WORDPERFECT ANNOUNCES NEW VERSION OF WORDPERFECT PRESENTATIONS FOR WINDOWS

Product to be Included in New WordPerfect Suite

NEW YORK--June 28, 1994--Novell, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOVL) and WordPerfect, the
Novell Applications Group, today announced WordPerfect Presentations 3.0
for Windows, the next version of its presentation graphics product.
WordPerfect Presentations 3.0 for Windows includes enhancements that make
creating and delivering effective presentations even easier, as well as
interface consistency and OLE 2.0 integration with other applications in
the new suite. Version 3.0 is due to ship as both a standalone product and
with the suite this fall.

"WordPerfect Presentations is a strong individual product and a great
addition to our new suite," said Mark Calkins, vice president of product
marketing at WordPerfect, the Novell Applications Group. "Users are
getting a best-of-class presentations solution, the tightest application
consistency and integration available, as well as access to network
services--all from within a single work environment."

Suite Advantages

As a component of the new suite, WordPerfect Presentations offers users
many advantages over competing suite and standalone presentation
solutions. PerfectFit Technology ensures tight interface consistency
across products, and includes shared resources such as OLE 2.0 support,
speller and thesaurus. PerfectScript functionality and macro support allow
users to define and execute product-specific and cross-application
macros.

"WordPerfect Presentations allows users to focus on accomplishing their
work rather than battling their software," said Shirley Chu, director of
product marketing, WordPerfect Presentations. "The consistent interface
and command set between our suite applications shortens the learning curve
for each product, and other shared resources free up valuable disk space
and memory. As part of the suite, our product gives users hassle-free
access to the benefits of true cross-application integration."

Strong Standalone Product

From usability labs to end-user focus groups, users are asking for a
presentation graphics product that is easy to use and learn, has a high
level of integration, and has the necessary functionality to create
effective presentations. Development efforts on WordPerfect Presentations
have focused on answering these user needs.

Easy-to-Use & Learn: Product-specific enhancements in WordPerfect
Presentations make it easy for users to create effective presentations.
Startup Dialogs provide users with various options as they enter the
product, guiding them as they begin the process of creating a slide show
or drawing. When users need to create a presentation, the ShowExpert
feature is available to help them define and organize the content. Whether
users are creating a presentation meant to inform, persuade, teach or
otherwise, ShowExpert provides them with suggested outlines and extensive
descriptions that explain how to fill in those outlines.

Coaches are also available to guide users in completing specific tasks. As
Coaches direct users through the necessary steps to complete tasks, the
users actually execute those steps themselves and quickly learn how to
accomplish the tasks. Simplified direct text editing and in-place chart
editing are other ways that WordPerfect Presentations now helps users
easily create presentations.

Seamless Integration: WordPerfect Presentations also makes it easy for
users to include information from varying sources and to collaborate in
the creation of presentations. The product is mail-enabled (WordPerfect
Symmetry 4.1 and any other MAPI-compliant mail system can be accessed), it
easily imports multiple graphics and data formats, and it supports Intel
ProSharen' Personal Conferencing, a product family that enables users to
concurrently view and edit a presentation file, providing increased
productivity via real-time feedback.

Effective Presentations: In addition to the multimedia capabilities already
found in WordPerfect Presentations (TWAIN support, direct sound support,
video and animation through OLE), the product also offers a variety of new
special effects. Text and objects can now be altered to show depth, be
mapped to different shapes, or be viewed from different angles. Thirteen
new bitmap filters can also be used to modify the look of bitmap images.

Easy to Switch: WordPerfect Presentations also makes it easy for users to
switch from competing presentation packages. The UpgradeExpert feature
helps those users become familiar with how to accomplish common tasks, and
conversion filters ensure that work previously created in competing
packages is still usable.

"For many WordPerfect- users who are currently using Harvard Graphics,
there are compelling reasons to switch to WordPerfect Presentations," said
Chu. "We want to help people retain the investment they have already made
in presentation graphics, and ensure a smooth transition for those who
decide to make the switch. " Users who switch to WordPerfect Presentations
can benefit from the common interface and WordPerfect commands, tight
integration with the new suite, and new group collaboration and networking
functionality.
