Still, Corel's suite costs $100 less than Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003, and the Microsoft suite lacks an image editor and a security program.
WORDPERFECT X7 REVIEW TRIAL
We wish that Corel would provide more than a 90-day free trial of Norton Internet Security 2005 if you buy Norton separately, at retail, you'll get a one-year subscription. And Corel Presentations' dozens of wizards make it easy to create slide shows, although it has problems displaying Microsoft PowerPoint files accurately.
WORDPERFECT X7 REVIEW PRO
Quattro Pro offers all the data-organizing features you'll find in Excel, although some tools are named differently. We find WordPerfect 12 easier to use than Microsoft Word, especially for creating long documents or tweaking persnickety formatting. This suite's core applications are powerful and popular, including Corel's first-rate WordPerfect word processor, the Quattro Pro spreadsheet, and the Presentations business slide-show maker.
WORDPERFECT X7 REVIEW SOFTWARE
Several new components include the WordPerfect Mail e-mail client, formerly known as Bloomba Paint Shop Pro 9, an image editor that Corel acquired with its purchase of Jasc Software in 2004 and the Task Manager. The $349 WordPerfect Office 12 Small Business Edition is designed for businesses with 50 or fewer employees. Hopefully, Corel will merge OfficeReady and Task Manager in future versions of WordPerfect Office. This is simple but redundant this suite's task-based utility OfficeReady already offers dozens of templates for invoices, purchase orders, job estimates, brochures, and so on. When you select Business Plan Presentation on the Task Manager screen, for example, the appropriate template will load inside the Presentations app. The WordPerfect Office 12 suite also adds the new Task Manager, a job-oriented interface that provides templates for specific tasks. The Corel Small Business Edition adds WordPerfect Mail, a well-designed e-mail client with a familiar icons-and-toolbars layout that's painless to learn.
For instance, it can mimic the keystrokes, the menus, and the toolbars of Microsoft Office applications-handy for Microsoft Office converts.
WordPerfect Office 12 performs some clever interface tricks. The new Task Manager provides plenty of useful business templates-as does OfficeReady, another WordPerfect Office utility. But for a home or a small business, WordPerfect Office 12 Small Business Edition is an affordable, complete, and reliable productivity package. And since WordPerfect Office 12 does a poor job of importing Microsoft Office files, it's not a great choice for businesses already standardized on Microsoft's suite. We'd like to see better integration among this suite's applications, including the ability to use Paint Shop Pro's powerful image-editing tools inside a WordPerfect document. Even better, Small Business Edition is priced $100 less than the comparable, small-business version of Microsoft Office 2003 but offers more features.
The result is a powerful, feature-rich package with plenty of punch for small-business users. WordPerfect Office 12 Small Business Edition combines the core features of Corel's respected office suite- WordPerfect 12, Quattro Pro 12, Presentations 12, and Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005-with two new additions: WordPerfect Mail and Paint Shop Pro 9.
