Overall enhancements

Over the past decade, I have proposed numerous potential improvements to WordPerfect, which I have broached to your highest level technicians, who have advised me that while they would make worthy improvements, seeking their incorporation into your software lay beyond their mandate within your organization. What has been no less discouraging is that during this same time period, you have not released a new version of your software with any significant changes. This has led me to conclude that ultimately you are not interested in doing anything to modify WordPerfect's current platform. At this point I fear that your corporate administration has decided to allow WordPerfect to die by user attrition, rather than seek to enhance it in ways that could potentially garner you a significantly broader market share. As I have tried to suggest in the past, unless you thoroughly distinguish your software from its competitors on the market, you will witness WordPerfect's eventual demise. Overall, I would suggest that you incorporate features found at present only in document publishing and spreadsheet software (many of which could be adopted and enhanced from other Corel applications), so as to create a unified document creation and publishing tool that is easy to use. Such a unified platform would eliminate users' needs at present to master the intricacies of other software on the market, in order to publically circulate the documents they generate. I thus urge you again to reconsider your conceptualization of WordPerfect as a product (although you may eventually wish to retitle it to distinguish it from its past and present incarnations). For those who know it well (and there lies a key issue on which your company need to address its attention far more fully), it remains without peer in the word processing field, and unquestionably deserves to be both enhanced and continued. However this will not happen as you have currently positioned it.
