WordPerfect Office X4: the real alternative to Microsoft Office

Corel Corporation released Corel WordPerfect Office X4, the latest version of the real alternative to Microsoft Office.

WordPerfect Office X4 combines all of the trusted features that WordPerfect Office is known for while breaking new ground as the world’s first PDF office suite. Offering a full range of PDF capabilities, WordPerfect Office X4 makes it easy for users to import, edit and export PDF documents – including scanned PDFs – dramatically simplifying user workflows and reducing the need for third-party PDF software.

In addition to its significant PDF enhancements, WordPerfect Office X4 now provides suite-wide compatibility with Microsoft Office 2007 files (OOXML) and Open Document Format (ODF) in WordPerfect X4. With PDF-reading software installed on more than 80% of all U.S. PCs (Source: Jupiter Research), WordPerfect Office X4 enables users to collaborate and share files more broadly and more effectively than ever before.
WordPerfect Office X4 extends WordPerfect’s legendary reputation for superior formatting power and control by introducing new Web collaboration and storage services, a new document redaction tool, a Web-connected digital notebook and an innovative new business intelligence package.

WordPerfect Office X4 – Standard Edition includes the familiar word processing, spreadsheet, slide show and email applications that have consistently distinguished Corel’s office suite: WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Presentations and WordPerfect MAIL. This release also features innovative additions including Corel Connector online services, WordPerfect Lightning for digital note taking and Corel Visual Intelligence SE for data visualization and business intelligence. These elements, in combination, make up a powerful suite that helps customers communicate their ideas more effectively and with greater impact.
