'''WordPerfect Suite and WordPerfect Office''' is an [[office suite]] developed by [[Corel Corporation]]. It originates from [[Borland|Borland Software Corporation]]'s Borland Office, released in 1993 to compete against [[Microsoft Office]] and [[AppleWorks]]. Borland's suite bundled three key applications: WordPerfect, [[Quattro Pro]] and [[Paradox (database)|Paradox]]. Borland then sold the suite to [[Novell]] in 1994, which led to the addition of Novell Presentations and the now-defunct InfoCentral. It was then sold to Corel in 1996.
