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

Works well with older versions of Wordperfect

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

NO‼️IT WOULD NOT INSTALL‼️

My reason for trying out Wordperfect Office was purely financial. I am sick and tired of Microsoft demanding yearly subscriptions for software that we used to be able to buy outright with a lifetime license. The last time I used wordperfect was nearly 2 decades ago and I hoped that the differences between the two would be minimal. As a home user who mostly uses email, word processing and the occasional desktop publishing software, this suite has everything I would need. However, Microsoft Office and Corel Wordperfect Office now have very significant differences and I have had a very hard time trying to transition to the software. Not all my microsoft files open easily and, when I am sent a word attachment in email, word perfect seems to lose the formatting details. There are many things to like about the software. The ability to see all your formatting code is great if you are working with a document and cant figure out why the formatting is doing weird things. All the tools you need are in the suite, the only issue is learning how to use them. So, a lot of learning to do and some annoyance when converting documents from other software, but a really good program nevertheless.

Ive used both Word Perfect and Word. Both have their selling points, but I much prefer Word Perfect . . . especially the reveal codes option.

For decades, in the word processing game, its been Word or WordPerfect. Where WordPerfect does everything in a utilitarian manner, Word does so in a stylized manner. For years, most people who chose WordPerfect did so for a few reasons: 1. Its cheaper 2. It enables more customization. For example, altering issues related to compatibility. 3. They worked in the legal profession. 4. They worked with long forms a lot. 5. They worked with a lot of old files. 6. They simply disliked Word. Word has always been and will likely always be the more streamlined, stylish word processing suite. In all the years Ive used WordPerfect, Ive never considered it stylish, but rather utilitarian. So, why buy WordPerfect over Word? 1. One time cost. Everything you need is included in WordPerfect. Yes, there will be new editions, but as long as your system is relatively current, youll be able to use a specific suite for many years, with no issues. On the other hand, Word has moved to a subscription model. So, over time, WordPerfect is going to be cheaper. 2. You need to alter documents to be compatible. Word can do this, but its easier to isolate the issue(s) on WordPerfect and make alterations. 3. Youre used to WordPerfect. Usually, people have a preference. If youre accustomed to WordPerfect, Word seems very out of place. 4. Youre a home user. If youre a home user, you dont have to worry with being in the ecosystem so to speak. As I mentioned above, its cheaper to own WordPerfect. Also, WordPerfect does nearly every meaningful thing that Word does, it just does it in a more simplified, less stylish manner. So, WordPerfect is perfect for home users. 5. If you simply dislike Word. Look, Im not going to post a review that goes on and on with the miniscule differences between the two programs. All that matters is the following: 1. WordPerfect is cheaper 2. WordPerfect can do everything Word can do. 3. Word is more stylish and easier to use(for beginners). 4. WordPerfect enables a little more customization of various aspects, like issues with compatibility and making alterations. 5. Word is far and away the most popular of the two and most anyone you deal with on a regular basis, will be on Word. In the end, I chose to review WordPerfect because I simply wanted both Word and and updated version of WordPerfect. I enjoy both and use both regularly. Both are wonderful programs. Choose WordPerfect if you want a cheaper option for the long-term. Choose Word if everyone around you uses Word, you dont mind a subscription, and you prefer a more stylized, easier processing suite to use. Recommended 4 stars Cheers!

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.

What I need is word processor software, and what I dont want to do is to pay a monthly/yearly subscription for it, hence why I went with Wordperfect. It doesnt have all the features that MS Word does, and it is an adjustment format-wise to get used to everything, but it does every bit as well for word processing as MS Word and will save a lot of money over the span of several years. The only thing I really dont like about it is that it doesnt work with Grammarly, which I like to use when writing. Overall though, for the price, I think it is excellent software if you need a solid word processing.

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.

My husband has an older computer without a good word processor or other office tools. The Corel Word Perfect was easy to download. There is a CD and a web site. The disc did not work but the website had easy steps for downloading. There are other office applications with this too such as a slide power point and a spreadsheet application. I found the WP application easy to use. It had all the fonts I would expect although I did not find Helvetica but Times New Roman was there, and that is the font he tends to use. You can easily add tables into documents. Formatting was easy too. The spelling was fine but not the grammar section. MS word is better. All the tools are user friendly. Footnotes and endnotes were simple to insert also. I would state that with the exception of the grammar tool this is a very good office suite.
