Is this an upgrade or full version? Can it be used with Windows 8? Installed my old WordPerfect3 on new Windows 8 computer - not going well!

It is a full version, although, if you have 6, it will simply upgrade some things to 7.I have 8.1 and find it works just fine with same.

On your WordPerfect 3 have you tries to set compatibility for windows 8. I know on Windows 7 if you go to properties and choose the compatibility tab and set it to your operating system you will have less problems. I do not know if you can do this with Windows 8, but it is worth a look.

WordPerfect Office 7 (Home & Student) is a full version including WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Presentations, WP Lightning (notebook). The Box the program disk comes in says it runs on Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, and works with XP. Hope this helps.

Its a full version and a huge upgrade from 3. It comes also with Quatto Pro, Presentations, and Lightning. I installed my copy on Windows 8.1. Before this version I had Wordperfect 10 and although you will be able to do much more and also have the tools to do it with X7 everything will look very familiar and work very similar to your old version. X7 is just Supercharged so to speak. Hope this helped Carol, Todd

Word Perfect 8 is VERY OLD and was designed to work with Windows 95 - I doubt it will work with any of the newer Windows operating systems.

As of 1/31/15, mine shipped with Rev 3.3, which is on the TP-Link website list of Win8 compatible hardware. (I mention it in case the product desc rev# was giving anyone pre-purchase anxiety).

It has a usable version of word, but I installed a full version of microsoft works and word that I had previously.

The computer does not come with the full version of MS Word. I bought the full version immediately after I received the computer.

Microsoft has an "upgrade" that is free - Windows 8.1. It makes the W8 a bit more like W7, but not entirely. W8/8.1 takes some getting used to but it isn't too bad. If you get a touch screen laptop (this one is not touch screen) it might be a bit easier to get accustom to.

If I remember right it comes with a trial version. Have to pay to get it permanently. Research Windows 8 though before you buy. You're not like it.

I have version 7.53 which was released on October 18, 2013. I also have Windows 8 and they both work perfectly together. The developer, Anthony, is great to work with. Almost immediately, he will respond to any of your questions. His customer service is wonderful. Also, the software is so easy to use. I have been using it for years and love it!

I was running Wordperfect X3, but Quattro Pro X5 and Presentation X5 when I upgraded, so I had no problems. But you need X5 or X6. Here the quote from the Amazon website: "To purchase this product [WordPerfect Office X7 Standard Upgrade ], you must own a previous licensed version of WordPerfect Office X5 or X6, Standard or Professional Edition. Please note that upgrade eligibility excludes Academic, Home & Student, OEM and Not for Resale (NFR) versions."

No it is a free upgrade. Windows 7 is still preferred in most corporate environments and Win 8 offers few benefits if you don't have a touch screen so they are giving you the option to upgrade in the future. It is a no strings attached deal.

I did the upgrade, which was very simple. In all honesty the process was simplified by MS and worked great. My only other comment is that the 'learning curve' for Win 8 itself was not as easy as all of the other upgrades. This new OS is so radically different, that you will in fact be forced to work at learning it.

I think it can be installed on 8.1, but since it is outdated, there are not any more updates. This site may help: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/officeversion_other-word/word-2000-crash-with-windows-81/6ea471c5-b3f7-48a9-ae7d-1bf0aac18ec3

Not sure about W8 (still using 7 here), but you can go to the "contact us" section of their website (smead.com) and chat with a rep that can help, and send you an upgrade link if available. Since they can send you a link to upgrade I can't understand why they don't just release the product 'ready to go' on the shelf! Hope that helps a little.

The ads always mention the OS and it is explained in this ad for the 8183, that Windows 8 is included. If it doesn't mention a word processor, there probably is none. There are several free ones on-line.

It works transparently with Windows 7, it does open and read Word Documents and is able to save documents in Word format so they may be seen by E-mail Word Users. I have been using Wordperfect since version 4 or 5 and continue to create documents with it, that are near impossible in MS Word. MS Word has a tendency to ignore the use and format the document how the application want it and it is always difficult what is driving that formatting. In Wordperfect you can always find what is driving a formatting issue. The better application by far is Wordperfect.

I really don't know. WordPerfect licensing is less restrictive than other brands but I do know that WordPerfect Suite 8 is a very good inexpensive program for general word processing. I'll look in the literature that came with it when I get home and get back to you.
