Corel WordPerfect Law Office 2000

Summary: Concurring opinion
Review: I also run a small law office. After some research, I agree that the new version of the office suite and Corel Word Perfect is not worth the bucks. First of all, a more dependable word processor would be appreciated. Though WP has some great features, it tends to crash. There is NOTHING WORSE when you are on a deadline with the court. Further, the software manufacturer should remember that this is a very cost conscious group to whom they're pitching the product.

Summary: Corel's Mr. Freeze-up
Review: I manage a small law office, and have been using Corel WordPerfect as our standard word processing since v.4.2. The current version is not much of an improvement. Although some of the anscillary programs intergrate some useful features into WP, most of the "extras" are somewhat worthless. The calendaring program does not integrate with any other calendaring program, so it is impossible to share calendars with any other program or anyone else using a different program (or WP for that matter). But for the basic WordPerfect word-processing system, we have chosen to use other programs for spreadsheets (Excel), calendering (Outlook). We have Word installed on our system, and it appears to be a far more flexible and integratable system. All in all, WordPerfect 2000 Law Office is not worth the price.
