Review by Michael Scott Shappe.
“WordPerfect 8 for Linux is an evolutionary improvement over
last year’s WordPerfect 7 port to Linux… I’d found WordPerfect 7
to be a very good port of a solid product. It had all the features
I needed, plus many features I didn’t…”
“How does this next version stack up?… If you’re already
perfectly happy with WordPerfect 7, in that you’re not experiencing
any problems and not missing any particular feature, you may simply
not need this upgrade.”
“Some nice new features are present for novices…The speed is
certainly improved.”
“Several features are available only in the purchased version,
not in the download.”
“One of my biggest complaints… the style-sheet system is…
incredibly complex — almost too complex to be useful.”
“If you need or want a good commercial word processor for Linux,
WordPerfect 8 is definitely a good value. It works, and it works
well. It’s also inexpensive, which is always good.”
