GETTING STARTED

Getting started in
Corel WordPerfect Lightning

Thank you for trying Corel® WordPerfect® Lightning™. This powerful word­processing tool helps you accomplish a wide array of tasks, such as viewing and
printing documents, organizing your personal and professional projects, and reusing
content from Web pages and documents. This short guide provides you with all of the
knowledge you need to get started.

In WordPerfect Lightning, three simple tools let you create and reuse content in various
ways:

• Navigator — This folder-based application works like a notebook, allowing you to
store and organize your ideas and documents in one place.

• Viewer — The Viewer lets you view and print WordPerfect®, Microsoft® Word,
and PDF documents.

• Notes window — This light, easy-to-use editing tool lets you paste existing
content or write your own content. The Notes window also includes some text­formatting capabilities. You can create numbered and bulleted lists, change the
font and the color of text, and add tables, hyperlinks, and images to your notes.

To get started with WordPerfect Lightning, try performing a few simple tasks.

Creating notes

First, create a note by clicking the New Note button in the upper-left corner of the
Navigator.

Type a few words in the note. Notice that these words become the note’s title:

Next, open a Web page. Select the text and images that you want to copy, right-click,
and choose Copy. Now, right-click in the note, and choose Paste. The content that you
copied is now pasted in the note.

As you work, WordPerfect Lightning automatically saves the note in the Navigator. You
can then reuse that note any way you see fit. For example, you can insert it into a new
WordPerfect document, or you can simply hold onto it in the Navigator for safekeeping.

In the same note, try some basic text formatting. You can apply bold or italics to text,
or resize text, using the buttons provided at the top of the Notes window.

Working with documents

Like most people, you may frequently need to read and print documents. WordPerfect
Lightning includes a document viewer that opens WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, and
PDF documents. You can easily open a document in the Viewer by clicking the Open
Document button

at the top of the Navigator window.

With the document open in the Viewer, you can reuse the content in a number of ways.
For example, you can take a picture of text and images by using the Snapshot tool,
