WordPerfect Office X3 Standard [OLD VERSION]

This is the best word processor on the market today and has been for several years. No other product can compete with its intuitive commands and speed of execution. Just take a document and compare the hidden codes between Word and Word Perfect. For quick editing on the fly nothing comes close. If WP goes out of business, I'll go back to writing long hand.

This version of Word Perfect meets my needs. The program loaded without a problem. The price was fantastic. Thank you!

Be sure to check out your purchase. OEM versions do not have certain features that the full versions do, such as QuickFinder, manuals, customer support and cannot be used as an upgrade. So when you are reading all the wonderful stuff on this page be sure it applies to your specific purchase.

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...

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.
