Although the RT edition of Microsoft Office 13, Microsoft's next gen office suite, is now shipping aboard Microsoft's Slate tablets, the Windows 8 version isn't slated for general commercial release until early next year. Nor is Office 365, its cloud-enabled, subscription-based alternative.
Yet if you're looking for a shiny new office suite to place under the tree, WordPerfect Office X6 is one possibility.
Unlike the Windows 8 edition of Office 13, which supports Windows 8 only, WordPerfect Office X6 supports Windows editions from XP through 8. The product comes in four editions, all centering around the WordPerfect word processing program, Quattro Pro spreadsheet application, and Presentations presentatation package, which have been enhanced in version X6 for full compatibility with Microsoft Office 10.
Although most popular now in legal offices, the WordPerfect suite can also do a handy job of meeting a wide range of consumer needs.
WordPerfect Office X6 Professional, priced at $399.99, incorporates the VideoStudio Essentials X4 video editing package, along with the PDF Fusion software program, WinZip 16 and WinZip Courier, for file compression; and Nuance PaperPort 12SE scanning software, for instance. Other editions of Corel's suite include Legal ($379.99), Standard ($249.99), and Home & Student ($99.99).
