NOVELL ANNOUNCES WORDPERFECT 3.5 FOR THE MACINTOSH

Offers New Innovations and Technologies for Internet Publishing, Greater
Performance and Ease of Use

OREM, Utah -- July 17, 1995 -- Novell, Inc. today announced WordPerfect 3.5
for the Macintosh, the first word processor to provide Internet publishing
and editing capabilities for Macintosh users. WordPerfect 3.5 for the
Macintosh, the fastest, most "Mac-compatible" word processor available,
enables users to create and edit Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
documents and use the included Netscape Navigator browser to navigate the
World Wide Web. Other innovative technologies in the product include
text-to-speech and new automation features that make the product simpler
and easier to use.

WordPerfect 3.5 for the Macintosh continues to offer greater support for
Apple technologies than other Macintosh word processors, allowing
Macintosh users to maximize the strengths of the Macintosh operating
system. New in WordPerfect 3.5 are speed enhancements, the ability to
"speak" text using MacinTalk, Bookmarks with "hot links," Make it Fit,
Easy Envelopes and more than 85 document templates.

"WordPerfect 3.5 for the Macintosh offers the best price/performance value
of any word processor on the market and we are finding more and more
Microsoft Word users are choosing WordPerfect," said Mark Calkins, vice
president and general manager of Novell's Business Applications.
"WordPerfect 3.5 takes advantage of the strategy and tools we have
developed for bringing Internet publishing and document interchange into
the mainstream--WordPerfect 3.5 is more than just a word processor, it's
now a communication tool."

First Macintosh Word Processor with Complete Internet Publishing Tools

WordPerfect 3.5 is the first Macintosh word processor to make Internet
publishing as easy for users as simple word processing. With the new
Internet publishing tools, building and maintaining a Home Page is a snap,
as users can import and export documents from the Internet without having
to use a separate difficult-to-use HTML editor. Users can convert
WordPerfect documents to the HTML format or view any Internet document
(with the appropriate Internet connectivity software) using the included
Netscape Navigator browser. In addition, any combination of graphics,
video and fonts can be viewed using the included Novell Envoy viewer.

Bookmarks Simplify Information Management in Documents

Bookmarks enable users to create "hot links," which link parts of a
document to other places in the same document or to specific locations in
completely different documents. For example, a report on population growth
could contain a bookmark linked to a second document containing U.S.
Census data. By clicking on the bookmark, the user is brought directly to
the linked census information. Bookmarks can link to Internet Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) addresses on the World Wide Web or to non-Internet
documents.

Ability to "Speak" Text

WordPerfect 3.5 is also the first word processor to integrate MacinTalk,
the text-to-speech capabilities developed by Apple. MacinTalk allows users
to select a document or block of text and have it spoken by their
Macintosh for easy proofreading or to bring presentations or
demonstrations to life.

Automatic Page Adjustment with Make It Fit

To eliminate users' frustrations with manually adjusting documents to fit
on a specific number of pages using trial and error, WordPerfect 3.5
includes the Make It Fit tool. To fit text onto the required number of
pages, Make It Fit automatically adjusts the margins, font size, line
height and spacing. Make It Fit is ideal for projects such as a letter,
which must fit on one page of company stationary, or for any other
document where there are space restrictions.

"I used to be a Microsoft Word user until I switched to WordPerfect 3.5,"
said Peter Weil, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin, who
worked with the beta version of WordPerfect 3.5. "WordPerfect 3.5
surpasses the competition with more advanced performance features and
speed. Currently, I am writing my Ph.D. dissertation and some of the new
functions in WordPerfect 3.5 such as Bookmarks, Hyperlinks, Make It Fit
and various templates helped me considerably in preparing my thesis."

Other New Features for Greater Ease of Use

The new ruler interface in WordPerfect 3.5 is now more streamlined,
improving the visual impact and usability of the ruler. Envelopes are now
simple and easy to print. The new Easy Envelope function provides an
on-screen picture of the envelope, making placement of information simple.
Also, users can now merge files for bulk printing of envelopes. More than
85 new templates are also included with WordPerfect 3.5, which automate
functions and make them easier to perform.

Pricing and Availability

WordPerfect 3.5 for the Macintosh is available on disk and CD-ROM at a much
lower price than previous versions of the product. The new deluxe CD-ROM
version includes "extras" not included in the disk version such as Envoy
1.0a, the portable document publisher and viewer; AppWare 1.2, a
cross-application integration tool; and additional templates, macros and
clip art. The suggested retail price is $189, and a full upgrade package
will be available for the suggested retail price of $89. The upgrade price
is available to users upgrading from any previous WordPerfect version (any
platform), any competing word processor, or any Works or Macintosh suite
product. WordPerfect 3.5 will be available in August 1995.
