information about what's new in WordPerfect Office 2002 applications, see their respective
sections in this user guide or refer to the online Help file. Not all WordPerfect Office 2002
editions include all the applications, tools, and features described in this section.
Corel Application Recovery Manager
Corel Applicaton Recovery Manager (Corel A.R.M.) helps you recover from most application
failures without losing your work.
The Corel A.R.M. is an online wizard that opens automatically at program failure and then offers
three courses of action:
saving the document and closing the application
exiting the application without saving the document
continue working
If you chose to continue working there is no guarantee that you can recover any work in your
document since the last time you saved.
The Corel A.R.M. Provides a program log which contains the details of the applications failure.
You can initiate a report over the Internet to provide Corel with this important information. By
receiving reports that you encounter in day-to-day situations, Corel can take advantage of a
real-world testing opportunity.
Paradox 10 does not use the Corel A.R.M., as it already has built-in application
recovery features.
Location Manager
The Location Manager utility is a component of the Corel A.R.M. It makes sure the WordPerfect
Office 2002 applications can start without errors, even when files are missing or damaged. When
you start a WordPerfect Office 2002 application, the Location Manager ensures that all the
required files are present on the your computer. If the file is missing (due to being moved,
renamed, or deleted) or if it is damaged, the Location Manager will repair the problem by
replacing the file. This means that instead of receiving an error message and not being able to
start the application, the Location Manager will automatically repair the problem and the
application will start as expected. This greatly reduces downtime and virtually eliminates the
need to call technical support for errors caused by missing or damaged application files.
Welcome to WordPerfect Office 2002 9
Corel Connector
If you have an Internet connection, you can connect to product-specific information,
newsgroups, updates, technical support, and more using the new Corel Connector included in

http://kb.corel.com/
Pocket Oxford Dictionary
The Oxford English Dictionary has been the authoritative dictionary of the English language for
more than a century. The Pocket Oxford Dictionary provides the meaning, history, and
pronunciation of more than 30,000 words. It has been integrated into the existing writing tools
in WordPerfect Office 2002, giving you the ability to look up word definitions and phonetic
spellings. You can also upgrade to a larger version of the dictionary and purchase other services
offered by Oxford University Press.

customize DAD to include any application or executable file, which reduces the need to navigate
through the Windows Start menu.

create and format text by using a number of pre-defined commands, or by accessing various
menu and dialog options by voice. You can use the program to dictate into popular e-mail

Welcome to WordPerfect Office 2002 11
Install As You Go
Install As You Go™ lets you minimize the hard disk space required by WordPerfect Office 2002
applications. If you try to use an item that is not installed, Install As You Go asks if you would
like to install it. You can install only the applications and utilities you need, as you need them.
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 2002 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.
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
More than three million software developers worldwide use Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) to create custom business solutions. VBA, integrated in WordPerfect, Quattro
Pro, Corel Presentations, and CorelCENTRAL, can be used by developers to build custom
solutions.
VBA integrates its development capabilities with host applications. When you use VBA to extend
WordPerfect Office 2002 applications you can benefit from the Visual Basic programming
language, an integrated Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment, and fast runtime
performance. You can also benefit from Microsoft Forms Package and support for ActiveX
controls to create custom user interfaces, provide access to the Windows API and the underlying
file system, add connectivity to corporate data, and integrate applications with other Component
Object Model-based applications.
Quick View Plus
Quick View Plus is an application designed to let you share files with ease. You can view, copy,
and print the contents of more than 200 Windows, MS-DOS, Macintosh, and Internet file
formats, even if you do not have the native application installed on your computer. Quick View
Plus can be integrated into email applications, including CorelCENTRAL Mail, Netscape
Messenger, Eudora, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Exchange.

through a detailed project, such as creating a resume, or it can guide you through a smaller task,
such as inserting a clipart image. WordPerfect Office 2002 includes a number of templates, and
new templates can be downloaded from the World Wide Web to give you more selection.
TextArt
TextArt® lets you transform words into designs. You can use multiple visual effects, such as font,
color, and rotation options, to create professional looking 2-D or 3-D images. You can create a
TextArt image yourself, or insert preset 2-D and 3-D images into documents. Saving an image as
a separate file lets you use the image in a variety of projects. You can also change the font of a
TextArt image by specifying the font type and style or insert iconic symbols and characters from
any fonts and alphabets available to you.
For more information refer to the TextArt online Help file. The help can be accessed when you
click Insert } Graphics } TextArt.
WordPerfect Office 2002 file filters
WordPerfect Office 2002 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 2002 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.

WordPerfect Office 2002 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 2002. Enable this

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 2002. You can also choose Custom installation and install only the required
application files for each application, plus any other files you want.
18 Introduction
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 2002. 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 2002 files are located. You can also reinstall an entire product or component.
If I install a mail system after installing WordPerfect Office 2002, do I need
to run the Setup application again?
No. WordPerfect Office 2002 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.

Welcome to WordPerfect 10 1

Working with documents 2
This chapter tells you how to perform basic operations in WordPerfect.
In this section, you’ll learn about
understanding the components of a document
creating documents
opening documents
adding the date and time to a document
saving a document
printing a document
closing documents and quitting WordPerfect
Understanding the components of a document
A WordPerfect document is a file with a filename extension. Each document consists of one or
more of the following components.
Text
Text can be typed directly into WordPerfect or imported from text editors or other
word-processing applications. For more information about adding text to a document, see
“Entering or inserting text” in the online Help.
Graphics
Graphics include shapes, drawings, pictures, and clipart. A shape is any object created using
WordPerfect drawing tools. A drawing is created using Corel Presentations menus and tools. A
picture is a bitmapped or graphic image that has been imported into a WordPerfect document.
Pictures can be imported using a scanner or CD or from paint programs, such as Corel
PHOTO-PAINT. Clipart images are images that can be brought into Corel applications and edited
or used as they are. Corel offers a large selection of clipart in many formats. You can purchase
additional images, including some in bitmap format, from commercial suppliers. For more
information about adding graphics to a document, see “Inserting graphics” in the online Help.
Styles
A style is a collection of formatting attributes applied to characters, paragraphs, or documents.
By formatting items with styles, you ensure consistent formatting throughout a document.
Whenever you change the formatting in a style, you change the appearance of all items that use
that style. For more information about formatting with styles, see “Creating and applying text
styles” in the online Help.
Working with documents 39
Templates
A template is a preformatted document that can be used as a guide for creating a new
document. Every document created in WordPerfect is based on a template or a project template.
When you open WordPerfect, the blank document you see is based on the default template.
Project templates can include fax cover sheets, memos, newsletters, and brochures. For more
information about templates, see “Using project templates” in the online Help.
Macros
Macros are used to automate application tasks. For example, you can use WordPerfect macros to
set margins, select a font, or create a merge file. For more information about macros, see
“Recordings, macros, and automation features” in the online Help.
Creating documents
You can create a document in WordPerfect by opening a blank document window. Every
document you create is based on a template. Even a blank document is based on the default
template, which includes formatting elements such as the margins, tab settings, and toolbars.
WordPerfect also includes ready-made project templates that you can open and use to create a
wide range of documents, including letters, fax cover sheets, calendars, and business cards. For
more information about templates, see “Using project templates” in the online Help.
To create a document by using the default template
Click File } New.
To create a document by using the project template
1 Click File } New from project.
2 Choose the type of project you want to create from the Create new list box.
3 Click the Create button.
4 Click any of the appropriate buttons on the PerfectExpert panel.
You can also create a new document by clicking the New blank document button
on the toolbar.
Opening documents
You can open text files and other word-processing documents that were created in WordPerfect
or in another application. For example, you can open Microsoft Word and Rich Text Format (.rtf)
files in WordPerfect. For more information about opening Microsoft Word documents, see
“Opening Microsoft Word documents” in the online Help.
The advantage of opening a document created in another application (rather than importing
text) is that many of the formatting attributes in the original document, such as page size,
margins, font properties, bullets, and underlining, are preserved. Some of the features not
supported include embedded pictures, hidden text, interline spacing, kerning, macros, multiple
page layouts (the first one in the document is used throughout), and OLE objects.
For more information about importing files, see “Import and export file formats for WordPerfect
10" in the Reference Information section of the online Help.

Formatting pages 3
When you change the format of a document, you change the physical arrangement of
information on a page and the general appearance of the finished document. WordPerfect 10 lets
you change the format for part of a page or for a whole page, and you can apply one format to
selected text and apply a different format to other text in the same document.
WordPerfect contains on-screen alignment tools, such as guidelines, rulers, and ruler guides, to
help you as you type. Guidelines are horizontal and vertical nonprinting lines that you can use to
align frames, graphic objects, and text on a page. They are used to show the margins or
measurements of elements in a document, such as page margins, tables, columns, headers, and
footers. Guidelines appear as gray dotted lines and can be viewed, hidden, and moved; they can
be displayed, but they do not print in the document. You can use guidelines to quickly change
margins, size tables or columns, or to change the look of headers and footers on a page.
In this section, you’ll learn about
setting page margins
setting page size definitions and orientation
editing and deleting page size definitions
setting single-sided or double-sided pages for a document
choosing a document layout for binding
changing the spacing between paragraphs or lines of text
importing text and objects onto a page
creating and deleting columns
Setting page margins
You can set margins for a document by using guidelines. Guidelines are vertical or horizontal
dotted lines that appear on pages, measurements, or margin markers found on the ruler. Margin
markers are the double vertical slashes (||) on the left and right ends of the ruler.
Margin settings affect the current page and subsequent pages until you change them. Left and
right margins are used to set the length of the lines in a document. You can set margins before
you enter text, or you can apply margins to the text you select.
WordPerfect lets you set page margins by using margin guidelines, exact measurements, or the
ruler. You can set the top, bottom, left, and right margins in a document. You can set margins for

Setting page size definitions and orientation
A page size definition determines how a printer formats and prints pages. For example, you can
create page size definitions for envelopes and nonstandard-sized pages. You can choose from
preset page size definitions, or you can create your own.
Page size definitions are matched to the printer you have selected. A definition may not be
available when you change to another printer or a different computer. If the same definition is
not available, WordPerfect finds the best match for a page definition, selecting from those
available with the other printer. If the match does not work, you may need to edit or re-create
the definition.
To select a preset page size definition
1 Click File } Page setup.
2 Click the Page setup tab.
3 Choose a page definition from the Page definition list box.
4 Enable one of the following options:
Portrait — prints text and graphics on a page whose height is greater than its width
Landscape — prints text and graphics on a page whose width is greater than its height
5 In the Apply to area, enable one of the following options:
Current and following pages — applies the page definitions to the current and following
pages
Current page only — applies the page definitions to the current page only
Entire document — applies the page definitions to the entire document
Editing and deleting page size definitions
WordPerfect uses a page size definition to format pages. Once you have created or selected a
page size definition, you can edit it or delete it.
To edit a page size definition
1 Click File } Page setup.
2 Click the Page setup tab.
3 Click the Edit form button .

6 In the Show page size for area, enable one of the following options:
All printers — lets you display page size definitions for all installed printers
Current printer only — lets you display page size definitions for the selected printer
Formatting pages 47
The default paper source is the source specified in the Windows printer properties
for the selected printer. Choose Manual feed from the Source list box in the Edit
page definition dialog box only if you put paper in the printer manually, one sheet at
a time.
To delete a page size definition
1 Click File } Page setup.
2 Click the Page setup tab.
3 Choose a page size from the Page definition list box.
4 Click the Delete form button .
When you delete a page size definition, you can no longer use that definition; a
document can print with a similar page definition, but it may not be an exact match.
All printers have a nonprintable zone. If information is formatted to print in this area,
it will not print. To shift information out of the nonprintable zone, you must specify
printing adjustments when you define the page size.

Choosing a document layout for binding
You can give a document extra space for binding by choosing a particular document layout. You
can also divide pages to create a book or tablet layout because a document contains physical and
logical pages.
A physical page displays on the screen; a logical page exists within the physical page. When you
modify a feature, such as margins for binding, you are modifying the logical page. You can also
divide the physical page into smaller logical pages to create small, foldable documents, such as
tickets or greeting cards. For information about printing folded and bound documents, see
“Printing booklets and defining binding offsets” in the online Help.
48 WordPerfect 10
As you edit the document, each logical page is treated as a separate page. The document
window also changes to show the dimensions of the logical page. After you fill a logical page,
the text continues on the next logical page. All the formatting you can use in a regular document
applies to the logical pages you create.

Importing text and objects onto a page
WordPerfect lets you import an object. An object can be text, graphics, sound clips, media clips,
or spreadsheet cells — anything that you can copy from one application to another.
Pasting copies the object from one application to another with no connection. You can use this
method when you do not plan to make changes to the object. When you cut or copy an object, it
is stored in the Clipboard. You can then paste the object elsewhere in that same document or in
another Windows application. You can select a specific format when you paste information from
the Clipboard into WordPerfect. For information about cutting, copying, and pasting, see
“Cutting, copying, and pasting text and graphics” in the online Help. For more information about
different methods of importing text and objects, see “Linking and embedding” in the online
Help.
To import an object by copying and pasting
1 In any Windows application, select an object.
2 Click Edit } Copy.
3 Start WordPerfect.
4 Click Edit } Paste.
Formatting pages 49
You can choose how an object is imported into a document by clicking Edit } Paste
special. For example, you can choose to paste it in an unformatted text format or in
Rich Text Format.
Creating and deleting columns
You can use columns to divide text vertically on a page. There are four types of columns for use
in documents such as newsletters, glossaries, scripts, or inventory lists: Newspaper, Balanced
newspaper, Parallel, and Parallel with block protect.
The following picture shows newspaper columns. Text in newspaper columns flows down the
column to the bottom of a page or column break and starts again at the top of the next column.
The following picture shows balanced newspaper columns. Balanced newspaper columns are
similar to regular newspaper columns, but each column is adjusted on the page so they are equal
in length.
The following picture shows parallel columns and illustrates that text in parallel columns is
50 WordPerfect 10
grouped across the page in a row. The next row starts below the longest column of the previous
row. Parallel columns are useful for résumés, scripts, charts, or inventory lists.
The following picture shows parallel columns with block protect and illustrates that parallel
columns with block protect keep each row of columns together. If a column in one row becomes
so long that it moves across a page break, the entire row moves to the next page. You can also
use tables to create this type of column. For information about working with tables, see “Using
tables and charts” on page 101.
Any column can be deleted. You can use Reveal Codes to see column entries in your document,
and you can use shortcuts to make it easy to move around in columns. For more information
about Reveal Codes, see “Displaying Reveal Codes” in the online Help.
To apply a column to a page
1 Click a page.
2 Click Format } Columns.
3 Type a value in the Number of columns box.
4 In the Type of columns area, enable one of the following options:
Newspaper — makes text flow down a column to the bottom of a page or column break
and continues it at the top of the next column
Balance newspaper — adjusts newspaper columns so that columns are of equal length
Parallel — groups columns across the page in rows, and starts subsequent rows below the
longest column of the previous row
Formatting pages 51
Parallel w/block protect — keeps all rows of the columns together across page breaks
You can also apply columns to a page by clicking the Columns button on the
toolbar to specify the number of columns and other options.
To delete a column
1 Click in a column.
2 Click Format } Columns.

Marking misspelled words and grammatical errors as you type
Correcting spelling
You can use Spell-As-You-Go™ to check and correct spelling. Spell-As-You-Go underlines
misspelled words in red so that you can spot them and decide whether to correct them. You can
enable and disable Spell-As-You-Go.
You can also correct spelling errors using the spelling checker, QuickCorrect, Grammatik, and
Prompt As-You-Go™. You can check for misspelled words in documents, check spelling for a
specified number of pages, and have WordPerfect skip words in the active document only. As you
type, WordPerfect underlines in red words that are not in WordPerfect dictionaries.
Correcting grammar
You can use Grammar As-You-Go™ to correct grammar errors. Grammar As-You-Go underlines, in
blue, words or phrases that might be incorrect. You can enable or disable Grammar As-You-Go.
Grammar As-You-Go is similar to Grammatik and includes the checking features of
Spell-As-You-Go.
Replacing incorrect words
Prompt As-You-Go can act as a spelling checker, a grammar checker, or a thesaurus, depending on
where the cursor is placed. The Prompt As-You-Go list box displays suggestions as you type. If
you place the cursor on a misspelled word or a possible grammar error, a list of corrections
displays in the Prompt As-You-Go list box on the property bar. If you place the cursor on a word
that is properly spelled and free of grammar errors, a list of possible synonyms displays in the
Prompt As-You-Go list box.
Prompt As-You-Go helps you identify errors as you create documents by using a color coding
system to identify the type of error it encounters. If the text in the Prompt As-You-Go box is red,
the word may be misspelled. If the text is blue, there may be a grammar or usage error. If the
text is black, you can choose a synonym to replace the word. If the box is blank, there are no
suggestions for the word.

Inserting graphics
You can insert clipart images into a WordPerfect document. You can use the clipart images
included with WordPerfect. Clipart images are images that can be brought into a WordPerfect
document and edited or used as is.
You can insert pictures from the WordPerfect Office 2002 CD. When you insert a picture from a
CD, you have the choice of linking the picture to its source or embedding it into a document. For
more information about linking and embedding images, see “Linking and embedding images on
disk and video” in the online Help.
You can link to an image on disk. When you link to an image on disk, the location of the image,
not the image itself, is inserted into the document. This way, you can considerably reduce the
size of the file, especially if the image is used in several places throughout the document.
Inserting Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) objects into a document lets Windows
applications exchange information with each other. You can link or embed a picture that was
created in another program in a WordPerfect document. If you link the picture, the same
information exists in two files: the application where the picture was created (the source
application) and the application where it was copied (the client application). When you change
the information in the source application, the information is updated in the client application as
well. When you embed a picture, the picture becomes part of the document. You can edit the
picture directly. For more information about Object Linking and Embedding, see “Linking and
embedding objects” in the online Help.
You can adjust the properties of your scanner. You can scan an image, such as a picture or
drawing, directly into WordPerfect as a bitmapped image.
