        Corel
        Draw 9 Office is really the corporate “keystone” software bundle
        that allows users to communicate efficiently and easily with its great
        features. There are some weak points such as the limited web
        integration. We also encountered some bugs but they’ll surely be fixed
        by a SP1. We also deeply regret that the user’s guidebook is so small!
        Only 68 pages! When you compare to the CorelDraw 9.0 book that contains
        more than 900 pages it really seems to be a low-fat guidebook. But
        CorelDraw 9 Office is a good buying even for owners of CorelDraw! 9. So
        why wait? Order it! (Upgrade price is available for registered users of
        Corel Draw, MS Office, MS PhotoDraw, Visio, iGrafx, Paradox…)
