This is the first word processor to be able to import PDF documents without having to copy and paste. Also, most tables will retain their formatting.

This is all about selling a solution to small business instead of a value-priced PC with a glob of software. This is a tier one PC maker and a tier one software vendor both offering very aggressive value price.

Our strategy is to offer a choice to PC users. We offer all the features of Microsoft Office and, since we started offering WordPerfect through OEMs in 2003, a large number of people have chosen us rather than Microsoft products.

This is a far richer offering than what was offered previously, and that was a driver for the deal.

With WordPerfect Office X3, Corel has created a powerful solution that enables users to create, edit, and re-use their content, particularly through its new ability to import, edit and export PDF, as well as its exceptional Microsoft Office compatibility.
