Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use WordPerfect Office for pretty much all internal documents and for documents that will be converted to PDF for clients. I particularly prefer WordPerfect for large documents (e.g., 50 pages). It has great capabilities for dealing with references and footnotes. I also like the fact that I can use the "Reveal Codes" option to see what tags are in the document and to edit them if need be. I also use Quattro Pro. It is not as powerful as Excel but often simpler to use. About the only time I don't use WordPerfect (or Excel) is if I need to send the raw (i.e., not PDF) document to someone outside of the organization. Such documents usually go in Word format. Although WordPerfect has the capability to save documents in Word format the translation is often not perfect and formatting is affected.

IMHO, WordPerfect is still the best word processing software ever made. It makes formatting easy (important for lawyers) and "reveal codes" allows the user adjust the appearance of a document much easier than Word or Google docs. I use WordPerfect for all my correspondence and court papers and agreements. I have created numerous macros myself which makes my time much more efficient. I will retire before I stop using it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
  • We use WordPerfect Office throughout our organization as the primary Office Suite. As a word processing application, it is unparalleled. Microsoft Word is slightly better for group editing, but that feature is less important in our use than the formatting capability WordPerfect Office offers. It borders on being a desktop publishing application. The other "suite" members are less impressive but fully adequate. Quattro Pro as a spreadsheet has some features that Excel lacks, but Excel's dominance in the market is hard to ignore if you are exchanging files with users outside the company.
  • An often-overlooked advantage of WordPerfect Office is its relative security. Viruses and Malware go for the low hanging fruit making Microsoft Office files the primary target. We once had a user unleash Malware on our network that encrypted several files, but did not touch any of our Corel files.
  • I'm a fairly advanced user and float between Corel (WordPerfect Office), Microsoft Office, and Libre Office. I find each has particular strengths and weaknesses, but overall after decades of use, if I had to give up all but one suite, WordPerfect Office is the one I'd keep.

We are using WordPerfect to create and update a 170 page resource directory for our county. It is used mainly by two people who input the information into the program and format it. It is used mainly due to the fact that the resource directory was created with WordPrect in the late 1990's and every attempt at converting the format to MS Word has been unsuccessful.

We also use forms that are created in WordPerfect and can be adapted for each specific transaction or situation. Everyone who works in my office uses WordPerfect on a daily basis.
