WORDPERFECT CORPORATION SHIPS INTERIM RELEASE OF WORDPERFECT WORKS FOR
MACINTOSH 

Enhancements Made in Every Module 

NEW YORK--June 29, 1993--WordPerfect Corporation began shipping today
WordPerfect Works for Macintosh 1.2.1, an interim release of the
integrated software package. Enhancements have been made in each module
including the word processor, spreadsheet with charting, database, draw,
paint and communications.

"Throughout the Works application, users will notice faster scrolling
within modules and switching between modules, improved memory handling of
large documents, better clipboard handling under System 6 and enhanced
compatibility with inits and system extensions," said Mark Simonsen,
director of development, consumer products division. "Printing within the
word processor, database and spreadsheet and launching the application are
also noticeably faster."

In addition to faster printing, the word processor offers 500 percent
faster scrolling and enhancements to the find and replace feature, speller
and thesaurus.

New tool bar buttons in the spreadsheet include shortcuts for dollar,
percent and comma formatting, allowing users to quickly format cells.

Another enhancement within the spreadsheet module includes generally faster
formatting. An "intelligent delete" feature lets users delete entire
blocks of cells at one time. Improved charting within the spreadsheet
allows users to accurately chart a wider range of values, including
negative numbers.

Within the database, users will find better ability to import and export
larger files because of improved memory handling. Label printing is now
handled better within the database because of improved compatibility with
a variety of laser printers.

The paint module, when used with the Macintosh Plus, SE, Classic and
Powerbook 100, includes better handling of background and foreground
colors on black and white screens.

WordPerfect Work's communication module now includes the updated Apple
Modem Tool that will allow users to take advantage of Apple's latest
improvements to the Communications Toolbox. Review and scrollback buffer
handling are also improved within this module.

Three new sample documents have been added including a check register,
address database and loan amortization. All sample documents within
WordPerfect Works may be used as templates.

A network version of the interim release is also available that lets users
launch from a single copy of WordPerfect Works on a network. The network
version provides a new file sharing feature that allows multiple users to
access files.

WordPerfect Works 1.2.1 will have a suggested retail price of $249
U.S./$295 CAN. Upgrades from version 1.2 or Beagleworks will list for $10
U.S./$12 CAN plus shipping and handling. Customers who currently own
