This chapter tells you how to perform basic operations in WordPerfect.
In this chapter:
• “Starting WordPerfect”
• “Exploring the workspace”

• “Quitting WordPerfect” on page 22
Starting WordPerfect
You can start WordPerfect as you would any other Windows program.
NEW for X6: If you start WordPerfect while the program is already
running, a new instance is created. Running multiple instances of
WordPerfect is useful when, for example, you need to work on
multiple documents simultaneously:
• Rather than switching among document windows within
WordPerfect, you can switch among WordPerfect instances in
Windows.
• Rather than switching among documents at all, you can display
them simultaneously across multiple monitors (if available).
To start WordPerfect
• On the Windows taskbar, click Start ` All Programs `
WordPerfect Office X6 ` WordPerfect.
Exploring the workspace
In WordPerfect, the workspace (or “work area”) refers to everything
within the WordPerfect application window.
Part Two: WordPerfect 19
The document window
The large open area is the document window.
The menu bar
The menu bar, located at the top of the workspace, just below the title
bar, provides access to most of the WordPerfect commands.
The toolbars
Many menu commands can be accessed through toolbars, located
below the menu bar.
This is the WordPerfect toolbar.
The property bar
The property bar is a context-sensitive toolbar that displays buttons and
options related to the task you are performing. For example, when text
is selected, the property bar contains only text-related commands.
This is the property bar.
By default, the property bar is located above the document window.
The application bar
The application bar displays information about the status of the active
WordPerfect document. By default, the application bar is located below
the document window.
This illustration shows items on the right side of the application bar.
20 WordPerfect basics
When you open a file, a document button with the name of the file
appears on the application bar. You can use document buttons to
quickly move between the documents. For more information about
moving between documents, see “Navigation” on page 29.
Changing the workspace
WordPerfect lets you use different workspaces for creating
documents. When choosing a workspace, you are specifying the
toolbars, buttons, options, and menus that WordPerfect
displays.
You can customize and save workspace settings, including shadow
cursor settings, measurement and ruler settings, toolbar, application
bar and property bar settings. Saving your workspace settings ensures
they remain in effect until you change them.

workspace

equivalent features in Microsoft Word
• WordPerfect Classic mode (version 5.1) — lets you work in the
familiar visual environment of Corel WordPerfect 5.1 and use its
keystrokes
• WordPerfect Legal mode — exposes the WordPerfect legal
features, such as tools that let you create specialized legal
documents such as cases and pleadings
Part Two: WordPerfect 21
To save workspace settings

2 Click Environment.
3 In the Environment settings dialog box, click the Interface tab.

traditional behaviors of WordPerfect have been adjusted.

Working with the ruler and ruler guides
The ruler is used to display page format elements, such as margins,
tabs, column gutters, and indentation. The ruler has two parts: the
line and the tab bar.
• The line resembles a ruler and contains graduated measurements
for the area between the left and right margins.
• The tab bar, the white space in the lower part of the ruler, displays
the triangular shaped tab marks.
Ruler guides are black dotted vertical lines that allow you to see where
the settings for your margins and indentations are in relation to where
the text displays on the page. For example, when you click a tab, the
ruler guide and a box containing the tab’s settings are displayed.
