 Printer ProblemsJun 11, 2003
By strelaw
"strelaw"
I own both Wordperfect 9 and 11 and find that 9 is superior. Apparently in Wordperfect 11, Corel revamped the way the software interfaces with printers so all of the features of my printer (a new model Hewlet Packard Laserjet) do not work without going through several steps in the page setup. Further, Wordperfect 11 freezes up if one uses the latest printer drivers and only works with older versions of drivers. Plus, I bought the product with the understanding that it automatically converts batches of old wordperfect files. I have many documents in wordperfect 4.2 and 5.1. However, Wordperfect 11 does not convert batches of old files in 4.2 and 5.1. Other than above, the software is fine but you may as well stick to version 9 which is fabulous.

 No image preview in this versionSep 08, 2003
When I tried to insert an image into a document in WP 11 I got the error message "no viewer available." Several hours of repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling, and a phone call to Corel support later, I find out that this is NOT an error. WP used to include QuickView Plus, but Corel was not able to bundle it with WP 11. So there are no image viewers inside the program. If you work with images, beware!

 Most stable release in yearsMay 11, 2003
I've been using WordPerfect since the early Windows versions and this is the most stable release I've ever seen. They may not have added a long list of new features, but they tightened up and perfected the features that were already there. I don't need a lot of new features--I just want the features to work and I want the software to be stable.Not to say that there aren't significant new features. The Document Map feature alone is worth the upgrade. Not to mention the integration with MS Outlook (document tracking, address book) and improved XML capabilities. There is a new conversion utility that allows you to batch convert your files and don't forget that WP has the most comprehensive list of conversion filters on the market. They added the legal tools that were available in the Legal edition of WP8 - thank you Corel! And if you haven't used RealTime Preview, you haven't seen the coolest feature in the program. They expanded it in WP11 so it works in more places than ever. Take my word for it, once you've used it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. WP is the most cost-effective, easy-to-use, customizable word processor there is. Always was, always will be.

An excellent office softwareFeb 17, 2004
By Philip Zhao
I like the PDF publishing function, very straightforward. WordPerfect office offers all the tools I need and easy to manage. The most important part is WordPerfect office is fully compatible with MS Office and able to convert all the files, better than staroffice. Other capabilities, like XML and webpage editing, are powerful. BTW, it's cheap, compared to Micor$oft.

 Very Good, let's hope it gets betterApr 12, 2004

I've been using WordPerfect for several years now, and I am very happy with WPO11, Professional Edition. Anyone looking for a reasonably-priced office suite could do no better than WPO11, for now. That said, there are some problems, that I hope version 12 or later will address, especially the Publish to PDF feature. Feature for feature, WPO leaves M$ Office for dead, at a fraction of the cost. It has some problems, but is a MUCH better option than the market leader. Go for it!
