- We use WordPerfect Office throughout our organization as the primary Office Suite. As a word processing application, it is unparalleled. Microsoft Word is slightly better for group editing, but that feature is less important in our use than the formatting capability WordPerfect Office offers. It borders on being a desktop publishing application. The other "suite" members are less impressive but fully adequate. Quattro Pro as a spreadsheet has some features that Excel lacks, but Excel's dominance in the market is hard to ignore if you are exchanging files with users outside the company.
- An often-overlooked advantage of WordPerfect Office is its relative security. Viruses and Malware go for the low hanging fruit making Microsoft Office files the primary target. We once had a user unleash Malware on our network that encrypted several files, but did not touch any of our Corel files.
- I'm a fairly advanced user and float between Corel (WordPerfect Office), Microsoft Office, and Libre Office. I find each has particular strengths and weaknesses, but overall after decades of use, if I had to give up all but one suite, WordPerfect Office is the one I'd keep.
- Desktop Publishing
- Document Templates and Projects
- File Security
- Quattro Pro, wholly adequate, but beginning to lag Excel
- No integrated eMail program.
- Database (does anyone use these anymore) hasn't been updated in years.
- More difficult to find potential employees familiar with WordPerfect Office.
- Less costly than Microsoft Office and the file formats haven't changed in years, making it easier to use old documents without reformatting.
- 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 the 600-pound gorilla with a dominant market share. Overall, I prefer WordPerfect Office, but in a connected world, it's necessary to exchange files with others, and those others are probably using Microsoft Office.
WordPerfect Office provides an alternative to Microsoft Office using one of the best word processing application. The ability to get a clear document without a lot of the Microsoft Word issues simply is amazing. Simple to use and simple to learn.
- Built-in publishing to PDF, that supports hyperlinks and watermarks.
- Real-time previews of formatting options.
- The Variables feature allows a variable or placeholder to be placed in multiple locations in a document.
- Quattro Pro needs to be improved over Microsoft Excel.
- Paradox Database has not been updated in the past 9 years.
- Presentations works but not as well as PowerPoint.
- Dealing with outside clients that may not have WordPerfect.
- Interfacing with Microsoft products.
- Some of the software needs to be updated..
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.

WordPerfect - the perfect alternative to Microsoft
We use WP as our primary software. We word-process all documents, charts, etc. We store other file types in the various folders and directories as it pertains to our clients.
- "Reveal codes" is very powerful to figure out formatting glitches.
- Sometimes converting for MS Word corrupts the formatting and cannot be used.
- On the newest version, if you open a document from the computer explorer, it opens a whole new program, instead of just opening a new document as in previous versions, so it makes toggling more difficult.
- There is still a WYSIWYG glitch where sometimes a line does not appear on the screen, but it is definitely there.
- Easy to train new employees.
- Flexible and customizable.
Prefer WP to MS Word.

WordPerfect Office merges made easy!
I am using WordPerfect Office for several functions. My main use is for merging of letters, envelopes, and labels. I export data from Raiser's Edge into a WordPerfect merge file for the merges. I find WordPerfect much more intuitive than Microsoft Word for merging.
- WordPerfect Office makes merging documents very simple and I can do more elaborate merges easily.
- WordPerfect Office's reveal codes is a major plus! I have used it so many times to find extra coding in a document that is creating problems.
- WordPerfect Office could use the option of opening and converting files that were created in Microsoft Word easier.
- Being able to cut and paste documents from Microsoft Word to WordPerfect Office would be very helpful.
- WordPerfect Office has saved me a lot of time when merging solicitation letters, etc.
- WordPerfect Office has allowed me to find improper codes in large documents quickly and easily.
- Raiser's Edge NXT and Blackbaud Online Express
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.
