WordPerfect

The Corel WordPerfect Office X8 software package is an all-in-one office suite that includes a word processor for creating documents, a presentation tool, a digital notebook, a photo editor, and a spreadsheet creation tool. The suite of software includes built-in support for PDF files that allows you to make, edit and share PDFs. WordPerfect is compatible with over 60 other types of file formats, including Microsoft Office files, to make collaboration and sharing files easy. The software helps all kinds of offices worker quicker and smarter with workflow improvements and time-saving tips. Review: WordPerfect Office X8 provides unique and enhanced features to increase productivity in an office setting. The software suite includes all of the same tools you get from Microsoft Office. The word processor is an improved version of the traditional Microsoft Word, with a ton of productivity tools to make the most of your time. The word processing software gives you more customization options and more stability, while providing unique features, such as redaction of documents and support for eBook creation. However, the WordPerfect versions of Excel and Powerpoint, Quattro Pro and Presentations, are not up to the standards of their Microsoft counterparts. The other downside of using WordPerfect is its lack of support for cloud capabilities. The software does support sharing files using SharePoint, but does not allow for collaborative editing of files. Although the software is able to support over 60 file types, the compatibility with Microsoft Office files is sometimes unreliable. Overall, the WordPerfect Office X8 is a great choice for anyone currently using a free office suite, or any users of previous versions of WordPerfect.

Too complicated for the average user. We need a family car -- not a bus. Word Perfect 5.2 was good and WP (9?) Can you make a simpler version available and not 5.1?
