Corel WordPerfect Office 2020 Standard | Word Processor, Spreadsheets, Presentations | Newsletters, Labels, Envelopes, Reports, Fillable PDF Forms, eBooks [PC Disc] [Old Version]

I just wish they made it for Mac as well. I do wonder about the Pro version, which also has some kind of database management function, but this Standard version is what i have always used. As word processing software, it is simply better than Word, as it gives you more control.

I love this program which I have used for years.

I like the COREL WORD PERFECT OFFICE STANDARD 2020 Computer program for the seamless installation and setup. There were no issues in the process. The Corel program was supplied with a DVD and includes option for Download had I not an available disk drive. Inserted the disk, started the disk drive and from that point forward the Word Perfect Wizard Installed the program onto my (Win Pro) computer. I answered Yes to the licensing agreement, put in the 28 digit Alpha Numeric Serial number ( including the - ). When I clicked the Finish box the option was presented for online tutorials. The program is full office suite for every thing I do for home, office consulting, BETA authors review plus the Vine Reviews. There is Word Processing including spell checker with preset forms. Note taker. Ebook publisher. Spreadsheet. Create slideshows and other type presentations. Photo editing. Per the manufacturer sales material the program has 900+ fonts, 10,000 Clip Art, 300+ templates, Oxford Dictionary. During the Install/ Setup process the program did not ask for registration. However, on the initial use of the program a popup window ask for an email for Registration. Within a minute or two the confirmation of registration is received and I then could assign a Password to the Registration. There is an Option to receive (or not) additional Materials from Corel. I am very pleased with the installation process and the capability of the program. Recommended Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Star

This software is an excellent set of programs. They are a great replacement for the MS programs. They work pretty much the same. You can do a whole lot more with WordPerfect than you can with the free options out there. Its very much worth the money.

I have been out of school for quite some time now, and my need to super compatibility with Microsoft Office has diminished. That said, I havent yet encountered anything this office suite cant handle. I have this installed on a second PC that needed an office suite. You get equivalents for Word, Access, and Powerpoint. Additionally, AfterShot, WordPerfect eBook Publisher, and Lightning (for notes) are included. Corel continues its everything but the kitchen sink approach when competing with Microsoft. Overall, I am happy with this software. It takes some getting used to sometimes, but it is solid nonetheless.

Personally I would pick Word and Excel over this. The problem is that Word started requiring a monthly fee, which is really frustrating. This program does not charge monthly but has a one time purchase price. It also includes a PDF function, a spreadsheet function and it can handle PowerPoint slides. So it can save you a lot of money in the long run, but honestly each of those original programs is more extensive and easier to use than this. This program does the basics for word processing, and handles Word created documents. Word is easier to get used to than this, but if youre looking to save money, in the long run, this will work.

WordPerfect Office Standard 2020 comes with a DVD for installation. I needed an Office Suite for my HP laptop. For the most part, I type simple documents. I have Microsoft Word on my other computers. I rarely open PowerPoint and Excel, but I will write a few words about their counterparts. Any documents created on Quattro Pro (excel) and Presentations (powerpoint) are transferrable to a Word document, once on Word the graphs, documents, you can continue working on them. Some of the content listed on the box, the extra clip-on images, eBook Publisher, and the photo editing, known as AfterShot, are add-ons. I haven’t located the eBook Publisher-customer service wasn’t able to help me. I did add on the photo editing, AfterShot sent me to a YouTube for instructions. I was impressed with sectional editing of images, certain objects or backgrounds and the history that remembers steps allowing you to backtrack to a specific procedure without starting over. There are plenty of tutorials included for the different programs. Most of the programs are comparable to Microsoft Word. The Pocket Oxford English Dictionary is included. My test word is ‘barmbrack’ which the dictionary did not have. For twenty-five dollars the Oxford Concise Dictionary is offered as an upgrade. Rather than chance that barmbrack isn’t in the Concise Dictionary, I can go online or ask my phone for definitions for words not listed in the Pocket OED. Without being a user of several of the programs offered, I can’t comparatively say what distinguishes this from other Office Suites.

So let me start by saying that 30 years ago, when WordPerfect was one of the standard word processors, I really didn’t care much for the Microsoft variant. But time has gone by and while the latter made “huge” improvements it feels that WordPerfect didn’t quite keep pace. It joined the Corel family some time ago, which we can attribute the fact to that it even is still alive, but improvements are on a much slower pace than the venerable CorelDraw product line. One major issue with Corel software is the installer they’ve been distributing for a few years now. On my computer it simply will open a window but not install the program. Corel’s help blog shows quite a few folks with the same problem and to this date the only “solution” is a workaround to create another user account on the same computer ans install it for all from there. To be sure, Corel software is the only one out of a plethora of applications that has this problem. It should be easy to fix that, but it still requires the workaround to even install updates. So WordPerfect is the word processor as mentioned, and it sure does work and does a few things well. However, the interface simply feels outdated (not just compared to banner/tab design of mentioned competition). The icons really need a face lift and there is no real option for tablet mode (for fingers). Although it does have a Microsoft Word Interface options, that’s only the icons and associated commands, and not the banner. Overall, I really wanted to like it as I have fond memories for times long gone, but nostalgia really lost to what feels like an outdated program. Presentations shares a similar fate as WordPerfect, although within the suite it’s at least consistent. It won’t keep you from making good presentations, but it does feel less supportive in getting there. If you’re a MS PowerPoint user, it’s fairly difficult to get around and work with Presentations. Quattro looks as if it’s in the same category, but it’s probably the star of the Suite by sheer functionality. It’s still a spreadsheet, and many add ons require Excel while not supporting Quattro. It’s still fairly powerful and the nature of the program makes the somewhat clunky less of a problem. Overall, this suite is fully functional and does not keep you from doing great work. It does, however, make you life relatively hard if you’re used to the Microsoft environment. Even if your starting out, some functionality isn’t very streamlined.

While I understand the reason behind Microsoft’s going to a subscription model for Office, I’m simply sick of having so many different pieces of software that require a subscription in order for me to use them. I had used WordPerfect many years ago and when I saw how this version of WordPerfect had support for 60 file types I decided it was time for me to give it a try again. As someone who has worked exclusively within the Office Suite for many years there are some differences but they are minor and didn’t take long for me to figure out. Corel knows users are more familiar with the Office software so they have worked to make this as intuitive as possible without violating any copyright. The one area where this software really lags behind Office is in spreadsheets. Depending on how often you use this type of thing that would be something to consider. Since I don’t use it too frequently, although I do a bit, I’ve made it work with effort. In terms of the word processing program which is what I primarily use, it’s excellent and I have no complaints. Use is straightforward, easy to figure out, quick to find what you need, lots of built in templates and best of all - no ongoing subscription fee to pay! I’ve been very satisfied with this product after using it for the last couple of months and have recommended it to several friends as I will to you as well.

I would probably love the product but the printed label with the activation code has 1 digit on it that can NOT be read. Would love to find a way to get this corrected.
