Originally produced by the same WordPerfect Corporation that originated the program, it was sold, first to Novell? and then to Corel?. Soon it was bundled with [Quattro Pro]? and other programs into an applications suite called Wordperfect Office. During the Novell period, WordPerfect was late in coming to market with a Windows version, and the program suffered a decline in popularity from which it has never recovered. Only law firms and a few universities remain avid users. Nor was the attempt, in the Corel era, to promote it as the standard word processor on Linux systems to prove succesful.
