My reasoning
Hi Peter:
The goal of my review was to view Corel Office from a MS Office point of view. Most businesses rely on excellent compatibility with Word docs in particular, and that is why I focused mostly on Writer. The other applications in the Corel suite work as expected. However, since I am not acutely familiar with the intricacies of Excel and PowerPoint in terms of how compatible documents from those programs are with Corel, I stuck with what I knew best in terms of a comparison. If the DOC and DOCX conversion engine in Writer is not all that its cracked up to be, I expect no less from the other applications. Given the limited scope of what I was looking at, I felt the strong look at the word processor was the best bet.
Incidentally, your criticism is perfectly valid and I should have pointed out the fact that my review was meant to have a more limited focus. I will do better to ensure that my audience understands my intentions more fully next time.
