Corel has stopped all support? (removed them from public access) for
Linux including WP8 for Linux. Wp8 for Linux has the same file
compatability as the Windows version. I am not familiar with the forms
function of WP6.1 I use the templates/forms I created in WP8 for Windows
with WP8 for Linux. Corel bundled WP8-full with Corel Linux which is a
.deb package. These are not officially available but if you find a used
version of Corel Linux Deluxe on ebay or such , imho, it is worth the
price ($5?) for WP8. There is a howto on the net on converting the .deb
package using alien if needed.
There is a copy of the personal edition on the AKLUG ftp site. The full
edition is preferable.
