Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

This is a collection of eight previously released personal productivity applications that, in their heyday, were leading products in their respective genres. You get WordPerfect 10 (a standard word processor), McAfee VirusScan (comes standard on many computers), Dragon NaturallySpeaking Essentials (voice recognition software), and Britannica Ready Reference Encyclopedia (a not-very- family-friendly reference). You also get Picture Publisher Digital Camera Edition (photo editing and sharing), Quattro Pro 10 (database software), Avery DesignPro (for graphic design) and Task Manager (an organizational utility with project templates). This suite is worth considering if you are looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value on SUPER Software Bundle!, September 5, 2002

David Ferguson - See all my reviews

This review is from: WordPerfect Family Pack 4 (CD-ROM)

The Corel WordPerfect Family Pack is super value for anyone not needing a full professional office software suite (such as WordPerfect Office Professional or MS Office). The WordPerfect 10 wordprocessor is easy for the the beginner -- with the "Perfect Expert" to help and prompt you to your completion. Yet, it's fully featured for the advanced user. Included is Dragon NaturallySpeaking for WordPerfect, a utility that you train to your voice so that you can talk and it will type!! Also included is the Quattro Pro 10 (spreadsheet program), Avery DesignPro (similar to PrintShop), online Encyclopedia Brittanica, and McAfee VirusScan (virus checker).

It's a deal super deal for a super software bundle!

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific alternative to microsoft., August 29, 2002

This review is from: WordPerfect Family Pack 4 (CD-ROM)

Personally, I dislike thinking that I absolutely must buy only Microsoft products just because they dominate the market. Frankly, I don't like feeling like a sheep and so I avoid Microsoft products whenever a viable alternative is available. Corel's WordPerfect Family Pack 4 presents a very viable alternative at a quite reasonable price. I've been a fan of the various versions of WordPerfect for more than a decade and it's still my word processor of choice -- and would be even if I weren't rebelling against the dominance of Microsoft. If you can cope with using something good that isn't what virtually everyone else uses, I think you'll like this product -- and save some money as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny - 100%, August 10, 2002

Honestly, if you do not have this software product in your collection, you are missing out a lot of great stuff here. The value that you are getting for your money here is worth every penny. From wordprocessing to photoediting I think this is 100% better than Microsoft Works Suite, the value appears in terms of more software and even hardware, I do not see anywhere in Microsofts Works where you are getting a headset, and Avery publishing software is truly exceptional I have version one of that software (it came with Office 97 Pro) and does every thing perfect, creating list, business cards etc imagine what you could do with this new version. Photo-editing software is satisfactory, its no Photoshop but it does get the job done. Lets not forget, Dragon Naturally speaking an excellent Voice Recognition software, it really takes the hassle from those who hate to type, one thing to remember, to get the best results from Dragon you have to practice, so that it can get use to your voice. You are also getting tons of Clipart, what else can I say but this product is better than MS Works Suite and is worth the [price]. Buy it you won't regret it.
