Considered Both Products
WordPerfect Office
Chose WordPerfect Office
OpenOffice is great because it is free. For people on a budget you can't beat it. No question that WordPerfect is the superior and more powerful product, but not an option for everyone. Oddly, OpenOffice seems more capable at working with Microsoft Office format than …
Chose WordPerfect Office
365 is an excellent integrated suite of programs; I just much prefer WordPerfect to Word. Unfortunately, most of the support programs for lawyers are designed to work with Word and not WordPerfect, which has prevented me from using litigation support software. I don't care …
Chose WordPerfect Office
The biggest drawback of WP Office is when using MS Office files. The more complex ones don't always format correctly. I prefer Quattro over Excel by a large margin. It has better tools and it is easier to use overall.
Chose WordPerfect Office
WP Office allows simple, intuitive document production with minimal training. NO STYLES REQUIRED! However, very powerful features are available if needed.
Chose WordPerfect Office
  • LibreOffice is free. It's hard to compete with that for a home user or fledgling business. It's not as polished or as powerful for word processing as WordPerfect Office, but wholly adequate for most users. The same holds for the other office applications.
  • Microsoft Office is …
Chose WordPerfect Office
WordPerfect is the ultimate word processing application allowing documents and manuals to be developed quickly. The issue, for the most part, is providing a document to the outside world since most people have Microsoft Office you will have a tough time.
Chose WordPerfect Office
WordPerfect Office is not a product like Blackbaud's products, but it does work very well with them. Merging documents from Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge is accomplished very easily through WordPerfect Office and allows better options in many cases than when merging with Microsoft …
Chose WordPerfect Office
WordPerfect and Microsoft Office are two very comparable programs. Word really is better than WordPerfect in every area other than the ultimate control over formating that WordPerfect gives you. If you are not converting documents that are 20 years old, Microsoft Office is the …
Chose WordPerfect Office
I have used Microsoft Office extensively as well as Google's suite of office products. I think that Microsoft is more versatile overall; from Powerpoint to Excel to Word, as well as Outlook, it has the whole office pretty much covered. WordPerfect is a very strong word …

WordPerfect itself is (IMHO) the best word processor available. Much easier to use (and I think, more intuitive) than Word. It can do things that Word struggles to do. That said, most of the world uses Word and improvements to the interchange functionality would allow it to be used in more situations. I realize that isn't easy - internally, the two products work differently and use very different data models

Corel still offers support. Microsoft doesn't unless you have a paid contract. LibreOffice is all web-based. If you need support, Corel WordPerfect Office is the best option.

WordPerfect Office is not a product like Blackbaud's products, but it does work very well with them. Merging documents from Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge is accomplished very easily through WordPerfect Office and allows better options in many cases than when merging with Microsoft Word. My main uses for WordPerfect Office have been in merging letters, envelopes, and labels and when searching with reveal codes for improper codes in a document.

Return on Investment
Alludo
  • My office wouldn't be able to make money at all if we didn't use WordPerfect; we use it to generate all of the documents that we use in our business. Granted, if we used Microsoft or another Office suite, we could eventually obtain the results we currently get, but we seem to have positioned our workflow around WordPerfect and to use something else would potentially hinder our productivity.
