What happened to Corel???
- Pros: some good ideas of what to do, but unfortunately they do not work!
- Cons: COREL CALCULATE
Looks and feels very much like MS Excel, yet with some added formulas in the toolbar that make it easier I suppose for those who are not familiar with writing functions. Can be saved to Corel Calculate, MS Excel, MS Excel 2007 or PDF format (Why the PDF?, I have no idea. .pdf files are not exactly desirable in most cases with a database that needs to be edited, and are often not accessible to blind or visually impaired persons' software either, but that depends on how the .pdf file is put together, the reader one is using and so on.)
"Insert" has some interesting features, such as inserting pivot table, shapes, pictures, objects; column, line, bar, area, scatter and "other types" of graphs; text boxes, "Text Art", insertion of character maps symbols, links, table of contents, hyperlinks, captions, Index Entry, Foot notes, etc. (Looks like a hybred of a .pdf maker and MS Excel basically.)
COREL SHOW and WRITE too many problems/crashes to list here!
- Other Thoughts: Get Open Office! If it doesn't have EVERYTHING you want it to have, then download the plug-ins to give it whatever you need! With the new Google OS coming out, and LINUX gaining ground VERY rapidly in offices, homes and schools, I'd spend the money on better hardware, NOT this!
Going into trash as I type this! Had on computer for about half an hour, and already taken off and going to the trash!
Tech support is in French!?! So guess Corel isn't from US anymore!?! We need US-made products that really work people!
X4 is Brand "X"
- Pros: None at this point. I'm in the dark about how to handle this "suite" or what I'll encounter when I load it.
- Cons: My wife and I have 4 computers at 2 addresses. We have exclusively used WordPerfect as a word processor for over 20 years. In the last year the different flavors of the software we have loaded became corrupted and very erratic. So we did some research and decided to try WordPerfect Home & Student Office X4 after trying Open Office and finding it did not do all the graphics and margin manipulation my wife does as a minister who creates her own church materials.
The package came in a very large, highly illustrated (Big Store) box measuring 9 1/2 inches long, 8 inches wide and nearly 2 inches thick. Inside there was another cardboard box for rigidity, but then only an install CD, a fonts/photos/gimmicks CD, a Training Video CD and a single sheet "freebie"ad for Stamps,com. In short, there was this huge box for just 3 CDs in white envelopes.
THERE WAS NO DOCUMENTATION OF ANY KIND save for fine print systems requirements on the outside box. There was no offer of support or a lis
