When I just bought my upgrade of Ver13 it had all the books and cd's with it. Plus on the corel site right now they are offering quite a few extras with it for free right now. <hr /><a name="a4931_15"></a><p><b>From: Barbara (RGILE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.15">#15</a>]<br /> 4 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.14">#14</a>] 4 Oct 2006</p> John,<br /> I have version 12 and have read somewhere that it's better to wait two years for your next upgrade. <br /> Do you think that version 13 is so much better that I should invest in it?<br /> 14 should be just around the corner at the rate they have been changing things.<br /> I have heard that people are still using version 9 with no problems.<br /> <br /> Just curious.<br /> Barb <hr /><a name="a4931_16"></a><p><b>From: PenMan</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.16">#16</a>]<br /> 4 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Barbara (RGILE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.15">#15</a>] 4 Oct 2006</p> <p>Hi Barb,</p> <p>I just upgraded from v12 to 13. I like the trace function a lot better in 13 but I don't like the zoom out function as well as in 12. In 12 you can hit F3 to zoom out to your previous zoom. I am having to learn to work around that. For me, the trace upgrade was worth the change.</p> <hr /><a name="a4931_17"></a><p><b>From: Barbara (RGILE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.17">#17</a>]<br /> 4 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: PenMan</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.16">#16</a>] 5 Oct 2006</p> What do they cost in the stores.

I found the X3 version much better in many ways (many listed on this post) enough to warrant for me the upgrade and I typically don't do the 'upgrade' thing very often on any piece of software. In fact, I had downloaded the trial version of X3 when it was offered and I didn't like some things with it and it even caused my computer to lock up. BUT after reading everything people were saying about it and looking at the upgrade price I just 'went for it' and have been immensly satisfied with it.<br /> Just go to Core's website and check their latest offer for upgrades.. its around $139 or so, plus they are offering some additional software for free. I opted for the version with the disk and it included all the manuals with it.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> <hr /><a name="a4931_22"></a><p><b>From: Barbara (RGILE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.22">#22</a>]<br /> 4 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: John (JOHNRMONTG)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.21">#21</a>] 4 Oct 2006</p> Thanks John,<br /> I will take a look at it.<br /> Haven't made up my mind yet.<br /> Barb <hr /><a name="a4931_23"></a><p><b>From: PenMan</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.23">#23</a>]<br /> 5 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Shaddy</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4931.20">#20</a>] 5 Oct 2006</p> Thanks Shaddy. I made the modification you suggested and it works perfectly. Now I like X3 a lot better. How did I miss your suggestion the first time? Probably reading too fast I guess.
