Corel Corporation last week announced Corel Home Office, a new office suite designed specifically to address the needs of consumers and home-based businesses. With its low memory requirements and small footprint, Corel Home Office is also ideally suited for netbooks – portable, mini notebook computers that comprise the fastest growing PC segment.
Corel Home Office includes Corel Write for word processing, Corel Calculate for spreadsheets, and Corel Show for presentations.
Features
- Sleek and simple interface: Easily access the tools and features you use most
- File compatibility and document sharing: With extensive file format support (including Microsoft Office) and the ability to create PDFs in all three applications, it’s easier than ever to communicate and share materials with others.
- Multi language support: Quickly toggle between 13 available languages to work in the language of your choice
- Portability: Delivery on a USB stick makes Corel Home Office easy to install on the go – even on netbooks without an optical (e.g. CD, DVD) drive
- Customisation: Netbook owners can use manual or auto configuration options to easily adjust their settings and maximise screen real estate
System requirements
- Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, and Business (32-bit and 64-bit) or Windows XP Home, Media or Professional Edition (with latest Service Pack and critical updates)
- 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)
- 1 GHz processor
- 300 MB hard disk space for full installation of all included applications and languages
- 1024 x 768 screen resolution (768 x 1024 on a tablet PC)
