![]() ![]() Verdict WordPerfect Office 12 SBE is a solid Office alternative, with the price you pay for it - swimming against the current being the first of many minor concessions. ![]() ![]() For example, I missed Word's Reviewing toolbar, which lets me see or hide the changes made by the various people who worked on the file - WordPerfect's Review Document feature works only for files created in that program. The suite will be sold in Standard and Professional versions. Today, the vast majority of businesses use Microsoft Office, but Word Perfect hasn’t been completely phased out. The latest version of the Corel WordPerfect Office productivity software suite will debut. Word Perfect was, for a very long time, the gold standard in word processing software for business purposes. I managed to switch from my standard Office apps to their WordPerfect equivalents with only a few hiccups. This is what happened in the case of Corel’s Word Perfect. However, even if your company standardises on WordPerfect Office 12, you'll eventually have to work with files - created by someone using Office - that have lost some functionality. That isn't to say the Corel program fails to provide all the features you need to operate a small business - including a host of OfficeReady templates for business management and planning. Even with Corel's assurances of app-by-app compatibility with Office and the addition of the great Bloomba e-mail client (rechristened WordPerfect Mail) and the Paint Shop Pro 9 image editor, I found that forgetting Office was not easy. The answer depends on how willing you are to leave behind what you know. But is a $150 saving enough incentive to make the switch? Corel is betting on that with its $599 WordPerfect Office 12 Small Business Edition, which it touts as a low-cost suite alternative to the market leader, Microsoft's $749 Office 2003 Small Business Edition. No one appreciates saving money more than small-business owners.
