Product Description

Amazon.com Review

CorelDRAW 9 Office Edition addresses the need more and more businesses have for solid, eye-catching presentations and printed documents. The package has all the tools for creating these articles of communication with style, along with some bonuses to jump-start your own media department.

The star of the package is CorelDRAW itself, now up to version 9. CorelDRAW is a solid vector-graphics drawing application with no shortage of features, and by itself is an excellent graphics tool. This Office Edition, however, adds value to CorelDRAW by including a well-rounded collection of clip-art images (25,000 of them), 500 business-document templates, and 100 high-quality, business-oriented photographs. Clip art and photos like this are rarely used as is; using them creatively as foundation elements in CorelDRAW is the key to making them fit your company's image.

CorelDRAW 9 Office Edition also includes Corel Presentations, a slide-show engine that can be used for interactive presentations. While not as sophisticated as other multimedia development environments, it is more than capable of creating basic presentations.

CorelDRAW 9 itself is an excellent value, but when coupled with a varied clip-art collection and Corel Presentations, it turns a single computer into a powerful new media-presentation department. --Mike Caputo

5.0 out of 5 stars Big performance - small price, May 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: CorelDraw 9 Office Edition (CD-ROM)

Compared to the professional Corel Draw 9 package, this "Office Edition" is slightly less sophisticated and powerful. But it is easier to use and offers some unique add-ons for business users. Compared to the competitors out there (Adobe, Visio, etc.) you certainly will get a lot more bang for the buck. Unless you need a high-end professional graphics tool, this Office Edition of Corel Draw will be all you ever need for bitmap (photographs) and vector (charts) files.

5.0 out of 5 stars CorelDraw is Brill, May 17, 2001

This review is from: CorelDraw 9 Office Edition (CD-ROM)

After our research on each desktop publishing software application, we have come to a conclusion as a group and decided on the best application out of the three. We think that CorelDraw was the best software application for desktop publishing. CorelDraw has many features, which are all simple to use making this package user friendly. They range from text fonts, importing images and animation, high-quality slide shows and drawings, publish to the Web without learning HTML, help menus and wizards which are user friendly and e-mail functions. CorelDraw is great value for money, and worth buying for any organisation needing a desktop publishing package. CorelDraw itself is an excellent value, but when coupled with a varied clip-art collection and Corel Presentations, it turns a single computer into a powerful new media-presentation department.

We like this product so much we give it five stars:*****

This review is from: CorelDraw 9 Office Edition (CD-ROM)

This is a wonderful software product. It is very sophisticated and should meet about all of your office graphic design needs.

We use this product for designing newsletters for our customers. I bought the product about six or eight months ago. And it took me about two or three newsletters before I started getting the hang of it.

You can move objects or pictures by increments of 1/1000th of an inch, link images from an external folder into your newsletter or document (making for faster opens and saves), work with colors, etc. You can make professional-looking newsletters.

You also can design or spiff-up your business logo. The CorelDRAW 9.0 Office program will let you work with individual letters of text.

I originally bought this software program to export a file in Portable Document Format (PDF) for a website. It was not until I installed the program that that I learned about the many things that this program can do. The PDF function is only a small part of it.

Hopefully, I am not helping any of my competitors but I highly recommend it.
