“It is the opinion of many people that Linux doesn’t have any
“good” applications. This opinion usually refers to the lack of an
integrated office suite, or even a WYSIWYG word processor. With the
advent of Corel WordPerfect 8.0 for Linux, and soon the complete
Corel Office 2000 Suite, that claim can no longer be made.”
“This review of WP8 will cover the installation process, basic
word processing and graphics tasks, creating documents for easy
Internet publication, integration issues, advanced tasks, printing,
and some special capabilities of WP8 for Linux.”
“WordPerfect 8 has all the capabilities necessary for people who
need a graphical What You See Is What You Get word processor.”
“I… appreciated the lack of any “cute” features that do
nothing but add bloat to an already large application. These
features include “easter eggs” and animated helpers that do nothing
but get in the way of doing actual work. Corel has kept WP8 to the
basics while still extending the functionality and usefullness of
the application for many tasks.”
