WordPerfect ffice X4 Standard Edition
PC World – Apr 23, 2008
Most of the Word documents I tested imported without a hitch although I had problems with richly formatted documents such as missing or mangled pictures. verall WordPerfect’s support for ffice file formats is good enough that most workers won’t face a headache when exchanging documents with their colleagues. ne of the most hyped new features in WordPerfect ffice is its PDF support which goes several steps beyond what Microsoft ffice provides including a host of additional options for configuring PDF creation allowing an author to control details like font subsetting picture compression PDF compatibility level and even password-protecting a document. Still WordPerfect’s ability to edit PDFs is overstated. Yes WordPerfect does provide the useful ability to open PDF files and convert them to WordPerfect documents. But in some cases this process fails (ending with hopelessly scrambled text) and in other cases it works but still leaves you with an altered layout. So the open-PDF feature is a great way to rescue text out of a document in a pinch but it’s never as good as working with the original files… For example WordPerfect still forces users to click the status menu to get an updated word count. (Word keeps the word count perpetually updated. ) And who can explain why WordPerfect still limits users to nine open files at a time and why the status bar shows the number of the page you’re working on but not the total number of pages in the document? Hard-core Excel and PowerPoint users are also likely to be a bit disappointed. Although Quattro Pro’s charts have compared well with Excel’s clumsy graphics for years they can’t compete with the jaw-dropping eye candy introduced in Excel 2007 such as the latter’s new chart-rendering engine and data-visualization tools. WordPerfect ffice makes a half-hearted attempt to compete in this area with its new Visual Intelligence program which helps create chart data in complex spreadsheets and databases. This tool though would be better off as an integrated feature in Quattro Pro. Price-conscious buyers are more likely to look at completely free competitors such as.
Ford eyes more cuts as recovery advances
Atlanta Journal Constitution – Apr 23, 2008
Mulally quickly ran up against a corporate culture that viewed Ford as just one brand among many. In one case he recalls colleagues suggested he remove the blue Ford logo from the pages of a PowerPoint presentation lest colleagues from Volvo Jaguar Lincoln or other brands feel slighted. “You’re going to alienate everybody” Mr. Mulally recalls being told. A big cause of Ford’s trouble was becoming clear to the new CE… ne team member began watching the Disney channel’s “Hannah Montana” show a hit among young people. To tap into younger consumers’ love of cellphones and portable music players the team decided to center the marketing of the Focus on a new voice-controlled entertainment system called Sync. Developed by Microsoft Corp. it lets drivers use voice commands to control a car stereo among other things. As the Focus launch approached however sales and market share continued to slide. In April members of the Ford family (which controls the auto maker) gathered to hear from a Wall Street deal-making firm amid concerns over Ford’s suspended dividend and general financial weakness. Meetings like these are often convened to weigh a company’s sale.
