Instead, it adopted a "wait and see" attitude. The announcement states that the new functionality will be just a " first step towards a comprehensive set of functionality for both formats," but does not specify what actions might follow, or when.Ĭorel was one of the original ODF committee members at OASIS, the developer of ODF, and attended a strategy meeting of ODF proponents at an IBM facility in Armonk, NY ion November 4 of 2005, but then declined to commit to support ODF. We loaded a copy on another computer and had the same problem until we right-clicked on the icon to launch the program, and select "troubleshoot compatibility." Problem solved.In an excellent example of "better late than never," Corel Corporation announced this morning that it's next release of its flagship Corel WordPerfect Office suite will provide open, view and edit support for ODF – and for Office OpenXML (OOXML), the format submitted to Ecma for adoption, as well. I set it up with no problems with my new Windows 10 laptop, but a friend has had issues with it (documents would load, but would not save).

But if your main goal is to create programs for churches, funerals, weddings, etc., WordPerfect is still the best I have seen, and X3 does a great job. If you're into web-based, group editing documents, then later versions of MS Word are great. WordPerfect is hands-down better for this sort of formatting. How many times I have seen programs of this nature with ragged right margins, or folds not correctly placed in the program, etc. The program consists of program contents that includes text for left, center, and right adjusted text elements on the same line, including dot leaders to connect the elements. Try this is Word, for example: Rapidly set up three panels on a legal sheet of paper in landscape mode to create a wedding program. For typical text based documents with minimal graphic elements, especially multi-column or multi panel (such as a church bulletin or wedding program), WordPerfect is still a champion for rapid formatting with professional looking results. I have used WordPerfect off and on since 1989, and after buying a Mac and using my old PCs only occasionally, have had to get by with MS Word for several years.
