>

Giveaway closed.
congratulations shanna!


Corel® Home Suite is a new collection of applications for running efficient households and sparking creativity in families.  With Corel Home Suite, families will be able to accomplish a wide range of everyday computing tasks with tools to help manage household finances, create newsletters or flyers, touch up photos and create beautiful scrapbooks, calendars and photo albums for showcasing precious memories. Included in the affordable PC bundle is Corel® Write for word processing, Corel® Calculate for spreadsheets, Corel® Show for presentations, Corel® Photo Album™ Deluxe for photo-editing, and Corel® Paint it!™ for turning photos into amazing paintings.

Corel Home Suite includes key tools to help families stay organized while encouraging creativity in the household:


Corel® Write: Easily create great-looking documents, term papers, professional-looking resumes, letters and just about any other document imaginable.

Corel® Calculate: Quickly create spreadsheets, charts and graphs for managing household numbers and finances.

Corel® Show: Easily create slideshows from scratch with photos or charts to showcase family projects.

Corel® Photo Album Deluxe: Quickly edit and share your photos and videos and automatically back up your files online to keep your memories safe.

Corel® Paint it!™: Quickly transform digital photos into unique, hand-painted works of art in three simple steps with Parent Tested Parent Approved photo-painting software.



I was lucky enough to get to try out this new Corel bundle that I think would be great for a home office.  I really do not have a high need for the Corel calculate or Corel Show just because I do not do too much office type stuff on my computer, being a stay at home mom I do not need to use it much.  I did however use the Corel Write for word processing just the other day to make up a nice sheet with all Kennedy's meds and feeding schedules.  This was pretty easy to use, especially once you play around some with all the different functions.  We know I love the Corel Paint it! as I have done a seperate review for this and still love this product !  You can see my review for that by clicking here.  The last part the Corel Photo Album Deluxe I did not install on my computer.  It says on the packaging that it was not designed for windows 7 and we recently got a new Windows 7 computer.  It is compatible with Windows xp and vista.  All the other programs in the Corel Home suite are compatible with windows xp, vista, and 7. 

I think the price is pretty good too....the suggested retail price is $69.99, which is what the Corel Home office is priced at by itself.  It is like you are getting the other two for free!

  50. I work with word processing and spreadsheets on a daily basis, so I'm guessing I'd get a ton of use out of the Corel Write and Calculate programs from the Office suite. Thanks!
