Summary: Disappointment in a box.
Comment: Don't get me wrong here, I love Word Perfect and have been using it since version 6.2a. I would never give up using Word Perfect completely, but this version just didn't run.
I had decided to upgrade my old version of Office 11 to X3 because I would finally be compatible with the computers used by my college. It was a much anticipated upgrade that I was very excited about. However, it did not run on my shiny new PC, and Corel's customer support could not find a way to avoid repeating themselves when trying to help me. In the end it never did run, and now Presentations 11 doesn't work anymore and instead of importing my old macros from Quattro, it deleted them all.
It's been sent back. I have no use for software that doesn't run, and little sympathy for software that kicks the older version apart and *still* doesn't run. If you have version 11, just keep it. The upgrade doesn't actually work like it claimed to.

Summary: Sitting in the Box
Comment: We purchased this and I upgraded my wife's computer with X3. We found the program buggy at best. Of special note was the fact that many of the documents formatted in X3 lost the pagination when opened with lower versions of the same program. In other words, if you create a document (especially exceeding 20 pages), save it and then open it with a prior version the headings may be on another page, content will be on different pages -- a big mess. My wife had me uninstall it and she reverted to the prior version.
The e-mail program that was added to this suite was worthless, so if you are considering an upgrade for this feature, forget it.
A couple of reviews pointed out that WordPerfect is becoming a mess as big as MS Office. A few years ago Microsoft purchased a major segment, if not controlling interest, in the Canadian company Corel. Maybe that's why it starting to walk like a duck.
Our X3 is sitting in a box somewhere in my wife's home office, never to see light of day again.

Summary: Best, to Fair, but still Better
Comment: I've used WP through many of its incarnations, and Version 8 seems to have reached its apogee (Corel Central has always been its weakest link). As a word processor, nothing is finer. It's exhaustive. It's intuitive. But after Version 8, every edition has been excessively buggy. In WP2002, for example, the Address Book would not insert the address into the document. Why? No one knows, and Corel does not care. The same edition has 1/5 the fonts of V. 8. Why? Still, for all the quibbles, I far prefer WP to MS. I update versions, but continue to use V. 8. It had problems in the XP environment, but they were easier to solve than the subsequent issues with Corel's indifference. If one is lucky, the software will work well enough. If not, aggravation may be resolved by an "open source" processor.
Note: The Personal Information Management of Corel Central is gone, replaced by an email client (outdated, but upgradable). PIMs are too valuable to omit, so one may need the Mozilla suite of software to supplement.

Summary: Painfully Slow Product
Comment: I have been a satisfied user and fan of WordPerfect since it was the leading standalone wordprocessing software. After Version 8, however, it has been a serious disappointment. If I didn't find MS Word so much to my disliking, I would have stop upgrading WordPerfect and looked for a way to convert all my old WordPerfect files when Version 9 proved such a disappointing product.
The problem is I still like the way the features of WordPerfect work. But its last three versions--9, 12 and X3--have all been incredibly and painfully slow in loading the program and its document files, printing documents, and converting documents to pdf (an otherwise great feature). Unless there are some real fixes in these areas soon, I'm going to have stop using WordPerfect. Waiting for the four functions mentioned above is just too much of a time waster. Of course, that means I'll have to convert a lot of document files to MS Word and use it often, which does not appeal to me. The way Word works is not fluid for me and very counterintuitive.
It's really a shame not to be able to recommend WordPerfect, since it has the features to be a stellar product.

Summary: Quattro Pro X3 too buggy for words
Comment: QPX3 cannot handle dialog box objects correctly. Oh sure, you can spend hours building a dialog box, and even test it OK, but if you try to go back and edit it some more the dreadfully misnamed Corel Application Recovery Manager (really a bug report gatherer) rears its ugly head. Even tabbing from one field to another in a dialog box will crash QPX3. And worse, any time a dialog box is on screen your CPU usage pegs at 100% until the box is closed, so even if you do manage to build something QPX3 will eat your CPU. On a laptop this just drains the battery and makes the fan kick in. There are numerous errors in the help documentation. Some are merely typos. Some things just plain don't work, such as the INDICATE macro statement, and it isn't marked obsolete like many of the other macro statements. This is a zero star program, don't waste your time.
