WordPerfect Office Reviews

I am not a fan of WordPerfect; I much prefer Word. However, some of my colleagues insist that they prefer WordPerfect. They like that the program shows the codes at the bottom of the screen, so that you have a line of code to review when the program starts doing something strange with formatting, etc. With Microsoft Word, it is often a mystery why strange formatting is being applied; at least with WordPerfect, the code at the bottom gives the user a clue (and the offending part of the code can simply be deleted to fix the issue).

Sometimes, when I type something and then click elsewhere on the page, the program interprets this as a command to delete what I've just written. This is beyond frustrating. Also, since everyone uses Word, it can be annoying to send WordPerfect documents to others via email; this process usually involves converting the documents to PDF to ensure they send correctly.

The feature I liked most about Wordperfect was how user friendly it was and once you finished your project you can easily save it.

There are several things that I didn't really like and they were how it wasnt wasy setting the tabs you wanted and there are not alot of computers etc. That will work with Wordperfect.

I like that you buy WordPerfect and you don't need the constant upgrades. You buy a physical copy and install it. I have only had to upgrade WordPerfect 3x since I started using it in 1997.

The one thing I dislike is that more people do not use it.

We love the ease of use for document management! It is so user-friendly!

We like all of it, it is easy to use. We use it a lot.

The reveal Codes are the best next to Insert feature. I also like the Change Case and Format features.

There isn't much I don't like as I have used Wordperfect almost since it came out in the late 70's.

The productivity is very useful and helps me keep track of the companys business

How so many windows pop up and makes it more complicated

I like how easy it is to use and all the various ways to personalize my program. Ex. I make my own task bar to fit my needs.

Most of my friends use Word so the conversion of tables to Word does not alway work perfectly.

When saving a document and wanting it to do auto save

WordPerfect office is great to use in a lot of settings. There are still some court systems that require the use of this program.

In a modern world, this program is becoming obsolete due to Microsoft Word.

I've got my docs translated in a reliable service, fast and affordable.

I have been using this software since it first appeared -- back in the DOS era of word processing . I love that it has a stable platform that doesn't run after the Microsoft innovations such as the @#$%*!! Ribbon (which I dispise mightly).

I love that I can design my own toolbars to specifical suit my needs, I'm not stuck with some software designer's idea about what I 'need.'

I love the capacity to see the underlying codes and always figure out why my page has some unwanted formatting, as an example.

I love the table of contents feature that can be configured to automatically generate a TOC -- with internal links.

PC Magazine claims that because Corel has not upgraded the page templates to someone's idea of what looks modern, that WordPerfect is not wonderful. They are wrong, I write everyday so I don't want to figure out how the software works everytime I upgrade to a new version. And, yes, I do have to migrate most of my work to MS Word but so what? WordPerfect will save as a Word docx.

It picks up gliches from time to time and stops working. So I close the program. But it has a retrieval feature that means I don't lose the work.

For some reason, the Ctrl-V paste function doesn't work but I think that's a Windows 10 issue.

Great features include reveal codes that make it easy to trouble-shoot formatting of documents. Intuitive commands.

Customer service. Once the program was sold to Corel, support went down the tubes. Can't answer questions, can't provide good feedback.

I like that it's pretty easy to use and learn. I'm younger (25-35 age range) and had never even heard of WordPerfect before getting my current job. I learned it in about a day and am now a pro in addition to knowing Word like that back of my hand (all of the bosses come to me w/ Word problems still).

It has macros, which are cool, but I still feel like Word is more advanced than any other word processor out there.

What I like most about WordPerfect is that it's a staple for law practices everywhere. Although some would say it's older and outdated for modern word processing, I would argue that it's in some ways better than Microsoft Word in that it's simplistic and provides the user more freedom to setup documents how they want it.

What I like least is that this software is a bit dated. It's still useful, however, it doesn't work well on Macs which our office is currently running on. You need to have a PC to run WordPerfect to its fullest.

WordPerfect is the easiest word processor to learn, to fix errors in, to make formatting changes in, and to make outlines and bullets in. I also use Word, and every time I do, I am reminded of what an inferior product Word is. We do a lot of legal documents with cross-referencing and outlines, and it is so much easier for me to fix those items when something breaks in WordPerfect than in Word that it isn't funny. Also, I can open Word documents in WordPerfect with no problem, and save documents into usable Word files with no problem, while Word doesn't want to let me open WordPerfect files.

That Word has managed to become the default just because Microsoft is the 800-pound gorilla of software.

For me WordPerfect has always been my preferred word processing program. I much prefer it over MS Word, I think it is designed better and more user friendly and intuitive. I have used it for over 20+ years now, and will continue to use it even as the world migrates to Word.

Pretty much every time you exit the program a pop up ad appears, wanting you to buy the latest version of the program at a discounted rate. Even when you click the button to disable the pop up, it still appears and is a bit annoying except now it is just expected.

a good software very functional and intuitive easy to use and necessary to create documents. i like very much.

I do not like the cost of it being sold but it could be a little cheaper to be accessible to everyone.
