WORDPERFECT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES WORDPERFECT 5.2 FOR WINDOWS
New Upgrade to Include Grammatik 5 and ATM

OREM, Utah, November 2, 1992--WordPerfect Corporation today
announced WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows, an upgrade to WordPerfect
5.1 for Windows that will include a variety of new tools,
features and enhancements. WordPerfect 5.2 will ship with
Grammatik 5 from Reference Software International, as well as
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) and a selection of fonts created
specifically for WordPerfect.

The upgrade will incorporate the new WordPerfect QuickFinder, an
indexing and text retrieval feature, as well as e-mail
capabilities, support for Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), and
new macros and Button Bars to make the product easier to use. The
product is scheduled to ship the end of November.

"The addition of Grammatik and ATM illustrates our commitment to
work with other companies and offer the best technology to our
users," said Devin Durrant, director of WordPerfect for Windows
Marketing. "Making the product mail-enabled and supporting OLE
further indicates our direction to integrate well with other
applications."

NEW TOOLS
Grammatik 5. WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows will ship with Grammatik
5, the best-selling grammar checker from Reference Software
International (a $99 value). With more than two million users,
Grammatik is the most popular writing improvement tool on the
market. It will be available from a pull-down menu in WordPerfect
and works as easily as a spell checker to proofread word
processing documents for grammar, style, punctuation and spelling
errors.

Adobe Type Manager (ATM) and New Fonts.  WordPerfect Corporation
recently signed a licensing agreement with Adobe Systems
Incorporated to include Adobe Type Manager in WordPerfect for
Windows and other WPCorp programs. Along with ATM, WordPerfect
5.2 will ship with 13 fonts created specifically by WordPerfect
Corporation for WordPerfect for Windows, giving users a wider
range of screen and printer fonts. These fonts will work with any
other Windows application that supports ATM.

"In addition to including a grammar checker and new fonts, we are
focusing on tools that make the product easier to use," said
Durrant. "New macros and Button Bars will give users greater
functionality and illustrate how easy it is to create custom
Button Bars for any task. The QuickMenu makes Button Bars even
more accessible."

New Button Bars.  In response to customer requests, WordPerfect
5.2 will ship with eight new Button Bars:  Layout, Generate,
Font, Page, Tools, Merge, Macros and Graphics.

QuickMenu.  Clicking anywhere on a Button Bar with the secondary
mouse button brings up a QuickMenu of other Button Bars. This
makes it easy to switch among a variety of Button Bars and
quickly access favorite features. The Button Bar QuickMenu also
includes editing and setup options.

New Macros.  WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows includes a variety of
new macros that have been popular requests from users. A Pleading
macro creates custom pleading forms; a Replace macro will search
and replace specific formatting codes in a document; and a
Barcode macro inserts a US Postnet barcode anywhere in a
document. An improved Glossary macro lets users create
abbreviations for commonly-used words or phrases; users type the
abbreviation in a document and run the macro to insert the longer
term in place of the abbreviation.

NEW FEATURES
QuickFinder.  A new indexing featurethe QuickFinderoffers some
of the fastest indexing and text retrieval in the industry.
WordPerfect can already search files for keywords, but by using
QuickFinder users can index groups of files to dramatically speed
up searching. Users define which files to indexfrom any drive,
directory, or even a directory and all its subdirectoriesand
QuickFinder will index every word in those files and build an
index file about 5 percent of the size of the selected files.
QuickFinder can index a variety of file formats.

Using Find Files from the File pull-down menu, users can search
any index for files either by name or by specific words in a
document. Users can search for combinations of words, words by
proximity, and can use standard Boolean operators.

"Our new indexing and text retrieval capabilities are unique to a
word processor," said Greg Blackham, vice president of
development at WordPerfect Corporation. "QuickFinder compares
favorably with standalone indexing packages in the speed of index
creation, the small size of the index, and the nearly
instantaneous search results."

Mail-enabled. WordPerfect 5.2 will also be mail-enabled so users
can send a document on screen immediately to someone via e-mail.
By clicking on the name of a mail package from the File menu,
users can insert selected text into the message or attach an
entire document with comments. WordPerfect will support
WordPerfect Mail for Windows (part of WordPerfect Office for
Windows) and any other e-mail program following the VIM or MAPI
standards such as Lotus cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail or Da Vinci
email.

Object Linking and Embedding (OLE).  With version 5.2,
WordPerfect for Windows will become an OLE client, allowing users
to embed elements from any Windows 3.1 OLE server application in
their WordPerfect documents. By double-clicking on those linked
elements within a document, users can launch the application used
to create them.

ENHANCEMENTS
WordPerfect 5.2 will include better support for Windows printer
drivers, allowing users to print on multiple paper sizes and to
use portrait and landscape orientations in the same document.
This change will virtually eliminate the "Updating Printer
Information" message previously seen when changing orientations.
If users need to update printer information (such as when new
fonts are installed), updating will be much faster. The Envelope
macro will be enhanced to work with Windows printer drivers, and
has been improved with options to select from multiple addresses
and to position the US PostNet barcode.

Other enhancements include a graphical installation, better
network installation, conversion for Microsoft Word for Windows
2.0 and Lotus Ami Pro 2.0, and an enhanced RTF conversion. The
Speller has a simplified interface, and also finds and displays
misspelled words and suggestions faster.

PRICING
When WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows begins shipping, licensed
WordPerfect for Windows users can purchase an Upgrade Kit for
$39.95US/$48.CAN from resellers or by calling WordPerfect Orders
at (800) 321-4566. The Upgrade Kit includes an upgrade guide
