4 out of 5 stars Compact and Inexpensive   November 17, 2009
John P. Sullivan (Roseville, CA)
The basic essentials are covered in this package providing word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. Installation from the USB stick is a simple task.

Corel Home Office is a fine product for its price point. The applications look and operate much like their Microsoft Office [2007] counterparts and provide adequately comparable functionality - there are fewer transitions for presentations, fewer charts for spreadsheets, less complex word processing features, a slightly less streamlined and feature-filled interface. Core features and tools are included; most of what's lacking would be missed primarily by the power user.

It's a fine product for small-scale business or for anyone unwilling to shell out big bucks for productivity software - not a bad choice for students on a budget.

Transitioning to and from a larger suite is easy enough: Corel Write's "Tools" menu encapsulates some of the tools you find on Word's "Mailings" and "Review" tabs; the "Insert" menu contains trimmed down "Reference" tab features. These dissimilarities are characteristic of the entire suite.

If your small business does mass mailings or if you're tackling any large-scale writing projects, you might do better with a more advanced suite whose convenience features could quickly add up to countless hours of saved time. If you're an individual needing a productivity suite with a small footprint at a good price, I think Corel Home Office Personal & Business should satisfy.



2 out of 5 stars On a Good Day, This is Nothing More than WordPerfect Lite   November 13, 2009
George McAdams (Alabama, USA)
First of all, I usually like Corel products because they seem to think things out, especially their word processing programs. Corel Home Office, with its flash drive for installation is different. It is a slim version of WordPerfect, with not as many of the other word processing formats available, and while this is probably good for a net book type of program, since most people only have to worry about saving a document as a Word document.

This program would be a good one for your child's first computer, but it left me searching for something nice to say about it. The spreadsheet and presentation programs were OK. Together, Corel Home Office reminds me of a similar program that was out in the early 1990's that was a skinny version of Lotus 1-2-3. It did some things, but not everything. I didn't like that program, and I don't like this one either.

Oh, on top of everything, once installed, the program is no longer is on the flash drive. Thus, you better think-out exactly where you will use it before you install it.

So, while the price is attractive. Please realize that you're getting what you paid for...



5 out of 5 stars Great!   November 9, 2009

We put this on a new computer instead of Microsoft Office (which is on the other 4 computers in our house). This software is great! My 9-year-old easily used it for his report for school and putting together a slide show. The word processing is terrific, too.

Be aware: Corel Home Office is NOT compatible with your Word Perfect files and will not read them. Although low in price, I feel I wasted $39.95 in getting it. Comes on a USB reader which you could re-use, I suppose. That would reduce your cost by 6 - $9. Not worth the purchase. Buy Corel Word Perfect for a real program.


5 out of 5 stars Just like having the real thing! Love it   October 21, 2009

What I really enjoy most on The Corel Home Office is the ability to save to a PDF format, whether it is a document or excel program. I have used large spreadsheet documents, and with PDF format, it saves on the extra time it takes for format to print. With one click, it will save neatly to your current Microsoft files if you have Microsoft 2003 or 2007. This suite for personal and business use is just enough for those who do not need the entire Microsoft Software that generally sells for much more.

You have the newest menu bars, the Microsoft 2007 Ribbon toolbars, and it does not look as intimidating as Microsoft 2007. Or, the option is to select regular toolbars that one is more familiar with. I have not figured how to go back to a more simple menubar. I cannot say everything is here that is identical to Microsoft 2007, but it sure feel like it is more than adequate. for some reason, the programs are called WRITE (word); CALCULATE (excel) and SHOW (powerpoint).

The WRITE program has a small glitch in Grammar and Spelling tools. But like any other program with grammar and spelling, they can vary greatly. I never use this tool.

The CALCULATE program is filled with so much, you may never use it all. And, I plan to experiment with the Corel SHOW for pictures. This is a wonderful addition and just as comparable as PowerPoint. Many nice features available.

This is perfect for laptops and home computers. Rizzo
