Among the remaining avid users of WordPerfect were many [[law firms]] and government offices,<ref name=Brinkley.NYT2K/> which favored WordPerfect features such as macros, reveal codes, and the ability to access a large range of formatting options such as left-right block indent directly with key combinations rather than having to click through several layers of submenus as Microsoft Word often requires. Fast typists appreciated the ability to keep their hands on the keyboard, rather than reaching for the mouse as often as would be required if they were using Microsoft Word.  WordPerfect users may also define any key or key combination to do what they want, such as typing phrases they often use or executing macros.  The user interface stayed almost identical from WPWin 6 through at least WP X5 (2010) and file formats did not change, as incompatible new formats would require keeping both obsolete software versions and obsolete hardware around just to access old documents.

Corel catered to these markets, with, for example, a major sale to the [[United States Department of Justice]] in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Section/Display&sid=1047022946165&cid=1047024657698&gid=1047022985433 |title = Corel Graphics, Digital Media & Productivity Software |website = www.corel.com }}</ref> A related factor is that WordPerfect Corporation was particularly responsive to feature requests from the legal profession, incorporating many features particularly useful to that niche market; those features have been continued in subsequent versions, usually directly accessible with key combinations. WordPerfect still had a level of presence among such users into the 2020s.<ref name="pcmag-2021-review"/> Similarly, as of 2024, the [[French judiciary]] continues to use WordPerfect,<ref>{{Cite web |first1 = Cyril |last1 = Jeanningros |last2 = Tardy-Joubert |first2 =  Sophie |date = January 2, 2022 |title = On parle de la dématérialisation de la justice, mais la réalité est qu'on travaille sur Word perfect, un logiciel créé en 1996 ! |trans-title = We speak about the dematerialization of justice, but the reality is that we work on WordPerfect, software created in 1996! |url = https://www.actu-juridique.fr/juridictions/on-parle-de-la-dematerialisation-de-la-justice-mais-la-realite-est-quon-travaille-sur-word-perfect-un-logiciel-cree-en-1996/ |access-date = March 16, 2024 |website = Actu-Juridique |language = fr }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Le confinement, crash test de la transformation numérique de la justice - Administratif {{!}} Dalloz Actualité |url=https://www.dalloz-actualite.fr/flash/confinement-crash-test-de-transformation-numerique-de-justice |access-date=March 16, 2024 |website=www.dalloz-actualite.fr |language=fr}}</ref> and continues to offer training for its use.<ref>{{Cite web |title = e-formation |url = https://formation.enm.justice.fr/Pages/e-learning.aspx |access-date = March 16, 2024 |website = formation.enm.justice.fr }}</ref>
