WordPerfect...The best word processor, where you can maneuver the old or modern style
The biggest benefit offered by WordPerfect is the elimination of errors in the heavier documents, which in opportunities can be lost in other tools for the same market. in my experience WordPerfect helped me minimize work hours in the process of editing and controlling sequences of tables, images, figures, maps and other additional files of the printed work
PROSIn many cases, word processors generate errors due to their lack of compatibility with the regulations that must be applied to research documents. APA, Gost, ISO, Harvard standards, among others, come to complicate the completion of a work with more than 3000 thousand pages that include tables, graphics, images, appointments. Corel WordPerfect considers and shows the handling of this type of complications in a fluid way, in my experience I changed a month of text editing work for only two days. The cost of the software is quite competitive with the rest of the similar programs, it will not be very popular, but it is undoubtedly an excellent tool. Automatic management of margins for legal documents, Offers many options for focused texts such as stories, compatible with open writer and microsoft word, allows to export to pdf. They offer a download of the product for a month of testing, the software allows the change of the options menu to better suit the user's style. Sharepoint access to share products and allow simultaneous modification. If you have several sheets defined for the printed document, you can work with the adjustment option to adapt the size and layout of the font and the space between the lines, so that it does not exceed the number of sheets established.
CONSthe low popularity of corel products against the tools made by Microsoft is a point against WordPerfect, a finite universe of users appreciate it for the versatility it offers that places it above the performance shown by Office. The cost of the product is accessible for a number of considerable machines, for an individual user it is a bit expensive, the tool is focused on satisfying the requirements of companies, leaving aside the home market

Best Program
I use only WordPerfect. I don't even have Microsoft Office on any of my devices. I certainly love the pdf format so I can send any attachment for others to open.
PROSThe reveal Codes are the best next to Insert feature. I also like the Change Case and Format features.
CONSThere isn't much I don't like as I have used Wordperfect almost since it came out in the late 70's.
Reason for choosing WordPerfect Office
WordPerfect is superior to any of the other programs so why would I change?

Used to be a fabulous product, and now are not as dependable.
I'm a professional engineer and have used WordPerfect/QuatroPro since 1991. I have depended on these products to create masterful documents with complex computational tables which have greatly simplified my work. 20 years ago WordPerfect made frequent improvements in their product. I've stopped using these products because they constantly crash, are arduous to get WP Tables to work well. It now takes much longer due to program glitches and frequent lockups, to get tables to work as they did before. I swore I'd never move to Word and Excel, but I've had to in order to get better performance then WP/QP. I'm done with Corel altogether.
PROS25 years ago I liked that WP kept improving their engine and add-ons. They ran flawlessly.
CONSWP is no longer smooth as it was and I sense no efforts to improve dwindling performance. They advertise the "Improved" WP upgrades but dont list a single improvement, because there arent' any.

WordPerfect if better than Word
I've use the WP word processing program for more than 30 years. It has so many more features than Word and, I can do many things using it than Word.
PROSI like how easy it is to use and all the various ways to personalize my program. Ex. I make my own task bar to fit my needs.
CONSMost of my friends use Word so the conversion of tables to Word does not alway work perfectly.

Work Perfect, I never left you for Word.
It is cost effective. It is not difficult to learn.
PROSI like that you buy WordPerfect and you don't need the constant upgrades. You buy a physical copy and install it. I have only had to upgrade WordPerfect 3x since I started using it in 1997.
CONSThe one thing I dislike is that more people do not use it.

Just as easy as Word, but less bells and whistles
I like that it's pretty easy to use and learn. I'm younger (25-35 age range) and had never even heard of WordPerfect before getting my current job. I learned it in about a day and am now a pro in addition to knowing Word like that back of my hand (all of the bosses come to me w/ Word problems still).
CONSIt has macros, which are cool, but I still feel like Word is more advanced than any other word processor out there.

Can't Beat the Price! You Get ALOT!
It a great alternative to the leader, but more expensive software. It offers all the features needed by most people. The form creater is worth the pricer alone, and so is the enhanced PDF support and abilities.
PROSThe price is great! Full features of the leading software. It offers better PDF support than Microsoft Office. The ability to save all work in various formats allow for compatibility with just about everything you use. Great text and font application to create nice looking forms, etc. Use the form creating feature a lot.
CONSThe user interface can be a little cluttered. It does hang sometimes and you may need to restart the computer in order to get a better performance.

Possibly the best Office Suite as long as you don't need international languages
For years I relied only on WordPerfect and found all other tools to be clumsy and unwieldy in comparison. No other office suite offered a "reveal codes" feature that allows users to adjust, with precision, the formatting on a document. Nor did any offer the time saving "Make-It-Fit" feature. But as I began to write and receive an increasing number of documents in other languages, particularly Unicode CJK character sets, the limitations of WordPerfect forced me to largely stop using it. For anyone who only works in European language character sets/fonts, then look no further than WordPerfect.
PROSWordPerfect is the only office suite to offer a "Reveal Codes" feature that allows the user to see precisely how documents are formatted and adjust the formatting parameters to achieve precise results. WordPerfect is the only word processor to offer the brilliant "Make-It-Fit" feature that will automatically adjust documents, which extend by one or two lines to the next page, to fit onto one page. I often have documents that should be one page, but extend onto two pages. Or documents that I want to fit on 4 pages are slightly too long. The "Make-It-Fit" button will adjust the margins, font size, and line spacing, to force the text into the smaller space. The user can modify all adjustments. WordPerfect has had this feature since the 1990s and it seems incredulous that none of the other office suites have created a similar immensely useful too.
CONSIn my opinion, the only flaw in WordPerfect is its inability to handle Unicode character sets and double-byte characters (ie Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, etc). On several occasions, I wrote to Corel, the developers of WordPerfect, to request that WP be altered to handle Unicode character sets and double-byte characters. Their reluctance to include this key feature mystifies me. Many people around the world must work in multiple languages using non-Western type fonts (Unicode character sets).
Reason for choosing WordPerfect Office
For many years, WordPerfect was indeed perfect. I used it exclusively and found all other tools to be clumsy in comparison. For many users, it will be an excellent choice as your primary office suite.

WordPerfect the unbeatable market
It is an excellent alternative to similar software and to tell the truth, for 5 years that I use it, I find satisfaction. If there is anything to say in conclusion, it is that everyone should take a look. It is a fantastic tool.
PROSI find the price great! It regeorge all the features of the main similar software. It offers better PDF support than Microsoft Office Word. It offers the possibility to save all the work in different formats, which allows for better compatibility. It is an excellent word processing software for creating beautiful documents
CONSIn my opinion, the UI can be a bit cluttered. It happens that this sometimes crashes and thus forces you to restart the computer to obtain better performance.
Reasons for switching to WordPerfect Office
Microsoft Office Word did not give me such flexibility to work. When it comes to software, what I'm looking for is ease of use and with WordPerfect, I feel good

From 5.25" Floopy Disk To DVD Disk!
Used WP for years, did some personal things to assist me in work areas. Did finally work for a City organization that used WP (thankfully not Microsoft Word - I finally bought it along the way as so many used it - egads, compared to WP it stunk!) Helped out once at work one night, straightened out some things that were messed up - did get a letter of commendation for that.
PROSWhen I first started using it - back in '90 or '91, can't quite remember - I found it interesting, and after 2 or 3 months I decided to take a night course for it, thought I might pick up a few things, and I did; felt I knew even more from the class. Final exam for the class (assume it was set up by the Corel). Getting right through it, saw the teacher talking to 2 or 3 or so classmates, then she came over to me; asked me about one of the questions, if I got it. Told her I was then she wanted me to show here, I did, she thanked me - then came the moment she told the rest of the class. Got our 'grade card' not too many day after that. First time in my life I ever took a course and got an A+....If I had to put a BEST label on something then it would be for Reveal Codes, unreal.
CONSActually, thinking back, can't really say there was something I didn't like.

Outstanding Product but Suffers from MicroSoft's Dominance
As time went on, WordPerfect and Corel lost market share and place to MicroSoft Office. Continually changing formats to be able to share documents stripped much of the superior functionality from the product. Finally, I gave up and bowed to the pressure to assimilate.
PROSI loved using WordPerfect and the keyboard shortcuts to handle formatting at the character level. I found from the very start that WordPerfect had a richer feature set than Word.
CONSHaving to save files as a different format to trade with and then collaborate with clients became a sore spot.
Reason for choosing WordPerfect Office
I found WordPerfect the superior product by a long, long stretch.

Wordperfect Office Alternative to MS Office
I have been using Wordperfect and Quattro Pro (the main suite programs) since the early 80's and have chosen to stay with this platform because of their ease of use and robust features.
PROSFull featured office suite. Wordperfect is superior to MS Word and I find Quattro Pro much easier to use than Excel and it's graphing and charting better than Excel's.
CONSThere is not a smart phone app to at least view the documents created with suite in the field, away from a connected computer.
Reason for choosing WordPerfect Office
More robust applications and familiarity with the WordPerfect Suite.

I’ve had an overall great experience with WordPerfect Office. It has been very easy for me to use, and I love the variety of features that it has. It is affordable, and always works effectively.
PROSIt has enhanced accessibility features, which gives you the opportunity to customize your workspace along with perform tasks more efficiently.

Additionally, the QuickWords feature is also super helpful for people that have reduced mobility. WordPerfect Office is also affordable, and I believe that it is easy to use.
