ActiveWin.Com: Corel WordPerfect Office 2002 Standard

Well we have reached the end of the review. Here are my final comments, notes and grades for Corel WordPerfect Office 2002 Standard.

Corel WordPerfect Office 2002 Standard Edition is definitely a viable and good alternative to Microsoft Office. It offers tons of great, unique features that make the suite powerful enough to be used in high demanding corporate environments to produce daily documents. Compared to its predecessor, a lot of work has been done by Corel engineers to improve the stability of the suite. Thus the frequent crashes that crippled the previous release are now just a bad memory making the Corel Application Recovery Manager almost useless. Corel WordPerfect 2002 certainly doesn’t offer enough new features to justify a rush on it but it maintains the approach WordPerfect aficionados have liked for years and has some strong advantages.
