Hi,
It isn't likely. Especially now that M$ has bought 24% of Corel. True, it's
non-voting stock, but the borg has a new victim in its teeth. WP's days are
numbered.

I was sad to see WordPerfect lose its hold on the market. To this day,
WordPerfect's recent versions are superior to Word's in almost every facet,
not just reveal codes. Sure, I am extremely biased. I used to be a
WordPerfect Certified Instructor. But, I haven't used it professionally for
2-3 years now -- it's not what the market uses.
Maybe, with the Microsoft shake up, we'll see a WordPerfect resurgence. I
won't hold my breath, but I would love to see it happen.
