You are correct
I should have been clearer to note that Corel Office is actually supposed to be a direct "value-level" competitor to MS Office products and not a proper continuation of the WordPerfect Office series. Why Corel decided to go this route is unknown, though I would suspect that usage of actual WP doc formats (wpd, et al) is considered a "legacy" feature and it can only be had by sticking with the previous WP Office X6 release. The downside to this is the lack of an updated UI, but for some this is not a concern.
