But how are they exporting such a modern document format? Holee crap, because it's still being sold an updated! https://www.wordperfect.com/en/

And the suite includes Quattro Pro, for those that are itchin' for that spreadsheet-flavored blast from the past. If I didn't already have the Apple suite on my Mac (which does all I need out of an office suite), I'd spend the $50 for home/student version just for the lulz.

Look at those screenshots! It's still a Windows 95 look'n'feel (which some HN users might enjoy).

I'd imagine the lawyers who have worked with it for 10-20 years or more are very grateful that its layout hasn't changed since 95. They've got better things to do than to hunt down a button that moved between Office 2016 and Copilot 365 (if that's what it's even called today).

You have got the trial version of Wordperfect for free, not sure it has everything (Quattro Pro) since you have to hunt around for other Corel products to get the trial versions (Corel Draw).

It is amazing to think how valuable Wordperfect originally was, for Microsoft to be mean to them, meaning they went from worth billions to worth nothing.

I tried it a few years ago just for the heck of it and it wasn't bad really.
