Editing WordPerfect (section)

===Macintosh===
Development of WordPerfect for Macintosh did not run parallel to versions for other operating systems, and used version numbers unconnected to contemporary releases for DOS and Windows. Version 2 was a total rewrite, adhering more closely to Apple's UI guidelines. Version 3 took this further, making extensive use of the technologies Apple introduced in Systems 7.0–7.5, while remaining fast and capable of running well on older machines. Corel released version 3.5 in 1996, followed by the improved version 3.5e (for enhanced) in 1997. It was never updated beyond that, and the product was eventually discontinued. {{As of|2004}}, Corel has reiterated that the company has no plans to further develop WordPerfect for Macintosh (such as creating a native Mac OS X version).

For several years, Corel allowed Mac users to download version 3.5e from their website free of charge, and some Mac users still use this version. The download is still available at the Mac IO group<ref>[https://groups.io/g/wordperfectmac  WPMac] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191115212807/https://groups.io/g/wordperfectmac |date=November 15, 2019 }}. https://groups.io/g/wordperfectmac .

Like other Mac OS applications of its age, it requires the Classic environment on [[PowerPC]] Macs. While Intel Macs do not support Classic, emulators such as [[SheepShaver]], [[Basilisk II]] and [[vMac]] allow users to run WordPerfect on any Macintosh computer (or indeed any Linux computer). Users wishing to use a current release of WordPerfect can run the Windows version through [[Boot Camp (software)|Boot Camp]] or virtualization software, and through [[Darwine]] or [[CrossOver Mac]] with mixed results.
