Here you go - https://www.wordperfect.com/en/
Haven't tried it in years, but it has a free trial and education pricing for anyone with a "suitable" e-mail address (eg ends .ac.uk)
edit - this seems a decent review of the 2020 version - https://uk.pcmag.com/office-suites/35699/corel-wordperfect-office
Apparently, and I quote - "WordPerfect is the only word processor that uses the same file format that it started using 25 years ago. That kind of continuity is exactly what its user base needs." so that really might be up a few folks streets, that and although listed as a "fault" it's has an "Outdated Interface" which sounds great to me.
If we could get rid of most of the UI "improvements" in Windows, Office, Mac OS and especially in Ubuntu Linux the world would be happier place. And Steve Sinofsky the man behind the "UI" of Windows 8 needs to be put against the wall alongside the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation when the revolution comes.
