an overwhelming desire to reformat your document, thus trashing hours of work.

Most of the senior partners at law firms acknowledge that the only converted to Word under duress, clients wanted documents in that format and new employees were raised on Word. Part of the problem is the the DOJ as part of the Microsoft antitrust settlement years ago let them pay their fine by giving free softward to schools .  It's like allowing a drug dealer to settle the case by giving free samples to the school kids.

If you frequently work with outlines it's even better.  Microsoft's random re-formats can  simply trash hours of work. After you go back to the prior save you are still under the threat of the random formatting monster.

If you do a lot of writing and are willing to learn more of the keystroke commands this is a great leap forward. The keystroke commands also reduce wear and tear on the wrist.

WordPerfect is, well, PERFECT.  Love the new version.  Been using WordPerfect since 1987.  It's everything a word processor should be and more.  Thanks, Corel Corp.

I'm a recent convert to the Mac and I was wanting a nice Home Office software package and this does the task very well. Word works wonderfully and has a much better format than it's PC counterparts. I don't know why a lot of reviews say that it is slow, because it works well on both my Intel Macs. It does seem a little sluggish on a old G4 that I acquired. Entourage is the only part that I don't use because it will not sync with Google calender, so I just use the MAIL feature of OS X. I like Word better than Pages 2008. I'm not a power user by any means, but for my purposes as a home user it works great.

I have used WordPerfect for many years, starting with Dos WP 5.1.  Most recently I had been using  Wordperfect 11, and was beginning to have (not sure why?) program errors and messages, closing spontaneously, screen freezing,  having to reboot frequently, print spooling delays, spell checker not working correctly, etc.  To my great relief, WP Office X5 Home installed within 5 minutes, and I was up and running with absolutely no problems at all. The program runs very smoothly and I've had no more delays. I appreciated the many reviews, and this helped me make the decision to go ahead and invest in the newer version.  I'm glad I did, and my workday is so much smoother.

While Microsoft Office will likely always be the most popular office software suite, Corel's WordPerfect Office X7 is a comprehensive office suite that does everything Microsoft Office does, and more. And with the improvements of this latest version of WordPerfect, Corel has, in my opinion, presented several compelling reasons to consider switching from Microsoft Office to WordPerfect Office X7.

In this version of WordPerfect, the two main things Corel has done is update the user interface, and address Microsoft Office file compatibility issues. Microsoft file compatibility was a huge issue if you wanted to use previous versions of WordPerfect, and, in fact, its previous inability to work with Microsoft files was a deal-breaker for me. However, you can now easily work with all Microsoft Office files. And now where WordPerfect even betters Microsoft Office is in its ability to create and edit pdf files. For me, this is a HUGE plus, and this ability alone is a good reason for you to consider using or switching to WordPerfect. However, another very big advantage to this WordPerfect version is it also includes an eBook publisher and CD/DVD burning software. Nice!

If you're not required to use Microsoft Office for work, I would definitely recommend using this WordPerfect suite instead. It does everything that Microsoft Office can do and significantly more. And at a better price! I really like this latest version of WordPerfect. It really is a terrific suite. I recommend it very highly and I'm quite certain that you'll like it, too.

If you have any questions about this software, please feel free to ask, and I'll do my very best to answer. I hope you found this review helpful.

I purchased Word 2007 as part of a total software package and purchased the book to help me get up to speed quickly on the many changes in Word since I was currently using Word 2000. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

My review is based solely on my experience with Microsoft Word, since I have not yet had occasion to use the other software. It is very well done!

An excellent book.  I learned things about Word that I never knew it could do. For one task that I do monthly I was using three different software packages.  I was amazed to discover that Word could do the work of all three packages and do a better job. I wish I would have had this book years ago.

I've been a fan of WordPerfect for years.  When I upgraded operating systems and computers to Windows 7 Home Premium, I upgraded my versions of Word Perfect.  Dollar for dollar, this little package is unbeatable.  I rate its installation, features, ease of use, 5 out of 5 stars.  Would I recommend it to others?  YES!

Corel's WordPerfect Office Productivity Pack is superb.

... not the only word processing application on Earth. I've used Word professionally for many years, and still do in the office but to be honest I can't see paying the price for Microsoft's behemoth Office at home. WordPerfect seems to handle my words just fine, it's a proven program and it's nice to be able to write and buy groceries at the same time.

excellent product. great definitions including genders and conjugations; very easy to use menu, intuitive. would be a 10 star if buttons and screen were a tad larger. i would pay a few extra bucks for that.

Perfect for crosswords and thesaurus. Since i love word games I was a little disappointed it couldn't unscramble words. It has a jumble game loaded but is no help on independent word jumbles. Other than that, a great tool.
