        This sections covers many procedures that you will use often.
        These simple procedures are sort of the "bread and butter"
        of word processing. You will find these commands easy
        to follow. They will add a great deal to your word processing
        background. Although some of the commands are not
        powerful they do perform work that you will use many
        times in a day.


  √√√   TO START
        Be in the WordPerfect program. If screen is not clean
        press <F7> N  N.
        Status Line is displayed at bottom right corner of screen.
        You are now ready to use WordPerfect as a word processor.

        ▀ Let's Start by looking at the Help Key <F3>.

  √√√   THE HELP KEY  <F3>
        This Function key <F3> displays over 200 commands.
        (F Function keys and combinations of the  <Alt>,
        <Shift>, and <Ctrl> keys). Even with the large number of
        command-key information stored in the <F3> key they are
        easy to use.

  √√√   HOW TO USE THE <F3> COMMANDS
        Press the <F3> key.

        ▀   By pressing any letter you can get an alphabetical list
        of features for that letter:
        For example, if you press the letter F, the screen will
        display all the commands that start with F, and what they do,
        For example,

        File Management,  List Files... Use <F5> key

        When you need some help for the right
        key to do a job: for example, to center
        a Title or a sentence press the "C" key
        for centering. The Help key <F3> will
        tell you that you need to use the,
        <Shift+F6> Key

                                - 21 -





        This key combination, when used before you type,
        will automatically center your work as you type.

  √√√   WORDPERFECT 5.0 TEMPLATE
        When the Help key <F3> is pressed twice,
        the WordPerfect Template appears on the screen.

        The Template is a layout of 10 boxes that contain
        the Function keys <F1> to <F10>. The chart shows what
        the ten F-Function keys  do when used "alone", and
        what function they perform in combination with
        the <Ctrl>, <Shift> ,and <Alt> keys.

        Most computers have a small template
        made of cardboard that you put on your
        keyboard in front of your F Function
        keys, for easy reference.

        Press space bar or <Enter> key to clear screen.


  √√√   THE SHELL  <Ctrl+F1>
        The Shell is an important key because it allows you
        to leave the WordPerfect Program and "Go To DOS".
        There may be times when you are writing letters and
        find there is no room left on your disk.
        The solution here is to exit to DOS, like this:

        Press and Hold Down the <Ctrl> key then Press the <F1> key.
        The bottom of the screen will show:

          1 Go to DOS: 0
       Press 1 on your keyboard for "Go to DOS"
       This will exit you from WordPerfect.

       You can now use DOS commands: for example, to format a disk.

       Returning to WordPerfect
       Type the word "Exit" and press the <Enter> key.
       You will be returned to WordPerfect.


  √√√  QUICK CHECKING THE CONTENT OF A TEXT FILE
        How to Fast Check files!!
        You can save a lot of time when looking for a file and
        you are not quite sure of what it looks like. A lot
        of use should be made of the <F5>, list directory key.

  √√√   HOW TO EXAMINE A FILE
        Press the <F5> Function key twice to bring the directory
        of the disk onto the screen. Then move the highlighted bar
        over the name of a file. (Use the David2 file)

        To quickly see the file:
        Press the <Enter> Key for a quick look at the file.
        Then Press the <Enter> to leave file.
        If you want to retrieve the file press 1.
        Your program will appear on the screen.

       newsletter or menus like a restaurant menu.

       Company brochures are easily made with colors. WordPerfect
       is equipped to do Desktop Publishing like making company
       newsletters, brochures, and writing manuals.
       It is easy to create all of this with just a few Function
       keys. Of course, for color, you will need a color printer.


  √√√  THE BLOCK COMMAND   <ALT+F4>
       The Block command is used to highlight a word, sentence,
       or a whole page. By highlighting you isolate that
       part of the document from the main document.
       In this stage the "Blocked material" can easily be:

        ▀ Deleted, or moved to another location.
        ▀ Be assigned "attributes" like italics, bold lettering,
          or underlining.

        ▀ The letters of a word can be made larger, smaller, or as
          subscript letters. (A character below the line).
        ▀ Highlighting is not needed to make different colors.
