Word-Perfect is a word processing program developed in the 1980s. It was one of the first programs to offer features such as spell-checking, formatting, and the ability to save documents in multiple formats. The term 'Word-Perfect' is derived from the Latin phrase 'VERBATIM, ' which means 'word for word.' VERBATIM is an 8-letter word that is used to describe the exact words or phrases that are used in a document. Word-Perfect was a popular program for many years until it was eventually replaced by Microsoft Word.
