Novell acquired WordPerfect Corporation in April 1994 and shipped an upgrade of Presentations, Novell Presentations 3.0 for Windows, as part of the Novell PerfectOffice 3.0 for Windows productivity suite in December 1994.Ĭorel acquired PerfectOffice in January 1996 and released the first 32-bit version of Presentations in May of that year. Due to severe usability and performance issues, the first Windows version was not considered a serious contender in the market.
The first version, WordPerfect Presentations 2.0 for DOS, appeared in 1993, and was followed by a Microsoft Windows port of the DOS version a few months later. It originally evolved from DrawPerfect, a MS-DOS-based drawing program released in 1990 by the now-defunct WordPerfect Corporation. Presentations shares much of its code with WordPerfect.
