Corel WordPerfect on Windows 7

[DonKlein]

Has anyone had any experience running Corel products and particularly WordPerfect version 9 with service pack 4 and later on Windows 7?

Have you tried the Compatibility Mode options that are available?

Which edition of Windows 7 are you talking about. There are other options available if you consider using Virtual Machines?

Linney,

Presently we are running WordPerfect 9 (sp4) and 11 without problem on XP Pro on SBS 2003 networks. We have not had any Windows 7 Pro machines yet, but are contemplating going that direction in a couple of months and wondered what others had experienced. I would and maybe should post in the Corel forum, but don't think it gets much attention.

Thanks for your response, these will be good suggestions if we have problems.

Don
