WORDPERFECT OFFICE 4.0 NOW AVAILABLE

New York--June 29, 1993--WordPerfect Office 4.0 for DOS, Windows and
Macintosh began shipping June 4, 1993, and is now available through direct
sales and various distribution channels including resellers, value added
resellers and system integrators.

WordPerfect Office 4.0 combines electronic mail, personal calendaring and
group scheduling into a single application. Version 4.0 includes
rules-based message management, workflow automation, ordered distribution,
task management, group calendaring, central and distributed administration
tools, and directory synchronization functionality.

"E-mail is not enough anymore," said David Clare, senior director of
marketing, workgroup applications, WordPerfect Corporation. "WordPerfect
Office 4.0 is the first workgroup application to offer users a messaging
solution that encompasses time management, task management and workflow
computing."

Three-in-One Application

In WordPerfect Office 4.0, electronic mail, schedule requests and personal
calendaring messages are stored in the same user/message database. By
combining the three elements into one, users are no longer limited to just
sending electronic mail, scheduling appointments or scheduling resources.
Users can now schedule tasks as easily as they send an electronic mail
message.

WordPerfect Office takes messaging to another level by allowing users to
attach files and documents to electronic mail messages, scheduled
appointments and scheduled tasks. Recipients of any type of message simply
double click on an attached file to retrieve the file.

WordPerfect Office 4.0 also includes text editing tools such as cut and
paste, indent, center, flush right, search, ruler and a speller.

Rules-Based Message Management

To help users deal with the large number of messages flowing into their In
Boxes, WordPerfect Office includes advanced rules for message management
that apply to all message types, including schedule requests, scheduled
tasks and e-mail messages.

Rules functionality lets users predefine an action or any number of actions
on incoming messages. Some of these actions include forward, reply, move
to a folder, delete, reject and delegate.

Rules can be triggered by any word or combination of words in any part of
the message. Rules can also be triggered by the priority assigned to a
message.

Group Calendaring

Group calendaring is an additional enhancement to WordPerfect Office's
ability to check conflicts across post offices and/or platforms. Group
calendaring lets users retrieve and view several users' calendars side by
side on the same screen while maintaining individual calendar
confidentiality.

Through access lists, users can specify who can view or modify personal
calendars, e-mail messages, tasks and notes. Although other users have
been granted access, messages can still be marked private, and other users
would not be allowed access. Users can also grant another user access to
notifications and alarms.

Task Management

Users can schedule tasks through WordPerfect Office 4.0. Like an e-mail
message or scheduled appointment, a user can assign another user a task. A
specific date and time can be allocated for the scheduled task to appear
on the assignee's to-do list. A completion date and time can be specified
for the scheduled task. In addition, the original sender can specify the
priority of the task when it appears on the assignee's calendar.

WordPerfect Office 4.0 will automatically launch the specific application
of a document that is attached to the task. The original sender is
notified through the Out Box when the user marks the task complete.

When assigned a task, a user can postpone response, accept, reject or
delegate the scheduled task. If the request is delegated, it is forwarded
to the specified user who then has the same response options.

Workflow

WordPerfect Office 4.0 introduces ordered distribution functionality which
lets users send a message to a specific group of people one by one. After
the message is delivered to the first person in the distribution list, it
is routed to the next user on the list.

Hierarchical Folders

With version 4.0, users can create any number of folders with multiple
levels of subfolders. Each folder holds any combination of e-mail
messages, scheduled items, personal appointments, tasks and notes for
incoming and outgoing messages. This type of folder structure makes
WordPerfect Office 4.0 a true project-based solution.

If a message logically fits into more than one folder, a user can store the
message in one folder and link it to others. The user can also specify if
the contents of a folder are stored in the WordPerfect Office mailbox, a
personal directory on the network, or on the hard disk.

System Administration

The WordPerfect Office System Administration program greatly simplifies the
setup, configuration and maintenance of the WordPerfect Office system.
WordPerfect Office system administration is designed for easy
administration, whether an organization has 100 or 100,000 users.

WordPerfect Office 4.0 introduces a fully distributed directory service
database. The directory service provides a common database representation
that eliminates the barriers of differing platform file formats.

WordPerfect Office 4.0 includes full directory synchronization, simplifying
the administration of large, distributed WordPerfect Office systems.
Changes that an administrator makes to one directory service database are
automatically distributed to other databases. Directory import is
supported with other directory services to share addresses and users.

Initially, directory import to Novell, Banyan, IBM LAN Server and ASCII
delimited files will be supported, with future support for X.500 slated.
Administrators can administer the WordPerfect Office system from a central
location, even in a large, multi-platform environment, or distribute
administration responsibilities to various sites within a wide-area
network.
