Corel WordPerfect Office Home & Student 2021 | Office Suite of Word Processor, Spreadsheets & Presentation Software [PC Disc]

I received Word Perfect and associate programs specifically to write a review. That said, I try to be honest and open in all my reviews.

This product requires some learning as different than the Microsoft Office products. I use Office 365 at work, it is so temperamental with explorer closing randomly in mid use as does the Excel and Access programs. I have definitely learned to save consistently. They came up with Share Point - repeated the same depth and naming conventions they did in the nineties with folders initially. Teams I have to close and re-open constantly. My team is not a Teams fan. Years ago - okay decades - I used to use WordPerfect in the work environment. I thought a better product back then so am going back to it on my new personal home use computer versus the one I use to VPN to work which I match to the work machine in theory hoping to not have compatibility conflicts. Been unhappy with Microsoft since they have gotten unstable and snoopy with the sharing across platforms. Guess what - I have not had random closures using WordPerfect. It is better priced. Less temperamental thus I am way happier. One downside I noticed on conversion is some date and time fields in Excel lost their formatting but once I converted from Excel to the WordPerfect product and back again it held. I even tried to talk my wife into switching but she was concerned about the learning curve. I can use in WordPerfect and convert to Office should I share with another. Yes, there is a learning curve but I am way happier. Go retro with a stabile product you own versus licensing that has to be renewed and you do not know what is going to break/change next. Their change is not always for the best. You do have a cost-effective stabile alternative to Office 365 - it is called WordPerfect Office.

There was no serial number for this product. Beware!

I was hoping that this office suite would enable me to replace Microsoft Office on one of my computers, but I was disappointed to find that there were too many issues importing Excel and PowerPoint files. Can this suite function on its own? Yes, it can, but its only advantage over MS Office lies in WordPerfect itself and its slightly lower cost (it does not require a subscription, either). WordPerfect offers more power in formatting than MS Word, as well as a visual display of the embedded formatting information with the Reveal Codes Pane. It can create fillable PDF forms, and according to a professional review I read, can handle very long documents (with multiple chapters for example) better than Word. Unfortunately WordPerfect doesnt seem to be as tightly integrated with Quattro Pro and Presentations as MS Office suite components are.

Had to reinstall a lot of things for my computer. My old disk for word perfect did not work. I had alot of word perfect notes that couldnt use. Bought this, easy to install, all my old documents opened up. No problem.

Hard to work with, did not live up to expectations.

ok

This is my 20th year of using this word software - couldnt live without it - only can is the use of (c) which always comes out as the copyright symbol - c within a circle. Other than that - great. Contacted Word Perfect about the con and they said nothing can be done about this glitch. Oh. Very fast help from the company so that was terrific.

I have used WordPerfect for over 20 years, and wouldnt even consider any other word processor, including Word.

My first word processing program on a PC Im the early 1980s was Word Perfect. The company moved to Word, so I reluctantly learned it.
