WORDPERFECT PRESENTATIONS FOR WINDOWS FIRST TO SUPPORT NEW ROLAND AUDIO
PRODUCER CARD

Joint Development Brings Award-Winning Sound Technology to Presentation
Graphics 

OREM, Utah--June 28, 1993--WordPerfect Corporation and Roland Corporation
US today announced that WordPerfect Presentations 2.0 for Windows will be
the first presentation graphics application to support the new Roland
Audio Producer (RAP-10) card. The RAP-10 card is the first to bring
together CD-quality digital audio (WAV) and MIDI sound files in a
compositional format, allowing users to fully edit and synchronize
multiple audio files for use in presentations.

"As a leader in the high-end audio market, Roland provides the kind of
outstanding products that we want our users to have access to," said
Shirley Chu, product marketing director at WordPerfect Corporation. "Our
support of the RAP-10, with its ability to combine and edit WAV and MIDI
files in a single track, gives WordPerfect Presentations users access to
the best sound technology available. This quickly translates into more
exciting, higher quality presentations."

According to Mark Calkins, vice president of corporate and strategic
marketing at WordPerfect Corporation, the work with Roland is part of an
ongoing commitment to support and take advantage of the best available
technologies. "Aligning ourselves with technology leaders is an area in
which WordPerfect Corporation is becoming more aggressive," said Calkins.

In addition to the ability to combine and edit WAV and MIDI files, the
RAP-10 will give WordPerfect Presentations users greater control over
audio synchronization in their presentations. Roland's Audio Toolworks
software, which ships with the RAP-10, will allow users to synchronize
audio tracks independent of slide transitions.

Standard features on the RAP-10 include digital signal processing for
reverb and chorus, a 16-part multitimbral sample-based synthesizer that is
compatible with General MIDI, two tracks of digital hard-disk recording in
mono or one track in stereo, scrub editing, pitch shift, filtering and
panning. A Wave Composer capable of merging up to 16 different audio files
over time for automated dubbing and an integrated Sound Canvas synthesizer
that allows fully orchestrated performances are also included.

"Roland is redefining the standard for 'business audio' to meet the
requirements of all business applications, not just voice annotation,"
said Tom White, general manager of computer music products at Roland
Corporation US. "We are especially pleased to have the endorsement of
WordPerfect Corporation because of their recognized leadership in business
software on DOS, Windows and Macintosh platforms."

Support for the RAP-10 card adds to the list of features and support that
are positioning WordPerfect Presentations for Windows as the industry's
most comprehensive presentation graphics package. Included in the product
are advanced presentation, painting, drawing, charting and text handling
tools, as well as support for Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), the
TWAIN image acquisition standard and direct CD ROM Sound

As part of a co-marketing agreement, a coupon from Roland for $200 off the
suggested list price of the RAP-10 will be included in the shipping
package of WordPerfect Presentations for Windows. Both WordPerfect
Presentations for Windows and the RAP-10 card are due to ship in July.
WordPerfect Presentations for Windows will retail for $495, while the
suggested list price for the RAP-10 is $599.
