an award-winning, integrated set of business-productivity applications for at work and at
home. With WordPerfect Office 2000, you can create annual reports, calculate your home
budget, produce mailing lists from databases, design brochures and menus, deliver

What’s the purpose of this user guide?
WordPerfect Office 2000 User Guide explains the features of WordPerfect Office 2000
applications, and provides step-by-step instructions for performing the most common
tasks that users perform with our applications. Because a single book cannot be an
exhaustive reference for every application in WordPerfect Office 2000, this user guide is
designed to be a companion to the WordPerfect Office 2000 online Help system.
WordPerfect Office 2000 User Guide is designed to get new and experienced business
application users up and running with WordPerfect Office 2000 quickly.
If you're new to word-processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, or
information-management business applications, you can use this user guide as a
foundation to your learning. If you're familiar with business applications but new to
WordPerfect Office 2000 applications, you can use this guide to learn about the tools
available to you, and how to use them. If you are an experienced WordPerfect Office 2000
application user, you can use this user guide as a memory aid or a refresher course. Each
section includes information about what's new in each WordPerfect Office 2000
application.

documentation for each major application provides basic information about performing the
most common tasks and describes the application’s tools and functions. At the end of each

these applications and utilities. Not all editions of WordPerfect Office 2000 include the
following items.
Desktop Application Director™
The Desktop Application Director (DAD™) lets you access the major applications in
WordPerfect Office 2000 from the Windows taskbar, which eliminates the need to create
shortcuts. You can can customize DAD to include any application or executable file, which
reduces the need to navigate through the Windows Start menu.
Voice recognition
Some editions of WordPerfect Office 2000 include a voice recognition application. Using a
voice recognition application, you can speak using your natural voice, and your words are
transcribed immediately onto your screen and into your WordPerfect document. You can
also use voice recognition to control Quattro Pro and Paradox. For more information about
using voice recognition applications with WordPerfect Office 2000, see the following:
www.corel.com/voiceinfo on the World Wide Web
Reference Center electronic manuals (see page 20)
the online Help for WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, or Paradox
Corel® Versions®
Corel Versions provides a solution to the problem of controlling and tracking multiple
copies of a file. Instead of tracking updates to a file by saving new versions of the file using
different file names, you can use Corel Versions to save changes to each successive
version of a file. Each version is archived to its own folder, or to the folder of your choice,
on any read/write drive.
Corel Versions lists archived files in a history list. This lets you retrieve an archived file
when you need a previous version. Corel Versions also lets you compare two files for text
differences.
Corel Versions operates directly with your operating system. From the Windows Control
Panel, you can:
enable or disable Corel Versions
enable file compression options
set where archived files are stored — in one location or in the current directory
set the maximum number of temporary versions
set the type of files that will not be archived

Bitstream Font Navigator
Bitstream Font Navigator 3.0.1 is a font manager. It lets you find and install fonts, organize
fonts into manageable groups, and view and print font samples.
To start Bitstream Font Navigator
From the Windows taskbar, click Start, Programs, WordPerfect Office 2000, Utilities,
Bitstream Font Navigator.
Macros and PerfectScript™
Macros are time-saving programming scripts that automate routine tasks. Macros let you
reproduce the behavior of keyboard commands, some mouse actions, and menu
commands. For example, you can create a macro that retrieves a file, gives it a new name,
and saves it in another format. Then, at any time, you can play the macro to repeat the
action.
PerfectScript is the macro language for WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, and Corel
Presentations. It is a command-based language that lets you record the results of
keystrokes or mouse selections, instead of recording the keystrokes themselves. For
example, instead of recording each keystroke involved in changing the top margin of a
document to 2 inches, you can use PerfectScript to record the command MarginTop
(MarginWidth: 2.0”).
PerfectScript includes programming commands that direct the function of a macro. These
commands let you create macros that can prompt user input, make decisions, and access
system variables. By using programming commands with product commands, you can
automate long or complex tasks.
WordPerfect Office 2000 provides detailed online Help files for WordPerfect, Quattro Pro,
Corel Presentations, and PerfectScript macro commands. These files contain information
about macro commands and their syntax, and additional instructions, and examples.
Fonts, clipart, and photos
To help you enhance your documents, WordPerfect Office 2000 offers an extensive
collection of fonts, clipart, and photos. WordPerfect Office 2000 provides:
more than 1,000 TrueType and Type 1 fonts. When you install WordPerfect Office 2000
using Typical Installation, a default set of fonts is installed automatically. Fonts are
grouped by style and appearance to help you find the font you need.

more than 200 photos which you can add to your documents and presentations.
Fonts, clipart, and photos can be installed on a network to give multiple users access
without installing them on individual systems.
WordPerfect Office 2000 file filters
WordPerfect Office 2000 applications include file filters that let you open and edit
documents created using Microsoft Office and Lotus SmartSuite applications. For
example, you can open a Microsoft Word document in WordPerfect, or you can use
Quattro Pro to open a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet. You can also save WordPerfect Office 2000
documents in Microsoft Office and Lotus SmartSuite formats. For example, you can save a
Corel Presentations slide show as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, or a WordPerfect
document as a Microsoft Word document.
To maintain backward file compatibility, the file format for WordPerfect 9 remains the
same as for WordPerfect 6.1, 7, and 8.
WordPerfect Office 2000 SDK and Corel® Solution Partners
The WordPerfect Office 2000 Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) is a set of tools that lets
software developers customize WordPerfect Office 2000 applications for commercial or
business use. The SDK is located on the WordPerfect Office 2000 installation CD in the

is the recommended installation type for most users. Use this option if you're not sure
which WordPerfect Office 2000 components you want to install. You can add and
remove components afterwards.
Compact Setup — conserves hard drive space by installing the minimum number of
applications, utilities, and files needed to operate WordPerfect Office 2000. Enable this
option if you have little free disk space and require only the minimum components.
This installation is often used for laptop computers.

install. This option gives you the most control over the installation process. Choose
this option if you need to install specialized components that are not included in the
Typical or Compact installation setups.

when you use applications, enable the CD-ROM Based check box. This option saves
hard disk space, but requires you to insert the WordPerfect Office 2000 CD into the
CD-ROM drive each time you want to run a WordPerfect Office 2000 application.
Enabling this option also results in slower-than-normal performance.

Questions and answers about installing
The following list answers some common questions about installing WordPerfect Office
2000.
What should I do if I get a prompt telling me that I do not have enough room to install all
the files?
Exit the Setup application and delete unnecessary files from your hard disk to make more
disk space available.
14 WordPerfect Office 2000
You can also use the Custom, Compact, or Run from CD-ROM installation options.
Several files, such as the Clipart or data maps, are not required to run the applications.
Use the Custom setup installation to add these files later.
How can I conserve disk space during installation?
Choose Compact installation, which does not install all the components that come with
WordPerfect Office 2000. You can also choose Custom installation and install only the
required application files for each application, plus any other files you want.
I did a Compact installation. Why do Spell Check, Thesaurus, or Grammatik not run?
A Compact installation installs only the files necessary to run WordPerfect Office 2000. If
you want to install writing tools, such as Spell Check, Thesaurus, or Grammatik, run the
Setup application again, choose Custom installation, then install the files you want.
Can I reinstall specific files?
If you need a specific file, you can copy it from the CD, where all the decompressed
WordPerfect Office 2000 files are located. You can also reinstall an entire product or
component.
If I install a mail system after installing WordPerfect Office 2000, do I need to run the
Setup application again?
No. WordPerfect Office 2000 detects your mail system when you start one of the
applications, not when you install, so the order in which you install the applications does
not matter.
