Looking for an office suite that includes a word processor, desktop publisher, web page publisher, charts, spreadsheets and more? Choose from three great products, Microsoft's Office2000, Corel's WordPerfect Office 2000 Standard, and Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition. Truthfully, choosing which one you want depends on what you've used before and what you truly need. Each come with a variety of programs and range from $399 on up. It's recommended you stick with what you know and upgrade if you can (that'll save you some bucks). If you've never used one of these and want to try one, I recommend WordPerfect's Office 2000 for the home office or small business, MS Office2000 for the small to mid-sized business and Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition for the mid to large-sized business. Why? Comments from current users on newsgroups and web sites suggest this is the best route. Of course, YMMV (your mileage may vary).
