features and user experience of WordPerfect Office X6.

Because people exchange work and collaborate
with others more than ever, WordPerfect Office X6

is secondary to its content. Enhanced compatibility
with Microsoft Office formats and improved PDF

collaborative features like Web Services and
Microsoft SharePoint support ensure hassle-free
sharing and collaboration. And now WordPerfect X6
gives you the ability to publish to eBook formats, so
you can give your work an even wider audience.

Microsoft Office because it offers an incredible
