Surprisingly it was alot more intuitive than MS Office ( I know that’s hard to beLIEve, but it was ). It worked great! It had no incompatibility issues with office - I mean none…. I managed to find a series of cracks that removed the trial period, and used WP 2002 as my primary office suite. Sigh.Ī couple of years ago I received the 30 day evaluation version of Corel Wordperfect Office 2002 (I think that was the name) cd from my college for free. I know this is not going to convert to Excel very well and the thought of having to redo all the formulae and links has prevented me from transitioning. This should not be a problem for the fairly simple sheets, but I’ve got a very sophisticated workbook that I’ve developed over the past few years that enables me to produce a trial bal, and update my bal sheet and income statement for every new transaction I enter into the ledger sheet. Now I face the prospect of having to convert my spreadsheets to Excel and then import into OOCalc. I’ve been running my business accounting on Quattro Pro spreadsheets since 2000, when my former accounting software ceased to function.

WP8 ran fine, but the office suite had many problems and I eventually gave up on it.Īnyway, I wish they would port Quattro Pro to Linux. I had both WP8 and WPOffice2000 under WINE running on a laptop at the time I was using Corel Linux. My understanding was that WP8 was a native Linux implementation, not WINE.
