corell bought Word Perfect. though it is basically accessible it has one major problem. you cannot select with NVDA. I typed some text and then placed the cursor at the beginning of that text and pressed shift+end and the text disappeared. even shift left arrow seems to delete the text.

 

i was going through their tutorial and they asked me to access the header/footer bar. i could not find it with screen review. Nor did any bar appear when reading the entire window.

Well wordperfect I am not sure.

 there are 2 versions, coral wordperfect which I have never really used.

Or wordperfect from my oldgames.7z in my dos thing, I have not actually bothered installing the load of 720 floppies but one could try it I guess.

WordPerfect still exists?

Apparently so.  Look under the Office section of the Products Dropdown on the Corel Home Page.

I can't say anything about it's accessibility, and if I were not already a long-term WordPerfect user, I'd look at other options, several excellent ones of which are free and accessible.
