    Word Perfect is the best home/office ever. I've used it a very long time because its so much better and easier to use than Microsoft Word. It was way to complicated, and I couldn'tseem to get anything done! I used Wordperfect at work for years, before I retired. I was so excited to find it at Best Buy. I highly recommend Word Perfect Home and Office. It's very user friendly. In my opinion you can't do any better software than Corel Wordperfect! Thank goodness Best Buy had Word Perfect in store (software) and they even installed it for me! Luke, the technician @ Total Teck, Best Buy, did a great job of getting me all setup. He was very helpful with any and all my questions, and was very kind and courteous. I couldn't be happier with the software, and the service technician. Luke was the best! I Love having Total Teck for my laptop, tablets, and appliances I've purchased at Best Buy, it's great to have. I highly Recommend Wordperfect and definitely give it 5 stars.

    I mostly made use of the WordPerfect 2021 and Quattro Pro 2021. As a person who use document and spreadsheet files moderately this is just perfect for my budget. I didn't have to get an expensive yearly subscription as I used to. I believe I made the right choice in switching to this product. It's similar to it's well-known and pricey competitor in terms of use but it has some differences too. Nothing a short easy research can accomplish. Makes my life easier!

    MS Office's Word had gotten weird. One had to jump through hoops just to get a new page for writing. With Word Perfect, it immediately pops and is ready for writing. It does everything better. The font selections are better, too.

    Tired of Microsoft pillaging the customer for yearly license fees. Last owned a WordPerfect software license over 20 years ago, missed using this vastly superior word processing software. Bought this software because it is more user friendly than MS Word, for example formatting a document is easier. WordPerfect allows the user to dictate the spacing, margins, ....,etc. Word keeps attempting to "fix" the format to fit what it thinks is correct. For years I tolerated Word because I used Excel extensively. Now retired, no longer need a powerful spreadsheet program, I can use Apple's Numbers for the few remaining spreadsheets that I keep up. Glad that I dropped Word and finally switched back to a much better product....Word Perfect. Added benefit: one time cost, not yearly fees.

    Great product. Superb word processing; intuitive, versus having to be a software engineer (e.g., MS Word). And Quattro Pro is a great spreadsheet program, and, again, more accessible than Excel. Highly recommended, by someone who has used Wordperfect since it was first available on micro-computers -- for my work as a lawyer and also as a writer.

    I am extremely disappointed with the purchase of Word Perfect (Corel) Home and School software. It has disabled ALL of the WordPerfect files which were on my computer. I cannot format a new document to have Columns/Rows (I do not want a Table). Previously created documents cannot be printed. I have a business creating and making greeting cards. ALL my files are disabled. Many incoming messages are in a Page Code and I have to read through as many as 4 pages to find 4 or 5 lines of information. When opening a file in Word Perfect I get the error message “Cannot Initialize.” I have contacted Corel directly, twice; followed their directions and all without a solution. At first I was upset. Now I am ANGRY. My rating for this product is 0 stars. I have happily used Word Perfect exclusively for over 30 years. This is certainly a game changer. Patricia A. Walsh
