There are a number of features we particularly liked. Creating and editing documents and formatting text is easy and straightforward. If you’re already familiar with Microsoft Word or other word processing applications, you’ll find WordPerfect X9 has all the same functionality and features. The left toolbar is for adding elements and shapes, the right toolbar for managing slides.

However, there are also additional toolbars on the left and right side of the page. Presentations X9, the PowerPoint rival, shares a similar layout to WordPerfect and Quattro Pro, with toolbars across the top of the window. It shares many of the same text formatting options as WordPerfect, as well as buttons for inserting rows and columns and creating calculations and formulae. Quattro Pro X9 is the Excel equivalent, and it too looks very similar to its Microsoft counterpart.
