-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The Advance feature advances the printer to a specific
- position on the page. To advance the printer up, down, left, or
- right of the current printing position (that is, the place where
- the [Adv] code is entered), enter a distance that is relative to
- the cursor's position when you use the command. To advance the
- printer to a specific line or column, enter a measurement that is
- an absolute position on the page. When using the Advance to Line
- option, enter the distance from the top of the page. When using
- the Advance to Position option, enter the distance from the left
- edge of the page.
- To use the Advance feature, move the cursor to the place
- where you want the advance to begin and follow the key sequence.
- After you press F7 (Exit), type the text to be advanced.
- Although the status line will reflect the advance position,
- the cursor does not move when you use this command. To return to
- the original position when using Advance Up, Down, Left, or Right,
- select the opposite Advance option (down if you used up, right if
- you used left, and so on), and enter the same distance you
- specified earlier. To return to the original line or column when
- using Advance to Line or Advance to Position, repeat the advance
- procedure, selecting the same Advance option but entering the
- original line or offset position as the distance. To prevent the
- text from being advanced as indicated, locate the appropriate
- [Adv] code in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it.
- The Advance feature is especially useful in layout work
- involving text and graphics on a page. You can use it to fine-tune
- the placement of headings in text boxes and to position text that
- overlays other types of graphics on the page (see Graphics).

- or Edit pull-down
- Append
- <file name>
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- When you append a block of text, WordPerfect adds it to the
- end of a document saved on disk. You can append a discrete block
- of text such as a sentence, paragraph, or page without marking it
- as a block first. When appending any other type of block (such as
- several words but not an entire sentence, several lines but not an
- entire paragraph) or a tabular column or rectangle, you must use
- Block to mark the text to be appended before you use Move (Ctrl-
- F4).
- When using either method, indicate the type of block and
- select the Append option. You are then asked for the name of the
- file to which this text will be appended. Type in the file name.
- If this file is not in the current (default) directory, include
- the path name. After entering the name, press ─┘ to have the text
- added to the end of the disk file.
-
- Note: You can also append the text of a disk file to the
- document currently in the editing screen. To do this, move to the
- end of the document (Home Home Down Arrow), select Retrieve Text
- (Shift-F10), and enter the name of the document whose text you
- want appended. The same thing happens when you use the Retrieve
- option on the List Files menu and have a document on the editing
- screen.

- A)Base Font(A

-
- Ctrl-F8 (Font) or Font pull-down
- Base Font
- [highlight font] or N Name Search
- Select; or [double-click with mouse]
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The current font represents the font in which the text is
- normally printed. This font depends upon the printer you have
- selected and the initial font you have assigned to it (see
- Printer, Edit). To switch to a new basic font in the document, use
- the Base Font option on the Font menu. When you select a new font
- in this way, it becomes the new current font from the cursor's
- position forward in the document.
- The current font also determines what sizes will be used when
- you select different font size options such as Fine, Small, or
- Large, or different attribute options such as Bold or Italics (see
- Font). For example, if you select a new base font of Times Roman
- 10 point, WordPerfect will use Times Roman 10 point bold to print
- boldfaced text in the document, Times Roman 10 point Italic to
- print italicized text, and so on. Likewise, when you make a change
- to the size, it will use different-sized fonts in the Times Roman
- family, such as Times Roman 6 point for Fine, Times Roman 8 point
- for Small, Times Roman 12 point for Large, and so forth. The
- actual sizes chosen for each change in size depend upon the fonts
- your printer supports and the fonts you have selected for that
- printer. Moreover, the font choices available when you change the
- current font with the Base Font option are determined by the fonts
- you have selected for the printer you are using (see Cartridges
- and Fonts). To prevent a font change from taking place, locate the
- [Font] code in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it.
- You can also change the base font by using the Format menu
- (Shift-F8) and selecting the Document option; then select Initial
- Base Font. Do this when you want to override in the current
- document only the initial base font selected for your printer.
- Changing the base font from the Font pull-down menu, the
- Format menu (Shift-F8), or the Font key (Ctrl-F8) all change the
- base font only in your current document. To change the base font
- that you have assigned to your printer, see Printer, Edit.

- Binding Offset
- <measurement for binding width> ─┘
- F7 (Exit)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- You can use the Binding Offset option on the Print menu to
- ensure that there is sufficient room to bind the document when it
- is going to be reproduced on two-sided copies. To determine how
- far the text is shifted to the right on odd-numbered pages and to
- the left on even-numbered pages, you set a binding width.
- The binding width is entered as an absolute measurement from
- the left or right edge of the paper and overrides the left- and
- right-margin settings that are in effect. You can enter the
- binding width anytime prior to printing the document.
- If you intend to reproduce the document on just one side of
- the paper, you can ignore the Binding Offset option; just increase
- the left-margin setting to allow sufficient room for binding.
- To remove the binding width before printing a document during
- the same work session, select Binding Offset from the Print menu
- and enter 0 as the binding width measurement.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The Block command is used to highlight (mark) a section of
- text for use with other WordPerfect commands. Once you have marked
- a block of text, you can use any of the following WordPerfect
- features:
-

-
- B)Usage--Marking a Block(B
-
- To mark a block of text, position the cursor at the beginning
- of the block and select Block. The message "Block on" will blink
- on and off at the bottom left of your screen. Position the cursor
- at the end of the block; as you move the cursor, the text included
- will be highlighted. Then select the operation you want applied to
- the block.
- When marking the block, you have several options for
- positioning the cursor. Use the Search feature to move the cursor
- forward or backward to a particular place in the document. Press
- ─┘ to extend the block to the next [HRt] code (hard return). Type
- a particular character to extend the block to that character--such
- as a period to include text up to the end of the sentence. Press
- Up Arrow or Down Arrow to extend the block up or down to include
- several lines. Press Ctrl-Right Arrow to extend the block to
- include several words.
- Many WordPerfect commands behave differently if you have
- marked the text before using them. The differences are summarized

- or Edit pull-down then Protect Block
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- You can use block protection to ensure that any block of text
- is not split between pages. If you make editing changes that would
- split the protected text between pages, WordPerfect will shift the
- entire block to the following page. You can use this feature
- effectively to keep tables on a single page.
- To block-protect text, move the cursor to the beginning of
- the block, select Block, and move the cursor to the end of the
- block. Then select Format, and in response to the prompt, select Y
- to have the block protected; or select Protect Block from the Edit
- pull-down menu.
- To remove block protection, locate the [Block Pro:On] or
- [Block Pro:Off] code in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it.

- [highlight text]
- F6 (Bold) or Font pull-down then Appearance

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to enhance portions of text with
- boldfacing by placing the text between a pair of Bold formatting
- codes. Boldfacing is indicated on the screen by double-intensity
- or a different color. When printing the boldfaced text, the
- program will either select a bold version of the font in use or
- doublestrike the text, depending upon the type of printer you
- have.
- You can also boldface text by using Font (Ctrl-F8), selecting
- the Appearance option and then selecting Bold, or by using the
- Font or Edit pull-down menu.
- To remove boldfacing, locate either the [BOLD] or [bold] code
- in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it. You only have to delete
- one of the pair to delete both and remove the boldfacing.
- When the cursor is located on a boldfaced character in the
- text, the number at the Pos indicator is shown in the same
- attribute used by your monitor to display bold text (double-
- intensity or a new color). As soon the cursor is moved ahead of or
- behind the Bold code, this number returns to the normal attribute.
- Thus, you can refer to the Pos indicator to locate a Bold code for
- deletion without using the Reveal Codes screen.
- When you are about to delete a Bold code in this way (whether
- intentionally or not), WordPerfect prompts you for confirmation.
- Select Y for Yes to delete; if you simply press ─┘, the
- boldfacing will remain.

- B)Usage(B
-
- If your printer can use cartridges or soft fonts other than
- those built into it, you need to select them before you can use
- them in your documents. The Cartridges and Fonts menu will show
- you the cartridges and print wheels that your printer supports and
- the amount of memory available for downloading soft fonts. With
- version 5.1, you will also see built-in fonts. In addition, font
- families will be grouped together so that you can select them
- easily. At the bottom of the screen, there are three options:
-
- 1 Select; 2 Change Quantity; N Name search: 1
-
- If your laser printer has more than 512K of memory, select
- the Change Quantity option. Enter the amount of additional memory
- in kilobytes above the standard configuration for your printer
- (512K for the LaserJet), plus the amount of memory available for
- soft fonts, shown on the screen. For example, if you equip your
- LaserJet with 1.5Mb of total memory (1Mb or 1024K additional),
- enter 1374 for the quantity--1024K extra memory plus the 350K
- currently available for soft fonts.
- To select cartridge fonts, be sure that the highlight cursor
- is on "Cartridges" and then choose the Select option. Mark the
- cartridges you wish to use by highlighting them and typing an
- asterisk (*). Press Exit (F7) twice, and WordPerfect will update
- the printer definition file.
- Move the highlight cursor to Soft Fonts and choose Select
- Fonts to display a list of font groups. Select a group, and then
- mark with an asterisk (*) all of the fonts that will be present
- (that is, downloaded) before the print job begins. Mark all of the
- fonts that will be downloaded during the print job with a plus
- (+). To quickly locate the font you want to add from the list, use
- Name Search by pressing F2 or N and typing the first few letters
- of the font name. Press Exit (F7) three times, and WordPerfect
- will update the printer definition file.
- If you have marked fonts that are to be downloaded by
- WordPerfect during the print job, you must indicate the directory
- that contains the fonts. Note that before printing you must
- manually load any fonts marked with *, using the Initialize
- Printer option on the Print menu, and then WordPerfect will
- download them for you. To indicate this directory, select the Path
- for Downloadable Fonts and Printer Command Files option and enter
- the complete path name.
- The fonts you have selected will appear on the Base Font menu
- and may be used in the document either by selecting a new base
- font or by selecting a new size or appearance (see Base Font and
- Font).
- To unmark fonts, repeat the procedure for editing the fonts
- for the selected printer. If you marked a font with an asterisk
- (*), highlight it again and type another * to unmark it. If you
- marked the font with a plus (+), type + again to unmark it.

- Codes
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect enters formatting codes into your document as you
- use various commands. These codes are then sent to your printer
- when you print the document. They instruct the printer on how to
- accomplish various formatting changes in the document.
- Some codes, like those used to boldface and underline text,
- are inserted in pairs, with one code turning on the effect and the
- other one turning it off.
- WordPerfect keeps the formatting codes hidden from view on
- the editing screen. To see them, you must press Reveal Codes (Alt-
- F3), or select Reveal codes from the Edit pull-down menu. This
- causes the program to split the screen into two windows. The lower
- window shows the text with all of the codes inserted by
- WordPerfect commands. WordPerfect indicates the position of the
- cursor in the Reveal Codes screen by highlighting the code or
- character. When using Reveal Codes, you can use all of the
- standard WordPerfect editing features (including Undelete). When
- you want the Reveal Codes screen to disappear, select Reveal Codes
- a second time.
- In WordPerfect 5.1, you can adjust the size of this window,
- which is normally 11 lines, by selecting Screen (Ctrl-F3) when the
- Reveal Codes window is displayed and choosing Window, then
- entering the number of lines you want it to have (the maximum
- screen size is 24 lines). If you are using pull-down menus, choose
- Edit and then Window.
- Most of the time, you use the Reveal Codes screen to locate
- the position of a code that you wish to delete or change (you
- can't always tell when the cursor is on a code just by looking at
- the regular editing screen). To quickly locate the position of a
- code, you can use WordPerfect's Search feature (see Search).
- You can prevent a formatting change that you have introduced
- in the document by locating and deleting the code in the Reveal
- Codes screen. If the cursor is located on the code, press the
- Delete key to remove it. If the cursor is after the code, press
- the Backspace key to remove it.

- B)Key Sequence--Turning Columns On and Off(B
-
- To turn text columns on and off in the document:
-
- Alt-F7 (Columns/Table) or Layout pull-down
- Columns
- On; Off
-
- Note: If you are using WordPerfect 5.0, the Alt-F7 key is
- called Math/Columns. Column Define and Column On/Off are options
- on the menu that appears when you press Alt-F7.
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- WordPerfect can automatically format two different types of
- text columns: newspaper (also called winding or snaking columns)
- and parallel (or comparison) columns. Don't confuse either of
- these with tabular columns, which are set simply by pressing Tab
- to go the next tab stop. Newspaper columns are used with
- continuous text (as in a newsletter), when it does not matter
- where the material in the column ends, because the program wraps
- the text to the top of the next column. Parallel columns are used
- when the material consists of separate items that should remain
- together on a page (as in scripts).
- Several basic steps are involved in using either type of text
- column:
-
- 1. Position the cursor at the beginning of the area to be
- formatted in columns, or anywhere before this point in
- the document.
- 2. Define the columns.
- 3. Turn on the columns.
- 4. Enter the text for the columns.
- 5. Turn off the columns.
-
- You can also use the Tables feature in WordPerfect 5.1 for
- parallel columns (see Tables).
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Columns(B
-
- The steps involved in defining newspaper and parallel columns
- are similar:
-
- 1. Select Columns/Table (Alt-F7) or use the Layout pull-
- down menu.
- 2. Select Columns. (In version 5.0, select Column Def in
- place of steps 2 and 3.)
- 3. Select the Define option.
- 4. Select the Type option. WordPerfect displays the options
-
- Column Type: 1 Newspaper; 2 Parallel; 3 Parallel with
- Block Protect: 0
-
- 5. Choose the appropriate column type.
- 6. Select the Number option and enter the number of columns
- you want (the default is 2, and you can set up to 24
- columns).
- 7. WordPerfect automatically calculates the distance
- between columns, depending upon the number and the
- margin settings. To override this distance, select the
- Distance Between Columns option and enter the distance
- you want to use.
- 8. WordPerfect automatically calculates the left- and
- right-margin settings for the columns, depending upon
- the number of columns, the distance between them, and
- the margin settings. If you wish to have unequal col-
- umns, select the Margins option and the left- and right-
- margin settings for the column (or columns) you wish to
- change.
- 9. Press Exit (F7) to save your column definition.
-
- When you define text columns, WordPerfect inserts a [Col
- Def:...] code in your document.
-
- B)Usage--Turning On the Columns(B
-
- After defining the columns, you are returned to the Columns
- menu. If you wish to use your columns at the cursor's present
- position, select the On option in version 5.1, or the Column
- On/Off option in version 5.0. If you wish to use the columns
- somewhere later on in the document, exit from this menu, move the
- cursor to the place where you want your columns to begin, and then
- return to this option. When you turn on columns, WordPerfect
- inserts the code [Col On] in the document.
- You can't use the Column On/Off option on the Columns menu
- until after you have defined your columns. If you have defined
- several different columns in a document, WordPerfect will use the
- one whose [Col Def:...] code immediately precedes the [Col On]
- code.
-
- B)Usage--Editing the Text Columns(B
-
- When typing or editing the text for your columns, you can use
- most WordPerfect editing features. However, you can't sort, add
- footnotes, or change the margin settings. In addition, movement
- between columns is a little different in Column mode; these
- techniques are summarized in the table below. The delete keys work
- within a single column. This means that pressing Delete to the End
- of Page (Ctrl-Page Down) deletes from the cursor to the end of the
- column. If you have an advanced keyboard, Alt-Left Arrow and Alt-
- Right Arrow move from column to column.
-
- Cursor Movement in Column Mode:
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- KEY SEQUENCE RESULT
-
- Ctrl-Home Right Arrow Moves cursor between columns
- or Left Arrow
-
- Ctrl-Home Home Moves to the first column
- Left Arrow
-
- Ctrl-Home Home Moves to the last column
- Right Arrow
-
- Right Arrow Moves to the first character of the
- next column when the cursor is on
- the last character in one column
-
- Left Arrow Moves to the last character of the
- previous column when the cursor is
- on the first character in one
- column
-
- Ctrl-Return Ends a column and moves to the next
- column; In a rightmost newspaper-
- style column, also creates a page
- break
-
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Note: Other cursor control key sequences work as they do in
- Editing mode and scroll all columns simultaneously.
-
- You can use Move (Ctrl-F4) to cut or copy a sentence or
- paragraph in a single column. However, to cut or copy an entire
- column (equivalent to a page), you must use Block (Alt-F4) with
- Block Move or Copy. Do not try to use the Tabular Column option to
- move a column, as a text column is not defined by tab stops and
- can't be properly retrieved as a tabular column.
-
- B)Usage--Editing Newspaper Columns(B
-
- When entering text in newspaper-style columns, WordPerfect
- inserts a Soft Page code [SPg] when you reach the bottom margin of
- the page and the cursor moves to the top of the next column. To
- end a column before you reach the bottom margin, press Hard Page
- (Ctrl-Enter) to insert a Hard Page code [HPg]. To shorten the
- length of all newspaper columns on the page, increase the bottom
- margin.
-
- B)Usage--Editing Parallel Columns(B
-
- When entering text in parallel columns, press Hard Page
- (Ctrl-Enter) to move to the next column across. When you press
- Hard Page after entering the text for the last column, the cursor
- returns to the beginning of the first column. If you are using
- parallel columns without block protection, the codes
-
- [Col Off]; [HRt]; [Col On]
-
- are inserted into the document at this point. If you are using
- parallel columns with block protection, the codes
-
- [BlockPro:Off][Col Off]; [Hrt]; [BlockPro:On][Col On]
-
- are inserted into the document. All items between the
- [BlockPro:On] and [BlockPro:Off] codes are kept together on a
- page. If the material will be split across pages by a soft page
- break [SPg], WordPerfect will move it all to the next page.
-
- B)Usage--Turning Off the Columns(B
-
- When you are finished entering your columns and wish to
- return to the normal format of your document, you need to turn
- off the columns. To do this, press Columns/Table (Alt-F7), then
- select the Columns option, and select Off. WordPerfect inserts a
- [Col Off] code in your document at the cursor's position.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- You can use Compose (Ctrl-2) to create digraphs such as æ or
- diacriticals such as é or ñ. To produce such characters, press
- Compose (Ctrl-2) or choose Characters from the Font menu, and then
- enter the two characters that make up the special character. (The
- order in which the characters are entered doesn't matter.) If you
- type the a and e, for example, æ will appear at the cursor's
- position. However, the fact that you can create these special
- characters on your screen doesn't mean that your printer can
- reproduce them. This depends upon the printer and fonts that you
- are using.
- You can also use Compose to produce specific characters in
- one of the many characters sets created by WordPerfect. Each set
- is assigned a number, as is each character in that set. To view
- the character sets, you need to retrieve the document CHARACTR.DOC
- on the Conversion disk. You can also retrieve the document
- CHARMAP.TST to see which of these characters your printer can
- produce.
- To enter a character from one of these sets, first press
- Compose (Ctrl-2) or select characters from the Font pull-down
- menu. Enter the number of the character set, type a comma, and
- enter the number of the character in that set. Then press ─┘. For
- example, to enter the ½ symbol, which is character 17 of character
- set 4, you press Compose (Ctrl-2), then enter 4,17 and press ─┘.
- If your printer can't produce the character you entered with
- Compose, you will see a solid rectangle instead of the desired
- character in your document. If your printer can print graphics,
- WordPerfect 5.1 will create that character for it.
- WordPerfect doesn't enter any codes when you type a special
- character with Compose. Therefore, to remove the character, simply
- delete it as you would any other character in the document.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The Conditional End of Page command is used to keep a group
- of lines together on a page. Once the group of lines is marked, if
- subsequent changes to an earlier part of the document result in a
- soft page break within the block, WordPerfect will move the entire
- block to the beginning of the next page (resulting in a shorter
- previous page).
- To use the Conditional End of Page command, you must first
- count the number of lines you want to keep together and locate the
- cursor somewhere on the line above the group. Then, follow the key
- sequence. To remove the conditional end of page, locate the [Cndl
- EOP] code in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it.
-
- Note: You can also use Block Protect to accomplish the same
- thing. When you use this command, you don't have to know the
- number of lines involved, as you indicate the text to stay on a
- page by marking it as a block.

- The place in the document that contains the text referred to is
- the target.
- You can mark the reference and target at the same time except
- when referencing a graphics box caption. In this case, you must
- mark the reference and the target separately. When you mark a
- reference only, a question mark appears in place of the reference
- number. This question mark is replaced with the actual figure,
- note, or page number when you generate the references.

- then Move; Copy
- or Edit pull-down then Move (Cut); Copy
- [move cursor to place where text is to be moved or
- copied] ─┘
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect provides two methods for moving (cutting) or
- copying text, with or without using a mouse (Version 5.1). In
- addition, if you have an enhanced keyboard, version 5.1 provides
- keyboard shortcuts for these operations. When you move text, it is
- cut from its original position and relocated in the new position
- you indicate. When you copy text, it remains in its original
- position and is copied to the new position you indicate. To move
- or copy text between document windows, press Switch (Shift-F3)
- before pressing ─┘ to retrieve the text. To be able to press ─┘
- without inserting the copied or moved text, press F1 (Cancel);
- then to retrieve the text where you want it, press Shift-F10 ─┘.
- If you want to move or copy a tabular column, a rectangle, or
- any block that is not an entire sentence, paragraph, or page, you
- need to mark the block before you move or copy it.
- Text that has been moved or copied remains in a special place
- in the computer's memory (known as a buffer) even after it has
- been retrieved the first time. To retrieve another copy of the
- text elsewhere in the document, take these steps:
-
- 1. Relocate the cursor to the place where you want the
- second copy to appear.
- 2. Press Move (Ctrl-F4). If you are using pull-down menus,
- select Paste from the Edit menu.
- 3. Select Retrieve.
- 4. Select the appropriate option: Block (use this option
- even if you cut or copied an entire sentence,
- paragraph, or page); Tabular Column; or Rectangle.
-
- You can also retrieve text by pressing Retrieve (Shift-F10)
- and then the ─┘ key.
- With WordPerfect 5.1, you can use keyboard shortcuts for
- moving and copying text on some keyboards. Block the text; then
- press Ctrl-Delete to move it or Ctrl-Ins to copy it.
-
- B)Usage--Marking a Tabular Column(B
-
- To mark a tabular column for moving or copying, you must
- separate each column by at least one tab stop. Move the cursor to
- the first tab stop in the first line of the column. Press Block
- (Alt-F4), then move the cursor to the beginning of the column in
- the last line. Then press Move (Ctrl-F4) and select the Tabular
- Column option. WordPerfect will highlight just the column. With a
- mouse, highlight to the end of the column (more will be
- highlighted than you want, but don't worry); then choose Select
- from the Edit menu. Tabular Column will be selected for you, so
- just press ─┘. Finally, choose either Copy or Move and complete
- the procedure by moving the cursor to the column's new position
- and pressing ─┘.
-
- B)Usage--Marking a Rectangle(B
-
- A rectangular block is marked for moving or copying from
- corner to corner. To mark a rectangle, position the cursor at one
- corner--either the upper left or the lower right--and press Block
- (Alt-F4). Then move the cursor to the opposite corner and press
- Move (Ctrl-F4). (A regular text block will be highlighted until
- you choose Rectangle.) Select Rectangle, choose either Copy or
- Move, and complete the procedure by moving the cursor to the
- rectangle's new position and pressing ─┘. You can also use the
- mouse to highlight the block.
- To abandon the move or copy operation that you have
- initiated, press Cancel (F1). If the marked block disappears from
- your editing screen when you use Cancel, press Move (Ctrl-F4) and
- select the Retrieve and Block (or Column or Rectangle) options to
- have it reappear in its original position.

- If you want to delete several files, mark each one by typing
- an asterisk (*) by its name. In WordPerfect 5.1, you can mark all
- the files in a directory with an asterisk by pressing Mark Text
- (Alt-F5); pressing Alt-F5 a second time will unmark all of the
- files. Then select the Delete option and confirm the deletion by
- selecting Yes.
- You can't restore a deleted file in WordPerfect as you can
- deleted text. Therefore, use the Delete option on List Files with
- care. If you do delete a file in error, turn to DOS utilities such
- as Norton Utilities or Mace Utilities to restore the file.

-
- F5 (List Files) ─┘
- or File pull-down then List Files ─┘
- [highlight directory name]
- Delete
- Delete <drive/directory path name>? No (Yes)
-
- B)Key Sequence--Assigning a Descriptive Alias(B
-
- To give a directory a descriptive alias:

- [enter existing directory path name]
- F9 (End Field)
- [enter descriptive alias]
- F9 (End Field)
- Shift-F9 (Merge Codes)
- End Record
- F10 (Save) ─┘ or File pull-down then Save
- \WP{WP}.DLN ─┘
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to manage your document files by
- saving them in different directories. Usually, the directories
- that contain your documents are organized as subdirectories of the
- WordPerfect directory (such as C:\WP\FILES) that contains the
- WordPerfect program files. You can create and remove such
- directories from within WordPerfect instead of resorting to the
- DOS Make Directory (md) command. However, WordPerfect won't let
- you delete any directory until you have removed all of the files
- within it (see Deleting Files).
-
- B)Usage--Creating Directories(B
-
- To create a new directory, perform the procedure to change
- directories (outlined in the key sequence). When WordPerfect finds
- that the directory doesn't exist, it prompts you to create it. If
- you type Y for Yes, the program creates the directory for you.
- When entering the path name for the directory, begin with the
- drive letter and a colon (such as B:, C:, or D:) if it is on
- another drive, and then list all of the directories in the
- hierarchy, separated by a backslash (\). If the directory is on
- the same disk, you need only enter the directory names separated
- by backslashes.
-
- B)Usage--Using Directory Aliases(B
-
- In versions of WordPerfect prior to 5.1, you were restricted
- to the DOS naming conventions (eight characters plus an optional
- three-character extension) when naming directories. In WordPerfect
- 5.1, you can give a directory a more descriptive name of up to 30
- characters, called an alias. The alias will be displayed when you
- have the Long Display option on in the List Files screen (see List
- Files).
- To create a directory alias, in a blank editing screen type
- the full DOS path name of the existing directory. Then press F9
- and type the descriptive alias name. Press Shift-F9 (Merge Codes)
- and select End Record. An example on your screen should look like
- this:
-
- C:\WP51\LOTUS{END FIELD}
- OCTOBER SPREADSHEETS{END FIELD}
- {END RECORD}
-
- From then on, the directory named LOTUS will appear as OCTOBER
- SPREADSHEETS when you display the List Files screen and the Long
- Display option is on.
- You can give any of your existing directories aliases by
- repeating this procedure for each of them. When you have finished
- assigning aliases, save the file as WP{WP}.DLN in your root
- directory (C:). Whenever you want to assign aliases to other
- directories, you can retrieve this file, edit it to assign the new
- aliases, and save it.
-
- B)Usage--Changing Directories(B
-
- You can change the current (or default) directory in
- WordPerfect using List Files (F5) from either the editing screen
- or the List Files menu. To change the directory from the editing
- screen, press List Files (F5) (or select List Files from the File
- pull-down menu) and type =. Then enter the new drive/directory
- path in response to the "New directory =" prompt and press ─┘.
- Edit the current path name displayed after this prompt, or retype
- it from scratch.
- WordPerfect responds by showing you the new default
- directory, terminated by *.* (the global wildcards for listing all
- files in the directory). To return to the editing screen, press
- Cancel (F1). To obtain a listing of all of the files in the new
- default directory, press ─┘.
- If you don't know the name of the default directory or where
- it is located on the path, you can change the directory using the
- Other Directory option on the List Files menu. To view aliases you
- have assigned if the List Files screen is not showing the long
- display, select the Short/Long Display option and choose Long
- Display. If the name of the desired directory appears at the top
- of the list, move the highlight cursor to it. If it is located on
- a level above that of the current directory, highlight ".. Parent
- <Dir>" and press ─┘ twice. Then locate and highlight the
- directory name on the new list. If the desired directory is a
- subdirectory of one shown on the list, highlight that directory
- and press ─┘ twice (or double-click on the directory and press
- ─┘ or the right mouse button), then move the highlight cursor to
- its name on the new list. Select the Other Directory option, and
- WordPerfect will supply the path to the highlighted directory as
- the new directory to change to; to accept it, press ─┘. To return
- to the editing screen, press Cancel (F1) twice. To obtain a
- directory listing of all the files in the new default directory,
- press ─┘.
-
- B)Usage--Deleting Directories(B
-
- To delete a directory, first make sure that there are no
- files in it. You can do this by changing to the directory and
- listing the files as outlined above. With the highlight cursor on
- the directory name, select the Delete option on the List Files
- menu (F5 ─┘) and answer Yes to the prompt to delete the
- directory.

- F7 (Exit)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect displays all characters on the screen in a mono-
- spaced pitch of 10 characters per inch, regardless of what font
- you are using. Sometimes, when you're setting up complex tables or
- using the Advance feature, some characters will overlap and
- therefore not be visible on the screen. To help you see the
- spacing between characters, you can change the display pitch on
- the Document menu, accessed from Format (Shift-F8).
- Two options are attached to Display Pitch: Automatic, which
- is set to Yes or No, and Width, which allows you to enter a
- measurement for increasing or decreasing the display pitch. When
- Automatic is set to Yes, you cannot change the display pitch. If
- you set Automatic to No, you can change it from the default
- setting of 0.1".
- You can change the display pitch from anywhere in the
- document; the new pitch affects the entire document. To return the
- document to the normal display width of one-tenth inch, return to
- the Display Pitch option and enter Y for the Auto setting and .1
- as the Width measurement.

- Create a comment? No (Yes)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to enter nonprinting comments anywhere
- in the text of your document. You can use these comments can be
- used as reminders of editing changes that still remain to be done.
- You can use the Search feature to quickly locate comments in the
- text, because WordPerfect inserts the code [Comment] in the
- document when you create a comment (see Search).
- On the editing screen, the text entered as a comment is
- displayed within a double-lined box. If you create the comment in
- the middle of a line, the comment box will split the sentence on
- different lines, although the cursor will bypass the comment box
- when moving from the part of the sentence before the comment to
- the part after it.
- WordPerfect allows you to convert the text entered into a
- comment box into document text, which will be printed. To do this,
- you follow the procedure for editing a comment except that you
- select the Convert to Text option on the Comment menu. The box
- surrounding the comment disappears, and WordPerfect reformats the
- text as required.
- You can also convert document text to comment text, so that
- it is no longer part of the document, nor is it printed. First,
- block the text to be converted, then select Edit and Comment. When
- you do this, a prompt will appear. When you select Yes, the text
- will be enclosed in a comment box.
- To remove a comment from the document, locate and delete the
- [Comment] code in the Reveal Codes screen.

-
- B)Key Sequence--Comparing Screen and Disk Versions(B
-
- To compare a document on screen with a document on disk:
-
- Alt-F5 (Mark Text) or Mark pull-down
- Generate
- Compare Screen and Disk Document and Add Redline and
- Strikeout
- Other Document: <file name> ─┘
-
- B)Key Sequence--Removing Redline/Strikeout(B
-
- To remove all redline markings and strikeout text added when
- using Document Compare:
-
- Alt-F5 (Mark Text) or Mark pull-down
- Generate
- Remove Redline Markings and Strikeout Text from
- Document
- Delete redline markings and strikeout text? No (Yes)
-
- Note: You can also choose Document Compare from the Mark
- pull-down menu; then choose Add Markings or Remove Markings.
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The Document Compare feature checks the document on the
- editing screen against any version of the document on disk. It
- compares only phrases in the two documents, and it automatically
- indicates any discrepancies between the two by marking the
- document on your screen. WordPerfect considers a phrase to be any
- text between markers, including any punctuation marks, hard
- returns, hard page breaks, Footnote and Endnote codes, and the end
- of the document.
- If phrases that don't exist in the disk version have been
- added to the document on screen, WordPerfect redlines the text in
- the screen version. If phrases that still exist in the disk
- version no longer exist in the document on screen, the program
- marks the text with strikeout. If phrases have been moved in the
- document on screen from their position in the disk version,
- WordPerfect inserts "THE FOLLOWING TEXT WAS MOVED" on a line
- before the text and "THE PRECEDING TEXT WAS MOVED" on a line after
- the text. These messages are displayed in strikeout, and the text
- between them may be displayed in either redline or strikeout,
- depending on the version in which it exists.
- After running the Document Compare procedure as outlined in
- the key sequence, you can locate the Redline codes and strikeout
- text by using the Search feature (see Search). After examining the
- changes, you can remove all Redline and Strikeout codes, as
- indicated in the key sequence.

- were added to version 5.1. If you are using version 5.0, after you
- choose Document and then Summary, your choices will be Descriptive
- Filename; Subject/Account; Author; Typist; and Comments.
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- You can add a document summary to any document that you
- create in WordPerfect. The document summary can be added or edited
- from any place within the document.
- A document summary does not produce a code in your document,
- and with versions of WordPerfect prior to 5.1, there was no way to
- delete a document summary once it was created. With version 5.1,
- you can delete a document summary by pressing Delete and typing Y
- in response to the prompt when the cursor is on the status line in
- the Document Summary menu.
- The document summary can include the following statistics on
- the document (note that WordPerfect enters the first two
- automatically, and you enter the rest):
-
- ■ The date the document was created (WordPerfect uses the
- current date as supplied by DOS). You can change this
- date by using the Creation Date option. In addition, the
- summary displays the date of the latest revision.
- ■ The long document name (see Short/Long Document Names),
- which can contain up to 68 characters, and a document
- type, which can be up to 20 characters (see below). If
- you have already assigned this document a long document
- name using List Files (see List Files), it will be
- displayed here, where you can edit it with the Document
- Name option.
- ■ The author and/or typist, which can include up to 60
- characters.
- ■ The subject, which you can type in (up to 160
- characters) or retrieve from a RE: heading in your
- document (see below).
- ■ The account, which can be a number or any other
- information that will help you categorize the document.
- ■ Any keywords that you want to use to identify the
- document. In List Files, you can use those keywords to
- help you locate the file or group of related files with
- the same keyword (see List Files).
- ■ An abstract, which can be up to 780 characters. You can
- type in a summary of the document here, or press
- Retrieve (Shift-F10) to retrieve its first 400
- characters.
-
- Three items can be automatically retrieved from other
- locations in your document. When the cursor is on the status line
- in the Document Summary screen, you can press Shift-F10 (Retrieve)
- to retrieve (1) the most recent author and typist entries you have
- saved on any other document's document summary during your current
- session with WordPerfect, (2) the first 39 characters following
- the first RE: in your document (you can change this search string;
- see below), and (3) the document's first 400 characters, which
- will appear as the Abstract entry. All three of these items will
- be located and retrieved if they exist; you can't choose a
- combination of them.
-
- B)Usage--Setting Default Document Summary Options(B
-
- The Document Management/Summary options on the Setup menu allow
- you to set defaults to use with your document summaries. You can
- have WordPerfect automatically prompt you to create a summary the
- first time you save each document by setting the Create Summary on
- Save/Exit option to Yes.
- The characters RE: are the default Subject Search Text, but
- you can change them to another subject heading, such as SUBJECT:,
- by using the Subject Search Text option.
- You can also specify with the Long Document Names option
- whether you want to use a long document name (up to 30 characters,
- including spaces) when you save each document. If you set this
- option to Yes, WordPerfect will prompt you to enter the long
- document name, the document type (see below), and the DOS file
- name for the document each time you save it.
- The Default Document Type option allows you to enter text
- that will be suggested as the Document Type when you save the
- document, assuming you are using long document names. In addition,
- WordPerfect will suggest the first three characters of this
- document type as an extension when you save the document, so you
- can use this option to group related documents together, such as
- memos, letters, or chapters of different books.
-
- B)Usage--Saving, Appending, and Printing Summaries(B
-
- You can save a document summary as a separate file, or append
- it to an existing file. When the Document Summary menu is on the
- screen and the cursor is on the status line, press Save (F10) and
- enter a new or existing file name. If the file has already been
- created, you will be asked whether to replace its contents with
- the text of the document summary or append it to the end of the
- file.
- To print a document summary, press Shift-F7 (Print) while the
- summary is displayed on your screen. In addition, if you are
- printing selected pages of a document (see Printing Current
- Document), you can type s to print the document summary.
- If you are using the Look option in the List Files screen
- (F5), you can also save and print document summaries from there
- (see List Files).
-
- B)Usage--Locating a File Using Its Document Summary(B
-
- When you use the Look option on the List Files menu (F5 ─┘)
- to view the contents of a document that contains a document
- summary, the summary statistics are always the first text
- displayed on the screen. You can also use the Find option (called
- Word Search in version 5.0) on the List Files menu to locate a
- file according to particular statistics in the document summary.
- If you want to restrict the search to one specific word or
- word pattern that is in your document summaries, use the Document
- Summary option (see Find for the types of patterns you can enter).
- Use the First Pg option to search just the first pages (or the
- first 4000 characters, whichever occurs first) of each document.
- To search the entire document, select Entire Doc. Select
- Conditions to limit the search to a specific item within your
- document summaries, such as the author of the document or its date
- of creation. (See Find.)

- To save an equation as a separate file (while you are in the
- equation editor):
-
- Shift-F10 (Save) [enter file name for equation] ─┘
-
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- To create an equation, first define a graphics box as an
- equation box and then use the WordPerfect 5.1 equation editor to
- create your equation. As you enter the commands and keywords for
- your equation in the lower part of the window, the equation editor
- displays it graphically in the upper window so that you can see it
- as you compose it.
- To create an equation, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Press Alt-F9 (Graphics) and select Equation, or select
- Equation from the Graphics menu.
- 2. Select Create.
- 3. Select Edit to display the equation editor.
- 4. Create your equation in any combination of the following
- ways:
-
- ■ By typing in the equation editing window (the lower part
- of the screen). You can enter numbers, letters, and
- symbols from the keyboard. Certain keys have special
- meanings in the equation editor, and WordPerfect
- recognizes many keywords as commands (see the Equation
- Palette appendix in your user guide for a complete list
- of these). You can also compose characters by using the
- Compose feature (see Compose).
- ■ By pressing F5 (List) or choosing List Commands to move
- to the equation palette (a series of menus similar to
- those found in the macro editor) and choosing symbols,
- commands, and variables from the items it presents.
- Select items with the mouse or the highlight cursor, and
- then press ─┘. After each selection, you are moved back
- to the equation editing window.
-
- 5. Press Ctrl-F3 (Screen) or choose Screen Redisplay to
- view your equation in the display window (the upper part
- of the screen). To return to the equation editing
- window, press Shift-F3 or choose Screen Redisplay again.
- 6. Press F7 (Exit) to return to the equation definition
- screen.
-
- In the equation editing window, you can delete characters by
- using the Backspace and Delete keys. To delete from the cursor to
- the end of the equation, press Ctrl-PgDn and respond Yes to the
- "Delete Remainder of Page?" prompt.
- The equation you see in the equation display window is
- normally larger than it will appear when printed (the percentage
- of magnification appears in the lower right corner). You can move
- and resize the equation, in the display window only, by using the
- arrow, PgUp, and PgDn keys. By resizing, you can check small
- symbols that may be used as superscripts and subscripts, for
- example. Press Ctrl-Home (Go To) to reset any changes you make to
- the display. You can also move the equation around with the arrow
- keys, use PgUp/PgDn Scale to resize the equation, and use GoTo
- Reset to reset the equation display from the menu at the bottom of
- the screen, when you switch to the display window.
- When you are in the display window, a double line appears at
- its right, and you cannot use the cursor in the editing window.
- When you return to the editing window, the double line moves to
- its right.
-
- B)Usage--Saving an Equation as a Separate File(B
-
- You can save an equation separately from the document it
- appears in. You may want to do this, for example, if you plan to
- use an equation in several documents. To save an equation, press
- F10 (Save) while you are in the equation editor; then enter a name
- (a path name if you want to save it in a different directory) and
- press ─┘.
- To retrieve a saved equation, press Shift-F10 (Retrieve)
- while you are in the equation editor; then enter the name of the
- equation. You can also press F5 (List Files) and enter a directory
- name to display the files in a directory. Pressing F5 twice will
- display the contents of the current directory. In addition, you
- can enter an equation's name at the Filename heading on the
- Definition: Equation menu, and WordPerfect will retrieve the
- equation.
-
- B)Usage--Printing Equations(B
-
- Equations are printed in the base font you have selected
- unless you change the font within the equation box. You can also
- change the size (Small, Large, and so on) and appearance (bold,
- italic, and so on) of the font within the equation box. Variables
- (alphabetic characters) will automatically be printed in italics.
- Subscripts and superscripts will automatically be printed as
- subscripts and superscripts.
- The program creates all equation symbols graphically. If you
- don't have a printer that will print graphics, set the Print as
- Graphics option on the Setup: Initial Settings menu to No. In this
- case, WordPerfect will attempt to substitute a character in a
- different font for the symbol it needs to create; it will print a
- blank space if it cannot make a substitution.
- To position the equation on the page, you position the
- graphics box that contains it (see Graphics). Although you can
- create equations in any type of graphics box, if you use an
- equation box, WordPerfect will automatically center it between the
- left and right margins, as is standard mathematical practice.

- command. It is only secondarily used to cancel the current
- WordPerfect command (see Canceling a Command). When you press the
- Esc key, WordPerfect displays the prompt
-
- Repeat Value = 8
-
- If the next key you press is not a number, WordPerfect will enter
- that character eight times. If you press a cursor-movement key,
- WordPerfect will repeat the cursor movement eight times.
- If you press the Delete key after pressing Esc, WordPerfect
- will delete the next eight characters from the cursor's position
- to the right. If you press the spacebar after the Esc key, it will
- insert eight spaces.
- You can vary the number of repetitions by entering a new
- repeat number before pressing the key. WordPerfect uses the new
- repeat value only that time and then returns to the default
- number.

-
- Choose Yes. After the document is saved, WordPerfect will prompt
- you either to exit from the current document editing screen (if
- you are using both Doc 1 and Doc 2) or to from exit WordPerfect.
- The default response is No, so that you can press ─┘ to remain in
- the current editing screen. If you decide not to clear your
- document from the editing screen, press Cancel (F1) to retain it
- and return to editing its text.
- If you answer Yes to exiting from WordPerfect, you will be
- returned to DOS or to the WordPerfect Library shell, if you use
- that utility. If you answer Yes to exiting from the current
- document editing screen (either Doc 1 or Doc 2), you will be
- returned to the other editing screen. If you answer No to exiting
- from WordPerfect or the current document editing screen, you will
- remain in it, and you can begin creating a new document (using the
- WordPerfect formatting defaults) or retrieve another document for
- editing.
- If you are using long document names (see Short/Long Document
- Names), you will be prompted for a long document name as well as a
- document type when you exit. You can enter up to 68 characters,
- including spaces, for the name and up to 20 characters for the
- type, or, if the document has been previously saved, you can save
- it under the same name by pressing ─┘ and choosing Y when you are
- prompted to confirm the replacement. WordPerfect will then show
- you the DOS file name: either its eight-character abbreviation of
- your long name (with an extension consisting of the first three
- letters of the document type) or a file name you used when saving
- the document previously.
-
- B)Usage--Quitting WordPerfect without Using Exit(B
-
- In WordPerfect, it is important that you exit from the
- program properly before you turn off the computer. WordPerfect
- automatically keeps special files, called "overflow files," that
- are not emptied and closed until you press F7 (Exit).
- If you simply use Save (F10), and then turn off the power,
- WordPerfect will detect the presence of these files the next time
- you start the program, and it will beep and display this prompt on
- the initial startup screen:
-
- Are other copies of WordPerfect currently running? Yes
- (No)
-
- Responding No tells WordPerfect to erase the contents of the
- overflow files and move to the standard editing screen.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- Fast Save saves a copy of the document on the editing screen
- without formatting it when you use Exit (F7) and save before
- quitting or Save (F10). In 5.0, a document that has been fast
- saved, however, can't be printed from disk unless the cursor was
- located at the very end of the document when you saved it. In 5.1,
- there is not such limitation.
- If you aren't concerned with the time it takes to save your
- document and want to be able to use any of WordPerfect's printing
- methods at any time, you can leave the Fast Save option turned
- off.
- If you use Fast Save in version 5.0 and find that you can't
- print a document on disk because of it, retrieve the document,
- press Home Home Down Arrow, and save it again. Then issue the
- command to print it from disk.

-
- F5 (List Files) ─┘ or File pull-down
- then List Files ─┘
- Find
- Conditions
- Perform Search; Reset Conditions; Revision Date;
- Text; Document Summary (Creation Date; Document Name;

- Keywords; Abstract)
- F7 (Exit)
-
- Note: In WordPerfect 5.0, Find is called Word Search, and the
- First Pg, Entire Doc, and Undo options appear on the Conditions
- submenu.
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- The Find option of the List Files menu (called Word Search in
- WordPerfect 5.0) allows you to search through all the files in one
- directory or through the files you have explicitly marked with an
- asterisk (*) to find a specific word or phrase (up to 39
- characters in 5.1 or 20 characters in 5.0).
- Version 5.1: After WordPerfect locates the files that contain
- what you are searching for, it displays them separately. You can
- use the cursor keys to move among them, pressing ─┘ to view their
- contents and determine which of them are the documents you are
- seeking. While you are looking at the contents of a file, you can
- use the Search feature (F2) to locate a particular word or phrase.
- You can also retrieve a marked file to the editing screen.
- Version 5.0: After WordPerfect locates the files that contain
- what you are searching for, it marks them with an asterisk on the
- List Files screen. You can use the Look option to view their
- contents and determine which of them are the documents you are
- seeking. You can also retrieve a marked file to the editing
- screen.
- Both Versions: To return to the List Files screen with the
- marked files still displayed, press Exit (F7). To return to List
- Files with the marked files displayed after retrieving a file,
- press List Files (F5) twice.
-
- B)Setting Search Options (Version 5.1)(B
-
- Select Name from the Find menu to search for a file by name.
- You can enter part of a name pattern, and WordPerfect will display
- all the names of the files it finds that match that pattern (see
- "Entering Patterns for Word Searches" below).
- The next three options on the Find menu allow you to specify
- which part of the document you want to search. Select Doc Summary
- to search only in the document summaries of the files you have
- marked or of all the files in the directory, if you haven't marked
- any particular ones.
- Select First Pg to search through only the first page or the
- first 4000 characters of each file.
- Select Entire Doc to search through all the files you have
- marked or all the files in the directory.
- Select Conditions to enter specialized search conditions, as
- discussed below.
- To repeat a search on the same group of files, select Undo.
- Normally, if you were searching through ten files and WordPerfect
- located what you were searching for in two files, the next search
- you carried out would be on the two files that it located.
- Selecting this option brings you back to your original List Files
- screen--containing, in this example, ten files.
-
- B)Setting Search Options (Version 5.0)(B
-
- After you select Word Search, you will see the following
- menu:
-
- 1 Document Summary; 2 First Page; 3 Entire Document; 4
- Conditions:0
-
- Select Document Summary for a word, phrase, or pattern only
- in the document summaries of the files you have marked or of all
- the files in the directory, if you haven't marked any particular
- ones.
- Select First Page to search through only the first page or
- the first 4000 characters of each file.
- Select Entire Document to search through all the files you
- have marked or all the files in the directory.
- Select Conditions to enter specialized search conditions.
-
- B)Setting Search Conditions (Version 5.1)(B
-
- If you select Conditions, you can then choose the conditions
- that the files must meet.
- The Perform Search On option lists the number of files that
- will be searched. After the search has finished, this number
- changes to the number of files that the search located. To start a
- search after selecting other search conditions, select this
- option.
- Use the Reset Search Conditions option to clear the search
- conditions and enter new ones for the next search.
- Revision Date allows you to specify that files created on or
- between certain dates be included in the search. You can enter the
- date with or without leading zeroes--as 01/02/91 or as 1/2/91, for
- example.
- Text allows you to combine three types of searches--document
- summaries, first page, and complete document--into one. You can
- enter a different search pattern for each and then search for all
- three patterns at once. When you have entered your patterns,
- select Perform Search to begin the search.
- Document Summary allows you to search for specific items
- within your document summaries (see Document Summary for details
- about each of these items).
-
- Version 5.0: The First Pg, Entire Doc, and Undo options,
- discussed under "Setting Search Options (Version 5.1)," appear on
- the Conditions submenu instead.
-
- B)Entering Patterns for Word Searches (Both Versions)(B
-
- When you search a directory for a file containing a specific
- word or phrase that contains spaces, you must enter the word or
- phrase to be searched for in quotation marks.
- You can search for an exact phrase by adding a blank space
- after the last letter and before the last quotation mark. You can
- also enter an exact phrase to be searched for by pressing Ctrl-
- ─┘ before typing the phrase.
- You can also use the wildcards ?, *, and - to specify the
- search pattern. The question mark represents a single character,
- and the asterisk and hyphen represent zero or more characters. For
- example, if you are searching for a file containing an address for
- a company and you are sure that its name began with "South" but do
- not remember whether its full name is Southwestern, Southeastern,
- or Southern, you can enter the word pattern as South*.
- To search for a phrase beginning with one pattern and ending
- with another, enter it as South*Industries. This will locate all
- phrases starting with "South" and ending with "Industries," such
- as Southern Industries, Southwestern Industries, south of the
- industries, and so forth. Uppercase and lowercase are considered
- to be the same.
-
- B)Using Logical Operators in Searches (Both Versions)(B
-
- You can further expand or restrict a word search by using
- semicolons and blank spaces (which stand for "and") or commas
- (which stand for "or"). For example, to search for files that
- contain both the word invoice and the phrase past due, you enter
- invoice;"past due". To search for files that contain either the
- word invoice or the phrase past due, enter invoice,"past due".
- To search for files that contain either the word invoice or
- the phrase past due in combination with the word October, enter
- invoice,"past due";October.

-
- To return to the initial font defined for the selected
- printer:
-
- Ctrl-F8 (Font) or Font pull-down
- Normal
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Font (Ctrl-F8 or the Font pull-down menu) controls a variety
- of options, all of which affect the way your text appears when
- printed. This section shows how to enhance the currently selected
- font by changing either its size or its appearance. For changing
- the current font, see Base Font. For using Font to select colors
- for printing, see Print Color. The options Bold, Undrln, Redln,
- and Stkout on the Appearance menu are discussed under their own
- reference entries in this book.
- All of the options on the Size and Appearance menus insert a
- pair of formatting codes and place the cursor between them. You
- can then enter the text that you want enhanced by the attribute
- selected. To return to the normal text font, either press the
- Right Arrow key once to move the cursor beyond the last code of
- the pair, or select the Normal option on the Font menu (this does
- the same thing as pressing Right Arrow). To apply one of these
- attributes to existing text, mark it as a block using Alt-F4
- (Block) before selecting the appropriate Size or Appearance menu
- option.
- To delete any size or appearance attributes assigned to text,
- locate the pair of codes in the Reveal Codes screen and delete
- either one of them.
-
- B)Usage--Changing the Font Size(B
-
- The Font menu presents you with seven options. The first two
- are used for superscripting and subscripting characters.
- Superscripted text is printed a half-line above the baseline of
- the normal text, and subscripted text is printed a half-line
- below. To change the amount of adjustment up or down, use the
- Advance feature (see Advance) with either option.
- The five remaining size options are used to change only the
- relative size of the current font. The actual point size or pitch
- used to produce the text that is assigned the attributes Fine,
- Small, Large, Very Large, and Extra Large depends upon the
- capabilities of the currently selected printer and the range of
- fonts installed for that printer.
- When you change the size of the text using one of these
- options, WordPerfect automatically adjusts the line spacing to
- accommodate the larger or smaller size. To overrule this
- adjustment, use the Line Height option on the Line Format menu
- (see Line Height).
-
- B)Changing the Appearance of the Font(B
-
- When you select the Appearance option on the Font menu, you
- are presented with nine options to enhance your text. The first
- two attributes, Bold and Undrln, can also be accessed by pressing
- F6 or F8 respectively (see Bold and Underline). The remaining
- attributes can only be accessed from this menu.
- The attributes of double underlining (Dbl Und), italics
- (Italc), outline, shadow, and small caps can't be produced by
- every printer. To determine whether your printer can produce these
- effects, print the PRINTER.TST file that is supplied with the
- program. If you select an enhancement that your printer doesn't
- support, WordPerfect will ignore it (unless you have specified
- italics, in which case the program will substitute underlining).
-
- Note: The Small Caps option (Sm Cap) produces all uppercase
- letters in a smaller font size, a style most commonly used with
- acronyms and with times (such as 9:00 A.M.) When entering text
- after selecting the Sm Cap option, you don't need to use the Shift
- key to capitalize the text.

-
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Notes to the text are automatically numbered for you in
- WordPerfect. If you want the text of the note to appear on the
- same page as its reference number, you create a footnote. If you
- want all of the notes to appear together somewhere in the
- document, you create an endnote.
- The text of footnotes and endnotes is not shown in the text,
- only their reference numbers. To see the notes before printing,
- you must use the View Document option on the Print menu (see View
- Document).
-
- B)Usage--Creating Notes(B
-
- To create a footnote or endnote in the text, follow these
- steps:
-
- 1. Move the cursor to the position where you want the
- footnote or endnote reference number to appear.
- 2. Press Footnote (Ctrl-F7) or use the Layout pull-down
- menu.
- 3. Select either the Footnote or Endnote option.
- 4. Select the Create option.
- 5. Type the text of your note (insert a space between the
- number on the note editing screen and the text).
- 6. Press Exit (F7) when you are finished entering the note
- text.
-
- To delete a footnote or endnote from the document, locate and
- delete the [Footnote] or [Endnote] code in the Reveal Codes
- screen.
-
- B)Usage--Assigning a New Number(B
-
- WordPerfect automatically begins footnote and endnote
- numbering from 1. To change the starting number for all notes or
- to renumber a series of notes from a particular place in the
- document, use the New Number option on the Footnote or Endnote
- menu. This feature is especially useful if the document that
- contains the notes is a subdocument (like a book chapter) of a
- master document that requires sequential numbering of the notes in
- all the documents to be printed together (see Master Document).
- To enter a new starting note number, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Move the cursor to the place in the document where the
- notes are to be renumbered (the top of the document if
- all notes are to be renumbered).
- 2. Press Footnote (Ctrl-F7) or use the Layout pull-down
- menu.
- 3. Select either the Footnote or Endnote option.
- 4. Select the New Number option.
- 5. Enter the new starting number and press ─┘.
- 6. Press Screen (Ctrl-F3) and ─┘ to renumber notes.
-
- WordPerfect inserts a [New Ftn Num] or [New End Num] code in
- the document at the cursor's position when you use this option.
-
- B)Usage--Specifying Endnote Placement(B
-
- You can designate where the text of endnotes is to appear by
- using the Endnote Placement option. If you don't locate the cursor
- and use Endnote Placement to specify where the endnotes are to be
- inserted, WordPerfect will automatically place them at the end of
- your document.
- When you use the Endnote Placement option, WordPerfect
- inserts an [Endnote Placement] code at the cursor's position and
- prompts you with
-
- Restart endnote numbering? Yes (No)
-
- If you choose to restart the endnote numbering from 1, press ─┘
- to answer Yes to this prompt (WordPerfect inserts the code [New
- End Num:1] in the document). If you want to retain sequential
- numbering from the last endnote number, type N for No. After you
- respond to this prompt, WordPerfect inserts the following comments
- in the text:
-
- Endnote Placement.
- It is not known how much space endnotes will occupy
- here.
- Generate to determine.
-
- It also automatically inserts a hard page break after this
- comment (see Page Break, Soft and Hard).
- To generate the endnotes at this point, select Mark Text
- (Alt-F5), Generate; select Generate Tables, Indexes, Automatic
- References, etc.; press ─┘; and respond Yes to the prompt:
-
- Existing tables, lists, and indexes will be replaced.
- Continue? Yes (No)
-
- After the endnotes are generated, you will see the comment
- "Endnote Placement" on the screen. This comment will take up as
- much space as is required to print all of the endnotes up to that
- point in the document. To view your endnotes, use the View
- Document option on the Print menu (Shift-F7).
- If you want the text of your endnotes to appear on a new
- page, be sure to insert a hard page break (Ctrl-─┘) before the
- Endnote Placement comment box.
-
- B)Usage--Changing the Formatting of Notes(B
-
- When printing your footnotes and endnotes, WordPerfect makes
- certain assumptions as to how they are to be formatted. You can,
- however, control their formatting by using Options on the Footnote
- or Endnote menu. Press F to see an illustration of the Footnote
- Options menu.
- To change the style of the numbers in the text or note for
- footnotes or endnotes, select the appropriate options and enter
- the commands to insert the attributes that you wish to use. Note
- that you can insert graphics into a note if you select the
- Character type for the graphics box (see Graphics).
- When specifying the spacing within footnotes or endnotes,
- enter 1 for single spacing, 1.5 for one-and-a-half spacing, 2 for
- double spacing, and so on. You can specify the spacing between
- notes and the amount of note to keep together on a page by
- entering a measurement in inches.
- When you select the option to change the numbering method for
- footnotes or endnotes, you are presented with these options:
-
- 1 Numbers; 2 Letters; 3 Characters: 0
-
- When you select Characters, you can specify up to five different
- characters to be used. After all of the characters you entered are
- used, WordPerfect will double and then triple them, if necessary.
- For footnotes, you may designate that your footnotes be
- renumbered on each new page or change the type of line separator
- used to demarcate the footnote from the body of the text. When you
- select Line Separating Text and Footnotes, you are presented with
- these options:
-
- 1 No Line; 2 2-inch Line; 3 Margin to Margin
-
- The footnote option Print Continued Messages can be used to
- have WordPerfect print a "Continued..." message on the last line
- of any footnote that is split across pages (this message will also
- be printed on the first line of the note on the following page).
- You can use the Footnotes at Bottom of Page option (No) to have
- the footnotes moved up on a short page so that they are printed
- right under the body of the text, rather than at the very bottom
- of the page with multiple blank lines separating the footnotes
- from the text.

-
- You can use the Force Odd/Even Page feature to ensure that a
- particular page will always be given either an odd or even page
- number. To use this command, position the cursor at the top of the
- page that is always to have either an odd or even page number and
- follow the key sequence. When you do, the program inserts either a
- [Force:Odd] or [Force:Even] formatting code at the cursor's
- position.
- WordPerfect will renumber the page only if Force Odd/Even
- Page changes it from odd to even or vice versa. Any change to the
- page number is reflected in the Pg indicator on the status line.
- Note that the Force Odd/Even Page feature has no effect if
- you have not specified that some type of page numbering be used in
- the document (either by issuing the Page Numbering command or by
- inserting a Page code in a header or footer).
- To return to regular page numbering, locate and delete the
- [Force] codes in the Reveal Codes screen.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- In version 5.0, you use the Forms option on the Select
- Printer Forms menu to create a form definition, which stipulates
- such settings as the paper size and type, orientation, offsets,
- and location of the paper. You can then apply this form definition
- to a document by specifying the size and type of paper it uses on
- the Page Format menu.
- WordPerfect comes with three predefined forms: Standard
- letter size in either portrait (narrow) or landscape (wide) mode,
- Envelope, and ALL OTHERS (invoked when you try to use a form
- definition that WordPerfect can't find). You can modify the
- settings of these forms or add new definitions to the list. To
- remove a form definition, select the Delete option on the Printer
- Select: Forms menu.
-
- B)Usage--Creating a Form Definition (5.0)(B
-
- As indicated by the key sequence, the form definitions that
- you create are part of the printer definition. When you select the
- Add option on the Printer Select: Forms menu, you are presented
- with two full-screen menus: the Form Type menu and the Forms menu.
- When you select the Edit option, you are presented only with the
- second Forms menu, where you modify to the selected definition.
- When adding a new form definition, you must first specify the
- type of form to be used. The Form Type menu contains the name of
- seven frequently used forms. To select one of these, simply enter
- its mnemonic letter or number. If you want to add your own form
- description, select Other and enter its name.
- After indicating the type of form to be used, you are
- presented with the Forms menu. Here, you indicate the paper size,
- orientation of the text on the form, whether it is initially
- present, its location (that is, type of feed or bin number), and
- any special page offsets to be used.
- If you need to modify the size of the form, select the Form
- Size option. If none of the predefined size options will do,
- select the Other option and enter the width and length.
- To modify the placement of the text on the page, select the
- Orientation option. You have three choices: Portrait, Landscape,
- or Both. If you select Portrait, the text will run parallel to the
- insertion edge of the form. If you select Landscape, it will run
- perpendicular to the insertion edge. Select Both only when your
- printer allows you to manually determine the orientation.
- The setting of the third option, Initially Present, should be
- Yes unless the form must be manually fed to the printer.
- The Location option determines the type of paper feed; it has
- three options: Continuous, Bin Number, and Manual.
- Use the Page Offsets option when the printhead must be
- positioned in relation to the top and left edge of the form in the
- printer. You can enter either positive or negative offsets for the
- Top and Side settings.
-
- B)Usage--Using a Form Definition (5.0)(B
-
- To use a form definition to print your document, select the
- appropriate paper size and type from the Page Format: Paper Size

- If WordPerfect can't match the paper size and type requested
- against one of the form definitions, you will see the message
- "requested form is unavailable." The program will print the
- document using the paper size specified; however, it will not use
- any of the formatting instructions attached to the form
- definition.

- A)Go To DOS/Shell(A
-
- Allows you to exit from WordPerfect temporarily to go to DOS
- or to the WordPerfect Library Shell, if you run WordPerfect under
- this utility.
-
- B)Key Sequence(B
-
- Ctrl-F1 (Shell) or File pull-down then Goto DOS
- Go to DOS; DOS Command
- <DOS command>
- EXIT ─┘ (to return to WordPerfect)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The Go To DOS or Shell feature allows you to leave
- WordPerfect temporarily and enter DOS commands while the word
- processor is still loaded in memory. However, when you go to DOS
- and try to run another program, you may find that your computer
- doesn't have sufficient memory to load the new program along with
- WordPerfect. Also, you should not use this feature to load a RAM-
- resident utility (sometimes called a TSR), such as SideKick.
- Always exit WordPerfect before loading this type of software.
- When you have finished executing your commands at the DOS
- prompt and are ready to return to WordPerfect, type the word EXIT
- (don't press the Exit key--F7) and press ─┘. This will return you
- immediately to the editing screen and any document you have on it.
- If you started WordPerfect from the WordPerfect Library
- shell, you will be returned to the Library Shell menu when you use
- the Go To DOS feature. From there, you can go to the DOS prompt by
- selecting the Go to DOS command on the Shell menu (it too uses the
- key sequence Ctrl-F1 1). When you are finished with DOS, type EXIT
- to return to the Library Shell menu. To return to WordPerfect,
- type the program letter you have assigned to WordPerfect 5.0.
- In Version 5.1, you can also execute one DOS command by
- choosing DOS Command without leaving WordPerfect. This allows you
- to write macros that run DOS commands, because WordPerfect is
- never exited (see Macros).

- B)Key Sequence--Creating or Editing a Graphics Box(B
-
- Alt-F9 (Graphics) or Graphics pull-down
- Figure; Table Box; Text Box; User Box; Line;
- Equation
- Create; Edit; New Number; Options
-
- Note: In version 5.0, there is no Equation option on the
- Graphics menu.
-
- B)Key Sequence--Creating a Line Graphic(B
-
- To create a Horizontal or Vertical Line graphic:
-
- Alt-F9 (Graphics) or Graphics pull-down
- Line
- Create Line: Horizontal; Vertical or Edit Line:
- Horizontal; Vertical
-
- Note: In version 5.0, the line options are Horizontal
- Position; Vertical Position; Length of Line; Width of Line; Gray
- Shading (% of black). The Vertical Position option appears only
- when you are creating a vertical line.
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- You can use Graphics (Alt-F9, or choose Graphics from the
- pull-down menu) to import a variety of illustrations or graphics
- created with other graphics programs, as well as digitized images
- created with scanners, and place them directly in your document.
- In version 5.1, you can use the Graphics feature to import
- spreadsheets into graphics boxes and to draw vertical and
- horizontal lines (rules).
- To insert a graphic image into a document, you must first
- create a box to contain it. WordPerfect supports four different
- box types: Figure boxes for any type of graphic image, Table boxes
- for tables of numbers, Text boxes for any text that is set off
- from the body of the document (such as sidebars), and User-Defined
- boxes for any other type of image. Version 5.1 also provides a
- special Equation box type for equations (see Equations).
- You can use graphics boxes in the body of your document and
- in its headers, footers, footnotes, and endnotes. If you want to
- insert a graphics box in a style that you are creating (see
- Styles), the box must either be empty or contain only text.
-
- B)Usage--Defining a Graphics Box(B
-
- After selecting the appropriate type of box for your graphic,
- select the Create option. The menu options shown on the Definition
- screen are similar for all types of graphics boxes.
- To retrieve a file that contains text, or an image or graph
- created with another program, select the Filename option and type
- in the name of the file, including its extension. Be sure to
- include the complete path name if the graphics file isn't located
- in the current directory. Note that you don't have to specify the
- file at the time you create the graphics box to contain it. You
- can do this later by choosing the Edit option from the box menu,
- designating the number, and then choosing the Filename option from
- the Definition screen.
- You can press F5 and ─┘ to view the contents of the current
- directory, or press F5 and enter another directory name to see the
- contents of that directory. This puts you in the List Files
- screen, where you can retrieve the file you want (see List Files).
- The Contents option, which is new in version 5.1, displays
- another menu from which you can choose the type of information
- that you want to put in the graphics box--a graphic image, graphic
- on disk, text, or equation. Choose the Graphic on Disk option if
- you want your graphic to be stored in a separate disk file instead
- of being kept with the document. If you are using the graphic
- image in a style (see Styles), be sure to use this option.
- Likewise, if you are using one image repeatedly in a document,
- storing it separately keeps the size of your document down.
- Selecting Equation and then choosing Edit will automatically
- display the equation editor (see Equations).
- If you want to add a caption to your figure or table, select
- the Caption option. This brings you to an editing screen much like
- the ones used to enter headers and footers. The screen contains
- the name of the box followed by its number. You may delete this
- text. If you retain the number, it will automatically be updated
- if you later define or delete graphics boxes (of the same type)
- that precede it in the document.
- Three types of graphics boxes are associated with the Anchor
- Type option: Paragraph, which keeps the graphics box adjacent to
- the paragraph text; Page, which is affixed to a stationary
- position on the page; and Character, which is treated like a
- single character. WordPerfect will always wrap the text of a line
- that contains a Character box so it is below the boundary of the
- box, on the next line. Note that Character boxes are the only type
- that you can add to footnotes and endnotes.
- If you select the Page type, you will be asked for the number
- of pages to skip. If you want the graphics box to remain at a
- certain position on the page, be sure to locate the cursor at the
- beginning of the page before you select this option. Then enter 0
- if you want the box to appear on the current page, 1 if you want
- it to appear on the next page, and so forth.
-
- B)Usage--Vertical and Horizontal Position(B
-
- The Vertical and Horizontal Position options allow you to
- control the placement of the graphics box on the page. The
- settings available for them differ according to the type of
- graphics box chosen.
- For the Paragraph type, the vertical position setting
- represents the vertical distance from the first line of the
- paragraph. The default is 0", which places the graphic even with
- the paragraph's first line. For the Page type, you can align the
- box vertically with the top or bottom margin, center it on the
- page, or enter an offset measured from the top edge of the page.
- If you select Full Page, the graphics box expands to the margin
- settings for that page. For the Character type, you can have the
- graphics box positioned so that the text of the line it's on is
- aligned with the top, center, or bottom of the box.
- You can position a Paragraph box horizontally so that it
- aligns with the left or right edge, or is centered between the
- edges of the area that contains its associated paragraph text. As
- long as the Wrap Text Around Box option is set to Yes (see below),
- the text of the paragraph will wrap around the graphics box. In
- addition, you can have the box fill this entire area from left to
- right by choosing the Both Left & Right option.
- For a Page box, you have three options for setting the
- horizontal position of the graphics box: Margins, which allows you
- to left-align, right-align, center, or expand the box to left and
- right margins; Columns, which allows you to select a text column
- or range of columns (see Columns, Text [Newspaper and Parallel]),
- using the same alignment options as with Margins; and Set
- Position, which allows you to position the box a specific
- measurement in from the left edge of the page. When using the
- Column option, you can designate a range of text columns by
- entering their column numbers separated by a hyphen (as in 2-3).
- When using the character type of graphics box, you don't need
- to assign a horizontal position because WordPerfect automatically
- places the box to the left of the character that contains the
- cursor at the time you define it.
- When you change the vertical position, you can choose Top,
- Center, or Bottom, or align the baselines. Choose Bottom if you
- want to align the baseline of a graphic image with the line of
- text that contains its graphics box. Choose Baseline if the box
- contains an equation and you want to align the equation's baseline
- with the line of text that contains the box.
- Use the Size option to modify the size of the graphics box.
- When you select this option, you have four choices:
-
- 1 Set Width/Auto Height; 2 Set Height/Auto Width; 3 Set
- Both; 4 Auto Both
-
- Note: In version 5.0, the Both Width and Height option is
- equivalent to Set Both, and there is no Auto Both option.
-
- To set both height and width dimensions for the graphics box,
- select Set Both and then enter the two dimensions. WordPerfect
- will automatically calculate the opposite dimension if you change
- the width of the box with the Set Width option or the height with
- the Height option. Select Auto Both to restore the box's original
- dimensions.
- WordPerfect will flow the text around the borders of the
- graphics box if you set the Wrap Text Around Box option to Yes. On
- the editing screen, it draws the outline of the graphics box
- (without displaying the illustration or graph) as you enter the
- text of the document. If you change this setting to No, the text
- will go through the graphic and the box outline will not appear on
- the editing screen. You can preview the positioning of the text
- around the graphics box by using the View Document feature (see
- View Document).
-
- B)Usage--the Edit Option(B
-
- Use the Edit option to enter or edit the text for the
- graphics box or to modify the position or size of an illustration
- imported from the graphics file designated in the Filename option
- (described above).
- When the graphics box contains only text, you can enter or
- edit as you would any other text in WordPerfect after selecting
- the Edit option. You can change the font, size, alignment, or
- attributes of the text by using the appropriate WordPerfect
- commands.
- When the graphics box contains an illustration or graph
- created in another program, and you select the Edit option,
- WordPerfect displays it in graphics mode (if your computer has a
- graphics card) on the screen surrounded by an outline representing
- the size and shape of the graphics box that contains it. From
- here, you can modify its size, its position, or both. Note that
- you can't add text to an illustration or graph when editing it;
- this must be done in the program that produced the graphics file.
- To move the graphic image in the box, you can press any arrow
- key. To enlarge the image in the box, press PgUp (or select it
- from the menu); to shrink it, press PgDn. You can change its
- proportions by selecting the Scale option and entering a Y-scale
- (or vertical scale) percentage and an X-scale (horizontal)
- percentage. To rotate the image clockwise, press the Screen Up key
- (- on the numeric keypad). To rotate the image counterclockwise,
- press the Screen Down key (+ on the numeric keypad). You can also
- rotate the image by selecting the Rotate option and entering the
- percentage of rotation (where 100% is 360 degrees). When using
- this option, you can also designate that the image be flipped, by
- answering Yes to the "Mirror Image? No (Yes)" question that
- appears after a percentage is entered.
- The % Change option is activated by pressing the Ins (Insert)
- key. The percentage of change affects the amount that the image is
- moved, scaled, or rotated when applying the techniques discussed
- above. You can choose among 1%, 5%, 10%, or 25% change by pressing
- the Ins key until the percentage you want to use appears in the
- lower right corner of the screen.
- You can use the Invert option on the Edit screen to reverse
- the image if it is a bitmap graphic rather than a line drawing.
- When you use it, each white dot (or pixel) is changed to black and
- each black dot to white. Graphics imported from .WPG files (the
- clip art files included with WordPerfect) and .PIC files (which
- contain Lotus 1-2-3 graphs) are considered line drawings and,
- therefore, can't be inverted, whereas EPS (Encapsulated
- PostScript) and TIFF (Tagged Image File Format--created by
- scanners) files can be inverted.
- After you have made all the desired modifications to your
- graphic, press F7 (Exit) to return to the Definition screen. If
- you want to return the image to the original settings, press the
- Go To key combination, Ctrl-Home.
-
- B)Usage--Resetting Graphics Box Numbers(B
-
- WordPerfect numbers each type of graphics box consecutively.
- You can start a new numbering system at any point in your document
- by selecting a graphics box type and then choosing New Number. Be
- sure to position the cursor before the code of the graphics box
- type where you want to start renumbering.
- Because WordPerfect maintains this numbering system for each
- box type, it can automatically generate a list of your graphics
- boxes (see Lists).
-
- B)Usage--Adjusting the Settings for a Graphics Box(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to modify many of the default settings
- for the graphics boxes you insert in the document. These include
- the style of the border of the graphics, the inside space between
- the image and the borders of the box, the outside space between
- the text and the borders of the box, level numbering methods, the
- position of the caption, and the gray shading used in the box.
- To change any of these settings, move the cursor to the place
- in the document that contains your graphics box, press Alt-F9
- (Graphics) or choose Graphics from the pull-down menu. Select the
- option that corresponds to the type of box used there, and then
- select Options. When you change any of the options on this screen,
- they affect the style of any of the graphics boxes of the same
- type from the position of the cursor when you made the changes
- forward in the document. Press F to see an illustration of the
- Figure Options screen.
-
- B)Usage--Creating Horizontal and Vertical Lines(B
-
- WordPerfect's Graphics feature allows you to create hori-
- zontal and vertical lines (rules) of various thicknesses. Use
- these lines instead of those created with the Line Draw feature
- when you need to draw rules that use a proportionally spaced font,
- as lines created with Line Draw will not print correctly unless
- you are using a monospaced font (see Line Draw). To draw a rule in
- the document, position the cursor on the line where you want the
- rule to start and follow the key sequence.
- WordPerfect can draw either a vertical line that extends up
- and down part of or the entire length of the page, or a horizontal
- line that extends across part of or the entire width of the page.
- After selecting the type of line you want, you are presented with
- line options that allow you to specify the horizontal position
- (and vertical position, if you are creating a vertical line), the
- length of the line, its thickness, and the amount of gray shading
- to be applied to it (100% is black).
- When specifying the horizontal position of a horizontal line,
- you can have it aligned with the left or right margin or centered
- between them. You can also position the line by entering an offset
- measurement from the left edge of the page, or have it extend from
- the left to the right margin.
- When specifying the horizontal position for a vertical line,
- you can have it drawn slightly ahead of the left margin or after
- the right margin, or drawn between columns (indicated by number).
- You can also position the line by entering an offset measurement
- from the left edge of the page. You can specify the vertical
- position of the line as centered between the top and bottom
- margins (Full Page), aligned with either the top or bottom margin,
- or placed at a specific distance from the top of the page.
- Use the Length of Line option to determine how long the rule
- is to be. If you have specified a horizontal rule whose position
- is Left and Right, the line length is automatically calculated by
- the margin settings. For other horizontal lines, the default
- length (which you can override) is determined by the cursor's
- position when you created the line.
- The Width of Line option allows you to specify how thick the
- line is to be. To enter this measurement in points, even if the
- measurement is given in inches by default, follow the number with
- a p.
- The Gray Shading option allows you to draw rules in other
- gradations that are not totally black. To decrease the contrast of
- the line, enter a percentage (10% is the lowest shading you can
- specify).

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to create up to two different headers
- (running heads printed at the top of the page) and two different
- footers (running heads printed at the bottom of the page) in your
- document. You can have these headings printed on every page, or
- just on even or odd pages of the document. Before adding a header
- or footer to your document (as outlined in the key sequence),
- position the cursor at the top of the first page on which you want
- the header or footer to appear.
- You can create two headers or footers if you want their text
- to alternate on even- and odd-numbered pages of a bound document.
- When using two headers or footers on every page, you can place one
- flush left and the other flush right or place them on separate
- lines.
- After selecting the number and type of the header or footer
- you are creating, you are presented with a full editing screen on
- which to enter the text. You can use as many lines as you need.
- You can also add any text enhancements (such as boldface or a new
- font) or formatting (such as centering or flush right). To insert
- automatic page numbering into your headers and footers, press
- Ctrl-B (or Ctrl-N) at the position where you want the page number
- to appear.
- Headers begin printing on the first line below the top
- margin, and WordPerfect places 0.16" between the last line of the
- header and the body of the text. Footers begin printing on the
- first line above the bottom margin, and the program places 0.16"
- between the first line of the footer and the body of the text.
- To see how your headers and footers will appear when printed,
- use the View Document feature (see View Document). To discontinue
- a header or footer from a specific page to the end of the
- document, select the Discontinue option after selecting the
- appropriate header or footer on the Page menu. To suppress a
- header or footer on a specific page, use the Suppress (This Page
- Only) option (see Suppress Page Format). To edit the text of a
- header, select its header or footer number and use the Edit option
- on the Header or Footer menu. To delete a header or footer, locate
- and delete the [Header/Footer:] code associated with it.
- WordPerfect displays the first 50 characters of the header or
- footer in the Reveal Codes screen.
- In version 5.1, you can use columns in headers and footers.

- Version 5.1 has two hyphenation dictionaries, one internal and one
- external. The external dictionary is much larger than the
- internal. You can specify which of these dictionaries to use. If
- you select the external dictionary, you must have installed the
- Speller and Thesaurus.
- The default setting for WordPerfect's Hyphenation feature is
- off. To use Hyphenation, you must turn it on. In version 5.0, you
- must also choose between manual and automatic hyphenation, as
- outlined in the key sequence.
- WordPerfect uses three different types of hyphens:
-
- ■ Soft hyphens, which the program enters; these are not
- printed if the document is edited and the word no longer
- requires hyphenation.
- ■ Hard hyphens, which you enter by pressing the hyphen key
- (-). These will appear on the screen and in print
- whenever the word appears. A line can break after a hard
- hyphen.
- ■ Nonbreaking hyphens, which you specify by pressing Home
- and then the hyphen key. This prevents a hyphenated word
- from being split between two lines.
-
- You can insert soft hyphens by pressing Ctrl and the hyphen
- key or by using the program's Hyphenation feature.
- With manual hyphenation (Version 5.0), WordPerfect will beep
- each time a word extends beyond the right margin and starts at or
- before the left hyphenation zone. You will then see the prompt
- "Position hyphen; Press ESC." By pressing Esc, you can see the
- word as WordPerfect will hyphenate it to the right of this prompt.
- You can change the place where the word is hyphenated by using the
- arrow keys to position the hyphen where you want the word to
- break, and then pressing Esc. If you do not want the word to be
- hyphenated, press F1 (Cancel).
- When automatic hyphenation is on (Version 5.0), WordPerfect
- will hyphenate any word that starts at or before the hyphenation
- zone and extends beyond the right margin, without giving you a
- chance to change the place where it is hyphenated.
- The Hyphenation Zone option on the Line format menu is used
- to change the settings that determine how often WordPerfect will
- hyphenate a word. If a word begins before or at the left zone
- boundary and continues past the right boundary, WordPerfect will
- either prompt you for a place to insert the hyphen or will
- immediately hyphenate the word, depending on the type of
- hyphenation you are using.
- The zone boundaries are set as a percentage of the line
- length. This means that the default setting of 10% for the left
- boundary is 0.6" and that of 4% for the right boundary is 0.24",
- if the line length is currently 6". To have WordPerfect hyphenate
- more frequently, decrease the size of the hyphenation zone. To
- hyphenate less frequently, increase the size.

- Existing tables, lists, and indexes will be
- replaced. Continue? Yes (N) ─┘ (or press any key except
- N)
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- To create an index, you must first mark the items to be
- included in it, then define its style and generate it. To mark
- items for an index:
-
- 1. Locate the word or phrase you wish to include in the
- index. Position the cursor on it or on the space
- following it. If you are indexing a phrase, you must
- first mark it by pressing Alt-F4 (Block) and
- highlighting the phrase.
- 2. Press Alt-F5 (Mark Text) or use the Mark pull-down menu
- and then select the Index option. The prompt "Index
- Heading:" appears. This prompt is followed by the phrase
- you marked or the word the cursor is on. If you want the
- entry to appear in the index just as it does where it is
- highlighted, press ─┘. WordPerfect automatically
- capitalizes the first letter of an index heading, and it
- lowercases subheading entries unless the word was
- capitalized in the text. If you want the word or phrase
- to appear differently in the index, type it or edit it
- as you wish it to appear.
- 3. The program then prompts you for a subheading. If you
- accepted the default word or phrase as the heading,
- you can type a subheading or simply press ─┘ for no
- subheading. If you entered a different word or phrase
- for the heading, WordPerfect will present that word or
- phrase as the default subheading. You can press ─┘ to
- accept it, type over the word WordPerfect presents and
- substitute the one you wish to use, or delete the
- subheading if you do not want one.
- 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each word or phrase you want to
- include in your index.
-
- B)Usage--Creating a Concordance File(B
-
- A concordance file is simply a list of all the words and
- phrases that you wish WordPerfect to search for and mark as index
- entries. To use a concordance file, you specify its file name when
- you define the style of your index.
- To create a concordance file, you need to start a new
- document and enter the words or phrases you want to use in the
- index as headings or as subheadings. Press ─┘ after you enter
- each one. Then, if you are using subheadings, go back and mark
- each entry with the appropriate index marks by pressing Alt-F5
- (Mark Text) or using the Mark pull-down menu and selecting the
- Index option (you will need to mark phrases as blocks first);
- otherwise, all entries will be headings. You can then generate the
- index.
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Style of an Index(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to choose among several formatting
- styles for the indexes it generates. To define the style for an
- index, place the cursor where the index should appear and follow
- the steps outlined in the key sequence. After you select the
- Define and Index options, you will be prompted for a concordance
- file name. Type a name if you are using one; otherwise, press ─┘.
- Then select a numbering style from the menu that appears. A
- [Def Mark] code is inserted in the document when you press F7
- (Exit) after selecting a numbering style for the index. This marks
- the position where the index will be generated. If you want a
- columnar index, you must insert the column codes and turn the
- Columns feature on in the text (with Alt-F7) just before the
- [DefMark:Index] code.
-
- B)Usage--Generating Tables, Lists, and Indexes(B
-
- After marking the index entries and indicating the style of
- the index, you are ready to generate the index. Select first the
- Generate option and then the Generate Tables, Indexes, Automatic
- References, etc. option. WordPerfect will tell you that the
- existing tables, lists, and indexes will be replaced. To have
- WordPerfect generate the index, choose Y or press any key besides
- N. If you need to save a previously generated index for the
- document, choose N. The index is generated at the [Def Mark] code
- in the document, and the program automatically inserts an [End
- Def] mark at the end of the index.

- Expanded to (100%-unlimited) <expansion %> ─┘
- F7 (Exit)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- By default, full justification (called simply justification
- in WordPerfect 5.0) is on when you begin a new document. This
- means that the program will align the right margin of each line by
- adjusting the spacing between its words. The program can't display
- justification on the editing screen (the right margin always
- appears ragged right). To see justification and the spacing
- between words in each line, use View Document.
- You can turn off justification for the entire document
- (position the cursor at the beginning of the document) or just
- part of it (position the cursor in the document where you want the
- change to begin) by following the steps indicated in the step
- sequence. In version 5.1, you can also turn off justification for
- all documents by using the Setup menu.
- WordPerfect provides two methods for controlling the spacing
- between words when justification is used. You can turn on
- WordPerfect's Hyphenation feature and adjust the size of the
- hyphenation zone (see Hyphenation) to reduce the amount of space
- between words. This is especially useful when you have a short
- line length, as when using newspaper and parallel columns (see
- Columns, Text). You can also adjust the word spacing from the
- Printer Functions menu (as indicated in the sequence of steps).
- The Word Spacing Justification Limits option allows you to modify
- the minimum and maximum range within which WordPerfect can fit
- justified text. With a proportionally spaced font, the optimal
- spacing between words is built into the font (expressed by
- percentage as 100%). Use the Compressed To option to set the
- minimum word spacing percentage and the Expanded To option to set
- the maximum word spacing percentage allowed. When one of these
- limits is reached, WordPerfect begins to adjust the spacing
- between letters in the words themselves (see Word/Letter Spacing).

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect 5.1 provides a Labels feature to help you set up
- formats for mailing labels, envelopes, and documents that require
- special paper sizes and types. (This feature was called Forms in
- version 5.0.) The program also provides a macro named LABELS that
- automatically presents you with many standard mailing-label sizes
- from which you can choose directly, without having to set up a
- special paper size.
- When you enter measurements for labels by following the key
- sequence, you must be sure to enter accurate dimensions. Enter the
- width and height of an individual label for the Label Size option.
- For Number of Labels, enter the number of columns of labels
- (across) and the number of rows (down). Measure the top left
- corner on your sheet of labels; if they start at that point, enter
- 0" and 0" as the measurements. For the Distance between Labels
- entry, measure the distance between two labels, not the distance
- between the top and bottom labels on the page. If there is no
- space between labels, enter 0" and 0". The Label Margins option
- lets you enter the left, right, top, and bottom margins for
- individual labels, not for the entire sheet of labels.
- If you are using tractor-fed labels, enter the top left
- corner measurement as 0", 0". Treat each row of labels as a sheet,
- so the number of rows is 1 and the number of columns is the number
- of labels in a row. Enter the paper size as the width of the
- label. The height should include the distance between the labels.
- Once you have set up a paper size for your labels, press F7
- twice to return to the Paper Size/Type menu; then select that size
- by press ─┘ with the highlight cursor on the size you want to
- use. A [Paper Sz/Type:] code will be inserted in your document at
- that point, and you can begin typing text for the labels. The code
- must be at the top of the page for it to take effect on that page.
- When you type the text of your labels, press Ctrl-─┘ (Page
- Break) to separate each one.

- F7 (Exit)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- Leading is the amount of space added between lines of type to
- make it more readable. WordPerfect normally adds two points of
- space between lines of text that are set in a proportional font
- (such as Helvetica or Times Roman), and no leading to lines of
- text in a nonproportional font (such as Courier), since a fixed
- amount of leading is built into nonproportional fonts. You can
- change the amount of leading both between lines of text separated
- by a soft return and lines separated by a hard return, which begin
- a new paragraph.
- To change the leading you are using, follow the step sequence
- outlined above, choose Leading Adjustment and enter the amount of
- space you want to have between lines (Primary) and between
- paragraphs (Secondary). Since leading is usually measured in
- points, you may want to enter the value followed by a p (such as
- 4p) if your units of measurement are in inches, which is the
- default. Otherwise, WordPerfect will interpret the value you enter
- as a leading specification in inches.

- different types of alternate drawing characters. In addition, you
- can use any of the characters that your printer can print (see
- Compose). If you select Erase, the cursor will erase each
- character it passes through. Selecting Move allows you to move the
- cursor through your drawing without changing anything.
- To enter text in drawings you have created, you should be in
- Typeover mode. If you remain in Insert mode, which is
- WordPerfect's default setting, lines will be pushed to the right
- as you type, and pressing ─┘, Tab, or the spacebar will insert

-
- WordPerfect automatically adjusts the line height--that is,
- the measurement from the baseline of one line of text to the
- baseline of the following line of text--to accommodate the largest
- font used in the line. To override this automatic adjustment and
- enter a fixed line height for all of the lines in a part or all of
- the document, use the Line Height option on the Line format menu.
- After you select Fixed, enter the distance between baselines,
- measured in points, inches, or centimeters. If you enter the
- number of points, and inches is the default unit of measurement,
- be sure to end the number with p--WordPerfect will automatically
- convert this number into corresponding inches.
- When you change the line height measurement, WordPerfect
- inserts a [Ln Height:] code in the document at the cursor's

- numbering to begin. To turn on line numbering at the cursor
- position, follow the step sequence shown above and type Y after
- choosing the Line Numbering option. To turn line numbering off,
- type N in response to this option. You can also locate and delete
- the [Ln Num:On] code in the Reveal Codes screen.
- When you turn on line numbering, you are presented with five
- options, which are discussed below.
- You can select whether to include blank lines in the line
- count. If you want blank lines to be skipped, select the Count
- Blank Lines option and type N. WordPerfect automatically includes
- blank lines as it numbers lines unless you tell it not to. The
- count does not include blank lines in double-spaced text, however.
- The Number Every n Lines, where n is option allows you to
- specify the increment for line numbering. For example, if you want
- to number only every fifth line, enter 5; WordPerfect will count
- all the lines but will number only lines 5, 10, 15, 20, and so
- forth.
- The Position of Number from Left Edge option allows you to
- indicate where you want WordPerfect to print the line numbers.
- Enter the distance from the left edge of the page in inches.
- WordPerfect begins line numbering with 1 on each new page
- unless you change the Starting Number option and enter a new
- starting number.
- If you want line numbering to continue sequentially

- from the List Files menu; then select Long Display. To return to
- the short display, select Short Display. To retrieve a document by
- using its long document name, you must use the List Files screen.
- See Short/Long Document Names for more information about Long
- Display and document types.
- To move through the list of file names on the List Files
- screen, use the Up Arrow, Down Arrow, PgUp, and PgDn keys. To move
- directly to the last file name in the list, press Home Home Down
- Arrow. To move to the first file, press Home Home Up Arrow. To
- move between columns, use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys.
- To locate a particular file quickly, type N and start typing
- the first few characters of its name to activate the Name Search
- feature. The program tries to match the letters entered with files
- in the listing and moves the highlight directly to the first
- match. Press ─┘ or one of the arrow keys to exit from Name
- Search.
- To view the contents of a different directory, edit the
- displayed path name or enter another path name. If you will be
- working in a different directory during the current session, you
- can change the default directory (see Directories). Once you have
- made a particular directory current, all of the documents you
- create and save will automatically be located in it.
- Press Esc, F1 (Cancel), 0, or F7 (Exit) to return to your
- document after viewing the List Files screen.
- In WordPerfect 5.1, you can press F5 (List Files) to display
- the contents of a directory when you are importing a spreadsheet
- (see Spreadsheet) and when you are retrieving a graphic image (see
- Graphics).
-
- B)Usage--Looking at Files and Directories(B
-
- The Look option is the default setting on the List Files
- menu. It allows you to display the contents of the file whose name
- is currently highlighted. This feature is helpful when you need to
- view the contents of a file to see if it is the document you want
- to edit or print.
- When you highlight the name of a file and press ─┘ (or
- choose the Look option), WordPerfect displays the first part of
- the document on the screen. If you have added a document summary
- to the file, you will see its statistics at the top of the screen.
- You can scroll through the document using any of the standard
- cursor keys. To view the next or previous file in the directory
- listing, choose Next Doc or Previous Doc.
- In version 5.1, if the file you are looking at has a document
- summary, it will be displayed first, and you will see the
- following menu:
-
- 1 Next; 2 Previous; 3 Look at Text, 4 Print Summary; 5
- Save to File
-
- Choose Look at Text to look at the text of the document. To print
- the summary, choose Print Summary; you can also save it as a
- separate file by choosing Save to File. To return to the List
- Files menu after viewing the contents of the file, press F7
- (Exit).
- You can also use the Look option to temporarily view a new
- directory and locate the documents listed there. Highlight the
- name of the directory whose listing you wish to see and press ─┘
- (or choose Look and press ─┘), or double-click with the mouse.

- except N)
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- You can mark up to five separate lists in a document, but an
- item may belong to only one list. For each item that you want to
- include in a list, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Press Alt-F4 (or choose Block from the Edit menu) and
- use the cursor-movement keys or the mouse to mark the
- list item as a block.
- 2. Press Alt-F5 (Mark Text), then select the List option.
- 3. When the "List#" prompt appears, enter the number of the
- list (from 1 to 5).
-
- When you mark a list entry with this method, WordPerfect
- places [Mark:List,#] and [End Mark:List,#] codes around the marked
- text. To delete the entry from the list, you need only to locate
- and delete the [Mark:List #] code for that entry in the Reveal
- Codes screen.
- In addition to the five lists you mark yourself, WordPerfect
- automatically maintains separate predefined lists of the captions
- for figures, tables, text boxes, user-defined boxes, and equations
- (Version 5.1) created with the Graphics feature (see Graphics);
- they are assigned the list numbers 6 through 10, respectively. For
- example, to create a list composed of all of the captions for the
- text boxes in a document, you simply define the style and generate
- list 8. There is no need to mark individual captions.
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Style of the List(B
-
- WordPerfect allows you to choose among several formatting
- styles for the lists it generates. To define the style for a list,
- follow the steps as outlined in the key sequence. After you select
- the Define and Define List options, and indicate the number of the
- list (1-10), you select the option number corresponding to the
- style you wish to use.
- A [Def Mark:] code is inserted in the document when you press
- F7 (Exit) after selecting a style for the list. This marks the
- position where the list will be generated. Therefore, most often
- you will want to position the cursor at the end of the document
- before you define the list style to have it generated there.
-
- B)Usage--Generating Tables, Lists, and Indexes(B
-
- After marking the list entries (if you are creating a list
- from 1-5) and indicating the style of the list, you are ready to
- generate it. After you select the Generate option and the Generate
- Tables, Indexes, Automatic References, etc. option, WordPerfect
- will tell you that existing tables, lists, and indexes will
- be replaced.
- To have WordPerfect generate the list, choose Y or press any
- key besides N. If you have previously generated an index for the
- document, it will be completely replaced unless you choose N. The
- list is generated at the [Def Mark] code in the document, and the
- program automatically inserts an [End Def] mark at the end of the
- list.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- To lock the file displayed on the screen, follow the key
- sequence and select Add/Change. You will then be prompted to enter
- the password twice. The password can contain up to 24 characters.
- WordPerfect does not display the password on the screen, so it
- asks you to enter it twice to protect against typing errors. If
- the password you enter is not the same each time, you will receive
- an error message and must begin the file-locking procedure again.
- As soon as you save the document after assigning a password,
- it will be saved with the document. Thereafter, you will have to
- enter the password in order to retrieve, copy, move, or rename the
- document as well as to print it from disk. If you cannot enter the
- password correctly, you will never be able to retrieve or print it
- again.
- Once you have retrieved a locked file, you can edit it just
- like any other WordPerfect document. To remove a password from a
- file after retrieving, press Ctrl-F5 (Text In/Out) and select
- Password; then Remove. The next time you save the document, it
- will be saved without the password, which will no longer be
- required when you retrieve the file or print it from disk.

- <macro name> ─┘
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- A macro is a recorded sequence of keystrokes that you save in
- a file and can use repeatedly. Macros can consist of text that you
- do not want to retype, such as standard paragraphs in a contract
- or form letter, or complex sequences of commands, such as those
- that set up a document's format, save the document, and print it.
- You can even combine text and commands within macros to automate
- repetitious procedures such as locating and replacing formatting
- codes throughout a document (see Search and Replace).
- You can set up macros that repeat themselves, as well as
- macros that call other macros. In addition, you can specify that a
- macro be executed only if a certain condition is met.
-
- B)Usage--Creating Macros(B
-
- This section presents the rules you need to follow while
- creating macros.
- To create a macro:
-
- 1. Select Macro Define to begin the macro definition.
- WordPerfect will display the prompt "Define Macro:".
- Enter a macro name from one to eight characters long,
- with no spaces between characters, followed by ─┘, or
- press the Alt key in combination with a letter from A to
- Z, or simply press the Enter key (─┘).
- 2. WordPerfect will then display the prompt "Description:".
- You can then enter a description of the macro's
- function, which can have up to 39 characters. Then press
- ─┘.
- 3. WordPerfect then displays the prompt "Macro Def", which
- you'll see at the bottom of the screen until you
- terminate the macro definition. Enter all of the
- keystrokes that you want to include in the macro. Do not
- use the mouse to position the cursor in text; use the
- cursor keys instead.
- 4. Select Macro Define a second time to terminate the macro
- definition. WordPerfect automatically saves the
- definition in a file. The program appends the extension
- .WPM to the end of the file name you assigned to the
- macro. Macro files are automatically saved in the
- directory that you indicate as the Keyboard/Macro Files
- directory or in the directory that contains the
- WordPerfect program files, if you haven't yet specified
- such a directory (see Directories).
-
- B)Usage--Executing Macros(B
-
- To execute a macro whose name consists of one to eight
- characters, select Alt-F10 or select Macro then Execute from the
- Tools pull-down menu. WordPerfect displays the prompt "Macro:".
- Enter the name of the macro and press ─┘.
- To execute a macro that uses the Alt key and a letter from A
- to Z, you simply press Alt in combination with the letter key you
- assigned to the macro.
- To execute a macro that was named with the Enter key (─┘),
- press Alt-F10 and press ─┘. To terminate any macro before it is
- finished, press F1 (Cancel).
-
- B)Usage--Replacing and Editing Macros(B
-
- If a macro that you have defined does not work as you
- intended, you can redefine or edit it. To do either, select Macro
- Define and enter the same name you used when you originally
- defined the macro. WordPerfect 5.1 will display the prompt
-
- <macro name>.WPM is Already Defined. 1 Replace; 2 Edit:
- 0; 3 Description
-
- where <macro name> is the name you entered. To redefine the macro,
- select the Replace option, respond Yes to the prompt, and reenter
- a new description and the keystrokes you want recorded. Press
- Ctrl-F10 to terminate and save the new definition when you are
- finished.
- To edit the contents of a macro, select the Edit option. This
- takes you to the Macro Editor and places the cursor inside the
- macro editing window, which displays the keystrokes already saved
- in the macro.
- In WordPerfect 5.0, the Macro Editor has two options,
- Description and Action. To change the macro's description, select
- the Description option, edit the comment line, and press ─┘. To
- edit the contents of the macro, select the Action option.
- Macro programming commands and standard WordPerfect editing
- commands entered into the macro are both represented by a command
- or feature name enclosed in a pair of braces. For example, you
- might see the macro command {BELL}, which sounds the bell, or the
- editing command {Underline}, which underlines text.
- To move the cursor, insert new text, or delete existing text
- or codes in the Macro Editor, use the WordPerfect editing and
- cursor-movement keys as usual (see Cursor Movement). However, to
- add new WordPerfect commands to the macro, you must press Ctrl-V
- or Ctrl-F10 (Macro Define) before you press the appropriate
- function key(s). If you use Ctrl-F10 to enter the Function Key
- mode, you must press it again to reenter Edit mode before you use
- any of the editing or cursor-movement keys. Otherwise, WordPerfect
- will insert their codes into the macro (such as {Left} when you
- press Left Arrow) rather than performing their usual function (to
- move the cursor one character to the left). To insert a macro
- programming command into a macro, press Ctrl-PgUp. This displays a
- list of programming commands that you can scroll through. Move the
- highlight cursor to the command you wish to use and press ─┘ to
- insert it into the macro.
- Once you have finished editing the contents of a macro, press
- F7 (Exit) to save the new definition and return to the document
- editing screen. Press F1 (Cancel) if you wish to abandon any
- editing to the macro.
-
- B)Usage--Enhancing Macros(B
-
- You can insert a pause into a macro so that you can enter
- data from the keyboard while the macro is being executed. This
- enables you to write a general macro that you can use to accept
- variable data.
- To enter a pause for input into a macro, begin the definition
- of the macro as described under "Creating Macros" and then press
- Ctrl-PgUp at the point where you want to insert the pause. The
- following menu options will appear at the bottom of the screen:
-
- 1 Pause; 2 Display; 3 Assign; 4 Comment: 0
-
- Select Pause and then press ─┘ and continue with the definition
- of your macro. When you execute a macro that contains a pause (or
- pauses) for input, the macro will execute all keystrokes up to the
- place where you entered the pause and then beep to signal that it
- has paused. To resume macro execution after you have entered your
- text, press ─┘.
- To make a macro's operation visible on the screen, select the
- Display option after pressing Ctrl-PgUp. The prompt "Display
- execution? No (Yes)" will appear on the screen. Type Y to have the
- menu options briefly displayed on the document editing screen as
- WordPerfect commands are selected.
-
- B)Usage--Chaining Macros(B
-
- A macro can be started from within another macro, or a macro
- can be made to loop continuously by calling itself. To chain one
- macro to another, enter the second macro's name at the end of the
- first macro by pressing Alt-F10 followed by the name of the macro
- (if you are chaining an Alt macro, you must still press Alt-F10
- before pressing Alt and the appropriate letter). When two macros
- are chained in this way, all of the keystrokes in the first macro
- are executed before the keystrokes in the second are executed. By
- including a search procedure to locate text that you want the
- macro to process, you can make a macro automatically repeat until
- it has operated on all occurrences of the search string (see
- Search and Replace).
-
- B)Usage--Nesting Macros(B
-
- You can nest an Alt macro inside another macro by pressing
- Alt followed by the appropriate letter key (this time, don't press
- Alt-F10 before you press Alt and the letter key). When an Alt
- macro is nested inside another macro, WordPerfect executes the Alt
- macro's commands as soon as it comes to its name in the sequence
- of executing the commands in the first macro. After all of the
- commands in the Alt macro have been executed, WordPerfect resumes
- execution of any commands that come after the Alt macro name in
- the original macro.
- Note: WordPerfect 5.0 macros will run under WordPerfect 5.1
- if the keystrokes are the same; however, option numbers in some
- menus have changed. For example, some of the options on the Setup
- menu (Shift-F1) and the List Files screen (F5) have been
- renumbered (see List Files), as has the option for the path for
- downloadable fonts. If your 5.0 macro behaves erratically, edit it
- in the macro editor to conform to the new key sequence.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- To move the cursor one tab stop to the right, press the Tab
- key. To move the cursor one tab stop to the left, select Margin
- Release. When you use Margin Release to move left, WordPerfect
- inserts a [Mar Rel] code in the document in front of the [Tab]
- code. If you delete only the [Mar Rel] code, the [Tab] code
- will remain, and any text will be indented to its stop.
- You can use Margin Release with Indent to create a hanging
- indentation. To do this, press F4 to indent the paragraph, and then
- press Shift-Tab to remove the indentation for the first line only.
- Succeeding lines will be indented, as in the following example:
-
- Hanging indents are often useful to call attention to
- paragraphs in a series. Sometimes this style of
- indentation is referred to as an outdent.
-
- To delete a hanging indentation, locate and delete the
- [Mar Rel] and [Indent] codes in the Reveal Codes screen.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- To change the left and right margins for a document, position
- the cursor at the beginning of the line where you want the new
- margins to begin and follow the key sequence. The left-margin
- setting is the distance from the left edge of the paper, and the
- right-margin setting is the distance from the right edge of the
- paper. Any change to these settings takes effect from the cursor's
- position forward in the document. To set new left and right
- margins for the entire document, be sure that the cursor is at the
- beginning of the file (press Home Home Up Arrow to get there)
- before you change them.
- When you change the left- and right-margin settings in a
- document, WordPerfect inserts an [L/R Mar:] code that includes
- their new settings. To revert to the default 1" settings, locate
- this code in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- To change the top and bottom margins for a document, position
- the cursor at the beginning of the page where you want the margins
- to change and follow the key sequence. The top-margin setting is
- the distance from the top edge of the paper, and the bottom-margin
- setting is the distance from the bottom edge of the paper. Any
- change to these settings takes effect from the cursor's position
- forward in the document. To set new top and bottom margins for the
- entire document, be sure that the cursor is at the beginning of
- the file (press Home Home Up Arrow to get there) before you change
- them.
- WordPerfect maintains the top- and bottom-margin settings in
- effect by automatically adjusting the number of lines per page
- according to the fonts and line heights used. Therefore, there is
- no need to change the top- and bottom-margin settings when you
- change the sizes of fonts or the line height(s) in the document.
- When you change the top- and bottom-margin settings in a
- document, WordPerfect inserts a [T/B Mar:] code that includes
- their new settings. To revert to the default top- and bottom-
- margin settings of 1" each, locate and delete this code in the
- Reveal Codes screen.

-
- Mark Text is used for automatic references, master documents,
- document comparison, redline and strikeout removal, outlining,
- paragraph numbering, indexes and concordances, and tables of
- contents and authorities. When you press Alt-F5, or use the Mark
- pull-down menu, you will see the options shown in the key
- sequence. (If you're using the pull-down menu system,
- you will also see the options Master Documents and Document
- Compare.) If you have already marked text as a block, the options
- are slightly different (as shown in the second key sequence),
- because they are designed to allow you to designate which category
- the marked text is to be in.

-
- Alt-F5 (Mark Text) or Mark pull-down
- Generate
- Condense Master Document
- Save Subdocs? No (Yes)
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- The Master Document feature allows you to join any number of
- separate WordPerfect files so that they are treated as one long
- document for the purposes of printing and automated references.
- Each WordPerfect document tied to a master document is
- considered a subdocument. A master document can be simply a series
- of subdocument codes, indicating where the text of each
- subdocument is to be inserted, or it can contain text of its own.
- To insert a subdocument code, position the cursor in the master
- document where the subdocument text is to occur (usually pressing
- Ctrl-─┘ first to ensure that it begins on a separate page) and
- follow the key sequence. When prompted to enter the subdocument
- file name, type the name of the document. When you press ─┘,
- WordPerfect displays the name of the subdocument, enclosed in a
- single-line box, and enters a [Subdoc:] code into the master
- document. To delete a subdocument from a master document, locate
- this code in the Reveal Codes screen and delete it. The box
- containing the subdocument's name in the document editing screen
- will then disappear.
-
- B)Usage--Expanding and Condensing Subdocuments(B
-
- To edit the text of a subdocument from within the master
- document, expand the master document to include the text of all
- subdocuments within it. Just follow the key sequence.
- When the master document is expanded, the [Subdoc:] code is
- replaced by the text of the subdocument, enclosed in [Subdoc
- Start:] and [Subdoc End:] codes. Once a master document is
- expanded, you can edit any of its text, including that within the
- [Subdoc Start:] and [Subdoc End:] codes.
- When you use the Exit (F7) or Save (F10) functions on an
- expanded master document, you receive the prompt "Document is
- expanded, Condense it? Yes (No)". Press ─┘ to condense it before
- saving it. When you condense a master document, as indicated in
- the key sequence, the text of the subdocuments is replaced with
- the appropriate [Subdoc:] codes. Choose No to save it in expanded
- form. If you press ─┘, you receive a second prompt "Save Subdocs?
- Yes (No)". In version 5.1, you have three options: choose Yes to
- have WordPerfect replace the subdocument with its revised version;
- choose No to save the subdocument under a new file name; choose
- Replace All Remaining to save all the revised subdocuments in the
- master document without further prompts.
- Press ─┘ to save any editing changes in the subdocument
- files before the master document is condensed. Choose N if you
- don't want to update the subdocuments with the changes you have
- made.
- You can also condense a master document at any time before
- saving it. When you do, you receive the same prompt to save the
- subdocuments as when you save the master document.
- During editing, be careful that you don't delete any of the
- [Subdoc Start:] or [Subdoc End:] codes. If you do, WordPerfect
- won't be able to replace the text that belongs to those codes with
- the [Subdoc:] code. Therefore, the subdocument's text will remain
- expanded in the master document. In such a case, delete the
- subdocument text that can't be condensed and then reinsert the
- file as a subdocument.
- You must expand the master document before you print it, or
- the printout will contain the Subdocument codes instead of the
- text stored in the subdocuments.
- You should also expand prior to generating tables of
- contents, lists, and indexes. WordPerfect will automatically
- expand the master document for you and display the prompt "Update
- Subdocs? Yes (No)". Press ─┘ to save the subdocuments before
- condensing the master document. Choose N if you don't want the
- changes saved to them.

- F7 (Exit)
-
- Note: In version 5.0, the Columns/Table key is called the
- Math/Columns key.
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- You can use WordPerfect as a calculator for simple
- mathematical functions such as addition, subtraction, multipli-
- cation, and division. The program can calculate totals, subtotals,
- and grand totals on numbers down columns. In addition, you can
- write formulas that perform mathematical operations across columns
- of numbers.
- You can use the Tables feature of version 5.1 much like a
- spreadsheet (see Tables). You may want to use Tables instead of
- the Math feature for some applications.
-
- B)Usage--Turning Math On(B
-
- To get totals, subtotals, and grand totals from simple
- columns of numbers (not predefined as Math columns):
-
- 1. Clear and then reset the tabs (see Tabs). When Math mode
- is on, WordPerfect will align tabs on the
- decimal/alignment character, which is the period (.)
- unless you change it (see Decimal/Align Character).
- 2. To turn Math on, press Alt-F7 (Columns/Tables), select
- the Math On option, and then select On. The Math prompt
- appears in the lower left corner of the screen.
- 3. Press the Tab key to move to the first column, then
- enter the numbers you wish to work with. When you press
- the period (.) to indicate a decimal point, the numbers
- will align on that decimal point. When Math mode is on,
- WordPerfect treats the tab stop as a decimal tab, like
- the Tab Align key.
- 4. Wherever you want a subtotal to be calculated in that
- column, insert a plus sign (+), either from the numeric
- keypad or from the top row of your keyboard. WordPerfect
- will subtotal each number in the column after the
- previous plus sign. Where you want a total of the sub-
- totals, enter an equal sign (=). If you want any numbers
- to be considered as subtotals or totals even if no
- calculation has been performed on them, enter t before
- any additional subtotals and T before any additional
- totals. To calculate a grand total--the total of all the
- totals--enter an asterisk (*).
- 5. To tell WordPerfect to make the calculations you have
- specified, select Columns/Tables and then Calculate.
- (You can select this option at any time to have the
- program perform calculations--for example, as you enter
- the numbers.) WordPerfect displays double question marks
- (??) if it cannot make a calculation. If this occurs,
- recheck your Math Definition screen to make sure that
- the column references in any formulas you have written
- are correct.
- 6. Turn Math mode off by selecting Math Off from the
- Columns/Tables menu.
-
- When Math mode is on, you can move between columns by using a
- combination of the Ctrl key and the Right Arrow and Left Arrow
- keys. Pressing Home Left Arrow after the Ctrl-Home (Go To)
- sequence takes you to the beginning of the first text column.
-
- B)Usage--Defining Math Columns(B
-
- If you want to perform calculations across columns of
- numbers, you need to define math columns.
- For each column, you define three things: the type of column
- (calculation, text, numeric, or total), the symbol to be used with
- negative numbers (either parentheses or the minus sign), and the
- number of decimal places that are to be displayed (0-4). To do
- this, press Alt-F7 and select the Math and Define options to use
- the Math Definition screen; or select Math from the Layout pull-
- down menu then select Define. Each row under the letters A through
- X corresponds to a column.
- All columns are predefined as numeric columns (type 2). To
- change a column's definition, move the cursor to its letter by
- using the arrow keys. Enter 0 if the column is to contain a
- formula, enter 1 if the column is to contain only text, or enter 3
- if the column is to contain a total calculated from other columns.
- If you have defined the column as type 0, the cursor moves down to
- the Calculation Formulas section of the screen to allow you to
- enter the formula for the calculation. Only four columns can be
- defined for calculations. Press F7 to exit to the menu and save
- the definition. Press F1 to cancel.
-
- B)Usage--Displaying Totals in Separate Columns(B
-
- If you have defined Math columns, you can display subtotals,
- totals, and grand totals in separate columns. To do so, simply
- define the column or columns that you wish to hold the total
- calculations as total columns (type 3) and type the +, =, or *
- symbol in your document in the column where you want the
- calculation to appear.
-
- B)Usage--Using Special Operators for Row Calculations(B
-
- To use certain special operators in computing the totals and
- averages of rows, define the column that is to hold these special
- operators as a calculation column (type 0). Then, when the cursor
- moves to the Calculation Formulas area of the Math Definition
- screen, enter any one of the special operators listed here.
-
- ■ The + symbol calculates the total of all the numbers in
- the row that are in numeric columns (type 2).
- ■ The +/ symbol calculates the average of all the numbers
- in the row that are in numeric columns (type 2).
- ■ The = symbol calculates the total of all the numbers in
- the row that are in total columns (type 3).
- ■ The =/ symbol calculates the average of all the numbers
- in the row that are in total columns (type 3).
-
- These special operators work on numbers to their right and
- left, across the entire row--not just on numbers to the left.
-
- B)Usage--Revising Math Definitions(B
-
- You will often want to change the definitions of math columns
- so that you can add new columns of data, delete columns, or move
- columns to new locations. With your cursor positioned before the
- [Math On] code in the Reveal Codes screen, you can delete the old
- [Math Def] code. Then press Alt-F7 (Columns/Tables), select Math,
- and select the Define option to change any column definitions that
- you wish. Recalculate by using the new definition before you move
- to another part of your document.
- To revise a Math Definitions screen that you have already
- defined, position the cursor to the right of the [MathDef] code
- before you press Alt-F7 and select the Math and Define options.
- You can then use the cursor-movement keys to position the cursor
- on the settings you wish to change. To edit a formula, place the
- cursor on the 0 that defines the column holding the formula and
- reenter 0. The cursor will move to the Calculation Formulas
- section of the screen, where you can edit the formula or delete it
- by pressing F1 (Cancel).
- Remember that if you add, delete, or move columns, you will
- also need to revise the formulas that involve them.

-
- Note: Merge codes have changed in version 5.1 of WordPerfect.
- In version 5.0, you enter the merge codes ^C, ^D, ^E, ^F, ^G, ^N,
- ^O, ^P, ^Q, ^S, ^T, ^U, and ^V by pressing Shift-F9. Ends of
- fields are indicated by pressing F9. Ends of records are indicated
- by pressing Shift-F9 and inserting a ^E merge code.
-
- WordPerfect offers many optional Merge codes that you can use
- to adapt the merge operation to special requirements. To insert a
- Merge code in a document, choose More from the Merge menu. To
- select a code, move the highlight cursor to it and press ─┘. You
- can also type the first letter of a code's name to move directly
- to it. In version 5.0, you press Shift-F9 (Merge Codes) and type
- the letter of the code.
- Version 5.1 has changed the merge codes. In addition to the
- {FIELD}name~ (called ^F in version 5.0), {END FIELD} (^R in 5.0),
- and {END RECORD} (^E in 5.0), the following codes that have
- version 5.0 equivalents can be used in WordPerfect 5.1:
- {CHAIN MACRO}macroname~--Replaces the version 5.0 ^G code;
- instructs the program to execute a macro when the merge
- terminates.
- {DATE}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^D code; inserts the current
- date.
- {INPUT}message~--Replaces the version 5.0 ^Message ^O^C^O
- code combination; allows you to present a user-created message
- prompt or menu options on the screen. After the data is entered,
- the user presses F9 to resume the merge.
- {KEYBOARD}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^C code; pauses the
- merge and allows you to enter data for a field directly from the
- keyboard.
- {MRG CMND}codes{MRG CMND}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^V code;
- allows you to insert merge codes into the document currently being
- created. This command is quite useful for setting up a complex
- merge operation that adds records that you can transfer to an
- existing secondary merge document. Thus, you can essentially
- automate the procedure of adding records to any of your secondary
- merge files.
- {NEST PRIMARY}filename~--Replaces the version 5.0 ^P code;
- designates the primary file to be used so that you can switch to a
- different primary file during a merge.
- {NEXT RECORD}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^N code that told the
- program to go to the next record. Insert this code by choosing
- Next Record from the Merge Codes menu.
- {PAGE OFF}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^N^P^P combination;
- tells the program not to place a hard page break after each
- primary file. Insert this code by choosing Page Off from the Merge
- Codes menu.
- {PRINT}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^T code; sends text that
- has been merged up to the location of that code to the printer.
- {PROMPT}message~--Replaces the version 5.0 ^O code; allows
- you to present a message on the screen.
- {QUIT}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^Q code; terminates a merge
- operation.
- {REWRITE}--Replaces the version 5.0 ^U code; rewrites the
- screen, causing the merge document currently being generated to be
- displayed on the screen.
- {SUBST SECONDARY}filename~--Replaces the version 5.0 ^S code;
- allows you to specify a secondary file to be switched to during a
- merge.
- In addition to these codes, version 5.1 allows you to use
- many other sophisticated merge commands that control merge
- operations. For example, you can chain primary and secondary files
- so that when one merge finishes, another automatically begins, and
- nest merge files so WordPerfect will switch to them during a
- merge. In addition, special merge commands allow you to direct
- WordPerfect to specific fields during a merge. These and other
- merge commands are described in detail in your reference manual.
- You can use merge documents created in version 5.0 with
- version 5.1, or you can update the codes to the new system by
- selecting Ctrl-F9 then Convert old Merge Codes.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Merge operations in WordPerfect can become quite complex, as
- the program contains many sophisticated merge features. It is
- beyond the scope of this reference to present a complete tutorial
- in merge-printing with WordPerfect; instead, this guide briefly
- summarizes the rules for working with merge operations.
- To perform a basic merge operation, such as a form letter,
- you usually create and use two separate files: a secondary file
- that contains all of the data to be substituted into each merged
- document (such as names and addresses), and a primary file (such
- as a letter) that indicates by special codes where each item from
- the secondary file is to be placed. If you do not need to save the
- variable data to use again, you can skip the process of creating
- the secondary file and instead enter each variable item from the
- keyboard as it is needed.
- When the program performs the merge, it takes each record
- that you have specified from the secondary file and inserts its
- contents into the appropriate place in the primary file, creating
- a new merge file consisting of one filled-out standard document
- for each record.
- For more information, see Merge Codes and Merge Operations,
- Performing.
-
- B)Usage--The Primary File(B
-
- Any primary file you use must indicate where the contents
- (fields) of the records in the secondary merge file are to be
- inserted. You do this by pressing Shift-F9, or choosing Merge
- Codes from the Tools menu, then selecting Field. You then enter
- the name or number of the field and press ─┘. In version 5.0, you
- do this by pressing Shift-F9, typing F, entering the number of the
- field (n), and pressing ─┘. In WordPerfect 5.1, the program
- displays name ~ at that point in your document. The variable name
- can be either a field name, such as customer address (note that
- you can use spaces), or a number. (In version 5.0, you can only
- use field numbers.) WordPerfect 5.1 displays the number of the
- current field at the bottom of the screen so that you can keep
- track of fields as you create your primary document. (See below
- for a description of how to use field names in version 5.1.)
- Each time the program encounters a {FIELD}name~ in a primary
- file (or a field number in WordPerfect 5.0), it inserts the
- corresponding data from the nth (or name) field in the record that
- is current in the secondary merge file. For example, if the code
- were 1, WordPerfect would insert the contents of the first field
- in the current record. WordPerfect numbers fields sequentially,
- beginning with 1 for the first data item.
- If you are entering data from the keyboard instead of using a
- secondary file, enter a ^C merge code at each point in the
- document where you want to insert variable data. This instructs
- WordPerfect to pause for input.
-
- B)Usage--Creating a Primary File(B
-
- To create a primary merge file:
-
- 1. Begin a new document, such as a letter. Enter all of the
- text that is not to vary from merge document to merge
- document.
- 2. Indicate any places where you want information to be
- supplied from the secondary merge file by entering a
- name~ merge code. Do this by pressing Shift-F9 and
- choosing Field, or selecting Merge Codes from the Tools
- pull-down menu; enter a {KEYBOARD} merge code for input
- from the keyboard by choosing More and selecting
- {KEYBOARD}. In version 5.0, these codes are ^F and ^C,
- respectively. You cannot enter the correct codes by
- typing {KEYBOARD} or {FIELD}name~; you must enter them
- as described for your merge to take place successfully.
-
- WordPerfect 5.0 places the field number inside a pair of
- carets (^) in the document. For instance, if you enter 2 after the
- Field prompt, it will appear as ^F2^ in the text when you press
- ─┘. To delete a field from the primary file, you must delete the
- entire field designation, including the carets.
-
- B)Usage--The Secondary File(B
-
- The secondary merge file contains the data that will be
- inserted into the final merged documents. To prepare a secondary
- merge file, which is basically a database consisting of records
- and fields, you must follow a certain set of rules so that the
- program can accurately locate the data you want to use:
-
- ■ Each item of data (field) must start on a separate line.
- ■ Each line must be terminated by an {END FIELD} code (a
- ^R code in version 5.0), which indicates the end of a
- field. To insert this code, press F9.
- ■ Each record must end with an {END RECORD} code (a ^E
- code in version 5.0), which indicates the end of a
- record. To insert this code, use the Merge Codes command
- and type E. WordPerfect will insert the code and a hard
- page break into the document (see Page Break, Soft and
- Hard).
- ■ Each record must have the same number of fields,
- although some of them can be empty. This way,
- WordPerfect can always locate the correct data for, say,
- item 9, which would be in the ninth field. If records
- had variable numbers of fields, that data would not
- always be in the field with the same number.
- ■ A field can contain more than one line of data. For
- example, you can use a field to contain an entire
- standard paragraph or clause in a contract and simply
- insert it each time it is needed.
- ■ A field can contain several items of information, as
- long as you are willing to use those items as a unit.
- For example, a field may contain a complete name, such
- as "Rev. Evelyn Barker," but you will not be able to
- break that name into smaller units in your final
- documents.
- ■ In version 5.1, you can use field names instead of
- numbers. To do so, move to the beginning of the
- secondary document. Then choose More from the Merge
- Codes menu. From the menu that appears, choose {FIELD
- NAMES}name1...nameN. You will then be prompted to
- enter names for the field numbers you are using. For
- example, if the first field (field 1) holds the customer
- name, you may want to enter customer name at the "Field
- 1:" prompt. When you have assigned all the field names
- that you need, press F7 (Exit) to return to your
- secondary file. You will then see a new {FIELD NAMES}
- record listing all of the named fields you have set up,
- as the first record in the document. After you have
- assigned field names, you can reference the fields in
- the secondary file by name in your primary file instead
- of by number.
-
- B)Usage--Creating a Secondary File(B
-
- To create a secondary merge file:
-
- 1. Begin each information item (field) on its own line and
- terminate it with a Merge R code. (In version 5.0, this
- is an ^R code.) If you do not have information for a
- particular field, press F9 to enter a Merge R code to
- mark its position in the record.
- 2. Indicate where each record ends by entering a Merge E
- code on a separate line.
-
- B)Usage--Merging Delimited Files(B
-
- You may often want to use WordPerfect's Merge feature with
- secondary files such as a database of names and addresses that was
- created in a database program. In database files used for mail-
- merge operations, fields and records are arranged by using
- delimiters, which are special characters that indicate the ends of
- fields and records. Some programs use beginning and end
- delimiters; some use only end delimiters. If you are setting up a
- merge with one of these ASCII delimited files, you can tell
- WordPerfect 5.1 what the delimiter characters are as you begin the
- merge. When you are prompted for the name of the secondary file to
- use, press Ctrl-F5 (Text In/Out) and enter the name of that file.
- You can then indicate which field and record delimiters the DOS
- text delimited file uses. (If you use the same type of file often
- for merges, you can use the Setup menu to indicate what the
- delimiters are.) You will see that WordPerfect has set the default
- end-field delimiter to be a comma and the default end-record
- delimiter to be a carriage return. If these are not the characters
- used by your database program, you can change them to the
- characters used in the files you are working with. WordPerfect
- will then place the {END FIELD} and {END RECORD} codes at the
- proper locations when you merge the files.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- For general information on merging, see Merge Operations. To
- perform a merge operation, press Ctrl-F9 (Merge/Sort) and select
- Merge, or choose Merge from the Tools menu. You are then prompted
- to enter the names of the primary and secondary merge files to
- use. As soon as you enter the name of the file containing the
- secondary merge data you wish to use, WordPerfect begins the merge
- operation.
- While the new file is being generated, you will see the
- message "* Merging *" displayed in the lower left corner of the
- screen. When the merge operation is completed, the cursor will be
- at the end of the file. Scroll through the file to make sure the
- correct data are in each field; then save the file.
-
- B)Usage--Aborting a Merge(B
-
- You can abort a merge operation at any time before it is
- finished by pressing F1 (Cancel). This causes WordPerfect to stop
- merging and to write any letters or forms that have been completed
- to the screen. (This is useful if you are using a large secondary
- file and you do not need to print documents for all the records.)
- To reexecute the merge operation, press F7 (Exit) and answer N to
- the prompt about saving the new document. You can then edit either
- the primary or secondary merge file and reissue the Merge command.
-
- B)Usage--Merging to the Printer(B
-
- WordPerfect doesn't automatically save a newly created merge
- file. When it completes a merge, it sends the merged file to the
- screen and simply holds it in RAM. If you have a large number of
- records in your secondary merge file, you may run out of RAM
- before WordPerfect generates all of the merged copies. If this
- occurs, the program stops the merge operation when no more memory
- is available and processes only part of your secondary merge file.
- You can get around this limitation by using the technique
- WordPerfect calls "merging to the printer". A special code,
- {PRINT} (^T in WordPerfect 5.0), instructs the program to send
- each document to the printer as it is completed and then clear its
- contents from RAM.
-
- Note: When you merge to the printer, you may need to insert
- additional codes that tell WordPerfect specifically which primary
- and secondary file to use for each merge, which records to use,
- and so forth (see Merge Codes).
-
- A)Mouse (Version 5.1)(A
-
- Version 5.1 allows you to use a mouse to highlight text, move
- the cursor, and select commands and functions without using the
- keyboard.
- To use a mouse with WordPerfect 5.1, you must first install
- it according to the documentation that came with your mouse. Then
- use the Setup menu to tell the program what kind of mouse you are
- using, which port it is attached to, and so forth.
- You can use a mouse to select features and commands as well
- as using the keyboard, or you can use a combination of the two. To
- display the pull-down menu, click the right mouse button. To
- remove the pull-down menu display, click the right button again
- (or press F7 or the spacebar).
-
- Note: If you are using the mouse as a left-handed mouse, keep
- in mind that your mouse buttons are reversed.
-
- When a pull-down menu is displayed, you can move the mouse
- pointer to an item and click the left mouse button to select it,
- or you can press and hold the left mouse button down and drag the
- pointer to an item, releasing the left mouse button to select it.
- When a regular menu is displayed, you can click on an item to
- select it or click with the right button to remove the menu from
- the screen. The right mouse button works like the F7 (Exit) key,
- but it will not exit you from WordPerfect.
- Keep in mind that the mouse pointer is not the same as the
- cursor; the cursor indicates the current entry point in your
- document. When you move the mouse pointer to a location on the
- screen and click the left mouse button, you move the cursor to
- that location.
- You can also click on prompts to select the highlighted
- command that the prompt is displaying, such as Yes (No). To accept
- the default response, double-click the left mouse button; it works
- the same as pressing ─┘.
- When WordPerfect is displaying a list of items, such as when
- you are in the List Files screen, the Select Printer screen, or
- the Base Font screen, you can double-click on an item to select
- it. In List Files, double-clicking lets you look at the contents
- of a file or directory.
- To use the mouse with the Search function, select Search,
- enter the pattern to search for, and press the right mouse button.
- If you need to see parts of your document that are not
- visible on the screen, you can use the mouse to scroll to them.
- Press the right mouse button and then drag the mouse to the edge
- of the screen in the direction you want to scroll (right, left,
- up, or down). To stop scrolling, release the mouse button. To
- block text and scroll at the same time, use the left mouse button.
- To cancel a command or restore a deletion with a two-button
- mouse, press either mouse button and hold it down. Click the other
- button and release both. On a three-button mouse, the middle
- button works like the F1 (Cancel) key. Most commands can be
- canceled by pressing the right mouse button.
-
- Note: Do not use the mouse to position the cursor when you
- are defining a macro; use the arrow keys instead.

- in the key sequence), you receive the prompt "New name:" followed
- by the current file name. To rename it, edit or retype the file
- name. To move it to a new directory, edit the path name and leave
- the file name as is. To move a file and rename it simultaneously,
- edit both the path name and the file name. After making these
- changes, press ─┘. If you renamed the document, the new name will
- appear in the directory listing after you press ─┘. If you moved
- the document, its name will no longer appear in the listing (you
- must change directories to see it).
- You can use the Move/Rename option to relocate multiple files
- in one operation. Mark all of the files to be moved with an
- asterisk (*) by moving the cursor highlight to each one and typing
- * (you can mark all of the files in the List Files listing at one
- time by pressing Alt-F5). After marking the files to be moved,
- select the Move/Rename option, enter the name of the
- drive/directory that they are to be moved to, and press ─┘.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- After you have turned on Outline mode, each time you enter
- characters or a space and then press ─┘, a new outline number is
- generated in your text. To generate a number at a lower level,
- press the Tab key after pressing ─┘. In version 5.1 you can
- specify whether you want pressing ─┘ to generate a new outline
- number (it is preset to do so) and whether that number should be
- at a fixed level (see below).
- While you are in Outline mode, the prompt "Outline" appears
- in the lower-left corner of your screen. In version 5.0, to turn
- off Outline mode, press Shift-F5 (Date/Outline) and select the
- Outline option again. In version 5.1, choose On or Off to turn
- outlining on and off. Outline mode must be on (the Outline message
- must be visible on the screen) in order for automatic outline
- numbering to work.
- With the default settings in version 5.1, to indent text
- without entering an outline number or letter when you are in
- Outline mode, press the spacebar before you press the Tab key. You
- can also use Indent (F4) or Indent (Shift-F4) to indent
- text without inserting outline numbers.
-
- B)Usage--Working with Outline Families(B
-
- Version 5.1 also allows you to work with associated entries
- in an outline, which it calls an outline family. An outline family
- includes the level of the line that contains the cursor as well as
- subordinate outline entries. For example, if your cursor were on
- the line containing item II in an outline and there were
- subordinate entries below it (items A and B), those items plus all
- of their subordinate entries (II.A.1, II.A.2, II.B.1, II.B.2, and
- so forth) would be considered an outline family. You can move,
- copy, and delete outline families, which allows you to restructure
- and edit your outlines quickly. Moving, copying, and deleting
- outline families works similarly to block moving and copying: when
- the cursor is located on the line where you want to begin moving,
- copying, or deleting that item plus all the successive related
- items below it, press Shift-F5 (Date/Outline) or choose Outline
- from the Tools menu; then choose one of the family options--Move
- Family, Copy Family, or Delete Family. Once you have deleted a
- family, you can restore it immediately at another location by
- pressing Shift-F10 (Retrieve) and pressing ─┘.
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Paragraph/Outline Numbering Style(B
-
- WordPerfect's default outlining style follows the system I.,
- A., 1., a., (1), (a), i), a). You can use more than these eight
- levels; the eighth-level definition is used for the levels after
- the eighth, and each level is indented one additional tab stop.
- Three other numbering styles are also built into the program:
- paragraph style, which uses the system 1., a., i., (1), (a), (i),
- (1), a); legal style, which numbers each paragraph and level
- sequentially as 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, and so forth; and bullet style,
- which uses a system of symbols that not all printers can produce.
- You can also change the system of numbering and punctuation by
- selecting the User-Defined option and specifying a custom style.
- Version 5.1 lets you specify whether it should automatically
- adjust the outline to the current level. It is preset to Yes, but
- if you want the program to always use a first-level number, such
- as I., II., III., and so forth, change this setting to No. You can
- also change whether pressing ─┘ inserts a new level or simply a
- hard return when you are in Outline mode.
-
- B)Usage--Creating Styles for Outlines(B
-
- In version 5.1, you can create styles for your outlines by
- using the Outline Style Name option. It allows you to create a
- style for each numbering level and to maintain a library of those
- styles that you can choose from at any time. Creating an outline
- style (see the step sequence above) is similar to creating a style
- in the Style menu (Alt-F8): Choose Create; move the cursor to the
- level you are creating a new style for; then enter the information
- about it, such as its name and description, type (open or paired),
- and so forth. If the style is a paired style, you can choose
- whether pressing ─┘ turns it off or off and on again by using the
- Enter option. At the Codes option, you can specify text and text
- attributes, such as bold and italic, and sizes, such as Small or
- Large, or specify a different font for your outline numbers. For
- information about how to create and work with styles, see Styles.

- characters, such as foreign-language characters that use accent
- marks or special math/science symbols. This is helpful if your
- printer canot print characters in WordPerfect's Character sets
- created with the Compose feature (see Compose). You can also use
- Overstrike to have your printer combine attributes available from
- the Font, Size, or Color menus that appear when you press Ctrl-F8
- (Font).
- When you enter the characters and/or font attributes for
- Overstrike (as shown in the key sequence), you see all of the
- characters and attribute codes as you enter them. When you press
- ─┘ and F7 (Exit) to return to the editing screen, you see there
- only the last character entered. WordPerfect prints all of the
- characters and attributes included in the Overstrike definition in
- the same position in the document.
- To edit a composite character created with Overstrike, bring
- up the Reveal Codes screen with Alt-F3, position the cursor
- immediately following the [Ovrstk:] code, and select the Edit
- option as indicated in the key sequence. Enter the new characters
- and/or attributes, press ─┘, and then press F7 (Exit) to return
- to the editing screen. (See Codes.)

-
- B)Usage--Hard Page Breaks(B
-
- You can insert hard page breaks by pressing Ctrl-─┘ at the
- point where you want a page break to occur or by selecting Layout,
- Align, and Hard Page from the pull-down menus. For example, you
- might want to end a short page at the end of one section of a

- Columns.)
- To delete a hard page break, position the cursor next to the
- line of equal signs that represents it and press Backspace or
- Delete, or locate and delete the [HPg] code in the Reveal Codes

- Shift-F8 (Format) or Layout pull-down
- Page
- Page Numbering
- New Page Number; Page Number Style; Insert Page
- Number; Page Number Position
-
- Note: In version 5.0, your options are different. To turn off
- page numbering, choose No Page Numbers after selecting Page
- Numbering. To specify a new starting page number, choose New Page
- Number from the Page Format menu.
-
- B)Usage--Using the Page Numbering Menu(B
-
- WordPerfect is preset for no page numbering, but you can turn
- on page numbering at any point in your document by using the Page
- Numbering option on the Page Format menu, as indicated in the key
- sequence. When you select Page Numbering, you will see a menu with
- four choices.
- You can begin numbering with a number other than 1 or change
- the numbering system from Arabic (1, 2, 3) to upper- or lowercase
- Roman (I, II, III; i, ii, iii) by using the New Page Number option
- and typing in the new number.
- If you want page numbers to include text, choose Page Number
- Style (Version 5.1) and enter the text as you want it to appear,
- up to 30 characters. Include any size and appearance changes in
- the font. Type (Ctrl-B) where you want the page number--for
- example, Page ^B. WordPerfect will insert the Ctrl-B for you at
- the last cursor position if you leave it out.
- To specify that the page number appear somewhere else in your
- document, such as in a header or within text, move the cursor to
- the location where you want the page number to appear and then
- choose Insert Page Number (Version 5.1). If your page number style
- is simply ^B (that is, if there is no text as part of the page
- number style), you can simply press Ctrl-B where you want the page
- number to appear (see below).
- When you choose Page Number Position, you will see a menu
- that presents eight different choices for page number positions on
- every page or on alternating pages. (If you are using version 5.0,
- you will see this menu as soon as you choose the Page Numbering
- option on the Page menu.) Press F to see a figure illustrating
- this screen.
- Choose options 1-3 and 5-7 for page numbers to appear in the
- same place on every page. Options 4 and 8 will insert page numbers
- in different locations on alternating left and right pages. Option
- 9 turns off page numbering. If you are not specifying text to be
- used with page numbers, choosing Page Number Position is all you
- need to do to turn on Arabic page numbering.
- When you return to your document by pressing F7 (Exit), you
- will not see page numbers on the screen, but they will appear when
- the document is printed. You can use the View Document feature to
- view page numbers in position on the screen (see View Document).
-
- B)Usage--Inserting(B
-
- You can also use page numbering by inserting the code ^B in
- your document. For example, if you want your headers or footers to
- contain page numbers, enter a ^B (Ctrl-B) at the position where
- you want the page number to occur. To specify the position of page
- numbers in headers and footers, press Alt-F6 (Flush Right) or
- Shift-F6 (Center) before you enter the ^B. If you are using both
- the Page Numbering feature and the Headers or Footers feature, be
- sure to insert an extra blank line at the beginning of the header
- or at the end of the footer so that WordPerfect will have a line
- on which to print the page number by itself; otherwise the page
- number will overprint the last line of the header or footer.
- When you begin numbering with a new page number, you will see
- the change reflected on the status line. Be sure to move the
- cursor to the beginning of the page where you want numbering to
- start when you use either the Page Numbering or New Page Number
- option.
- To suppress page numbering on any given page, use the
- Suppress option of the Page Format menu (see Suppress Page
- Format). To turn off page numbering, use the No Page Numbers
- option on the Page Number Position menu.

-
- WordPerfect is preset to use 8½ x 11-inch paper, but you can
- change to a different size and type of paper by using the Paper
- Size/Type option on the Page Format menu. In version 5.1 this
- feature is a streamlined version of the Forms feature of version
- 5.0; if you are using version 5.0, see Forms.
- When you choose the Paper Size/Type option, you will see a
- list of the paper sizes and types that have been defined for the
- printer that is currently selected. You can select one of these or
- select Add to create a new paper size and type, or you can copy a
- paper size and type that is close to what you want, and edit it.

- from a menu of several standard types, or choose Other and enter
- the name of the form you are using. After you specify the paper
- type, you can specify a size. In addition, you can choose Font
- Type to specify whether the font is Landscape (printed sideways on
- the page) or Portrait (printed in the normal orientation). Choose
- Prompt to Load if you want WordPerfect to prompt you to load a
- special paper into your printer when you print a document using
- this paper size and type. The Location option allows you to
- specify whether the paper will be sheet-fed from a bin, manually
- fed, or continuous form. Choose Double Sided Printing if you are
- printing on both sides of the paper. The Binding Edge option
- allows you to specify whether the document should be printed so
- that it can be bound at the top or on the left side. The Labels
- option is used when you are printing mailing labels (see Labels).
- The final option, Text Adjustment, allows you to adjust the
- placement of the text on the page if your document is not printing
- properly.

- Do Not Print; Draft; Medium; High
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- The Graphics Quality and Text Quality options on the Print
- menu control the quality of document printing (draft, medium, and
- high) for the text and graphic images in your document. You can
- use these options to prepare rough drafts of documents and to
- print graphics (which take longer to print) separately from
- document text. You can select a different print quality for both
- text and graphics. WordPerfect prints color graphics in black and
- white, using shading for the color areas.
- If your printer can print both text and graphics, but not at
- the same time, you can use the Do Not Print option after selecting
- the Graphics Quality option to print just the text. Then reinsert
- the paper in the printer and print just the graphics by selecting
- the Do Not Print option after choosing the Text Quality option.
- Print Quality settings apply to every print job until you
- change them again or quit WordPerfect.
-
- Note: If your graphics do not print completely on a laser
- printer, you may need additional memory. Graphic images take up a
- large amount of memory.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- You can use the Other option on the Format menu (Shift-F8) or
- the Layout pull-down menu to display the Printer Functions menu
- and insert special printer codes that turn on special effects your
- printer can produce. However, WordPerfect can provide most common
- printer features directly.
- To use special printing effects that WordPerfect does not
- support directly, you must insert a code that WordPerfect sends to
- your printer to tell it what to do. These codes are specific to
- each printer, so you must consult your printer manual for a list
- of the codes used.
- To issue a printer command, enter the ASCII code for the
- printing effect you want. You cannot enter ASCII codes less than
- 32 or greater than 126 directly from the keyboard, but instead
- must enter their decimal equivalents, enclosed in angle brackets.
- ASCII codes are case-sensitive: Uppercase A (ASCII code 065) is
- not the same as lowercase a (ASCII code 097), for example.
- You will not see printer commands on the screen, but they
- will be sent to the printer when you print your document.
-
- B)Example(B
-
- To enter the sequence Esc # for your printer, you do not
- enter the letters "esc" or press the Esc key. Instead, you enter
- the decimal ASCII equivalent of Esc, 27, enclosed in angle
- brackets and followed by the # symbol. To do this, you select the
- Command option as indicated in the key sequence and then enter
- <27># after the Cmnd: prompt. The format code entered for this
- printer command (visible only when you use Reveal Codes) will
- appear as [Cmnd:<27>#].

- Select Printer
- [highlight the name of the printer]
- Select
- F7
- Edit
- Name; Port; Sheet Feeder; Cartridges and Fonts;
- Initial Base Font; Path for Downloadable Fonts and
- Printer Command Files
- F7 (Exit) three times
-
- Note: The Forms option in version 5.0 is no longer on the
- Edit Printer menu. In version 5.1, these settings are on the Paper
- Size/Type option of the Page Format menu (see Paper Size/Type). If
- you are using version 5.0, this option indicates the location of
- the paper sizes and types you intend to use with the printer (see
- Forms).
-
- B)Usage--Establishing a Printer Definition(B
-
- After you have selected a new printer (see Printer, Select),
- you will see the Printer Helps and Hints screen, which contains
- information about the specific printer you are installing. Press
- F7 (Exit) to go to the next menu, where you can change the
- printer's name, specify which port it is connected to, select a
- sheet feeder, select forms, specify cartridges and fonts, set the
- default font that the printer is to use, and specify a path for
- downloadable fonts and printer command files.
- The Name option allows you to change the name that appears on
- the Select Printer: Edit menu. You can enter up to 36 characters
- for a new name.
- The Port option is used to indicate the port your printer is
- connected to. The default setting is LPT1, the first parallel
- printer port. If the printer whose definition you just chose is
- connected to another parallel port, select Port. You will see a
- menu listing LPT ports 1 through 3 and COM ports 1 through 4. If
- your printer is connected to a different port, select the Other
- option and specify the device name.
- When defining a printer that uses a serial port, you will see
- a screen indicating the baud rate, parity, number of stop bits,
- character length, and type of hardware handshaking (XON/XOFF) that
- your printer normally uses. If you are using different settings,
- select them and change them. See your printer manual to determine
- valid settings for your printer.
- Use the Sheet Feeder option if you are using a sheet feeder
- to feed paper into your printer. Select the sheet feeder that you
- are using; then choose the Select option. A Helps and Hints screen
- will appear after you have selected the sheet feeder, and the
- sheet feeder definition will be copied into the .PRS file that is
- being created for your printer definition.
- The Cartridges and Fonts option indicates the fonts and
- cartridges you plan to use with the printer (see Cartridges and
- Fonts). The Initial Base Font option indicates the current default
- font to be used with that printer. The font selected as the
- initial font will be used each time you start a new document. To
- override it, you can use the Initial Font option on the Document
- Format menu or change it through the Base Font option (see Base
- Font). The last option is used to indicate the path name for the
- subdirectory in which you are storing downloadable fonts or
- printer command files (see Cartridges and Fonts and Printer
- Command).
-
- B)Usage--Editing Printer Definitions(B
-
- The Edit and Copy options of the Print: Select Printer menu
- allow you to copy and then modify an existing printer definition.
- For example, you might want to set up the same physical printer
- with two different definitions under different names. The first
- definition might specify a different default font or sheet feeder
- from the second definition, and you could quickly choose either
- "printer" by selecting its name from the list of installed
- printers.
- You can also use the Select Printer option to delete a
- printer from the list of installed printers by choosing the Delete
- option. To get additional help about the specific printers you
- have installed, use the Help option. To get help with a sheet
- feeder, press Shift-F3 (Switch) when you are viewing the Printer
- Help screen.

- to select it, or select an option from the following menu:
-
- 1 Select; 2 Additional Printers; 3 Edit; 4 Copy; 5
- Delete; 6 Help; 7 Update:1
-
- Version 5.1 has added the last option, Update, to make
- updating your printer driver quicker. From time to time,
- WordPerfect issues new printer drivers with its interim releases.
- (To see the date of your release, press F3 from the editing screen
- and check the upper-right corner.) If you get a new release of
- WordPerfect, you may want to update your printer driver. To use
- this option, first delete the old .ALL files from your directory;
- then copy the new .ALL files from your new WordPerfect disk into
- your directory. You can then choose this option to update your
- printer driver.
-
- B)Usage--Viewing Installed Printers(B
-
- As you are selecting new printers, you may want to review the
- list of printers you have already installed (see Printer,
- Install). The List Printer Files option on the Additional Printers
- submenu allows you to view a list of the installed printers.
- WordPerfect keeps information about printer drivers in files with
- an .ALL extension. Once a printer file is created, its definition
- is kept in a file with a .PRS extension, which is what you see
- listed on this screen.

-
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- B)Usage--Other Print Options(B
-
- In version 5.0, if your printer supports type-through
- printing, you can also use the Print menu's Type Through feature
- to print as though your keyboard were a typewriter, either one
- character or one line at a time. In version 5.1, the Type Through
- option is no longer supported. (See Type Through (Version 5.0).)
- The View Document option lets you preview your document by
- pages to see how it will appear when printed. Headers, footers,
- notes, graphics, and page numbers will be displayed on the
- previewed pages. (See View Document.)
- The Initialize Printer option is used when you download soft
- fonts. When you choose this option, the fonts you have marked as
- present when the print job begins (using *) with the Cartridges
- and Fonts option are downloaded to the printer you have selected.
-
- B)Usage--Changing Print Options(B
-
- Before you print a document, you can temporarily modify the
- print options that control the printer used, the number of copies
- printed, the binding width, and the quality of text and graphics.
- To do this, select one of the options from the lower half of the
- Print menu:
-
- S - Select Printer
- B - Binding Offset (Binding Width)
- N - Number of Copies
- U - Multiple Copies Generated by
- G - Graphics Quality
- T - Text Quality
-
- Note: The Select Printer and Binding options are discussed
- separately (see Binding Offset, Printer Select), and the Graphics
- Quality and Text Quality options are discussed under Print
- Quality. The Multiple Copies Generated by option (Version 5.1) is
- discussed under Print Options.
- Use the Number of Copies option to specify the number of
- copies of a document to be printed while you work on other
- documents or begin a new one.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- To print a document that has been saved on disk, select the
- Document on Disk option from the Print menu, and enter the file
- name of the saved document. Press ─┘ to print the whole document,
- or enter the pages you want to print. In version 5.1, you can
- choose to print only the document summary by typing S instead of
- pressing ─┘, or you can type S, a comma, and selected page
- numbers to print a range of pages.
- In version 5.0, you cannot print a document on disk that you
- have saved with the Fast Save option unless you move the cursor to
- the end of the document before you save it, or retrieve it to the
- screen and print it with the Full Document option. Version 5.1
- will automatically run the cursor through a document that has been
- "fast-saved" so that you can print it from disk, but this process
- takes some time. You can turn off the Fast Save option by using
- the Setup menu. It is preset to off in version 5.0 and to on in
- version 5.1. (See Fast Save.)
- If the document you are printing from disk was formatted for
- another printer, you will be asked if you want to print the
- document anyway (Version 5.1). If you choose Yes, remember that
- formatting specific to the original printer may look different on
- the current printer.
- If you did not select a printer when you installed
- WordPerfect, you will need to do so when you print a document for
- the first time. WordPerfect saves the printer selection you have
- made for each document with that document. (In version 5.1, you
- can specify that retrieved documents be formatted for the printer
- that is currently selected.)
- To select a printer for a document, press Shift-F7 and choose
- the Select Printer option (see Printer, Select). When you select a
- different printer for a document, it is reformatted for that
- printer. To print a document formatted for a printer other than
- the one that is attached to your computer, select the printer you
- want the document to be formatted for. Then print it from disk
- (using the Document on Disk option on the Print menu or the Print
- option on the List Files screen) without retrieving it to the
- screen. This technique lets you get a hard copy of a document
- formatted for a printer that is not available--for example, if you
- are working at home with a dot-matrix printer but will print a
- final draft of your document on a laser printer at work.
- If the document you are retrieving has been formatted for a
- printer that you have not installed (for example, if you are
- exchanging files with other WordPerfect users), you will see a
- message indicating that WordPerfect cannot find that particular
- printer (.PRS) file. It will format the document for your default
- printer in that case.

-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect can output a document file to a new disk file
- rather than to your printer; this is known as printing to a disk.
- The new disk file created with this operation is essentially a DOS
- text (ASCII) file that also contains all of the printing control
- codes required to print it as it was formatted by WordPerfect. To
- save a file as a DOS text file without the formatting codes, use
- the Text In/Out key (Ctrl-F5).
- When you follow the key sequence, you can print the DOS text
- file from DOS without having a copy of WordPerfect running. This
- allows you to print WordPerfect documents on a printer attached to
- another computer that does not even have WordPerfect on it.
- As indicated in the key sequence, you need to select the
- printer name that represents the type of printer that will be used
- to print the file. Remember that the correct printer definition
- may differ from the one you use to print documents on the printer
- (or printers) attached to your computer. (See Printer, Edit.)
- After you specify the printer port, you will need to select
- the Other option and then type a file name under which the DOS
- text file version of your document will be stored (see Short/Long
- Document Names). If you do not specify a new path name,
- WordPerfect will save the document in the default directory. When
- naming the file, you can use the same file name and add the
- extension .TXT to differentiate it from the original document
- file.
- If you select the DOS Text printer definition, WordPerfect
- automatically saves the file under the name DOS.TXT.
- To obtain a hard copy of the DOS text file, you can use the
- DOS COPY or PRINT command. (Use COPY if you have temporarily
- exited from WordPerfect to DOS.)

-
- Alt-= or [click right mouse button]
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- With version 5.1, in addition to the standard function key
- interface, WordPerfect has a system of pull-down menus that appear
- when you press the Alt key or the right mouse button.
- When you are using pull-down menus, you can use both the
- keyboard and the mouse in any combination. To select an item from
- a menu, you can click on it with the left mouse button; you can
- type the highlighted mnemonic letter of its name; or you can type
- the number that corresponds to the position of the item in the
- menu. You can also press ─┘ when an item is highlighted to select
- it.
- If selecting an item brings up another pull-down menu, you
- will see a right-pointing arrowhead at the end of that item. To
- display the pull-down menu associated with that item, drag the
- mouse to the item and then release the mouse button or click on
- the item with the left mouse button. (See Mouse for instructions
- about using the mouse). If an item in a pull-down menu is in
- brackets, it cannot be selected; for example, you cannot copy or
- move text until you have marked a block of text.
- In pull-down menus, Home Left Arrow and Home Right Arrow move
- the highlight to the ends of the main menu bar; Home Up Arrow and
- Home Down Arrow (or PgUp and PgDn) move the highlight to the top
- and bottom of the menus.
- Because the items on the pull-down main menu bar are
- different from the names of the function keys, you will note that
- in this book an alternate selection is given at the beginning of
- each step sequence for pull-down menu users. The choices on the
- main pull-down menu bar are:
-
- File Edit Search Layout Mark Tools Font Graphics Help
-
- Once you have chosen from the pull-down menus, you will be in the
- regular WordPerfect screens. For example, to use the Line Format
- menu, you select Line from the Layout menu instead of pressing
- Shift-F8 and typing 1 or L. After you select Line, you will see
- the regular Line Format menu.
- To exit from the pull-down menus without selecting anything,
- press F1 (Cancel), Esc, or the Space bar, or click anywhere with
- the right mouse button. To exit all the way out of submenus to the
- editing screen, press F7 (Exit).
- You can use pull-down menus when you are recording a macro;
- the keystrokes will be recorded just as if you were using the
- keyboard. However, do not use the mouse to position the cursor
- when you are recording a macro.
- You can use the Setup menu to change how the pull-down menus
- are displayed on your screen to select whether the Alt key
- displays the pull-down menus, and to specify that the mouse
- pointer will automatically go to the menu bar whenever a menu
- appears (see Mouse).

- F7 (Exit)
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Redlining and strikeout are useful features for marking
- sections of text that have been altered so that others can review
- the changes quickly without having to check the entire document.
- To mark text for redlining (most printers do this by placing
- a vertical bar in the left margin), select the Redline option.
- When you have finished typing the text you wish to highlight,
- press the Right Arrow key to move beyond the second [redln] format
- code, or select Font and then Normal to turn off redlining.
- To redline text you have already typed, mark the text as a
- block before you turn on redlining (see Block Operations). The way
- WordPerfect represents redlining on the screen varies according to
- the type of monitor you are using, and it may not appear the same
- way in the printed document.
- To strike out existing text, mark the text as a block and
- then select the Strikeout option.
-
- B)Usage--Changing the Redlining Method(B
-
- You can choose Printer Dependent, Left, or Alternating as the
- method of redlining. If you choose Printer Dependent, redlining
- will appear as your printer has defined it; you can test-print a
- redlined paragraph to see how this appears. The Left option marks
- redlined text with a horizontal bar in the left margin. The
- Alternating option marks redlined text on even pages in the left
- margin and redlined text on odd pages in the right margin.
-
- B)Usage--Deleting Strikeouts and Redlining(B
-
- Before you issue the final version of a document, you will
- probably want to delete text that has been struck out and remove
- redlining marks. To do so, press Alt-F5 (Mark Text), choose the
- Generate option, and choose the Remove Redline Markings and
- Strikeout Text from Document option. When you type Y in response
- to the prompt, all text between the [STKOUT] and [stkout] codes
- will be deleted, and the Redline and Strikeout codes will be
- removed from the document.

-
- B)Key Sequence--Saving a Document(B
-
- F10 (Save) or File pull-down then Save
- Document to be saved: <file name> ─┘
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- To save a file you are working on and then return to it,
- press Save (F10). WordPerfect will prompt you for a file name if
- you have not saved the file before. Enter a name of up to eight
- characters with an optional three-character extension (include a
- directory and drive designation if you want to save the file
- somewhere other than the current drive and/or directory); then
- press ─┘.
- If you have saved the file previously, WordPerfect will
- provide its file name when you press Save. To save the file under
- the same name, press ─┘ and respond Y to the prompt
-
- Replace <file name>? No (Yes)
-
- to indicate that you do want to replace the original version of
- the file with the edited version you are now saving. The default
- setting is No, which allows you to leave the existing file intact
- and save the new version under another name. If you want to rename
- the file in order to keep two versions of a document, press ─┘ to
- accept the No setting. WordPerfect will allow you to enter a new
- file name. Enter the new name (including a drive and directory
- designation, if you do not want to use the current ones) or edit
- the existing name; then press ─┘.
- If you are using long document names (see Short/Long Document
- Names), you will be prompted for a long document name as well as a
- document type when you save the document. You can enter up to 68
- characters, including spaces, for the name and up to 20 characters
- for the type. If the document has been previously saved, you can
- save it under the same name by pressing ─┘ and choosing Y when
- you are prompted to confirm the replacement. WordPerfect will then
- show you its version of the DOS file name, abbreviated to eight
- characters (the type will be indicated by a three-character
- extension). If you have previously saved the document without
- using a long document name, that version of its name will be shown
- as the DOS file name.
- You can save a document as DOS text (ASCII format), in
- generic word processing format (all codes removed except tabs), or
- in WordPerfect 4.2 format (or 5.0 format if you are using version
- 5.1) by using the Text In/Out menu (Ctrl-F5, or select Text Out
- from the File menu).
- WordPerfect 5.1 is preset to use the Fast Save option on the
- Setup menu, which means that it saves a document without
- formatting it first. This can save you time as you save documents,
- but it can slow down printing time (see Fast Save).
- To cancel a save sequence, use the Cancel key (F1).

-
- Shift-F2 (Search) or F2 Up Arrow or Search
- pull-down then Backward
- <- Srch: <search text or function keys>
- F2 (Search)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- When you select Forward Search, the prompt "-> Srch:" appears
- at the bottom of your screen. The rightward direction of the arrow
- indicates that WordPerfect will search for your string of
- characters from the cursor's present position to the end of the
- document. After you have entered the search string, press F2 or
- Esc to carry out the search.
- To start a search by using the mouse, select Forward,
- Backward, Next, or Previous from the Search menu. Enter the search
- string; then press the right mouse button. The Next and Previous
- options will search for the next occurrence of the last search
- string below the cursor (Next) and above it (Previous).
- You can include up to 59 characters in the search string.
- WordPerfect ignores case (capitalization) differences in a search
- as long as the search string is entered in all lowercase letters.
- To make a search case-sensitive, enter it using the appropriate
- capital letters. If you enter characters in uppercase, WordPerfect
- will search for those characters only as capital letters.
- If WordPerfect does not find a match for your search string,
- it will display the message "* Not Found *", and the cursor will
- not move from its original position. In such a case, you can press
- F2 again and retype or edit the search string.
- After WordPerfect finds the first occurrence of your search
- string, you must repeat the Search command to locate any
- subsequent occurrences. To reissue the command without changing
- the search string, press F2 twice. To edit the search string
- before performing the search again, press F2 once, make your
- changes, and then press F2 again.
- For example, if you enter file list, WordPerfect will find
- all occurrences of File List, file list, file List, and File list.
- If you do not enter a space before "file" and after "list,"
- WordPerfect will also return any occurrences of the two words
- together within other words, such as "refile listings." To have
- WordPerfect search for an entire word by itself, enter a space
- before and after it.
- If you enter FILE LIST, WordPerfect will search for FILE LIST
- in uppercase letters only.
-
- B)Usage--Canceling a Search Operation(B
-
- To abort a search operation after entering the search string,
- press F1 (Cancel). To return to the place in your document where
- you were before you began a search operation, press Ctrl-Home (Go
- To) twice.
-
- B)Usage--Using Wild Cards in a Search(B
-
- You can substitute Ctrl-X for any character when searching
- for words or phrases in your documents. For example, a search for
- noCtrl-X returns now, not, nor, non, and so forth. It also returns
- words that contain now, not, nor, non, and so forth, such as
- nowadays, notable, nonapplicable, enormous, denoted, and
- anonymous. To enter the wild card (Ctrl-X), press Ctrl-V first.
- Also note that you cannot use Ctrl-X at the beginning of a search
- string. Using Ctrl-X as a wild card is useful if you do not
- remember the exact spelling of the word you wish to find. If you
- want to limit WordPerfect's search to complete words, you must
- enter spaces before and after the search string. However, note
- that this method will not locate words that have a punctuation
- mark immediately following them.
-
- B)Usage--Extended Searches(B
-
- When WordPerfect performs a standard search operation, it
- does not look for matches to your search string in any headers,
- footers, footnotes, endnotes, graphics box captions, or text boxes
- that you have added to the document. However, you can perform an
- extended search operation to include these elements. To do this,
- press Home before you press F2 to perform a forward search.
- With pull-down menus, choose Extended from the Search menu.
-
- B)Usage--Searching in Reverse(B
-
- You can instruct WordPerfect to search backward through your
- document to the beginning by pressing Shift-F2 instead of F2 (or
- by pressing Up Arrow when the Search prompt is displayed). When
- you press Shift-F2, WordPerfect responds with the prompt "<-
- Srch:".
- The leftward direction of the arrow shows you that
- WordPerfect will search from the cursor's present position toward
- the beginning of the document. After you enter your search string,
- press Search (F2) to initiate the reverse search, or click the
- right mouse button. To perform the reverse search operation to
- locate a previous occurrence, press Shift-F2. To change directions
- and perform a forward search using the same search string, press
- the Down Arrow key when the Search prompt is displayed. You can
- always change the direction of a search by pressing Down Arrow or
- Up Arrow when you see this prompt.
- You can also have WordPerfect perform an extended reverse
- search by pressing Home before you press Shift-F2 and enter your
- search string.
-
- B)Usage--Searching for Format Codes(B
-
- You can also use WordPerfect's Search feature to locate a
- particular formatting code. (This feature also works while you are
- using Reveal Codes; see Codes.) To indicate the code to be
- searched for, press the appropriate function key or key
- combination (including, if applicable, the number of the menu
- option) instead of typing an alphanumeric search string in
- response to the Search prompt. For instance, to perform a forward
- search to find the first occurrence of a hard page break, press F2
- and then press Ctrl- ─┘. In response, the program will display
- the format code as the search string "-> Srch: [HPg]". When the
- code is located, the cursor will be positioned immediately after
- it.
- You can also use this technique to find format codes that
- require the use of menu options (see Codes). For example, to
- search for a [Col On] code, press F2, then press Alt-F7
- (Math/Columns) and type C.
- If you press twice the key that generates a paired code, the
- Search function will locate the second formatting code of a pair,
- such as the [undrln] in [UNDRLN][undrln] or the [bold] in
- [BOLD][bold], so that, for example, you can replace an underlined
- word or phrase with a boldfaced version of that same word or
- phrase. If you perform a regular search for one of these paired
- codes, WordPerfect locates the first (uppercase) code. However, if
- you press the key for the code twice, the program will locate the
- second (lowercase) code, which allows you to locate the beginning
- of a bold word or phrase, mark it as a block, locate its end, and
- change it to another style or attribute, such as underline or
- italics.
- For example, to search for an [undrln] code, you press F2 and
- then press Underline (F8) twice. Press Left Arrow twice; then
- press Del to remove the [UNDRLN] code. (If you do not delete the
- first code, the program will locate only codes with no text
- between them.)

- To perform a search-and-replace operation, select Replace
- (Alt-F2) or choose Replace from the Search pull-down menu. For an
- extended replacement that includes headers, footers, endnotes,
- footnotes, graphics box captions, and text boxes, press Home
- before you press Alt-F2. WordPerfect then asks whether you want to
- confirm each replacement. If you enter Y, WordPerfect will ask you
- to confirm whether you want to make the replacement each time it
- finds the word or phrase you specified (the search string). If you
- press ─┘ to accept the No default selection, WordPerfect will
- replace each occurrence of the search string without prompting
- you.
- You are then prompted to enter the search string. Press F2
- after you enter it. WordPerfect will prompt you to enter the
- replacement string. You can enter text as well as the following
- formatting codes (see Codes) if you want them to be inserted in

- On/Off; Left-Right Indent; Margin Release; Math On/Off; Math
- Operators; Merge Code; Size; Soft Hyphen; Tab; Tab Align;
- Widow/Orphan On/Off
-
- If you do not enter a replacement, WordPerfect will delete
- all occurrences of the phrase or codes you are searching for.
- After you have entered the replacement string, press F2 or
- click the right mouse button to begin the search-and-replace
- operation.
- Press Cancel (F1) to end a search-and-replace operation.

- Long Document Names Yes; Default Document Type
- F7
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- In versions of WordPerfect prior to 5.1, you were restricted
- to the DOS naming conventions (eight characters plus an optional
- three-character extension) when naming files and directories. In
- WordPerfect 5.1, you can give a document a more descriptive name
- when you save or exit; this will be displayed when you have the
- Long Display option on in the List Files screen.
- To have WordPerfect prompt you to assign long document names,
- set the Long Document Names option to Yes in the Setup menu by
- using the key sequence outlined above. From then on, you will be
- prompted for a long document name as well as a document type (see
- below) when you save a document or exit. You can use up to 68
- characters, including spaces, for the document name and up to 20
- characters for the type. After you enter the name and type (or
- press ─┘ to accept what the prompt is showing), WordPerfect will
- show you the abbreviated DOS file name for the document; you can
- edit it if you like. If you have previously assigned the document
- a name using the normal DOS conventions (eight characters plus an
- optional three-character extension), this name will be shown at
- the prompt.
- The Default Document Type is also a new feature in
- WordPerfect 5.1. It allows you to group related documents
- together--such as memos, letters, or chapters of different books--
- by assigning them a type. The document type appears as a three-
- character extension of the DOS file name, but it is displayed in
- its entirety when you are viewing long document names in List
- Files. You can use the Setup menu to specify a Default Document
- Type; WordPerfect will then suggest the document type when you
- save the document using long document names.
- To retrieve a document by using its long document name, you
- must use the List Files screen. You cannot enter a long document
- name when the "Document to be retrieved:" prompt appears (by
- pressing Shift-F10 in the editing screen or choosing Retrieve from
- the File menu).
- To view long document names you have assigned if the List
- Files screen is not showing the long display, select the
- Short/Long Display option and choose Long Display. With Long
- Display on, WordPerfect must read part of each file in a
- directory, which can slow down the program, especially in a large
- directory.

- Perform Action; View; Keys; Select; Action; Order;
- Type
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect's Sort feature allows you to perform three kinds
- of sorting. Each kind calls for its own special formatting:
-
- ■ For a line sort, data is organized into columns and
- rows, as in a spreadsheet. Each row forms a record, and
- each column is separated by a tab.
- ■ For a paragraph sort, the data to be sorted is separated
- by two (or more) hard returns or a hard page break
- (Ctrl-─┘).
- ■ For a merge sort, the data is in a secondary merge file.
- Each field is terminated by a Merge R code (^B), and
- each record in the file is terminated by a Merge E code
- (^E).
-
- To sort a file by any of these three methods, select Ctrl-F9
- (Merge/Sort), or use the Tools pull-down menu, and then select the
- Sort option. You will then be prompted for the name of the input
- file to sort. If you press ─┘ to accept the default selection
- (Screen), WordPerfect will sort the file that's in RAM (on your
- screen). To sort a file that's on disk, enter the complete file
- name and press ─┘.
- You are then prompted to indicate where you want the sorted
- data output. WordPerfect will suggest (Screen) as the output
- destination. If you wish to save the data in a disk file, enter
- the file name.
- You can also mark a block of text and sort the items in it
- (see Block Operations).
-
- B)Usage--Selecting the Type of Sort(B
-
- Once you have specified the input and output files, you are
- presented with the Sort by Line screen. Sort by Line is the
- default sort type. To perform a different kind of sort, select the
- Type option unless your cursor is in a table (in version 5.1).
- When you do, you are presented with these options:
-
- Sorting Type: 1 Merge; 2 Line; 3 Paragraph: 0
-
- To select Merge Sort, enter 1 or M. To select Paragraph Sort,
- enter 3 or P.
- In WordPerfect 5.1, you can sort cells in a table (see
- Tables). If the cursor is in a table when you select Sort, you
- will see the Table Sort screen. It provides the same features as
- the other sort screens (defining sort order, defining sort keys,
- and so forth; see below), but allows you to sort by cell.
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Sort Order(B
-
- The default sorting order used by WordPerfect is ascending.
- To change the sort order, select the Order option from the Sort
- menu. When you do, you are presented with these options:
-
- Sorting Order: 1 Ascending; 2 Descending: 0
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Sort Keys(B
-
- To sort data in a file, you must designate the key(s), on
- which to sort it. WordPerfect lets you define up to nine keys for
- any one sorting operation.
- To define the sort key(s) to be used, select the Keys option
- from the Sort menu. You must then define the type of data that
- will be sorted (alphanumeric or numeric), indicate the field
- and/or word to be used as the key (fields and words are numbered
- beginning with 1 from left to right, with words separated by
- spaces), and specify the line number to be used (for a paragraph
- or merge sort).
- When you have defined the type of sort, the sort order, and
- the sort keys to be used, select Perform Action to sort your data.
- As soon as WordPerfect has sorted your data, the Sort window will
- disappear, and you will be returned to the full-screen document
- window.
-
- B)Usage--Selecting the Records to Be Sorted(B
-
- WordPerfect also allows you to set up conditions that select
- only certain records. To use the Select feature, you must first
- define the sort keys that you wish to use. Then choose the Select
- option from the Sort menu. Enter the condition that must be met,
- followed by the number of the key to which the condition is
- applied. When entering the condition, you type the appropriate
- logical operator after the key number, followed by a value. For
- example,
-
- Key1<=650.00*Key1>=2500.00
-
- specifies those records in which Key1 (an amount-due field) is
- between $650.00 and $2500.00. The asterisk (*) denotes the logical
- AND operator. The following table shows the symbols and logical
- operators used in sorting records.
-
- Symbols and Logical Operators Used in Sorting Records:
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- SYMBOL FUNCTION EXAMPLE
- = Equal to key1=IL
- <> Not equal to key1<>CA
- > Greater than key1>M
- < Less than key2<50.00
- >= Greater than or equal to key1>=74500
- <= Less than or equal to key2<=H
- * Logical AND key1=IL * key2<60600
- + Logical OR key1=IL + key3>1000.00
- g Global selection keyg=Mary
-
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- After you enter your selection condition, press Exit (F7) to
- return to the Sort menu. Select Perform Action to have WordPerfect
- select and sort your records.
- WordPerfect also lets you select records without sorting
- them. To do this, you still must define the necessary keys and
- enter the selection condition as previously described. However,
- before you select Perform Action, select the Action option. When
- you do this, WordPerfect presents these options:
-
- Action: 1 Select and Sort; 2 Select Only: 0
-
- Choose the Select Only option. When you choose the Perform Action
- option, WordPerfect will eliminate all records that do not meet
- the selection condition, although their arrangement will be
- unchanged from the order in which they were originally entered.
-
- B)Usage--Changing the Sorting Sequence (Version 5.0)(B
-
- To change the sorting sequence, press Ctrl-F9 and select Sort
- Order. You are then presented with these options:
-
- Sort Order: 1 US/European; 2 Scandinavian: 0
-
- To select the Scandinavian sorting sequence, which contains more
- than 26 letters, press 2 or S. To return to the US/European
- sorting sequence (the normal dictionary sort order for languages
- using the Roman alphabet without any foreign-language characters),
- press 1 or U.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- WordPerfect's Speller key (Ctrl-F2, or Spell on the Tools
- menu) allows you to check your documents for typographical errors
- and misspellings. In version 5.1, the Speller also checks for
- certain types of incorrect capitalization. Its main dictionary
- contains over 100,000 words, and it automatically creates a
- supplemental dictionary that contains all the words you add to the
- dictionary as you write.
- If you are using the Speller on a floppy disk system, you
- must first insert the Speller disk into drive B.
-
- Note: In version 5.1, you must have high-density floppy
- drives (720K or higher).
-
- You can choose whether to check the word the cursor is on,
- the current page, or the entire document. You can also check the
- spelling in text you have marked with Block (Alt-F4).
-
- B)Usage--Using the Speller(B
-
- When you use the Speller, WordPerfect checks your document
- for words it does not recognize. When it encounters one of these,
- it presents the message "Not Found" and displays a list of
- possible spellings (if it finds any near matches). You can simply
- press the letter corresponding to the correct word; WordPerfect
- inserts it into the document for you.
- The Speller ignores numbers, but it will query alphanumeric
- words, such as F3.
- WordPerfect's Speller also locates words that occur twice in
- a row and presents the following menu:
-
- Double word: 1 2 Skip; 3 Delete 2nd; 4 Edit; 5 Disable
- Double Word Checking
-
- You can choose Delete 2nd to delete the second occurrence, or you
- can leave the words in place (choose Skip). The Disable Double
- Word Checking option allows you to turn this feature off so that
- the program does not query you at double words.
-
- B)Usage--Checking a Word(B
-
- To check the spelling of the word the cursor is on, select
- Spell (press Ctrl-F2 or use the Tools pull-down menu) and select
- Word. If the cursor moves to the next word, the current word is
- spelled correctly. If the spelling is incorrect, WordPerfect will
- present a list of any possible alternatives. Press the letter
- corresponding to the word you wish to use or, if the correct
- alternative is not displayed, press Right Arrow to begin editing
- the word manually.
-
- B)Usage--Checking a Page(B
-
- To check for misspellings and typographical errors only on
- the page on which the cursor appears, use the Page option. You may
- want to do this if you have checked the entire document and then
- made corrections or additions to a certain page. (See Speller--
- Page and Document Options.)
-
- B)Usage--Checking a Document(B
-
- The Document option allows you to check your entire document,
- including headers, footers, footnotes, and endnotes. (See
- Speller--Page and Document Options.)
-
- B)Usage--Changing Dictionaries(B
-
- By selecting the New Sup. Dictionary option, you can specify
- that WordPerfect check a custom dictionary that you have created.
- To create a new supplemental dictionary, simply create a new
- document containing the words you want to include, each separated
- by a hard return. Make sure that the words are spelled correctly.
- When you save the document, you should give it a name, such as
- LEGAL.SUP, that helps you remember it is a supplemental
- dictionary. Then enter that name when you are prompted for the
- name of a supplemental dictionary after selecting this option.
- To create custom main dictionaries, use the Speller Utility,
- a separate program that is available on the Speller/Thesaurus
- disk.
- You can specify the directory in which your dictionaries are
- stored by using the Location of Files option on the Setup menu.
-
- B)Usage--Looking Up an Alternative Spelling(B
-
- To look up alternative spellings of a word, select the Look
- Up option and type a word or word pattern at the prompt.
- WordPerfect then presents all the close combinations of that
- pattern it can find in its dictionaries.
- When you look up a word, you can use the question mark (?)
- and asterisk (*) wild-card characters in place of letters you are
- unsure of. The question mark stands for any one letter, and the
- asterisk represents a sequence of letters. For example, type
- rec??ve to see whether receive is spelled as "receive" or
- "recieve."
-
- B)Usage--Getting a Word Count(B
-
- To obtain a quick count of the number of words in a document,
- use the Count option of the Spell menu. This option works without
- spell-checking the document. A count is also given after each
- spell check.
-
- B)Usage--Checking Capitalization (Version 5.1)(B
-
- Version 5.1's Speller will also query you if it comes across
- a word whose first two letters are capitalized, such as YOu, or a
- word whose first letter is lowercase and second letter is
- capitalized, such as yOu. Choose Replace to have the second
- capitalized letter changed to lowercase, or choose Disable to
- disable case checking.
-
- B)Usage--Exiting from the Speller(B
-
- To exit from the Speller, press Cancel (F1). The program will
- present a count of the text it has checked up to that point. Save
- your document if you want the changes introduced with the Speller
- to be incorporated into the saved version.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Once you've selected the Page or Document option of the Spell
- menu, the standard menu you see when a word is being queried
- contains five options:
-
- 1 Skip Once; 2 Skip; 3 Add Word; 4 Edit; 5 Look Up; 6
- Ignore Numbers
-
- To use any other features of the Speller, see Speller--General.
-
- B)Usage--Skipping a Word(B
-
- If you select Skip Once, the Speller will query you the next
- time it locates the pattern in your document. Use Skip if you want
- to keep a certain spelling in this document but do not want to add
- it to the dictionary. You will not be queried on that spelling
- again during the current session with the Speller.
-
- B)Usage--Adding a Word(B
-
- To add a word that is being queried--such as a proper name
- or a specialized term--to the dictionary as you are correcting a
- document, select Add Word. WordPerfect will then add it to the
- supplemental dictionary that is automatically created as you use
- the Speller.
- You can also add words to the supplemental dictionary
- directly by retrieving the file WP{WP}EN.SUP and typing each word
- that you wish to add, separated by a hard return. Be sure to save
- the file under the same name after you have added words to it.
- (While you have the file on the screen, you can also correct any
- misspelled words that may have been inadvertently added to the
- supplemental dictionary.)
-
- B)Usage--Editing a Word(B
-
- If you choose Edit, you can edit the word that is presented
- or simply use the Right Arrow or Left Arrow key to move from that
- word to the part of the sentence or paragraph that you wish to
- edit. While you are working with the Speller, only the Right Arrow
- and Left Arrow keys, along with Backspace and Delete, are
- available as cursor-movement keys. You cannot use most of the
- other cursor-movement techniques, such as Go To (Ctrl-Home) or
- End. You can change from Insert to Typeover mode, however. After
- you have edited a word in your document, press Exit (F7) to return
- to the Speller.
-
- B)Usage--Looking Up a Word(B
-
- By selecting the Look Up option while you are checking a
- document, you can enter a word that you wish WordPerfect to look
- up. Type a word or word pattern at the prompt. WordPerfect then
- presents all of the close matches to the word that it can find in
- its dictionaries.
-
- B)Usage--Ignoring Numbers(B
-
- WordPerfect's Speller will stop and query alphanumeric
- combinations such as F1. If you want it to ignore words that
- contain numbers, select Ignore Numbers the first time it queries
- such a combination. (Use the Add option to add alphanumeric words
- you use frequently to the dictionary.)

- Spreadsheet
- Link Options
- Update on Retrieve No then F7 (Exit); Show Link
- Codes Yes then F7 (Exit); Update All Links
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect 5.1 allows you to import spreadsheet data from
- Lotus 1-2-3 (pre-3.0 versions) and PlanPerfect, WordPerfect
- Corporation's spreadsheet program. You can import an entire
- spreadsheet or a range of cells. In addition, you can create a
- link to a spreadsheet in your document as you update it in the
- spreadsheet program.
- When you are importing spreadsheets, you can press F5 and ─┘
- to see the List Files screen for the current directory, or you can
- edit the path name to view another directory, where you store the
- spreadsheet files. You can also use wild card characters to
- specify that you view only spreadsheet files. For example, editing
- the path name from C:\WP51\*.* to C:\WP51\*.WK1 will display only
- the Lotus 1-2-3 files that are in the WP51 directory in the List
- Files screen. Likewise, you can press F5 when you are specifying a
- range of cells to import to see any rnges you have defined in your
- spreadsheet. To enter an unnamed range, enter the cell address of
- the upper left corner of the block of cells you want to import,
- type a colon (:), and enter the cell address of the lower right
- corner of the block of cells--for example, A1:D10.
- You can choose whether you want the data imported as a table
- or as text. No matter which you choose, you will be able to edit
- the data once it is in WordPerfect. If you import it as a table,
- it can be edited like a WordPerfect table (see Tables). If you
- import it as text, the spreadsheet cells are separated by tabs and
- rows are separated by hard returns.
- If the spreadsheet extends beyond the right margin of the
- page size you are using, you will get a warning message. If you
- have imported the spreadsheet as a table, the cells that will not
- fit in the page are not displayed; if you have imported it as
- text, the cells are wrapped to the next line at the right margin.
- If this happens, you can print the page in Landscape mode
- (lengthwise on the page), change the right and left margin
- settings, or edit the data to break it into smaller tables.
- You can also import a spreadsheet into a graphics box (see
- Graphics) as long as it will fit on one page.
-
- B)Linking a Spreadsheet(B
-
- If you link a spreadsheet, changes that are made to it while
- it is in the spreadsheet program will be reflected in the linked
- data in your document. WordPerfect will automaticaly retrieve the
- linked data when you select Perform Link.
- Before you link a spreadsheet to a document, you can specify
- certain link options, as outlined in the step sequence above. The
- program is preset not to update a linked spreadsheet each time you
- retrieve the document; to have WordPerfect automatically update
- the linked spreadsheet when you retrieve the document, set this
- option to Yes. To update the links while you are working in
- WordPerfect, select the Update All Links option. When you do so,
- any changes that were made and saved in the linked spreadsheet
- after you retrieved the document will be updated.
- WordPerfect normally displays nonprinting Link: and Link End:
- codes at the points where a link begins and ends. You can set the
- Show Link Codes option to No to suppress this display.
- Although linked data can be edited in WordPerfect, you should
- not edit it until you are sure it is final form and will not need
- to be updated again. When you update a linked spreadsheet, you
- will lose any editing changes that you made to it previously. The
- linked spreadsheet data will be in the base font that is in effect
- in the document; you may, for example, want to change text
- attributes and sizes or use a different font for the data. Wait
- until you are sure that no further changes will be made to the
- spreadsheet.

- Off or ─┘ (if you defined ─┘ as Off)
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- You can set up styles for each element in your document and
- use the style instead of formatting text as you type. For example,
- you can use one style for quotations, and you can define other
- styles for each level of heading you are using in your documents.
- For instance, if you want all level-1 headings to be boldfaced and
- centered, you can define that style. Then, when you are typing a
- level-1 heading in your text, you can simply turn on the style
- instead of pressing F6 for bold and Shift-F6 for center. If you
- work with complex design elements, such as multicolumn formats and
- a variety of type styles, this feature can save you many
- keystrokes throughout a document.
- WordPerfect 5.1 comes with several predefined styles for a
- bibliography, two types of documents, a legal pleading, and right-
- justified paragraph numbers. You can use these styles, edit them
- for your own purposes, or create new styles.
-
- B)Usage--Style Types(B
-
- You can use two different types of styles in WordPerfect 5.0:
- paired and open. In version 5.1, you can also use an outline style
- that is used with paragraph and outline numbers; you can define a
- style for each level of numbering (see Outlining and Paragraph
- Numbering). In a paired style, the codes are turned on and then
- turned off at the end of the text element, such as turning off
- bold at the end of the heading or returning to normal size after a
- quotation in smaller type. Open styles are not turned off, so they
- are appropriate for setting the style of an entire document, such
- as margins, justification, line spacing, and so forth.
-
- B)Usage--Creating a Style(B
-
- To create a style:
-
- 1. Select the Style menu.
- 2. Select Create; then select Name.
- 3. Enter a descriptive name for the style, such as 1 head
- (for level-1 headings). You can use up to 11 characters.
- 4. To select whether the style is to be paired or open,
- select Type; then select Open or Paired.
- 5. To enter a description of the style you are creating,
- select Description; then enter a short description (up
- to 54 characters) of the style.
- 6. You can use both text and codes in a style. To indicate
- to WordPerfect which codes you want generated when you
- use this style, select Codes and press the appropriate
- keys to generate the codes. For example, if you want
- level-1 heads to be centered and boldfaced, press Center
- (Shift-F6) and Bold (F6). If you are defining a paired
- style, type the codes that are to be used when the style
- is turned on before the [Comment] on the screen. Move
- the cursor past the comment and then type the codes that
- you want WordPerfect to generate when the style is
- turned off after the [Comment]. For example, to insert
- boldfacing codes, press Bold (F6), to generate the
- [BOLD] code; then press Right Arrow to move past the
- [Comment]. Press F6 again to generate the [bold] code.
- If the style is being used to mark text--as for an index
- or table of contents heading, for example--press Block
- (Alt-F4) before the [Comment], move the cursor past the
- [Comment], and then press the appropriate keys to
- generate the correct Mark Text code. For example, to
- mark a heading for a level-1 table of contents entry,
- you would press Alt-F5, choose ToC, and enter 1 for
- level 1.
-
- Note: In WordPerfect 5.1, you can insert graphics in a style.
- Press Alt-F9 (Graphics) or choose Graphics from the pull-down
- menu; then select the type of graphics box you want to use--
- Figure, Table, User-Defined, Line, or Equation (see Graphics).
- Press Exit (F7) when you have defined the style.
-
- 7. If you are creating a paired style, you can assign it to
- the ─┘ key by choosing Enter and selecting an option
- for the way the ─┘ key is to function. You can choose
- to have the ─┘ key turn off the style, or you can have
- it turn the style on and then turn it off again. Press
- Exit (F7) to return to the Style menu.
-
- For a quick way to create a style in an existing document,
- mark as a block (Alt-F4) the codes that generate the style you
- want to define; then select Style and the Create option. When you
- select Codes, you will see that WordPerfect has created a paired
- style from the codes you have highlighted. You can then edit these
- codes. Be sure to name your new style so that you can remember
- what it does.
-
- B)Usage--Using Outline Styles (Version 5.1)(B
-
- In version 5.1, a new style type, Outline, has been added.
- Outline styles are used with outlining and paragraph numbering,
- which can have up to eight levels. By using the Outline styles
- feature, you can specify a style for each of these numbering
- levels.
- You can set up an outline style by using either the
- Date/Outline menu or the Styles menu. After you select Outline as
- the style type on the Styles:Edit menu, you will be asked to give
- the style a name and indicate a level (1 through 8). You will then
- be taken to the Outline Styles:Edit menu, which is the same menu
- that appears when you use the Date/Outline menu to define an
- outline style. You can then assign specific styles to each of the
- eight numbering levels, choosing whether they are to be paired or
- open, assigning the action of the Enter key, and specifying text
- and codes, just as you do for a "regular" style, as discussed
- below. After you have set up an outline style, WordPerfect will
- follow it when you use paragraph and outline numbering. You can
- change to different levels of outline styles by pressing Shift-Tab
- and Tab, just as you do with paragraph numbering (see Outlining
- and Paragraph Numbering).
-
- B)Usage--Editing a Style(B
-
- After you have created a style, you can use the Style menu's
- Edit option to edit it:
-
- 1. Select Style and highlight the style you want to change.
- 2. Choose Edit and edit the style.
- 3. Press Exit (F7) when you have finished editing the
- style.
-
- WordPerfect automatically changes the codes in your document
- to conform to the edited style after you have changed it.
- To delete a style, highlight it and select Delete; then type
- Y to confirm the deletion.
-
- B)Usage--Applying a Style(B
-
- To use an open style you have created, press Style (Alt-F8),
- use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the style, and select On.
- Then type the text that you want to appear in that style. When you
- apply an open style, it will affect the entire document from the
- cursor's position forward.
- If you are applying a paired style, press Style (Alt-F8), use
- the arrow keys to move the cursor to the style, then select On.
- When you reach the end of the text you want to have in that style,
- press Alt-F8 and select Off. Or, if you have assigned the Off or
- Off/On option to the ─┘ key, press ─┘ to turn off the style.
- If you are using a paired style, you can also block the text
- you want to apply the style to and then apply the style as
- described above. WordPerfect automatically inserts the Style On
- and Style Off codes around the blocked text.
-
- B)Usage--Saving and Retrieving Styles(B
-
- The styles you define for a document are saved with the
- document. You can save the styles as a separate document, however,
- so that you can apply them to several different documents without
- having to define styles in each one. To do this, choose Save from
- the Style menu and enter a name for the list of styles displayed
- onthe screen. Then, to retrieve those styles into another
- document, choose Retrieve from the Style menu and enter the name
- of the style list.
- If you retrieve a style list into a document that already has
- a list of styles, you will be prompted as to whether you want to
- replace the document's existing styles with the new ones that you
- are retrieving. Type N to retrieve only the styles that have
- different names from the ones in the current document, or type Y
- to replace the list on the screen with the list you are
- retrieving.

- or Layout pull-down then Align then Tab Align
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- Tab Align (Ctrl-F6) aligns text on or around a tab setting
- using the alignment character that is in effect. WordPerfect uses
- the period as the alignment character unless you specify another
- character or symbol. You can use the Tab Align command with any
- tab stop that is in effect.
- Characters that you type after pressing Tab Align are
- inserted to the left of the cursor, and the cursor remains
- stationary at the tab stop until you type the alignment character.
- To change the alignment character from the period to another
- character--for example, the colon (:)--follow these steps:
-
- 1. Press Format (Shift-F8) and choose the Other option.
- 2. Choose Decimal/Align Char and enter the character you
- want to use as the alignment character--in this case,
- the colon (:). Press ─┘, then press Exit (F7) to return
- to your document.
- 3. To then align your text on the colon, press the Tab key
- until you are only one tab stop away from where you want
- the text aligned.
- 4. Press Ctrl-F6. The cursor will advance to the next tab
- stop, and you will see this message at the bottom of the
- screen:
-
- Align Char = :
-
- As you type your text, it will be entered from right to left,
- just as it is when you use a right-justified or decimal tab. As
- soon as you type the alignment character--in this case, the
- colon--the "Align Char = :" message disappears, and any text you
- then type is entered from left to right as though you were using a
- left-justified tab. Pressing Tab again or pressing ─┘ leaves text
- aligned and simply moves the cursor.
- To return text that was aligned with the Tab Align command to
- the previous tab stop, access the Reveal Codes screen (Alt-F3) and
- delete the [Align] or [C/A/Flrt] formatting codes that surround
- the aligned text. If you press Backspace when the cursor is
- located on one of these codes, you will see a message asking you
- to confirm the deletion. If you wish to retain the current
- alignment, press ─┘. If you do not, type Y.

- B)Usage--General(B
-
- WordPerfect 5.1's Tables feature allows you to manipulate
- data in columns and rows easily. The automatic Math feature in the
- Tables allows you to apply formulas to the columns and rows, a
- useful feature for creating forms such as invoices and order
- sheets. The Tables feature is also valuable in documents that use
- reference aids, since you can also use most of WordPerfect's Mark
- Text features, such as footnotes and endnotes, index, and tables
- of contents (see Mark Text).
- A table can have as many as 32 columns and 765 rows. Once you
- have set up your basic table structure, you can begin entering
- data in the cells. Press F7 to remove the Table Edit menu and
- begin typing in cells. (To redisplay the menu, press Alt-F7, or
- choose Tables and Edit from the Layout pull-down menu.) While the
- cursor is in the table, the status line reflects the cell
- position. To move to the next cell in the same row, press Tab; to
- insert a tab indent in a cell, press Home and then Tab. (For other
- cursor-movement techniques in tables, see your reference manual.)
- You can also point and click with the mouse to move directly to a
- cell, or scroll a table to see a cell that is not displayed on the
- screen. As you enter characters within a cell, the cell will
- expand to hold what you are typing. All the cells across the row
- will expand by the same amount. To format individual cells or
- groups of cells, use the Format Cell option (see Tables--
- Formatting).
- WordPerfect considers a table to be a table graphics box and
- numbers it accordingly with its automatic list-numbering feature
- (see Lists). If you are using the Cross-Reference feature to
- create an automatic reference, remember that your table is
- actually a graphics box and select Graphics Box Number as the
- reference type (see Cross-Reference).
- To create a table from text that you have already typed, mark
- it as a block, press Alt-F7 and choose Tables (or choose Tables
- from the Layout menu); then select Create. Items that were
- separated by tabs will be in columns; lines that were separated by
- hard returns will be in rows.
- To delete a table, mark it as a block and press Delete or
- Backspace; then type Y in response to the "Delete Block?" prompt.
- To delete a table's structure but leave its text within the
- document, locate and delete the [Table Def] code that corresponds
- to the table.
- Note that you can import a spreadsheet or a range of data
- into a table without setting up a table structure first (see
- Spreadsheet).
-
- B)Usage--Editing Tables(B
-
- When you choose to edit a table, the program searches
- backward from the cursor to the nearest table and displays the
- table editing screen. You can also simply move the cursor to a
- location within the table you want to edit; then press Alt-F7 to
- display the table editing screen quickly. In the table editing
- screen, you will see the following menu:
-
- Ctrl-Arrows Column Widths; Ins Insert; Del Delete; Move
- Move/Copy; 1 Size; 2 Format; 3 Lines; 4 Header; 5 Math;
- 6 Options; 7 Join; 8 Split
-
- You can change column widths by pressing Ctrl and Right Arrow
- or Left Arrow while the cursor is within the column you want to
- widen or shorten. To add a row or column, press Ins and select
- Rows or Columns; this inserts a copy of the current row or column
- before the column or above the row where the cursor is. Pressing
- Delete and choosing Rows or Columns deletes the row or column
- where the cursor is, including any text that is in the cells. You
- can restore it with the F1 (Cancel) key. You can also use the Size
- option to change the number of rows and columns in the table. In
- addition, if you have an enhanced keyboard, you can add or delete
- rows in normal editing mode by pressing Ctrl-Delete or Ctrl-Ins.
- To move or copy a column or row, display the Table Edit menu,
- then press Ctrl-F4 (Move) when the cursor is in the column or row
- you want to work with or after you have blocked the cells you want
- to cut or copy. This feature works like the Move feature in the
- normal editing screen: you can choose to move or copy a row,
- column, or block; press ─┘ to retrieve it at its new location.
- The Size option allows you to add and delete rows and columns
- from the end of a table. After you select Size, you can choose
- either Rows or Columns. WordPerfect will display the number of
- rows (or columns) that are currently in the table. Add the number
- of rows (or columns) you want to add to the table to this number,
- then enter the total number. For example, if you want to add two
- rows to a five-row table, enter 7. To delete rows and columns,
- subtract the number you want to delete from the number that
- WordPerfect displays. Rows and columns at the end (bottom and
- right) of the table will be deleted, along with any text that is
- in them. Columns and rows that you delete with this option cannot
- be restored with the F1 (Cancel) key.
- Use the Lines option to determine the types of lines (also
- called rules or borders) that you want to have printed around the
- table. WordPerfect treats these lines as graphics, so if your
- printer cannot print graphics, your printed tables will not have
- lines. You will see the following menu:
-
- Lines: 1 Left; 2 Right; 3 Top; 4 Bottom; 5 Inside; 6
- Outside; 7 All; 8 Shade
-
- After you select the lines you want to change, you can choose from
- the following options:
-
- 1 None; 2 Single; 3 Double; 4 Dashed; 5 Dotted; 6 Thick;
- 7 Extra Thick
-
- The Shade option on the Lines menu allows you to turn shading
- on and off in the cell where the cursor is or in the group of
- cells you have highlighted. To set the percentage of shading, use
- Options (see below).
- If a table is too long to fit on one page, WordPerfect will
- carry it to the next page, breaking it at a row. You can use the
- Header feature on the Table Edit menu to repeat a row of
- information at the top of each page. You will not see this header
- displayed on subsequent pages unless you use the View Document
- option (see View Document). However, the status line will show an
- asterisk next to the cell location on the status line when the
- cursor is in a header row.
- To protect an area of a table from being broken between
- pages, mark as a block the rows that should not be broken and
- press Shift-F8 (Format), or choose Protect Block from the Edit
- menu, which turns on block protection (see Block Protect).
- WordPerfect assumes that the Math feature is on in tables. If
- you select Math, you can enter formulas and make calculations (see
- Using Math in Tables below).
- To specify how your table is to be displayed, select Options.
- You will then see a menu that lets you specify the exact spacing
- between text and lines and specify the percentage of gray shading
- to use when shading is turned on for a cell; the default is 10%.
- It also lets you choose whether negative numbers are to be
- displayed with a leading minus sign or in parentheses, as some
- financial applications use.
- In addition, you can choose how the table is positioned on
- the page by using the Position option. Normally, WordPerfect
- aligns the table with the left margin, but you can choose Right
- (to align it with the right margin), Center (to center it between
- the margins), Full (to adjust its width to fill the space between
- the margins), or Set Position (to enter an offset from the left
- margin). When WordPerfect first creates a table, all the columns
- are a fixed size, so that the table appears to occupy all the
- space between the margins, but as you adjust the size of columns
- by sizing them or entering text into them, you will see the table
- change in size. If you are using a Left position, the table will
- shrink toward the left margin as you decrease the size of a column
- in it.
- The Join and Split options let you join several cells that
- you have highlighted or split a cell into several rows or columns.
- If you join multiple cells, text that was in them will be
- separated with tabs to indicate where the column breaks were and
- hard returns where the rows were. If you split a cell, you will be
- prompted to choose whether you want to split it into rows or
- columns, and how many you want to have. Any text that is in a
- split cell will remain in the first cell after the split.
-
- B)Usage--Using Math in Tables(B
-
- If you have used WordPerfect's Math feature before, you will
- already be familiar with the Math feature that is found in Tables,
- although you may find it somewhat easier to use since all you have
- to do is specify formulas that are to operate on groups of cells.
- In addition to using the basic Math functions (add, subtract,
- multiply, and divide), once you have set up a formula in a cell,
- you can copy it into other cells.
- Formulas that you enter can reference any cell that is in the
- table, such as A4+B5*.065 (to calculate 6.5% sales tax on data in
- cells A4 and B5, for example), or they can simply be calculations
- that do not use any cell, such as 4*23.5. To enter a formula such
- as B1+B2 (which will add whatever you enter in cell B1 to whatever
- you enter in cell B2), move the cursor to the cell that you want
- to hold the formula, press Alt-F7 to bring up the table editing
- screen, choose Math, and then choose Formulas. You will see an
- "Enter/Formula:" prompt. Enter the formula, using the operators +,
- -, /, *, and = (you cannot use %; enter percentages as a decimal
- number). When you press ─┘, the formula will be entered into the
- cell. The formula will be shown at the bottom-left corner of the
- screen when the cursor is in the cell.
- You can enter data into cells that contain formulas. However,
- WordPerfect will not calculate the results of formulas in a table
- until you select Calculate from the Math menu, so the table on the
- screen may display erroneous results until you calculate it. Also,
- to be used correctly in calculations, text that is in cells must
- be numeric.
- Once you have set up a formula, you can copy it into other
- cells by using Copy Formula. You will then need to enter the cell
- address where you want to copy the formula. Select Cell and enter
- a cell address, or, if you want to copy the formula into several
- contiguous cells, select Down or Right and enter the number of
- times you want the formula copied. The formula will be copied
- relative to its new address; for example, if the original formula
- is A1+A2 and you copy it down two rows, the new formulas will be
- A2+A3 and A3+A4.
- If you add, move, or delete columns that are used in
- calculations, you will need to revise the formulas that involve
- them.
- The special operators +, =, and * can be used to create
- subtotals (+), totals (=), and grand totals (*). They work just as
- they do with the Math feature (see Math). In tables, however, you
- must enter these operators by selecting them from the menu after
- you select Math.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- You can mark a group of cells as a block and apply format
- changes to them, or you can format an individual cell or column.
- In addition, you can set row height for a row of cells. When you
- use the Format option on the table editing screen, you will see
- the following menu:
-
- 1 Cell; 2 Column; 3 Row Height
-
- B)Usage--Formatting Cells(B
-
- If you choose Cell, you can select from the following
- choices:
-
- Cell: 1 Type; 2 Attributes; 3 Justify; 4 Vertical
- Alignment; 5 Lock
-
- The first option, Type, allows you to specify whether a cell
- contains text or is numeric (the default). Numeric cells can be
- used in calculations, but if you have cells that contain
- information that will never be calculated, such as phone numbers,
- you can specify those cells as text.
- Attributes allows you to set size and appearance attributes
- for the cell or group of cells. However, you can boldface or
- underline information in a cell without using this option; move
- the cursor to the cell and press F6 (Bold) or F8 (Underline).
- Justify allows you to specify left, center, right, full, or
- decimal alignment for the text in the cell(s). Select Reset to
- return the alignment in the cell to whatever alignment is being
- used in the column.
- Vertical Alignment lets you specify Top, Bottom, or Center
- (the default) as the method for displaying text vertically in the
- cell. Any changes you make will not be apparent on the screen, but
- you will be able to see them in View Document or when you print
- the document.
- Lock lets you protect a cell's contents from being changed.
- Nothing can be entered into a locked cell once it has been locked.
- When the cursor is in a locked cell, its cell address is shown in
- brackets on the status line.
-
- B)Usage--Formatting Columns(B
-
- If you select Column on the Format menu, you will see these
- options:
-
- 1 Width; 2 Attributes; 3 Justify; 4 # Digits
-
- The first option, Width, lets you specify a column width.
- Normally, WordPerfect calculates the distance between the right
- and left margins and then divides that width by the number of
- columns you want in the table. This option overrides that setting.
- You can also change column widths without using the Tables Edit
- menu (but when it is displayed) by simply pressing Ctrl-Right
- Arrow or Ctrl-Left Arrow when the cursor is within the column
- whose width you want to change.
- Attributes lets you set size and appearance attributes for
- the column; Normal turns off any column attributes that you have
- set.
- Justify allows you to specify justification for the column.
- The choices are the same as for cells (see above).
- The last option, # Digits, lets you specify the number of
- decimal places that will be treated as significant in
- calculations. It does not limit the number of digits that can be
- entered in the cells in the column.
-
- B)Usage--Changing Row Height(B
-
- If you choose Row Height on the Format menu, you will see the
- following menu:
-
- Row Height--Single Line: 1 Fixed; 2 Auto; Multi-Line: 3
- Fixed; 4 Auto
-
- Normally, WordPerfect calculates the height of a row of cells
- automatically so that all the text that is in the cells will
- display and print properly. However, you can override this setting
- for either a single row of cells or several rows that you have
- first marked as a block. WordPerfect will convert whatever you
- enter to inches (the default unit of measurement), unless you have
- changed the default unit of measurement or unless you enter the
- number followed by an abbreviation indicating a different unit of
- measurement. If the text in a row will not fit in the fixed height
- you enter, it will not be displayed or printed, but it will still
- be there if you later change back to automatic row height or enter
- a row height that will accommodate the text. Use the Single Line
- settings for rows in which you want text to have only one line per
- cell; use Multi-Line for rows in which cells can contain more than
- one line of text.

-
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Tables of authorities are used in legal documents as lists of
- citations. Creating them involves essentially the same three steps
- as creating tables of contents: (1) marking the citations, (2)
- defining the style, and (3) generating the table.
- You can divide a table of authorities into 16 sections, such
- as statutes, regulations, treaties, and so forth. Within each
- section, WordPerfect sorts the authorities alphanumerically.
-
- B)Usage--Marking Citations(B
-
- To mark citations for inclusion in a table of authorities:
-
- 1. Move to the beginning of the document. You can press
- Search (F2) or Extended Search (Home F2) and specify the
- citation you wish to find in the document, or simply
- move to the first occurrence of the citation.
- 2. Mark the first occurrence of the citation in its full
- form by highlighting the entire citation.
- 3. Press Alt-F5 (Mark Text) and select ToA, or choose Table
- of Authorities from the Mark menu; then choose Mark
- Full.
- 4. The following prompt appears:
-
- ToA Section Number (Press Enter for Short Form Only):
-
- For the first occurrence of the citation, enter the
- number of the section in which you want the citation to
- be listed in the table of authorities. If this is not
- the first occurrence and you have already defined a
- short form, simply press ─┘ to have WordPerfect mark
- the citation and its section number for you.
- 5. For the first occurrence of the citation, WordPerfect
- presents you with an editing screen in which you can
- edit the full form of the citation. The text can be up
- to 30 lines long, and you can use different character
- styles (bold, italics, and so forth), different fonts,
- and formats such as indentation.
- 6. When you have edited the full form of the citation,
- press Exit (F7). WordPerfect then presents you with a
- suggested short form (the first 40 characters of the
- full form) on the prompt line. You can shorten the short
- form even further or accept the program's suggestion by
- simply pressing ─┘. The short form must be unique for
- each citation.
- 7. Search for the next occurrence of the citation by using
- Search (F2) to move directly to it, or press Home F2 to
- do an extended search through text, graphic boxes,
- footnotes, and endnotes.
- 8. When the program stops at the next occurrence of the
- citation, press Mark Text (Alt-F5) and select ToA Short
- Form. The program displays the short form you have
- defined. Press ─┘ to accept it and mark the citation in
- the document, or choose Table of Authorities from the
- Mark menu; then choose Mark Short. (If no text is
- blocked, the Mark Full option will be in brackets.)
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Style(B
-
- To define the style of a table of authorities:
-
- 1. Move the cursor to the location where you want the table
- of authorities to be generated, usually at the beginning
- of the document.
- 2. Press Ctrl-─┘ to insert a hard page break. Renumber the
- first text page as page 1 so that references will be
- accurate. Position the cursor on the new page and type
- the heading you want for the table, such as Table of
- Authorities; press ─┘ twice to move to a new line.
- 3. Define each section as you want it to be included in the
- table. Enter the section name (such as CASES or
- STATUTES). Press Alt-F6 (Flush Right) to align the
- heading Page: at the right margin, and enter "Page:".
- Press ─┘ to move to a new line to separate the heading
- from the entries that will be generated. Then press Mark
- Text (Alt-F5) and select Define, or choose Define from
- the Mark menu. Select Define Table of Authorities, enter
- the section number at the prompt, and press ─┘.
- 4. Select the style you wish to use in that section from
- the options that appear. You can choose whether to use
- dot leaders, allow underlining, or allow space between
- citations. Press ─┘ to return to the document.
- 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each section.
-
- If you don't start with a new page number between the
- definition of the table of authorities and the first text that has
- been marked for inclusion in the table, your page number
- references may not be accurate, and WordPerfect will warn you if
- it does not find a New Page Number code.
-
- B)Usage--Generating a Table of Authorities(B
-
- After you have marked text for your table of authorities and
- defined the style of the sections, you can generate the table
- itself, as shown in the key sequence.
- The table will be generated at the [Def Mark] code where you
- defined the document. If your computer does not have sufficient
- RAM to hold the entire table in memory, you may be asked to close
- the Doc 2 window (see Switch Document) so that WordPerfect can use
- more memory for generating the table.
- To delete a table of authorities, be sure to delete both the
- [Def Mark] code and the [End Def] code marking the end of the
- table. If WordPerfect finds a [Def Mark] code but no [End Def]
- code, it will continue to generate a table of authorities each
- time you generate your tables and lists.
-
- B)Usage--Editing a Table of Authorities(B
-
- To edit the full form of a citation in a table of authorities
- after you have generated the table, position the cursor to the
- right of the code for the full form in the Reveal Codes screen.
- Then select Define from the Mark Text menu (Alt-F5), and select
- Edit Table of Authorities Full Form. If you are using pull-down
- menus, select Table of Authorities from the Mark menu; then choose
- Edit Full.
- The citation will be displayed on the screen. After you have
- edited it, press Exit (F7). Then enter the section number to which
- this citation belongs and press ─┘.
- You must then generate a new table of authorities to update
- the changes you have made.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- Creating a table of contents consists of three basic steps:
- (1) marking the headings, (2) defining the style, and (3)
- generating the table.
-
- B)Usage--Marking Heading Levels(B
-
- You can mark up to five levels of headings to be included in
- a table of contents. For each heading you want included in the
- table of contents, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Press Alt-F4 to mark the heading as a block.
- 2. Press Mark Text (Alt-F5). If you are using pull-down
- menus, choose Table of Contents from the Mark menu. The
- following prompt appears:
-
- Mark for: 1 ToC; 2 List; 3 Index; 4 ToA: 0
-
- 3. Select the ToC option. The following prompt appears:
-
- ToC Level:
-
- 4. Enter the level of the heading (from 1 to 5).
- 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each item you want to
- include in the table of contents.
-
- WordPerfect inserts [Mark] and [End Mark] codes around each
- entry as you mark it. To remove the markings so that an item will
- not be included in the table of contents, delete the [Mark] code.
-
- B)Usage--Defining the Style(B
-
- When you define the style of a table of contents, WordPerfect
- creates the table at that point in your document. For this reason,
- go to the beginning of your document, press Ctrl-─┘ to create a
- new, blank page, and type any heading you may want for the
- contents page, such as Contents. Then press ─┘ to add space
- between the heading and the table entries that will be generated
- at that point.
- To define the format of the contents page (required before
- you can generate a table of contents):
-
- 1. Press Mark Text (Alt-F5) and select the Define option.
- If you are using pull-down menus, select Define from the
- Mark menu.
- 2. Select Define Table of Contents. The Table of Contents
- Definition screen appears.
- 3. Select Number of Levels and enter the number of heading
- levels you are using in the table of contents (1-5).
- 4. Select Display Last Level in Wrapped Format and type Y
- if you want the last level of entries to be wrapped on
- one line, rather than listed vertically. If you enter Y,
- WordPerfect displays the headings with the last level as
- one wrapped line and the headings and page numbers
- separated by semicolons. The default is No.
- 5. Select Page Numbering Position and enter a numbering
- style for each level. Choose option 1 or N to print
- headings only, with no page numbers. If you choose
- option 2 or 3 (or P or (), page numbers will occur next
- to headings, and with option 3 or (, they will be in
- parentheses. Options 4 and 5 (or F and L) place page
- numbers flush right, with or without dot leaders.
-
- B)Usage--Generating a Table of Contents(B
-
- After you have marked text for your table of contents,
- created a page for it, and defined its style, you can generate the
- table itself, as shown in the key sequence.
- The table will be generated at the [Def Mark] code where you
- defined the document. If your computer does not have sufficient
- RAM to hold the entire table in memory, you may be asked to close
- the Doc 2 window so that WordPerfect can use more of the memory
- for generating the table.
- To delete a table of contents, be sure to delete both the
- [Def Mark] code and the [End Def] code marking the end of the
- table. If WordPerfect finds a [Def Mark] code but no [End Def]
- code, it will continue to generate a table of contents each time
- you generate your tables and lists.
- If you edit your document so that page breaks change, be sure
- to generate a new table of contents. WordPerfect does not
- automatically update tables of contents as page changes occur.

-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- WordPerfect is preset with left-justified tabs every ½ inch
- up to position 8.5". To move to the next tab setting, use the Tab
- key.
- To set individual tabs, select Format, then Line. Select Tab
- Set, and the Tab Set menu will appear. To select a new tab stop,
- move the cursor to the position on the ruler line where you want
- the new tab and type L for a left-justified tab, R for a right-
- justified tab, C for a centered tab, D for a decimal tab, or .
- (period) for a dot-leader tab. You can indicate that dot leaders
- be used with left, right, or decimal tabs by moving the cursor to
- the L, R, or C tab that has already been set and typing a period.
- As you type, when you press Tab and the next tab has been set as a
- dot-leader tab, you will see the dot leaders appear on your
- screen.
- The following table illustrates the various types of tabs you
- can set.
-
- Types of Tabs:
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- TAB TYPE HOW SET EXAMPLE
- Left-justified L First Quarter
- ..................L............
- Right-justified R First Quarter
- ............R..................
- Centered C First Quarter
- ...............C...............
- Decimal D $1,256.00
- ............D..................
- Dot-leader left L Benefits...........Section 1.11
- L..................L...........
- Dot-leader right R Benefits...Section 1.11
- L.....................R........
- Dot leader decimal D Benefits......Section 1.11
- L......................D.......
-
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- You may use the spacebar or the Right Arrow key to position
- the cursor on the tab ruler line to see where these tabs appear in
- relation to your text. You can also type the number of the
- position where you want a tab and press ─┘. For example, to set a
- tab at the 6.3" mark, type 6.3 and press ─┘. In WordPerfect 5.1,
- you can determine whether tabs are relative to the left margin
- (the default) or an absolute distance from the left margin, as in
- WordPerfect 5.0. An absolute (or hard) tab will remain in the same
- position even when you change margin settings; the tab ruler shows
- it as a distance from the left edge of the page. In version 5.1,
- tabs are relative--that is, they remain in place relative to the
- left margin so that even when you change the left margin, a tab
- set as +1 remains one inch from the left margin. To change the
- type of tab from relative to absolute, select Type from the tab
- ruler menu; then choose Absolute. You can also enter hard tabs in
- version 5.1 in the following way:
-
- TO ENTER PRESS CODE
- Hard Left Home Tab [TAB]
- Hard Right Home Alt-F6 [RGT TAB]
- Hard Center Home Shift-F6 [CNTR TAB]
- Hard Decimal Ctrl-F6 [DEC TAB]
-
- To delete the existing tabs and set new ones, press Home Home
- Left Arrow to move to the beginning of the line; then press Ctrl-
- End to delete the existing tab settings. You do not need to delete
- old tab settings before you set new ones, however.
- To delete a single tab, move to the setting on the line; then
- press Backspace or Delete.
- To return to your document without setting tabs after you
- have displayed the Tab Set menu, press Cancel (F1).
-
- B)Usage--Setting Evenly Spaced Tabs(B
-
- You can also specify that WordPerfect set tabs in evenly
- spaced increments. To do so, select Line from the Format menu,
- then select Tab Set. Move the cursor to the beginning of the line,
- and press Ctrl-End to delete the existing tab settings. Then move
- the cursor to the first tab stop that you want to set and type L,
- R, C, or D to establish the style of the evenly spaced tabs you
- are setting (left, right, centered, or decimal). If you are using
- the default of left-justified tabs, you do not have to take this
- step.
- Next, type the number of the character position where you
- want tabs to start, type a comma, then type the increment by which
- you want them to be spaced. Finally, press Exit (F7) twice to
- return to the document.
- For example, to set decimal tabs every inch starting one inch
- from the left margin, you would type D at the 1" position, then
- type 1,1 and press ─┘.

- B)Key Sequence--Saving a DOS Text File(B
-
- Ctrl-F5 (Text In/Out)
- or File pull-down then Text Out
- DOS Text
- Save [Specify file name]
-
- B)Key Sequence--Saving a Document(B
-
- To save a document in generic, WordPerfect 5.0, or
- WordPerfect 4.2 format:
-
- Ctrl-F5 (Text In/Out) then Save As
- or File pull-down then Text out
- Generic; WordPefect 5.0; WordPerfect 4.2
- <file name> ─┘
-
- Note: The Text In/Out options are slightly different in
- WordPerfect 5.0. The Save As options are listed on the Text In/Out
- menu (Ctrl-F5) as Save Generic or Save WP 4.2. In addition, you
- can retrieve DOS text files from the List Files screen (F5) with
- Text In, which is no longer possible in version 5.1, as that
- option has been replaced by Short/Long Display.
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- The Text In/Out option allows you to bring DOS text files
- into WordPerfect, to save WordPerfect documents in DOS text file
- format, to assign password protection to files (see Locking a
- File), to save WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 files in earlier
- WordPerfect formats, to save WordPerfect documents in a generic
- word processor format, and to create document comments (see
- Document Comments). In version 5.1, a new option, Spreadsheet,
- allows you to import spreadsheet files by using this menu (see
- Spreadsheet).
-
- B)Usage--Importing and Exporting DOS Text Files(B
-
- To convert a document to DOS text file (ASCII) format within
- WordPerfect, use the DOS Text option on the Text In/Out menu
- (Ctrl-F5). If you are using pull-down menus, select Text Out from
- the File menu. When you select Save with the keyboard menu or DOS
- Text with the pull-down menu, you will be prompted for a file name
- for the DOS text file. In this format, most of the codes that
- WordPerfect uses to control formatting are removed. Some
- WordPerfect codes that control indenting, centering, paragraph
- numbering, and the Date function are converted to ASCII codes,
- however. All of your document except footnotes and endnotes will
- be converted.
- To retrieve a document that is in DOS text file format, use
- one of the Retrieve options on the Text In/Out menu instead of
- using the Retrieve command (Shift-F10). If you are using pull-down
- menus, select Text In from the File menu. You can choose whether
- carriage returns and line feeds in the DOS text document are
- converted to hard returns (CR/LF to [HRt]) in WordPerfect, so you
- get a line-for-line conversion (see Hard Return). If you are
- bringing in data or lines of programming code for which you want
- to use WordPerfect as a text editor, choose this option, which
- preserves the column and row format. You may also want to set your
- margins wider before you import the document to make sure that
- wide rows are kept intact. (For additional information if you are
- bringing in data from a database program to use in mail-merge
- operations, see Merge Operations; if you are bringing in data from
- a spreadsheet program such as Lotus 1-2-3, see Spreadsheet.)
- If you choose DOS Text (CR/LF to SRt), carriage returns and
- line feeds in the DOS text document are converted to soft returns
- when they occur in the hyphenation zone (see Hyphenation), so hard
- returns will not occur in the middle of a paragraph in the
- imported document. You should use this option for word-wrapped
- text. You may want to set your margins in WordPerfect as close as
- possible to those of the DOS text file so that the same line
- breaks occur.
- In WordPerfect 5.0, you can also use the Text In option on
- the List Files menu (F5) to retrieve DOS text files (see List
- Files). It is the same as the Retrieve (CR/LF to [HRt]) option on
- the Text In/Out menu.
-
- B)Usage--Converting to Other Formats(B
-
- If you are using pull-down menus in WordPerfect 5.1, the Text
- Out option allows you to save them as Generic (in generic word
- processing format), as WordPerfect 5.0 documents, or as
- WordPerfect 4.2 documents. If you are not using pull-down menus,
- choose Save As from the Text In/Out menu (Ctrl-F5) and then select
- the format you want. WordPerfect 5.0, of course, provides only the
- Generic and 4.2 options.
- In Generic word processing format, special WordPerfect format
- codes are not saved, but the overall text format is maintained.
- Footnotes and endnotes are not converted, however. In place of the
- codes that indicate centering, indenting, flush-right text, and
- soft returns, spaces are inserted, and <CR><LF> (carriage
- return, line feed) codes are inserted in place of hard returns.
- If you convert WordPerfect 5.0 or 5.1 documents to an earlier
- version of WordPerfect, be sure to use a different name from that
- of the current document so that you do not overwrite it.
- If you are converting 5.1 documents to 5.0 format, the codes
- for the features that are new in version 5.1 will be removed from
- the document.
- You can retrieve a document that was created in WordPerfect
- version 5.1 into WordPerfect version 5.0. Codes that version 5.0
- does not recognize will be shown as [Unknown].
- If you are converting 5.0 documents to 4.2 format, you should
- be aware that some 4.2 codes, such as font change codes, do not
- have equivalents in version 5.0. If you have such codes in your
- 5.0 document, you can use a special file called STANDARD.CRS to
- manually change the codes.

- Column
-
- B)Usage--General(B
-
- On a floppy disk system, you must first insert the Thesaurus
- disk into drive B.
-
- Note: WordPerfect 5.1 requires that each of your floppy disk
- drives be 720K or higher.
-
- Since WordPerfect normally looks for the Thesaurus on the
- default drive, this means you must also change the Thesaurus
- default drive to B by using the Setup menu. When you have finished
- using the Thesaurus, replace your data disk in drive B and save
- any changes. On a hard-disk system, the Thesaurus is installed in
- the default directory during the installation process, and no
- special instructions are needed.
- There are several ways to look up a word:
-
- ■ Move the cursor to the word in your document and press
- Thesaurus (Alt-F1).
- ■ If you are already in the Thesaurus, select View Doc,
- move the cursor to the word you want to look up, and
- press Thesaurus (Alt-F1).
- ■ If the word you want to look up is not displayed on the
- screen, press Alt-F1 (to start the Thesaurus), select
- Look Up Word, and then enter the word.
-
- While you are using the Thesaurus, you will see a few lines
- of your document at the top of the screen, along with three
- columns of alternatives, grouped into nouns, verbs, adjectives,
- and adverbs, as well as antonyms--words of opposite meaning. Any
- word preceded by a dot is a headword, which indicates that you can
- look up further references to that word by pressing the
- accompanying letter. At the bottom of the screen is a menu that
- allows you to replace words, view more of your document, and look
- up other words.
-
- B)Usage--Replacing a Word(B
-
- The Replace Word option allows you to replace the highlighted
- word in your document with any of the suggested words (with
- accompanying letters) that appear on the Thesaurus screen. You can
- move between the columns of words by using the Left Arrow and
- Right Arrow keys; the letters will follow the cursor, allowing you
- to select more words. The Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys as well as
- the PgUp and PgDn keys scroll the columns vertically. The Home
- Home Up Arrow and Home Home Down Arrow key combinations take you
- to the beginning and end of the Thesaurus entry.
- To view groups of related words, type the letter correspond-
- ing to any of the headwords (those with dots to their left).
-
- B)Usage--Viewing a Document(B
-
- The View Doc option allows you to return to view your
- document--for example, to get a better idea of the context in
- which the word was used. When you are in the document, you can use
- the cursor-movement keys to scroll through the text. After using
- View Doc, you can return to the Thesaurus screen you were viewing
- before by pressing Exit (F7), or you can press Alt-F1 again to
- look up another word in the Thesaurus.
-
- B)Usage--Looking Up a Word(B
-
- The Look Up Word option directs the Thesaurus to look up a
- word. WordPerfect will prompt you to enter the word you want to
- look up.
-
- B)Usage--Clearing a Column(B
-
- If your screen becomes cluttered with too many alternative
- words, you can use the Clear Column option to clear the column the
- cursor is in to make room for more synonyms of another headword.

- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect is preset for Insert mode, which means that
- characters you type are inserted on the screen, with existing
- characters being pushed to the right of the cursor. To use
- Typeover mode, in which characters you type replace the characters
- on the screen, press Ins. A "Typeover" message appears at the
- bottom of the screen when Typeover is on. To return to Insert
- mode, press Ins again.
- Pressing Tab in Typeover mode does not insert a tab, but
- simply moves the cursor to the next tab stop.
- To define a macro in which the typing mode changes, use
- WordPerfect's Forced Typeover mode (Home Ins) or Forced Insert
- mode (Home Home Ins). Otherwise, each time you execute the macro,
- WordPerfect will use the mode you were in when you recorded the
- macro.

- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect's Type Through feature (Version 5.0) allows you
- to use your keyboard as you would a typewriter. The text you type
- is not saved, however, but is sent directly to the printer, so you
- need to position the paper so that the printhead is on the first
- line to be printed.
- To use the Type Through feature, press Shift-F7 and choose
- Type Through. Then select By Line or By Character. Use the By Line
- option if you want the characters you type to be sent to the
- printer only when you press ─┘. Choose the By Character option if
- you want each character to go to the printer as it is typed;
- remember, however, that you cannot correct characters if you use
- this option.
- When you use Type Through, you are placed in a special Type
- Through screen. The line at the top of the screen displays the
- previously typed line. You cannot edit it, but if you press Move
- (Ctrl-F4) it will be copied to the bottom line, which can be
- edited. You can enter up to 200 characters per line; lines that
- are too wide to be displayed on the screen will move to the left
- as you type.
- While in Type Through mode, you can use the spacebar to move
- the cursor to the right. You can also use the arrow keys to move
- the cursor right or left, or use Home with the Right Arrow or Left
- Arrow key to move the cursor to the beginning or end of a line.
- Pressing Format (Shift-F8) allows you to insert printer command
- codes (see Printer Command). Press Exit (F7) or Cancel (F1) to

-
- To split the screen into two windows, select Window from the
- Screen key menu or the Edit pull-down menu. WordPerfect will
- prompt you for the number of lines of text you want to see in the
- current window. The screen can display up to 24 lines, so you can
- enter any combination that adds up to 24. For example, to see 12
- lines in each window, enter 12; to see 18 lines in one window and
- 6 in the other, enter 18.
- You can also use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to move the
- cursor to the position where you want the split to occur, and then
- press ─┘. The window will be split at the cursor position.
- To move back and forth between windows, press Switch (Shift-
- F3), or choose Switch Document from the Edit pull-down menu (see
- Switch Document). To remove the split screen and return to a full-
- screen display, press Ctrl-F3, select Window, and this time enter
- 0 or 24 as the number of lines you want displayed. The second
- document will still be in memory, and you can return to it at any
- time by pressing Switch (Shift-F3).
- You can view the same document in each of the two windows by
- retrieving it into both windows--for example, if you want to see
- the beginning and end of a long document at the same time. Both
- documents will have the same file name, however, so you will have
- to keep track of which version you want to have as the final saved

- F7 (Exit)
-
- B)Usage(B
-
- WordPerfect's Word/Letter Spacing option allows you to adjust
- the spacing between words and between letters within words. When
- you justify text, for example, you may want to adjust the amount
- of space that the program adds between words to make the line of
- text come out even with the right margin (see Justification).
- Letter spacing is normally used to add spaces between letters,
- creating a visual effect that is widely seen in company logos and
- on business cards, for example. In its opposite, called kerning,
- the amount of space between letters is reduced (see Kerning).
- Leading is the space between lines (see Leading).
- To change the word or letter spacing, select Format (or pull
- down the Layout menu) and select Other. Next, select Printer
- Functions, and choose Word Spacing/Letter Spacing from the menu
- that appears. You can then select a setting for word spacing,
- letter spacing, or both. Press F to see a figure illustrating this
- screen.
- The Normal setting sets spacing between words as well as
- letters to the amount recommended by the manufacturer of your
- printer. Optimal, which is the default, produces the setting that
- looks best according to the manufacturer of WordPerfect. The
- Optimal and Normal settings are often, but not always, the same.
- If you want to specify the amount of space to be used between
- words and letters, choose Percent of Optimal and enter a
- percentage. Percentages less than 100% reduce the amount of space,
- and percentages greater than 100% enlarge it. Normally, you will
- not want to change the default setting unless you want to create
- special typographic effects.
- If you want to adjust the spacing between words and letters
- in terms of pitch (characters per inch), use the Set Pitch option
- and enter the pitch you want to use. WordPerfect then calculates
- the correct Percent of Optimal setting needed to generate that
- pitch in the font you are currently using.
