Beneath Corel’s rather consumer-oriented exterior, you’ll find software that easily handles the demands of small businesses and, in a few areas, exceeds the capabilities found in Microsoft Office.
The WordPerfect Office X3 suite comes with WordPerfect X3, a great word processor; Quattro Pro X3, a good spreadsheet; Presentations X3, an adequate presentation package and a few welcome additions. With its new PDF capabilities, Quattro Pro Crosstab feature and even stronger Microsoft compatibility and style, WordPerfect Office X3 makes an excellent choice for anyone looking for a less-expensive office application suite.
WordPerfect continues to offer built-in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) support so other people can view your documents without worrying about applications and fonts, something that Microsoft Office lacks. In this iteration, Quattro Pro and Presentations gain PDF publishing capabilities of their own, and in WordPerfect, the feature has been enhanced to convert table-of-content headings into PDF bookmarks — a convenience that makes for better navigation within published PDF documents.
Taking its capabilities even further, WordPerfect now lets you import PDF files and work with PDF-based text and images within the word processor — an innovative new feature.
A new “save without metadata” feature saves files and removes the underlying notes, edits and other information that can impact a company’s security. Another convenience, the programs now offer integrated Yahoo Search capabilities to quickly perform web searches. It’s a feature that lets you simply highlight a term or word in WordPerfect and immediately perform your search.
WordPerfect Mail now comes as part of Standard suite and manages the routing of documents for review.
Small business owners will love the Corel license flexibility that allows for an additional, free installation of the suite on a home computer or laptop. You no longer need to purchase a another copy for a second computer — a real money saver.
The lower-priced Home Edition includes: WordPerfect X3 and Quattro Pro X3, plus the more consumer-oriented Corel Photo Album 6 (a digital picture editor); Pinnacle Studio SE (a video-editing program). It also offers Norton Internet Security (with a paltry 90 days of updates) and a template pack.
Instead of simply playing catch up, Corel WordPerfect Office X3 — Standard Edition has added innovations that Microsoft isn’t matching, and its lower price makes it a worthy deal. There’s no better time to make the switch to WordPerfect Office. And current customers who want the enhanced PDF capabilities, the Quattro Pro Crosstab and security features will probably want to upgrade.
