Corel then also decided that WordPerfect and Quattro Pro would form the foundation of a new, full featured office suite at a time when Microsoft Office ruled over all. By February 1996, Corel had picked up all the WordPerfect and Quattro Pro pieces from Novell, and then began the long process of regaining consumer trust in a product that had languished for years without a major change except operating system compatibility updates. WordStar hiccuped and died, Lotus 123 went business-only, and WordPerfect and Borland's Quattro Pro struggled to find a place outside lawyers offices and medium sized businesses. Microsoft Word and Excel didn't earn any traction until Microsoft got them out of DOS and into Windows 3.11.
Back in the days when the computer word processor and spreadsheet were the sole kings of office productivity, five products ruled for many years: WordPerfect, Lotus 123, Quattro Pro, WordStar, and Microsoft Word bringing up the rear. Frankly, Office was not always the king of the mountain.
In all of the discussions of office productivity software, the predominant subject is usually Microsoft Office.
