Corel Corporation and its subsidiaries are pleased to announce the updated version of Corel WordPerfect 3.5 for Macintosh and Power Macintosh. The new Corel version includes a large collection of popular clipart, photos, sounds and fonts, along with MasterJuggler Pro, the comprehensive font management utility. Language tools for writing in Spanish, French and German are also included. The product is expected to ship by the end of August.

Corel WordPerfect 3.5 is an updated version of the two time Eddy award-winning WordPerfect 3.5, previously shipped by Novell, Inc. WordPerfect was the first word processor to ship as accelerated for Power Macintosh and is an established leader in support for Apple technologies.

``Corel is excited about the business prospects we see for supporting the Macintosh platform. We think the Mac will play a major role in our future,'' said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel Corporation. ``WordPerfect for Macintosh has traditionally given users greater choice and flexibility in utilizing new Apple technologies and Corel will continue to be the industry leader in word processing innovation.''

The new Corel package includes a collection of more than 150 TrueType fonts, 5400 clip art images, 187 textures, 67 sounds and 200 stock photos. For managing new fonts and sounds, MasterJuggler(TM) 2.0 Pro, the comprehensive font, sound and desk accessory utility, is also provided. Spanish, French and German language tools including a spell checker and thesaurus - previously sold separately - are now also included in the new Corel package.

To continue helping users put the Internet to work, Corel has included the updated Netscape Navigator browser version 2.02. Updated HTML features include an HTML button bar and macros for creating custom HTML forms and borders. Also, the HTML export now converts PICT images to JPEG format for easy viewing on the World Wide Web.

Corel WordPerfect 3.5 easily converts many popular document types including Microsof Word versions 4, 5, and 6, RTF (Rich Text Format) and Corel WordPerfect 7 for Windows 95. A non-WordPerfect document can be opened directly from the desktop into WordPerfect via support for Macintosh Easy Open. Additional document types can be converted through support for XTND and MacLink Plus conversion filters.

Highlights of Corel WordPerfect 3.5 include:

- Updated ruler interface

- Print Envelope Feature

- Automated Templates

- Make It Fit(TM)

- Text to Speech with MacinTalk(TM) (System 7.5 only)

- Bookmarks with hyperlinks

- Internet Publishing Tools, with HTML import and export
