   Just for the record, a couple of years ago I update my Word perfect to   
   the latest version 2021.   I will update to the next version of Word   
   Perfect when it is released.  It come as a suite with a word processor,   
   a spreadsheet, a presentation. The more expensive version comes with a   
   database.   
      
   It is currently on my computer running on Windows 11
