  • WordPerfect in the Top 10 - One award I could live without

    ZDNet ran an article on the 10 biggest failures in IT history last Friday. I usually like to be part of top 10s, but maybe not this one. But, there was WordPerfect right at #8 on the list. Well, not so much WordPerfect, but Corel, for failing to topple Microsoft with this great technology. I can't speak for decisions made 20 or even 10 years ago. But, I have always been competitive, so I like to...

  • Do any lawyers out there work on TOAs?

    Hi Folks, Just polling community members as to whether anyone works on TOAs (either manual or using some sort of tool or WPO itself). Would love to dialog on how you do things. Regards, Jay

  • September eNewsletter part 1

    Hi folks, Sometimes our marketing folks create content that doesn't get used. Below is an example of a recent Newsletter that will not get sent out due to a high volume of eMails already being sent to our user base (we just had a significant Digital Media product launch). The content is still very valid for users of this forum though, so I decided to paste it for your enjoyment. Cheers, Jay The...

  • In praise of dependable technologies

    A really fascinating web preso recaping COBOL , was released today by eWeek. This programming language has been around for 50 years, has over $2T invested in it and still boasts BILLIONS of lines of new code per year. Amazing how important some of our older technologies are to us. I remember wondering why my dad would program in COBOL for the Federal Government 20 years ago versus some of the "hipper"...

  • Next version thoughts

    Hi Folks, We continue to think about what people would like to see in the next version. So, I thought I would create a new area on our site to get your direct feedback (the area I created earlier for new feature requests is getting clogged by support type stuff). Under the Forums->WordPerfect-> path you will find a new forum called "Next version X4+ thoughts". We would love your input...

  • What types of fish will you catch?

    I am just back from 3 weeks vacation and had time to reflect on many things. Some of them productivity... My son and I went fishing during our holiday. I was tickled by how he fished. He changed lures frequently, threw his hooks far - sometimes onto land, and then changed to dangle them over the side of the boat 3 feet down so he could see them. In my opinion, his hook spent more time out of the water...

  • PerfectScript Example 1 Part 1 - Retrieve filenames from a directory

    Welcome to the first of what I hope to be a series of PerfectScript macro discussions and examples. These examples have been derived from actual customer workflows, Corel in-house procedures and some useful stuff from the web. While they aren't tutorials as such, hopefully they can provide insight into some of the tasks that can be automated by PerfectScript and perhaps trigger ideas for your own...

  • Wave goodbye to eMail? Not yet...

    Tired of how eMail currently works? Wish you could find something to replace the current system? There is a very interesting demonstration of a new preview technology out of Google - named Google Wave - that came out of the Google I/O Conference. The developer team's intent was to step back and try to invent how people would eMail today without any legacy baggage of how things have been done historically...

  • Save time by automating with macros

    Hi Folks, A great feature of WordPerfect is the ability to automate what actually gets created, so that you can save time by using WordPerfect to complete what would normally be repetitive tasks. Think of how many times you may create a signature at the bottom of a letter, grab data from some other place (like a database), or change dates in a document. Larger organizations utliize macros a great deal...

    Social media continues to get people's attention - "How do we leverage FaceBook?", "Should we post customer reviews?", "What is Twitter?" are all things being discussed around board tables across many organizations. This site is one aspect of our approach into social media. And, I must say, there has been a lot of good feedback for us. So, I am always interested in...
