username, your version of Corel WordPerfect, the
network setup, system, printer, and environment

README Files

README files contain information about changes to the program that were
made after the manuals were printed. Be sure to retrieve README files into
Corel WordPerfect and read through them.

The Basics

Installation Your system administrator should have already installed Corel WordPerfect 8 for

character-based terminals. If it is not working, please contact your system
administrator.

The Template

Start Corel
WordPerfect

The template is an optional menu card that fits onto your keyboard and shows
the locations of Corel WordPerfect function keys. If your template does not fit
the keyboard you are using, contact your system administrator for a replacement.

Once Corel WordPerfect has been installed by your system administrator, you
are ready to start the program.

12 The Basics

First log on to your terminal, then follow the procedure below that matches your
system setup.

•

If you see the shell prompt after you log on, enter wp to start Corel
WordPerfect.

•

If you see a menu of applications to select from, choose the letter or number
that corresponds to Corel WordPerfect.

Clean Screen

Cursor

Document (1 of 9)

Status line

Keys to Know

When you begin a new document, you are in the editing screen.

Page

Line

Position

The cursor points to the current position on the screen. The status line displays
the position of the cursor, messages, or warnings. When you save a document,
the status line also displays the filename of the document on the editing screen.

Initial (default) formats, such as margins, tabs, and line spacing, are already set.
You can, however, change them at any time in the document (see Appendix G:
Initial Settings for a complete list of initial format settings).

Backspace

Erases characters to the immediate left of the cursor as you type.

Cancel

Backs you out of features that display a message on the status line, such as Block,
Exit, or Retrieve. It also backs you out of any menu. Cancel can also be used to
restore text that has been erased by the delete keys.

Delete

Deletes text at the cursor position.

Exit

Saves or exits a menu or a document, exits Corel WordPerfect without saving a
document, or clears the screen.

Help

Displays on-screen information about any feature you are using. You can also
use this feature to display the Corel WordPerfect template or a list of features
that begin with a specific letter. Pressing Return or the Space Bar exits the help
screen.

The Basics 13

Return

Ends a short line of text, or sends a command to your terminal. For example, to
save or retrieve a file, you must type a filename, then press Return. You can also
use Return to accept a default prompt.

Function Keys

Pull-Down Menus

You use function keys to access the many features in the program. The function
keys you press will vary depending on the keyboard you are using. The template
shows the location of function keys.

You can change these assignments to suit your needs. For further information
on keyboard assignments, see Keyboard Layout.

For more information about assigning Help to Cancel, Cancel to Escape, and
Repeat Value to Help, see Alternate Keyboard under Environment Setup.

Use pull-down menus to select features.

Pull-down menu titles appear in a bar at the top of the screen. Hold down the
Escape key and press the equal sign key (=). To select features in the pull-down
menus, use the arrow keys and press Return. You can also select these features by
typing the mnemonic letter that is highlighted in the feature name (S for Save).

If you prefer to use the pull-down menus, look for this symbol:

j. Throughout

the documentation, this symbol will be followed by the name of the pull-down
menu where you can find the feature.

Example:

Or

j Select Append from the Edit menu.

14 The Basics

Menu Options Some features, such as Print, give you a menu of options, as in the example

below.

When you are in one of these menus, there are two ways to select an option.

•

Type the option number, such as (1) for Full Document. (Use the numbers
at the top of the keyboard, not the numbers on the number pad.)

•

Type the mnemonic letter that is highlighted in the option name (P for
Page).

Codes

Exit Corel WordPerfect

Codes are commands that tell Corel WordPerfect and your printer what to do.
When you use a feature such as Block or Underline, the commands are inserted
in your document. You can see the codes in Reveal Codes. See Appendix B:
Codes for a list of all codes.

When you finish using Corel WordPerfect, you must exit before turning off your
terminal.

1 Press Exit.

Or

j Select Exit from the File menu.

2 Press y to save the document, then enter a filename.

or

Press n to continue exiting without saving the document.

3 Press y to exit.

There are several save options. For further information, see Save.

The Basics

15

Getting Help

If you want help with Corel WordPerfect as you work, there are several sources
available.

Help Feature

Reference Manual

Press the Help key to display on-screen information about features.

This manual describes how each feature works.

A Brief Lesson

Creating the Document After you start Corel WordPerfect, you are ready to start typing. If you make

any mistakes, you can use Backspace to erase them.
When a line fills with text, the cursor returns to the left margin on a new line.

This automatic return is known as word wrapping.

1 Type the following note without pressing Return at the end of a line.

Remember the discussion we had about starting a study abroad
program? I just returned from a study abroad conference in Illinois,
and I have an outline I want you to read. Please stop by my office when
you are at this end of campus, and we can talk about it.

Editing the Document

You just created your first document, but you see parts of the document you
want to edit.

Moving the Cursor

Move the cursor by using the Up and Down Arrow keys, or the Left and Right
Arrow keys on your keyboard.

Some keyboards have a separate number pad that is also used for cursor control. The Num Lock key
(or its equivalent) operates as a toggle to turn Num Lock on and off. When Num Lock is turned
off, the number pad can be used for cursor control. To find the alternate cursor toggle keystroke,
press Help, Help, Right Arrow. An additional help screen labeled Miscellaneous Corel
WordPerfect Functions appears. The function name is Keypad Numeric/Application-mode toggle.

1 Using the arrow keys, move the cursor to the uppercase R in Remember.
Insert vs. Typeover

By default, Insert is on. Text you type is inserted at the cursor, moving the
existing text to the right. To type over existing text use Typeover. Press Help to
access appropriate keystrokes.

2 Type Do you and press the Space Bar.
3 Press Insert. Notice that Typeover appears at the bottom left of the screen.
4 Type a lowercase r to replace the existing R.

16 A Brief Lesson

5 Press Insert to end Typeover and return to Insert.
6 Move the cursor to the h in have in the second sentence.
7 Press Delete until the sentence (including the period) is erased.

Many keyboard functions will repeat if you hold down the key. Holding down a key too long can
insert unwanted codes and delete other necessary codes.

8 Type think I've come up with an outline that will make us all very

happy.

9 Move the cursor to the v in very.
Block and Underline

Block defines portions of text for use with other features.

1 Press Block, then press Right Arrow until very is highlighted.

Or

j Select Block from the Edit menu, then press Right Arrow until very is highlighted.

2 Press Underline.

Select Appearance from the Font menu, then select Underline.
You can block characters, words, sentences, or entire pages. If you had blocked

the rest of the note from very forward, the entire block would have been
underlined.

3 Move the cursor to the D in Do at the beginning of the note.
4 Press Return two times to add blank lines at the beginning of the note.
Using the Home Key

Use the Home key to move through the document quickly.

1 Press Home key twice, then Up Arrow to go to the top of the document.
2 Type Mitch,
3 Return to the D in Do at the beginning of the note.
4 Press Ta b .

A Brief Lesson 17

Saving the Document You typed the note and now you want to save it. When you save a document, all

document initial settings are saved, including printer selection.

1 Press Save.

Or

j Select Save from the File menu.

A message appears on the status line at the bottom of the screen: “Document to
be Saved:”

2 Type study as the filename, then press Return.

The name of your document and the directory appear on the status line at the
bottom of the screen. This original document is now saved. Any changes you
make in the rest of the lesson are only temporary. The changes do not affect the
original document, unless you save them under the same filename.

Printing the Document

Saving the Document
and Exiting

From the screen, you can print a document, page, or a block of text.

1 Press Print to display the Print menu.

Or

j Select Print from the File menu.

2 Select Full Document (1) from the Print menu to send the note to the

printer.

If your printer does not print, make sure it is turned on, it is on-line, and the
printer cable is attached securely to your computer and printer. If you still
cannot print, contact your system administrator.

You already saved your original document. You can also save your document
and exit Corel WordPerfect at the same time.

1 Press Exit.

Or

j Select Exit from the File menu.

A message appears on the status line at the bottom of the screen asking you if
you want to “Save Document? Yes (No).”

2 Type y, then press Return to save it with the study filename.

Pressing Return will automatically select the default option.

Because there is already a document with the filename study, the message on the
status line asks if you want to replace the previously saved document. If you had
changed any text, the new version of the text would replace the old version.

3 Type y.

The message on the status line asks if you want to “Exit WP? No(Yes).”

4 Type y to exit.

For information on other saving and filing options, see Save and List Files.

18 A Brief Lesson

Reference

••••••••••••••••••••••••

Reference

Advance

Use Advance to position text at an exact location on a page. Advance can place
text in graphics images. In the image below, Advance positions “Help!” inside
the cartoon bubble.

HELP!

Use Advance to fill in spaces in existing forms, such as positioning text to fit in a
pre-printed form (see Filling in Forms below).

When you use different fonts and type sizes, use Advance to move to a specific
position on a page without having to calculate the line height required to reach
that position. You can also used Advance to manually kern characters (see Wo r d
and Letter Spacing).

To use advance,

1 Move the cursor to where you want the advance to begin.
2 Press Format, then select Other (4).

Or

j Select Other from the Layout menu.

3 Select Advance (1), then select the advance option of your choice (see

Advance Options below).

4 Enter a distance.
5 Press Exit to return to the document.
6 Type the text.

Advance 21

Notes Advance and Graphics Images

If you use Advance to position text in a graphics image, make sure the Wrap
Text Around Box option for the graphics box that contains the image is set to
No. If it is set to yes, you cannot position text inside the box (see Graphics,
Define a Box).

Advance and Page Breaks

Use Advance to move the cursor on the current page only. You cannot enter an
Advance measurement which advances the cursor past a page break (see Page,
Soft and Hard).

Advance Options

If you select Advance Up (1), Down (2), Left (4), or Right (5), the distance you
enter is measured relative to the cursor position. For example, if you enter an
Advance Left measurement of 1 and the cursor is at position 3.5 , you will be
advanced to position 2.5 on the same line.

If you select Advance to Line (3) or Position (6), the distance you enter is an
absolute position on the page, regardless of where the cursor is located at that
time.

Advance to Line is a vertical measurement, measured from the top edge of the
page. For example, if you enter an Advance to Line measurement of 3 , you will
be advanced 3 down from the top edge of the page.

Advance to Position is a horizontal measurement, measured from the left edge of
the page. For example, if you enter an Advance to Position measurement of 3 ,
you will be advanced 3 in from the left edge of the page.

You cannot advance vertically and horizontally using one Advance code. To
change the cursor position to a new vertical and horizontal position, you must
enter two Advance codes.

Cursor Position

Advance inserts an Advance code into your document which indicates the type
of advance you selected and the distance. This does not change the on-screen
position of the cursor. However, any change in location is reflected in the “Ln”
and “Pos” numbers on the status line.

If you do not know the position of specific text in your document, move the
cursor to that text, using Reveal Codes. Make sure the cursor is placed after the
Advance code, then check the position displayed on the status line. You can also
use View Document to preview where the text will be printed on the page.

Filling in Forms

When you select Advance to Line (3) from the Advance options and enter a
distance, text is printed immediately below the distance you enter. For example,

22 Advance

Advance measurement

if you enter an Advance to Line measurement of 3 , the full line of text is
printed immediately below 3 from the top of the page.

Line of text
Baseline

Advance measurement

Line of text
Baseline

Text is immediately below the distance you enter.

When you place text in pre-printed forms, set the Baseline Placement for
Typesetters option on the Format: Printer Functions menu to Yes. You may also
want to enter a fixed line height and enter a fixed line measurement (see Line
Height). Text is printed on top of the line instead of below the line. If you enter
an Advance to Line measurement of 3 , the bottom or baseline of your text is
printed 3 down from the top of the page.

The baseline of your text will be 3 inches down.

Advance 23

Append

Returning to the Original Position

To return the cursor to its original position after using Advance, insert an
Advance to Line and an Advance to Position measurement. For example, if you
were originally at the Position 1 Line 1 position, return the cursor to that
position by entering an Advance to Line measurement of 1 and an Advance to
Position measurement of 1 .

Text Boxes

Advance code measurements inside text boxes are measured from the top left
corner of the box.

Append adds text on the screen to an existing file on disk. Text is added to the
end of the file.

1 Move the cursor to the text you want to append.
2 Press Move.

Or

j Choose Select from the Edit menu.

3 Select Sentence (1), Paragraph (2), or Page (3) to highlight the sentence,

paragraph, or page on which the cursor is resting.

You can also append a block of text (see Blocks of Text below).

4 Select Append (4).
5 Enter the name of the file to which you want to append the text (see Entering

Filenames below). If the file does not exist, it will be created.

Notes

24 Append

Append and Macros

If you use Append in macros, a new file is automatically created if the filename
you enter does not exist.

Blocks of Text

You can append a block of text to a file on disk. Select Block to block the text,
press Move, select Block (1), and follow steps 4 and 5 above.

Entering Filenames

If the file is in your default directory, enter only the filename. If the file is in
another directory, you must enter the full pathname for the file.

Locked Files

To append to a locked file, use the above steps, then enter the correct password
for the locked file.

Sentence, Paragraph, and Page Delimiters

Sentences, paragraphs, and pages are distinguished by delimiters such as periods,
Hard Return codes [HRt], Soft Page codes [SPg], and Hard Page codes [HPg]. If
you have trouble blocking a sentence, paragraph, or page, one or more of the
necessary delimiters is missing.

For more information about sentence, paragraph, and page delimiters, see Move.

Tabular Columns and Rectangles

Use Block to block a tabular column or a rectangle. You cannot enter a filename
to append a blocked tabular column or rectangle directly to a file. You can,
however, move these items by appending them to a temporary buffer.

To move a blocked tabular column or rectangle,

1 Select Block to block a tabular column or a rectangle (see Move, Block).
2 Press Move, with the block on the screen.
3 Select Tabular Column (2) or Rectangle (3).
4 Select Append (4) to save the block to a temporary buffer.

The text will remain in that temporary buffer until you move new text to that
buffer or exit Corel WordPerfect. To move the buffer to another file, switch to
the new file and retrieve the buffer.

To retrieve the block,

1 Press Move.
2 Select Retrieve (4).
3 Select Tabular Column (2) or Rectangle (3).

You cannot use the Tabular Column or Rectangle option to block and append
graphics boxes unless the graphics box is empty or contains only text. If you use
the Tabular Column or Rectangle option to block and append a graphics box
which contains a graphics image, you will get an error message.

Attributes

Attributes change the size or appearance of printed text. They can provide
emphasis to a word or set text apart on a page.

Size attributes change the size of printed text, while appearance attributes
enhance the printed text.

Attributes 25

In the following example, size attributes create headlines of different sizes.

Seeing Things Clearly

Proposal Summary

As we suspected, aquarium operations in both production and marketing have a determinant effect on how well
our marine and freshwater fish operations perform. A comparative study of the two financial histories shows that
our revenues followed the same fiscal pattern as that of Clearly Aquariums: when aquarium sales are up, we
prosper. But this symbiotic relationship also has a downside. Currently, there is little activity among aquarium
manufacturers to stimulate their weak market—output is at a standstill.

These indicators lead us to believe that if aquarium sales continue to soften, our profits will begin to recede
symptomatically. One way of breaking from the aquarium industry's downward spiral and increasing our potential
for growth is to adopt a more aggressive posture in aquarium manufacturing.

This proposal suggests that we purchase the aquarium industry leader, Clearly Aquariums, to fortify our com­pany and our sales for the future. Because our sales depend on aquarium output, acquiring Clearly would allow
us to improve productivity, oversee marketing, and give us tighter control over our fish sales. Agreed, acquiring
another business in these volatile times is risky, but the returns for us on an aquarium venture will essentially be
guaranteed; everyone who buys our fish will have to have somewhere to put them, and everyone who buys an
aquarium will want to fill it with fish.

Notes

26 Attributes

Appearance Attributes

Appearance attributes specify text style text. Select Bold (1), Underline (2),
Double Underline (3), Italic (4), Outline (5), Shadow (6), Small Caps (7),
Redline (8), or Strikeout (9).

Base Font

The attributes you select are variations of the current document's base font. You
can use size attributes to temporarily change font size without changing the base
font. If the attributes do not look the way you expect them to print, your printer
does not have the necessary fonts to print them (see Colors/Fonts/Attributes and
Font).

To preview appearance attributes, use View Document.

Bold and Underline

Bold and Underline are assigned to specific keystrokes. Select Bold or
Underline, then press the keystroke again to turn off the attribute, or press
Right Arrow to move past the attribute off code.

Codes

When you select an attribute, on and off codes are inserted, with the cursor
resting before the off code. For example, the on code inserted for the Bold
attribute is [BOLD] and the off code is [bold]. You can display these codes by
pressing Reveal Codes. Any text between the codes takes on the attribute.

To turn off the attribute, press Right Arrow to move past the off code.

Existing Text

To add attributes to existing text, block the text using Block, then select the
attribute using steps 1 through 3 above. When you use this method, the cursor
is placed after the attribute off code.

Normal Text

When you have more than one attribute active at a time, you can turn off all
current attributes. Press Font, then select Normal (3) to return the text to the
base font. This inserts the necessary off codes or moves the cursor past existing
off codes. Text which follows the off codes is printed in the current base font
(see Base Font above).

On-Screen Appearance

The attribute currently selected appears in the text you type and in the numbers
next to the “Pos” indicator at the status line. When attributes are displayed on
the screen, they can be represented in several ways, depending on your terminal.

To learn more about the on-screen appearance of attributes, see
Colors/Fonts/Attributes.

Printing

Since the printed appearance of text depends upon the capabilities of your
printer, you may not be able to print certain attributes. For example, some
printers print underlining as a solid line, while others can only produce a broken
line. To learn more about how attributes are printed, see Font.

You can determine which attributes are available on your printer by retrieving
and printing the printer.tst file (select your printer before printing). It includes
several attributes and the most common attribute combinations.

Important: printer.tst is installed with the Corel WordPerfect Program files. It is originally
copied to the wplrn directory.

Removing Attributes

You can remove attributes by deleting either one of the pair of attribute codes
which surround the text. Corel WordPerfect then deletes the matching code.
We suggest you turn on Reveal Codes to see the attribute codes you are deleting.
Also, if you delete an attribute code in the normal editing screen, you are
prompted to confirm the deletion. You can type y to confirm the deletion, or
type any other key to skip the code without deleting it.

Attributes 27

Size Attributes

The size attributes deal with the height and width of a character or character
position in a line.

Select either Superscript (1), Subscript (2), Fine (3), Small (4), Large (5), Very
Large (6), or Extra Large (7).

To alternate type sizes, use these size attributes instead of adjusting Base Font
settings.

Using the size attributes, however, may not actually change the size of the text
you print. It depends on what fonts your printer has available. For example, if
your printer has only Courier 10 point, it will print only in that font regardless
of the size attributes you select.

The actual sizes used for Fine, Small, Large, Very Large, and Extra Large are
determined by your current base font and the printer fonts you select (see Base
Font above, and Font).

You can also change the fonts being used for the attributes by editing the .prs file
(see Printer Program, Modify Automatic Font Changes).

Size Attribute Ratios

A new feature, Size Attribute Ratios, helps you determine the size of the font
attributes (see Initial Settings).

Auto Code Placement

Certain Corel WordPerfect codes are designed for insertion at the beginning of a
paragraph or page, depending on the code. When inserting a code, Auto Code
Placement moves the code to the top of the paragraph or page where the
insertion point is located. Auto Code Placement removes duplicate codes by
deleting the old code before inserting the new code.

The code then affects the paragraph or page, and all subsequent text, unless
Corel WordPerfect encounters the same code later in the document.

If you select text before you insert a code listed in the table below, the code affects the entire
paragraphs or pages containing the selection.

If you start Corel WordPerfect with a -A startup option, Auto Code Placement
brackets are made visible around the Page or Paragraph code here ([Auto
Placement>>] [<<Auto Placement]).

When you retrieve a Corel WordPerfect UNIX document into the DOS version
of Corel WordPerfect, the Auto Code Placement codes will appear as
[Unknown].

28 Auto Code Placement

The table below lists the codes placed at the top of the page and at the beginning
of each paragraph. Codes not listed in the table are character codes. Such codes
are placed where the insertion point is located.

Notes

Placement

To reposition a code that has been automatically positioned at the beginning of a
page or paragraph, block the desired code and use Move to move it to the new
location.

For example, if you want Line Numbering to start in the middle of a paragraph,
you must turn Line Numbering on. With Reveal Codes on, go to the beginning
of the paragraph, block the line numbering code, then move the code to the line
where you want Line Numbering to begin.

Placement Restrictions

Auto Code Placement restricts where regular text and character codes can be
entered. If you enter text when the insertion point is between page or paragraph­type codes, the insertion point is moved past all page and paragraph functions
before the text is inserted.

Backup, Original

First draft (letterBK!)

Second draft (letter)

Normally, when you replace a document with one of the same name, the original
is deleted. The Original Backup option lets you save the original and the
replacement version of the document.

Original Backup is a safeguard against replacing previous versions of a
document.

When you replace a file with Original Backup on, the original version of a file is
renamed filenameBK! (where filename is the name of the original file). As you
continue to replace the same file, the BK! file is replaced with the current original
file. The BK! files are stored in the same directory as the replacement file.

For example, if you save the first draft of a document named letter, when you
replace the first draft with the second draft, the first draft is renamed letterBK!
and the second draft is named letter.

Dear Mr. Cecil Armstrong,
Our only reservation in transporting the jade statuary concerns the

packaging. Unlike sea transport, air freight is bound by packaging
regulations which determine what can ship by air.

Our primary concern is the size of the cargo. To ensure safe
transport of the statuary, each statue should be contained in a
palletized crate. This could create a problem since our largest
carrier, the B747F, is limited to crates that are 350 x 260 x 260
cm. in size with a maximum payload of 750 kilograms. The only
alternative is to ship the statues as indivisible items which
requires no packaging. However, we strongly discourage this because
of the statuary’s fragile nature.

You should be aware that Samson Air Freighters can only insure each
piece for $1,000,000, which is included in the $9.60 (per 100 miles
X 50 kilograms) price we quoted. Any increase in the insurance will
increase the shipping cost. To make it cost effective for you, you
may want to seek an independent insurer to supplement our schedule.

Another concern is the Customs process. When freight arrives in Los
Angeles, customs officials will randomly select and unpack cargo
for inspection. If any damage results from this procedure, our
underwriter cannot be held responsible for coverage.

must be done by The Great Gem Company. As a precaution, SAF will
designate Los Angeles as a final destination. At that time, a
representative of The Great Gem Company must accept delivery of the
statuary. Once that transaction is completed, we will draw up a new
invoice to continue delivery to Houston.

Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
