Rating: Summary: Can' Figure It Out Review: Although I was able to use this software on my old computer, when I tried to install it on my new computer the serial number I had already used on the old computer was rejected on the new one. I was able to install one CD out of four without keying in the serial number. I emailed Corel.com and they were of no help even though I'm registered with them. So I say, the heck with it. I'll continue using my Microsoft wordprocessing software.
Rating: Summary: Always liked WordPerfect Review: Always liked WordPerfect and the packaging in this group is great.Had been looking for virus software anyway and when I saw the rebates offered on this suite thought I couldn't lose. Gave it only 4 stars because manual is lame. Only limited info included and that is mostly for WordPerfect. One warning tho', be careful when installing the McAfee. If you are a Windows 98 user you might run into some trouble especially if you have an older version already installed. (I had a demo/temp version that came with my computer.) Haven't looked, but McAfee customer service said there were instructions on installing this under those conditions on their web site. This bug will cause your machine to not boot properly; so make sure you visit the site first. Fix was straightforward and the rep was very knowlegdable and easy to talk to. Haven't had any trouble since then. Wouldn't let this stop me from buying the Family Pack or installing the McAfee. Haven't sent in the rebates yet, but it is a shame that to get a decent manual to use with WP or Quatro it will cost more than the all of the software included in the pack.
Rating: Summary: Can' Figure It Out Review: Corel claims this product contains WP10. The version is not the same as that shipped with its office products. It is slow. Generation of pdf files brings a 1.2 GHz, 512 MB mem system to its knees. It hangs while printing. Patches are not apparent on the Corel web site.

Rating: Summary: Worth Every Penny - 100% Review: Honestly, if you do not have this software product in your collection, you are missing out a lot of great stuff here. The value that you are getting for your money here is worth every penny. From wordprocessing to photoediting I think this is 100% better than Microsoft Works Suite, the value appears in terms of more software and even hardware, I do not see anywhere in Microsofts Works where you are getting a headset, and Avery publishing software is truly exceptional I have version one of that software (it came with Office 97 Pro) and does every thing perfect, creating list, business cards etc imagine what you could do with this new version. Photo-editing software is satisfactory, its no Photoshop but it does get the job done. Lets not forget, Dragon Naturally speaking an excellent Voice Recognition software, it really takes the hassle from those who hate to type, one thing to remember, to get the best results from Dragon you have to practice, so that it can get use to your voice. You are also getting tons of Clipart, what else can I say but this product is better than MS Works Suite and is worth the [price]. Buy it you won't regret it.
Rating: Summary: Rebates Review: I bought WP Family Pack 3 and it seems ok. However, I have never received my money from the rebate back. Just be careful...
Rating: Summary: This is perfect for everyone in the house! Review: I needed software that everyone could enjoy and use in the house. I was more than pleased with Family Pack 4, which helped us write reports, create posters, labels, everything.We even have had a lot of fun using the talking (I think it is called Natural Speaking) feature. I recommend this package, you will get multiple use of it.
Rating: Summary: Great Deal Review: I purchased this a few weeks ago with rebates as an incentive. The programs are great, and Dragon Speak is awesome. I had heard some bad things about it, but it has worked well for me. All in all, a MUST BUY!!!
