WordPerfect X4

Corel recently released WordPerfect Office X4. As of yet, I haven't got my hands on a copy. In the meantime, here are two reviews:

I hope to be able to get a copy real soon so I can do my own review.

Problems and annoyances with Vista

This is really just a placeholder and a reminder for myself. Because I don't have time during usual business hours, tomorrow I'll go to the office where I have the computer that runs Vista and blog the following Vista problems:

  1. Major memory leak (for lack of a better term until I have time to fully investigate what exactly is happening) when creating a new macro in WordPerfect X3; and
  2. Serious issues with Readiris Pro scanning software (this was bad before Vista; I'm almost to the point of throwing it out now);

There are others. But those are the two that I'm most often makes me wish I had stuck with XP.

Until Saturday...

Going Vista

We replaced my computer at work tonight with a new Dell XPS running Vista Ultimate. I got all the data files moved over to the new computer, including WordPerfect data.

First thing Friday morning I'm going to load the WordPerfect X3 software onto the new computer. I'm not sure how this happens, or even if it does since I only have a vague recollection of having read this sometime ago, but it's my understanding that WPX3 will connect with the Corel site and download and install the necessary files to make it compatible with Vista.

Keeping my fingers crossed. Better yet, if anyone has any advice on making this happen, leave a comment or drop me a note at mariecarnes [at] gmail.com. Thanks.

Archived WordPerfect newsletters

In case I haven't previously linked to it before, the Corel archive of old WordPerfect newsletters can be found at:

Interesting. I don't see 2007 newsletters there. Okay, here are 2007 (so far) as separate links:

  1. January 2007
  2. February 2007
  3. March 2007
  4. April 2007
  5. May 2007
  6. June 2007
  7. July 2007

There is a treasure trove of useful information in those newsletters.

Patches

Here's the link to get started with patching WPX3:

From the July 2007 newsletter which links to that patch:

Corel WordPerfect Office X3 works with Windows Vista! WordPerfect Office X3 is Vista-ready. [link]

Good to have handy since I think my office will be getting new computers in the near future with the Vista operating system.

WPBLOG.COM domain name for sale

As is quite obvious, I have not had time to work on this project lately. Therefore, I'd like to unload this domain name. Instead of just letting it fall by the wayside, I'd prefer it go to a good home and someone who could do some good with it.

If you're interested in buying wpblog.com, set your terms and make me an offer by e-mailing it to mariecarnes@gmail.com.

Thank you to the few people who have read here on occasion. I wish I could have done better.
