Corel Launches New WordPerfect Bundle For Small Law Firms
New Legal Quick Start Bundle Delivers The Most Feature-Rich, Cost-Effective Solution For Complete Office Productivity and Practice Management

Ottawa, ON (October 27, 2004) - Corel today introduced the WordPerfect® Office 12 Legal Quick Start bundle, a new value-priced combination of two of the legal community’s favorite software applications–WordPerfect Office 12 and Amicus Attorney® practice management software, plus WordPerfect OfficeReady Business Essentials, a comprehensive collection of pre-formatted document templates.

Offered at a suggested retail price (SRP) of only $299.99US, the Legal Quick Start Bundle provides three leading productivity and practice management tools for approximately 25% less than the SRP of Microsoft® Office 2003 alone. In addition, the Legal Quick Start bundle can save buyers as much as $175US off the price of buying the applications separately, making it ideal for new law offices, solo practitioners or those making technology upgrades.

A desktop standard for more than 20 million users worldwide, a large number of whom work in the legal community, WordPerfect Office delivers an unparalleled feature set, including Publishto- PDF, Microsoft Office-compatibility, the formatting control of Reveal Codes, and an industryleading set of integrated legal tools.

With this bundle, Corel is extending its ability to meet the very specific requirements of new and smaller law firms. These firms need more complete, integrated practice management and office productivity software at very affordable prices without restrictive license agreements. To date, larger software providers have not catered to these requirements.

“Today small law firms are under pressure from high software costs and complex licensing schemes,” said Les Hansen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Gavel and Gown Software, Inc., developers of Amicus Attorney. “The Legal Quick Start Bundle combines two of the most trusted brands serving the legal community to alleviate this pressure, providing a powerful and value-priced combination of productivity and practice management tools that make it easy for small firms to efficiently manage their businesses and interact with clients.”

“Any lawyer who has been forced into using another office suite will be thrilled with WordPerfect Office 12,” said Richard Carriere, General Manager for Office Productivity at Corel. “It provides the tools lawyers love, opens, edits and saves smoothly to Microsoft Office formats, and offers the best PDF capabilities of any office suite. With WordPerfect Office 12, law offices can now confidently exchange files with customers in whatever format they prefer.”

Available now across the U.S. and Canada, the WordPerfect Office 12 Legal Quick Start Bundle can be purchased online at www.wordperfect.com/quickstart or via leading resellers including CDW, Dell.com, PCMall, Programmer’s Paradise and Softchoice. The WordPerfect Office 12 Legal Quick Start Bundle may also be licensed under Corel’s simple and flexible licensing programs.
