Since its acquisition by [[Corel]] in 1996, WordPerfect for Windows was officially been known as '''Corel WordPerfect'''. 

On January 17, 2006, Corel announced '''WordPerfect X3'''. Corel is an original member of the [[OASIS (organization)|OASIS]] Technical Committee on the [[OpenDocument]] Format, and Paul Langille, a senior Corel developer, is one of the original four authors of the OpenDocument specification.

In January 2006, subscribers to Corel's electronic newsletter were informed that WordPerfect 13 was scheduled for release later in 2006. The subsequent release of X3 (identified as "13" internally and in registry entries) has been met with generally positive reviews, due to new features including a unique [[PDF]] import capability, [[metadata removal tool]]s, integrated search and online resources and other features.

Version X3 was described by [[CNET]] in January 2006 as a "winner", "a feature-packed productivity suite that's just as easy to use&nbsp;— and in many ways more innovative than&nbsp;— industry-goliath Microsoft Office 2003." CNET went on to describe X3 as "a solid upgrade for long-time users", but that "Die-hard Microsoft fans may want to wait to see what Redmond has up its sleeve with the radical changes expected within the upcoming Microsoft Office 12."<ref>{{cite web |url = http://reviews.cnet.com/office-suites/corel-wordperfect-office-x3/4505-3524_7-31660599.html?tag=return |title = WordPerfect Office X3 review |website = CNET }}</ref>

Although the released version of X3 at the time did not support the [[Office Open XML|OOXML]] or [[OpenDocument]] formats, a beta was released that supported both.<ref name="ODF-OOXML">{{cite web |last = Corel |title = OOXML/ODF beta for WordPerfect Office now available! |year = 2007 |url = http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1191009902786 |access-date = November 15, 2007 }}</ref>

Reports surfaced late in January 2006 that Apple's [[iWork]] had leapfrogged WordPerfect Office as the leading alternative to Microsoft Office. This claim was soon debunked<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1495 |title = iWork has no game against Office or WordPerfect |website = AppleInsider |access-date = February 17, 2006 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060202023948/http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1495 |archive-date = February 2, 2006 |url-status = dead }}</ref> after industry analyst Joe Wilcox described JupiterResearch usage surveys that showed WordPerfect as the No. 2 office suite behind Microsoft Office in the consumer, small and medium businesses, and enterprise markets with a roughly 15 percent share in each market.

In April 2008, Corel released its '''WordPerfect Office X4''' [[office suite]] containing the new X4 version of WordPerfect which includes support for [[PDF]] editing, [[OpenDocument]] and [[Office Open XML]]. However, X4 does not include support for editing PDF's containing images in JPEG2000 format, a format used by [[Adobe Acrobat]] 9.

In March 2010, Corel released its '''WordPerfect Office X5''' office suite, which contains the new X5 version of WordPerfect. This version includes improved support for PDF, Microsoft Office 2007, [[OpenDocument]], and [[Office Open XML]]. The new release includes integration with Microsoft SharePoint and other web services geared towards government and business users.

In April 2012, Corel released its '''WordPerfect Office X6''' office suite, which contains the new X6 version of WordPerfect. The new release adds multi-document/monitor support, new macros, Windows 8 preview support, and an eBook publisher.<ref name="Welcome to WordPerfect Office X6">{{cite web |url = https://corelblogs.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/welcome-to-wordperfect-office-x6/ |title = Welcome to WordPerfect Office X6 |first = Peter |last = Hanschke |date = April 26, 2012 |access-date = August 7, 2017 |archive-date = August 8, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170808001337/https://corelblogs.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/welcome-to-wordperfect-office-x6/ |url-status = dead }}</ref>

In May 2021,<ref>{{cite press release |url = https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/05/06/2224653/0/en/WordPerfect-Office-2021-Boosts-Productivity-with-Updates-to-User-Favorite-Features.html |title = WordPerfect Office 2021 Boosts Productivity with Updates to User-Favorite Features |date = May 6, 2021 }}</ref> Corel released its '''WordPerfect Office 2021''' office suite, which superseded versions x7 through x9 and version 2020. New features include creating fillable PDFs, built in [[Bates numbering]] (since X7), saving to opendocument and [[EPUB|ePub]] formats (since v2020), and saving and opening Microsoft Office openXML formats (which did not work in x9).<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.wordperfect.com/en/product/office-suite/#whats-new |title = WordPerfect Office 2021 &#124; Free Trial }}</ref> In a review, ''[[PC Magazine]]'' said that "WordPerfect Office is the one and only Windows office application suite that isn't a workalike for Microsoft Office. ... WordPerfect [is] the only office app that gives you total control over every detail of the documents you produce." The review noted that WordPerfect still had a significant presence in the legal domain, "where it's the only app that offers both advanced legal-formatting features and a document management system that doesn't rely on Microsoft's networking software." However, the magazine noted that the WordPerfect Office 2021 user interface "has an old-school look and feel that won't attract many new users", that it does not support real-time collaboration workflows, and that the product only runs on Windows and not [[Macintosh]] or [[mobile device|mobile]] platforms.<ref name="pcmag-2021-review">{{cite news |url = https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/corel-wordperfect-office |title = Corel WordPerfect Office Review |first = Edward |last = Mendelson |magazine = PC Magazine |date = February 2, 2022 }}</ref>
