"30 Day money back guarantee - fake advertising."
Version: Corel WordPerfect Office X6
Pros
Cheap. Installs well. Good if you do not need MS Word document conversion.
Cons
MS Word documents convert with a complete different format.
Docs created in WordPerfect and saved as MS Word will look very different when opened in MS Word.Summary
I am a small business owner and I have a fair number of MS Word docs accumulated until now. i have upgraded my main computer and instead of buying MS Office, i wanted to try (for monetary reasons) WordPerfect. I was a little comforted by the "30 Days Money back guarantee." Big mistake.
The program installed with no problem however, it become clear to me that the claim on "compatibility" between MS Word and WordPerfect is not true. Documents created with one will look completely different when opened with the other. For this reason, i have uninstalled the software next day and requested a refund.
Totally ignored by Corel. No answer to my request, no contact, and the most frustrating part, completely ignoring the posts on the open ticket.
There is no way to contact Corel in US or Canada via phone or email but you can take screen shots from the ticket page showing that you have done your best to contact them.
I will cancel the VISA payment and open a BBB complaint. -
"Backward compatibility missing"
Version: Corel WordPerfect Office X6
Pros
Usual WP features (reveal codes)
Cons
Bait and switch
Summary
X6 Professional doesn't work with Perfect Authority, a rather expensive program purchased just last year to create tables of authority in documents. They don't mention this in their sales material.

"WP IS STILL THE BEST BUT X6 ISN'T WORTH THE MONEY"
Version: Corel WordPerfect Office X6
Pros
WP is still the best word processing program on the market.
Great for legal documents.Cons
Constant document corruption.
No obvious difference between earlier versions of WP & X6.
Horrible customer support.
Way too expensive.
If someone comes out with a better word processing program, I will be first on line.Summary
I work in a law office. So, I am always working on very large documents. I am also working against the clock because of the court filing deadlines. I have been a WP user since it was a DOS program. I have never been impressed with Word (plus I don't want to contribute to MS's world monopoly). I still maintain that WP is the best word processing program for law offices.
My biggest complaint with ALL WP Office products is corrupted documents! I have tried every trick in the book & still, sooner or later, very close to a deadline, my document will become corrupted. I then lose/waste hours & hours trying to fix the document. I was occasionally getting corrupted documents with WPX5. So, when X6 came out, hoping X6 might finally fix the corrupted doc problem, I downloaded the trial version. I don't know why (nor do I care) but almost immediately, my documents became corrupted. It happened over & over again. Combined with the fact that I could see no difference between X5 & X6, I uninstalled X6 & went back to X5. Forget customer support. WP customer support is TERRIBLE.
Corrupted documents or not, I'll stick with WP. But, believe me, if someone comes out with a better word processing program, I'd give up WP in a minute. -
"Still the best suite for me"
Version: Corel WordPerfect Office X6
Pros
Compatibility to other suites and backward
Best control on wordprocessing document formatting
Better function set for spreadsheets
Built-in PDF supportCons
Not the "standard"
Summary
WordPerfect has all the tools you need and lets you control how everything is laid out. It doesn't "do" things for you that you cannot adjust. Still the best ouline numbering system going.
