XML is similar to HTML except that users can define their own data formats. WP Office allows documents, spreadsheets, and presentations to be exported directly into HTML to be published on a Web page, eliminating the need for separate HTML editors. HTML is the standard format used by Web pages.
WP Office also has the ability to export files in portable formats such as HTML, XML, PDF, and RTF. Later in the chapter, we will discuss importing and exporting MS Office files. Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents are imported into WP Office with little trouble. To get decent performance, you must have a Pentium 200 or better with 64MB of RAM and 540MB of free disk space.Ĭorel spent a lot of time making sure WP Office could read and write to Microsoft Office documents. Please note that WP Office is NOT for low-end systems. Once the application is loaded, response is reasonably quick on a decent computer system. Loading a second application only takes a few seconds, since WINE and the font server are already loaded. Loading a WP Office application takes about 30 seconds to two minutes. Even six-point fonts are easily readable! The font server also allows the use of Windows fonts and TrueType fonts by simply copying them to the font directory! WP Office has some of the best-looking fonts of any Linux application. The standard version comes with over 100 fonts and the deluxe version comes with over 12,000 fonts. WP Office also comes with its own font server. While this has little effect on the speed of the Linux version, it does take it longer to load. Instead of writing separate versions for Linux and Windows, Corel decided to use the WINE libraries for low-level compatibility on Linux. WordPerfect Office (WP Office) for Linux comes off the same code base as the Windows version and thus both versions look almost identical. The deluxe version also comes with a database (Paradox), more fonts, more clip art, the game Railroad Tycoon, and a bean-filled penguin toy ( ). It has all the same functions as Microsoft Office, including word processing (WordPerfect), a spreadsheet (Quatro Pro), presentation ( Presentations), calendaring (CorelCENTRAL), and Web publishing (Trellix). Although it doesn't have near the market share of Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect Office is still the second most popular productivity suite on the market.
