Introducing Corel® WordPerfect® Office X5

The productivity market has changed a lot in the
last 20 years; over the last two years, the pace of
that change has been exponential. New players
and business models have emerged that have
expanded the scope of what is considered an office
productivity
changed, so have users’ expectations. But as
always, the key to any new office suite is blending
tools that users have come to rely on with new
features that fit into today’s workflow.

The Internet is impacting every technology
market because of its ability to connect people
and provide a vehicle for collaboration. Market
research indicates that business and government
users are quickly adopting online tools to make
their organizations more collaborative and
efficient. Consumers, on the other hand, are
moving slowly towards online capabilities as they
weigh the value that online office tools offer
against the kind of tasks they regularly perform.

As enterprises, law offices, and government
departments have recognized and embraced
online/offline tools, Corel
has been at the forefront of integrating them
into the office productivity workflow. With these
users in mind, WordPerfect
mesh with an organization’s workflows and back­end systems.

These days people are just as likely to turn to an
e-mail client for writing a note or memo. But
when there’s more at stake — when an
organization’s or a person’s reputation and image
are on the line — that’s when users turn to the

Users want to take advantage of new technologies,
and they also know that the work they produce
with an office suite has a huge impact on their
image and reputation. With that in mind,
WordPerfect Office X5 is built on four key areas
of focus. More tools that make life easier
allow people to focus on what really matters —
content. When it's more than a page, when
there’s more at stake, users demand collaborative
tools and formatting features that allow them to
give their documents just the right look. File-
format freedom is also a cornerstone because
market-leading compatibility means users never
have to worry about file formats when sharing
their documents or working with others. And
because every dollar counts these days,
WordPerfect Office X5 is designed to be the right
office productivity tool at the right price.

More tools that make life easier

Users want to focus on the details of their work,
not the logistics of their office suite. They don’t
want an office suite that makes them work.
Instead, they need an office productivity tool that
works for them. The legendary formatting
features and intuitive user interface of
WordPerfect Office help users effortlessly turn
notes into powerful proposals and outlines into
compelling slideshows.

Longtime favorites that make document
formatting a breeze have been bolstered by a
variety of powerful productivity features,
including Web Services integration and PDF
annotation tools.
simple for anyone to produce creative, polished,
and professional results.

When it’s more than a page

WordPerfect Office X5 builds on a foundation of
more than 20 years of constant design
refinements to meet the ever-changing needs of
government, law offices, small businesses, and
home users. New Microsoft SharePoint
capabilities offer enterprise-class collaborative
features, making it easy for multiple users to fine­tune an important document. Delivering a
legendary user experience found nowhere else,
WordPerfect Office X5 provides unparalleled
control over multi-page documents and features

famous for their ability to deliver results when it
counts. Any e-mail client or word processor will
do when writing a note or memo. But when it’s a
multi-page report or when users simply need a
document to look just right,
stands out.

With a legacy of distinct features, such as Reveal
Codes and comprehensive legal tools,
WordPerfect Office X5 gives users the tools to
produce their very best work. When it’s more
than a page, that’s the time for WordPerfect
Office X5.

WordPerfect Office X5

File-format freedom

Whether it’s in a law office or a home office,
people are exchanging files and collaborating
with others more than ever. Supporting more
than 60 file types, WordPerfect Office X5 is
designed to let users focus on the content of a
file, not its format. With the ability to open, edit,
and create OOXML files, WordPerfect Office X5
ensures easy collaboration with Microsoft Office
users. And enhanced compatibility with binary
Microsoft Office formats ensures that file content
displays as it was intended better than ever
before.

But what really separates WordPerfect
from every other office productivity suite
unique PDF capabilities. Offering the ability
work with scanned PDFs, along with built-in PDF
annotating, importing, editing and publishing
features, it’s the world’s first PDF office suite.

The right price

For less than half the price of Microsoft® Office,
WordPerfect Office X5 provides an incredible
variety of tools in one value-priced package.
WordPerfect Office X5 offers a range of powerful
productivity tools that users would otherwise
have to get from multiple sources: an office suite,
enterprise-class online/offline collaboration
features, and unique PDF tools. Backed by flexible
licensing, enterprise-class professional services
options, free online support, and a 20-plus-year
pedigree in the office productivity business, it’s
no wonder that WordPerfect Office remains the
leading alternative to Microsoft Office.

standard for the sharing of electronic documents,
but the inherent value of PDFs isn’t fully exploited
if the content can only be read. With unrivaled

• PDF import: Too often customers have
difficulties when trying to access and reuse
PDF content. By simply opening a PDF with
WordPerfect X5, users can easily reuse text
and graphics, and then save the file to a wide
variety of formats. And if only the text in a
PDF is needed for reuse, users can choose to
import it without the layout.

government and legal offices, WordPerfect X5

features, such as external document linking,
that are not suited to long-term archiving.
