WordPerfect Office X5 Editor's Review

It is quite natural for majority of Windows based computer users to think of Microsoft Office for all office productivity tasks. It is the software a majority of PC users use all over the world. However, that does not mean there are no other capable suites that you can use. If you want a capable office suite for lesser price and do not like freeware alternatives like OpenOffice, take a look at Corel’s offering, namely WordPerfect Office. It stands out in the crowd of MS Office alternatives simply because Corel has designed it in a way not to mimic the popular Microsoft app. While it is priced less than the segment leader, WordPerfect Office does not skimp on features and functionality.

System requirements of WordPerfect Office are rather modest and you can get smooth performance unless your PC is really old. It supports Windows XP with SP3 and later editions in both 64 and 32 bit variants. The installation is not tedious either and does not need much time.

In this version of WordPerfect Office, Corel team has stuffed feature that address needs of business users very well. The suite is compatible with SharePoint servers for example. It can use web browser for viewing documents on server. Perhaps the biggest highlight of this version is the inclusion of integrated "Reference Center", which is basically the help system. It is undoubtedly a better approach than Microsoft’s online and cluttered help system.

WordPerfect offers you a word-processor, Quattro Pro spreadsheet and Presentations graphics editor and slideshow maker. Users also get goodies like WordPerfect Lightning, not a direct contender to Microsoft's OneNote, Nuance PaperPort SE 12 and Mozilla’s e-mail client Thunderbird in slightly tweaked form. In professional version, you get Paradox database as well as a SDK while Student edition skips SharePoint support. Corel offers plenty of options to choose a working interface that suits you. You may choose an interface resembling MS Office’s older versions.

When you are switching to a new app from the tried and tested one aka MS office, it makes sense to know how the new suite fares in various aspects when compared with the other. Presentations and Quattro Pro are quite capable tools beyond any doubt. They resemble PowerPoint and Excel quite closely and so the learning curve for new users is likely to be minimal. However, WordPerfect word processor may seem more capable to heavy users when compared to Microsoft Word and this can be a compelling reason to choose the suite. When it comes to formatting lengthy or multi-chapter documents, WordPerfect clearly outclasses MS Word. WordPerfect's capability to save printer properties with a document is an example. Formatting woes are lesser with Corel’s Word processor.

As far as compatibility with MS Office goes, WordPerfect Office will not leave you grudging. There is no denying the reality a huge number of computers users will use MS Word, including professional setups. So, your WordPerfect spreadsheet and documents need to be compatible with their apps. WordPerfect Office lets you open Word 2007 files and save in that format without hassle. The same thing is true about Presentations and Quattro Pro. Corel’s suite can also import PDF files as well as convert them to documents you can edit. However, this converter may not be very effective when you open complex and heavy PDF files.

WordPerfect's ability to download information from a Web server is new but Microsoft Office had it for long. However, Corel still trumps Microsoft by adding the capability to import data directly in WordPerfect table via a wizard-style interface. As for Tables, WordPerfect fares better than Word. Lightning has some interesting features that may be useful for a section of users. It can be used as screen capture app. Using it, you can view WordPerfect and Microsoft Word files without requiring to open the apps. However, it still does not automatically detect links dragged from web pages as live links.

WordPerfect still misses out some really useful features that you find in Microsoft suite. The lack of a live word count feature is one such example. Word’s split document view also makes it win some brownie points. Thunderbird mail client integration is only partial in the Corel suite which may annoy demanding users. Thunderbird lags behind Outlook in Microsoft Exchange support.

Positive Points:
 -  Low system requirement, easy learning curve.
 -  Excellent MS Office compatibility.
 -  SharePoint support with online data import.
 -  PDF conversion app included.

Negative Points:
 -  Still lacks some basic Word features.
 -  PDF conversion is not always perfect.
 -  Lacks integrated email client.

Conclusion:
Corel’s feature rich and intuitive Office suite does come with many advantages as well as a few glaring drawbacks. The app is not resource hungry and is easy to learn. Its Word processor can outperform MS Word in most tasks. The spreadsheet and presentation tools are also quite useful. Business users will love decent PDF support and table options are also better than that of MS Office. However, it is not an app that will appeal to all segments of users. Netbook and laptop users have freeware alternatives like Google docs while Open Source fans will embrace OpenOffice which is quite a capable app. WordPerfect Office suits business users especially those who want top notch formatting controls and do not want to buy a third party PDF tool. Corel still needs to improve email client integration and include some basic features present in MS Office for long.

Rating: 4/5
