This chapter tells you how to perform basic operations in WordPerfect.

In this chapter:

• “Starting WordPerfect” on page 19

• “Exploring the workspace” on page 19

• “Changing the workspace” on page 20

• “Quitting WordPerfect” on page 21

Starting WordPerfect

You can start WordPerfect as you would any other Windows program.

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 ` WordPerfect.

Exploring the workspace

In WordPerfect, the workspace (or “work area”) refers to everything within the WordPerfect application window.

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.

Part two : WordPerfect 19

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.

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 31.

This illustration shows items on the right side of the application bar.

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.

To change the workspace

1 Click Tool s ` Workspace manager.

2 Enable one of the following options:

• WordPerfect Office mode — displays the default WordPerfect workspace

• Microsoft Word mode — simulates the Microsoft® Word workspace by positioning the WordPerfect features,

including toolbars, keyboards, and menu items, where you would find the 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

To save workspace settings

1 Click Tool s ` Settings.

2 Click Environment.

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

4 In the Save workspace area, enable one of the following options:

• Always — always saves workspace settings when quitting WordPerfect

• Never — never saves workspace settings when quitting WordPerfect

20 WordPerfect basics

• Prompt on exit — prompts you to save workspace settings when quitting WordPerfect

Quitting WordPerfect

You can quit WordPerfect, thereby closing the application along with all of the documents you have open.

To quit WordPerfect

• Click File ` Exit.

You are prompted to save any modified documents before quitting.

• “Using guidelines” on page 25

For additional topics, please see “Viewing and navigating documents” in the WordPerfect Help.

Running multiple instances of WordPerfect

You can run multiple instances of WordPerfect — for example, if you want to work on multiple documents across multiple monitors.

To accommodate this new multiple-instance workflow, various traditional behaviors of WordPerfect have been adjusted.

• Starting WordPerfect: If you start WordPerfect while the program is already running, a new instance is created.

• Viewing documents: You can transfer an open document to a new instance of WordPerfect. See page 24.

• Template settings: You can choose to apply template changes to all instances of WordPerfect. See page 43

• Macro behavior: Macro commands that previously applied to “all documents” now apply only to those in the current instance of WordPerfect.

Switching document views

In WordPerfect, you can view documents in four ways: draft, page, two pages, and browser preview. You can also view documents with no user-interface elements.

To switch the document view

• Click View, and click one of the following:

• Draft — to hide some document elements such as footers, page breaks, margins, and watermarks

• Page — to display the document the way it will look when printed

• Two pa ge s — to display two consecutive pages in a document side by side

• Preview in browser — to display a document in HTML format

Changing document display settings

WordPerfect lets you change document display settings in several ways. You can enlarge or reduce the page display. As well, the document window can be minimized or maximized.

You can cascade or tile multiple open documents. You can also transfer an open document to a new instance of WordPerfect.

Part two : WordPerfect 23

To enlarge or reduce the page display

1 Click View ` Zoom.

2 Enable one of the following options:

• Margin width — displays a complete line or block of text within a window with minimal white space to the right

and left

• Other — lets you enter a custom zoom percentage

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.

Microsoft Word compatibility

WordPerfect offers compatibility features geared towards those who are migrating to WordPerfect from Microsoft Word and those who need to exchange WordPerfect documents with Microsoft Word users.

In this chapter:

• “Simulating the Microsoft Word workspace” on page 33

• “Sharing documents with Microsoft Word users” on page 33

For additional topics, please see “Compatibility with Microsoft Word” in the WordPerfect Help.

Simulating the Microsoft Word workspace

If you recently switched from Microsoft Word to WordPerfect, you may not be familiar with the WordPerfect workspace. While there are many similarities between the two applications, you may find it easier to simulate the Microsoft Word workspace until you are accustomed to working in WordPerfect. What the Microsoft Word workspace does is position the WordPerfect features, including toolbars and menu items, where you would find the equivalent feature in Microsoft Word. It also applies Microsoft Word keyboard shortcuts to WordPerfect features, allowing you to quickly find the tools you need to create documents in WordPerfect.

If you prefer to work in the WordPerfect workspace, but you want to access the most common WordPerfect features using Microsoft Word buttons and icons, you can display the Microsoft Word toolbar. In addition, you can display the Microsoft Word Compatibility toolbar, which gives you immediate access to features, such as saving documents to Microsoft Word and publishing to PDF.

To work in the Microsoft Word workspace

1 Click Tool s ` Workspace manager.

2 Enable the Microsoft Word mode option.

To display the Microsoft Word toolbar in WordPerfect

1 Click View ` Toolbars.

2 Enable one of the following check boxes:

• Microsoft Word 97

• Microsoft Word 2002

To display the Compatibility toolbar

1 Click View ` Toolbars.

2 Enable the Compatibility check box.

Sharing documents with Microsoft Word users

WordPerfect makes it possible for you to share WordPerfect documents with Microsoft Word users and they can share their documents with you.

Part two : WordPerfect 33

For example, to share a WordPerfect document with a Microsoft Word user, you must save the WordPerfect document as a Microsoft Word file. The saving process automatically converts the document to the Microsoft Word format.

In addition, if you receive a file created in Microsoft Word, all you need to do is open it in WordPerfect. The opening process automatically converts the file to the WordPerfect format. If you modify the same file and you want others to view the changes in Microsoft Word, then you need to save the file as a Microsoft Word file. You can specify that the default format when saving files is set to the Microsoft Word file format or you can choose to automatically save files in the same file format in which the file was opened. If you don’t specify the Microsoft Word format when saving, the file is saved as a WordPerfect file by default.

You can also insert a Microsoft Word document into a WordPerfect document.

To save a WordPerfect document as a Microsoft Word document

1 Click File ` Save as.

2 Choose the drive and folder where you want to save the file.

3 Type the filename in the Filename box.

4 Choose MS Word from the File type list box.

5 Click Save.

When you save a WordPerfect document as a Microsoft Word document, some of the formatting in the document may no longer display properly.

To open a Microsoft Word document

1 Click File ` Open.

2 Choose the drive and folder where the Microsoft Word file is stored.

If you can’t see the file, choose All files from the File type box.

3 Click the Microsoft Word file.

4 Click Open.

You can open documents created in Microsoft Word for MS-DOS versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5, Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0, and 7.0, and Microsoft Word 97, 2000, XP (2002), 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. You can also open Microsoft Word Open XML documents (.docx) and Microsoft Word Open XML Macro-enabled document (.docm).

When you open a Microsoft Word document in WordPerfect, some information in the file may not be displayed in the same way after it is converted.

To automatically save Microsoft Word files opened in WordPerfect to the Microsoft Word format

1 Click Tool s ` Settings ` Files.

2 On the Document page, choose a version of the MS Word format from the Default save file format list box.

To automatically save files to their original format

Document basics

You can create documents from scratch. You can also open existing documents — even those created in another word processor.

In this chapter:

• “Understanding the parts of a document” on page 37

• “Creating documents” on page 38

• “Opening documents” on page 38

Understanding the parts of a document

A WordPerfect document consists of one or more of the following components.

Tem pl at e

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 either the default template or a project template.

• When you open WordPerfect, the blank document you see is based on the default template. For information, see “Default template” on page 43.

• Project templates include fax cover sheets, memos, newsletters, and brochures. For information, see “Project templates” on page 44.

Tex t

Text can be typed directly into WordPerfect or imported from text editors or other word-processing applications.

For information, see “Text basics” on page 47.

Graphics

Graphics include shapes, drawings, pictures, and clipart.

• A shape is any object created with WordPerfect drawing tools.

• A drawing is created with Presentations menus and tools.

• A picture is a bitmap, or graphic image, that has been imported into a WordPerfect document. Pictures can be imported from storage media, photo-editing programs, or a scanner.

• Clipart images are images that can be brought into Corel applications and used as they are or edited.

For information, see “Graphics” on page 65.

Styles

A style is a collection of formatting attributes applied to text (characters, paragraphs, or documents) or graphics.

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 information, see “Styles” on page 77.

Part two : WordPerfect 37

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 information, see “Part Seven: Macros” on page 275.

Creating documents

You can create a document in WordPerfect by using the default template, a blank document that includes formatting elements such as margin settings, 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.

You can create an eBook in the EPUB format in addition to the MOBI format.

To create a document by using the default template

• Click File ` New.

You can also apply the default template to a new document by clicking the New blank document button on the toolbar. For more information on the default template, see page 43.

To create a document by using a project template

• Click File ` New from project.

For more information on project templates, see page 44.

To create an eBook

1 Click File ` New from project.

2 Click the Create new tab.

3 Choose [WordPerfect] from the list box.

If [WordPerfect] is not displayed in the list box, click Options, and click Refresh projects.

4 Choose eBook Publisher from the list.

5 Click Create.

For more information about creating eBooks, see “Publishing eBooks” on page 131.

Opening documents

You can open word-processing documents that were created in WordPerfect or in another application.

The advantage of opening — rather than importing — a document created in another application is that many of the formatting attributes in the original document (such as page size, margins, font properties, bullets, and underlining) are preserved.

38 Document basics

To op e n a d o c u m e n t

1 Click File ` Open.

You can also click the Open button on the toolbar.

2 Choose the drive and folder where the file is stored, and choose the file.

You can also type the full path and filename in the File name list box.

3 Click Open.

The document opens in a new document window, and a corresponding button is added to the application bar. You can have up to nine documents open within the application window.

You can also

Go to the folder where an open document is stored Right-click the document button on the application bar,

and choose Open containing folder.

Copy the folder path for an open document Right-click the document button on the application bar,

and choose Copy full path.

WordPerfect. See also “To transfer a document to a new instance of WordPerfect” on page 24.

Set documents accessed outside WordPerfect to open in the first available instance (rather than in a new instance)

Click Tools ` Settings ` Files. On the Document page, disable the following check box: Outside WordPerfect, open documents in new application window.

Part two : WordPerfect 39

PDF import

WordPerfect lets you import PDF files and scanned PDF files and then access and reuse the text and graphics content. For example, if you have a PDF file that was created by someone else, you can open it in WordPerfect and edit the contents.

When you import PDF files, the text formatting may appear different from that of the original PDF. You can alleviate most conversion issues if you are familiar with the two most common PDF document types: design documents and scanned documents.

Design documents

A design document is a PDF in which the layout is not necessarily based on flow — for example, a magazine advertisement. Design documents are typically created with graphics or illustration software, such as CorelDRAW.

Text strings may be individual lines across sections on the page, as opposed to a long paragraph that flows down a page. In such cases, WordPerfect provides text flows for all text strings that were saved in the graphics application when the PDF was created. The text and formatting of graphic elements are also maintained.

Images are maintained in their original file formats, as is text that is embedded in images that are not vector based.

The layout in the imported PDF may be different from the layout in the original PDF, but you can still modify text strings and create a new document without having to copy or redesign all the elements.

Scanned documents

A scanned document is a document that is read with a scanner and saved as a graphic file, such as a JPEG. Scanned documents store all information as one large image file that is not vector based.

When you import a scanned document, WordPerfect uses OCR technology to scan the document and reconstruct text strings and images. The quality of the original scanned PDF that you import affects the accuracy of what is displayed in the WordPerfect document.

To i m p o r t a P D F f i l e

1 Click File ` Open PDF.

2 Choose the drive and folder where the PDF document is stored.

3 Choose the file.

4 Click Open.

The Open PDF settings dialog box appears.

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 either the default template or a project template.

In this chapter:

• “Default template” on page 43

• “Project templates” on page 44

Default template

When you open WordPerfect, the blank document you see is based on the default template—a special WordPerfect template (WPT) file that records various workspace settings.

Besides storing basic document settings (such as the default font and the default text and graphics styles), the default template also stores any customizations you make to the WordPerfect work area.

Choosing the default template

You can choose a different default template.

You can also choose an additional objects template. This is a second default template that stores objects such as keyboards, menus, template macros, toolbars, and styles that you can use in addition to or in place of those in the default template. For example, a system administrator could use an additional objects template as a network template that would overwrite a user’s default template.

Applying the current document style to the default template

You can apply the style used in the current document to the default template.

Applying template settings across multiple instances

You can choose to apply template changes across all instances of WordPerfect. This technique is especially useful for refreshing all open documents that are based on the same template.

Document, style, and compatibility settings typically affect all instances, whereas customization settings affect only the current instance (and subsequent instances). For details, please see the WordPerfect Help.

To choose a different default template

Project templates

WordPerfect lets you create documents from project templates. A project template is a shell, or skeleton structure, that can consist of elements such as margins, styles, and graphics objects. You fill in the details and provide data to complete the project. WordPerfect provides an easy way to access and browse the rich collection of templates installed with the application. When you find the template you need, you can start a new document.

These are examples of project templates.

44 Templates

If you intend to use a specific template often, you can add it to the Favorites category.

Text formatting

In WordPerfect, you can use a variety of formatting tools to control the look of text.

In this chapter:

• “Modifying font settings” on page 51

• “Copying the text format” on page 53

• “Working with drop caps” on page 53

• “Inserting characters and symbols” on page 54

• “Correcting capitalization” on page 54

• “Correcting the spacing between words and sentences” on page 55

For additional topics, please see “Formatting text” in the WordPerfect Help.

Modifying font settings

You can apply formatting to text to change the font and its attributes, such as style, size, and color.

You can also apply relative font sizes, which allows you to format text relative to the specified font size. Suppose you want to add a heading to a document that has a 12-point paragraph font. If you select the heading text and specify a large relative font size, the text displays proportionately larger than the 12-point font.

Using Corel® RealTime Preview™ lets you view text fonts and sizes before you apply them. For example, you can view text as it will display in various fonts before choosing which is the most suitable.

WordPerfect lets you format text using recent font settings, including the font and its size. You can also change the default font and font size for the active document or for all documents.

To change the font

1 Click in the document.

2 Click Format ` Font.

Styles

A style is a collection of formatting attributes that you can apply to text or graphics.

WordPerfect provides several preset styles ready for use. You can also create your own styles.

In this chapter:

• “Using text styles” on page 77

• “Using graphics styles” on page 79

For information about list styles, variables, graphics boxes, and graphics lines, see “Working with styles” in the WordPerfect Help.

Using text styles

You can create text styles. Text styles are collections of formatting attributes that you can apply to selected text, paragraphs, or the entire document. Text styles you create are saved with the active document. You can create a QuickStyle for text. QuickStyles are styles created based on the formatting in effect at the cursor location. You can also create a QuickStyle for a paragraph.

Formatting text with styles ensures consistent formatting throughout a document. Whenever you change the formatting in a style, you change the appearance of all text that uses that style.

You can save a text style. You can also specify where to save text styles. When you save a text style, you can associate it with a specific template or with the active document only, or you can save it as a separate file. Saving a text style as a separate file is useful if you plan to use the style with a different template or on a different computer.

You can apply a style to text in a document.

You can edit a text style.

To create a text style

1 Click Format ` Styles.

2 Click Create.

3 In the Styles editor dialog box, type a name for the style in the Style name box.

You can create style names that contain up to 12 characters.

4 Type a description for the style in the Description box.

Page columns

You can use columns to divide text vertically on a page. You can use four types of columns in documents: newspaper, balanced newspaper, parallel, and parallel with block protect.

You can add columns to documents to create newsletters, glossaries, scripts, or inventory lists. You can discontinue columns when they are complete. You can also delete columns and quickly move through columns.

You can change the appearance of columns by inserting a vertical line between the columns. This creates a visual separation between the columns.

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.

Balanced newspaper columns

Balanced newspaper columns are similar to regular newspaper columns, but each column is adjusted on the page so that all columns are equal in length.

These are examples of pages with columns. The left page displays newspaper columns. The right page displays balanced newspaper

Parallel columns

columns.

The parallel column text is grouped across the page in a row. The next row starts below the longest column of the previous row. Parallel columns are useful for resumes, scripts, charts, inventory lists, or lists where columns span multiple pages.

This is an example of parallel columns.

Parallel columns with block protect

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.

Page numbering

In this chapter:

• “Numbering pages” on page 93

• “Changing the appearance of page numbers” on page 94

• “Forcing, suppressing, and stopping page numbers” on page 94

For additional topics, please see “Numbering the parts of a document” in the WordPerfect Help.

Numbering pages

WordPerfect allows you to insert page numbers in a document and to choose where to position page numbers on a page. When you begin page numbering, you can also specify which number to begin with. For example, you may want the first page of a document to be labeled page 3 instead of page 1.

These are examples of various page numbering options: (top left) no page number, (top right) page number in the bottom-right corner,

(bottom left) page number at the bottom center, and (bottom right) page number in the top-right corner.

You can also insert secondary page numbers, which allow you to start a new page numbering scheme in a document. For example, suppose you are creating a document in WordPerfect, but in the middle of the document, you need to add maps that were not created in WordPerfect. The WordPerfect document is 10 pages, but the maps need to be added as pages 7 and 8. To accomplish this, you can start page numbering at 1 at the beginning of the document and insert a secondary page number, number 9, on the document’s page 7. This would allow for the addition of the maps without disrupting the page numbering.

To insert page numbers

1 Click Format ` Page ` Numbering.

2 From the Position list box, choose a position for the page numbers.

3 From the Page numbering format list, choose a format for the page numbers.

To specify an alternate starting page

1 Click Format ` Page ` Numbering.

2 Click Set value.

3 In the Values dialog box, click the Page tab.

4 Type a new page number in the Set page number box.

5 Enable one of the following options:

• Always keep number the same — ensures that the number remains the same when the document is edited

Part two : WordPerfect 93

• Let number change as pages are added or deleted — lets the number change as the document is edited

When you merge a multiple-page form document, you can restart the page numbering for each merged record by enabling the Always keep number the same option.

To insert a secondary page number

1 Click Format ` Page ` Insert page number.

2 Choose Secondary page from the list.

3 Click Value/Adjust.

4 In the Values dialog box, click the Secondary tab.

5 Choose a numbering format from the Secondary page number method list box.
