Corel Corporation has announced a new beta version of Corel WordPerfect
Office that supports both the Open Document Format (ODF) and Microsoft
Office Open XML (OOXML), the default file format for Microsoft Office
2007. The new beta will allow users to open, view and edit ODF and OOXML
files and uniquely positions Corel as the industry's format-neutral
vendor of productivity software. The free beta will allow customers to
test WordPerfect Office's ODF and OOXML capabilities and evaluate which
of these emerging standards best meets their needs. The introduction of
ODF and OOXML support in the new WordPerfect Office XML Format Beta is
the latest example of Corel's long standing commitment to multi-format
compatibility. In addition to ODF and OOXML, the Beta supports Microsoft
Office binary formats, Adobe's PDF, Corel's own WordPerfect Office
formats and over 60 others. It also includes an integrated XML Editor
capable of creating custom XML publishing solutions. Corel backs the
multi-format support of WordPerfect Office with a full range of conversion
and consulting services delivered through its Professional Services group.
Information on the company's free document conversion assessments are
available online. Known worldwide as a full-featured and value-priced
alternative to Microsoft Office, WordPerfect Office works with
screen-reading and other accessibility technologies called for under
Section 508 of the United States Rehabilitation Act. Support for ODF
combined with such accessibility capabilities positions WordPerfect
Office to help foster ODF's broader adoption in public sector
organizations, where accessibility is a key requirement.
