In high school, Margaret Levine Young was in a computer club before there
were high school computer clubs. She stayed in the field throughout college,
graduated from Yale, and went on to become one of the first PC managers in
the early 1980s at Columbia Pictures, where she rode the elevator with big
stars whose names she wouldn't dream of dropping here.
Since then, Margy has co-authored more than 25 computer books about the
topics of the Internet, UNIX, WordPerfect, Microsoft Access, and (stab from
the past) PC-File and Javelin, including Access 2003 All-in-One Desk Reference
For Dummies, Dummies 101: The Internet For Windows 98, UNIX For Dummies,
and WordPerfect for Linux For Dummies (all published by Wiley Publishing,
Inc.), Poor Richard's Building Online Communities (published by Top Floor
Publishing), and Windows XP: The Complete Reference and Internet: The
Complete Reference (published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill). Aside from explaining
computers to anyone who will listen, her other passion is her children,
along with music, Unitarian Universalism (www.uua.org), reading, and anything
to do with eating. She lives in Vermont (see www.gurus.com/margy for some scenery).
David C. Kay is a writer, engineer, artist, and naturalist, combining disparate
occupations with the same effectiveness as his favorite business establishment,
Acton Muffler, Brake, and Ice Cream (now defunct). Dave has written
or contributed to more than a dozen computer books, including various
editions of WordPerfect 11 For Dummies, Graphics File Formats, and The
Complete Reference, Millennium Edition.
Besides writing computer books, Dave consults and writes for high-tech
firms, and also teaches about wildlife and edible plants. For recreation, he
paints theatrical sets, makes strange blobs from molten glass, sings Gilbert
and Sullivan choruses in public, and hikes in whatever mountains he can get
to. He longs for the Rocky Mountains of Canada, pines for the fjords of New
Zealand, and dreams of tracking kiwis and hedgehogs in Wanaka. He feels
silly writing about himself in the third person like this and will stop now.
Richard Wagner is an experienced For Dummies author whose writings
span both technical and non-technical worlds. His tech books include
WordPerfect 11 For Dummies, XML All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies,
XSLT For Dummies, as well as 15 other computer books. He also invented and
architected the award-winning NetObjects ScriptBuilder software product.
In his non-tech life, Richard is author of Christianity For Dummies and
Christian Prayer For Dummies and editor of the Digitalwalk.com e-zine.

Introduction
If you thought that the purpose of word processing was to write, not to do
amazing things on a computer . . . If you ever secretly wondered who in the
world actually uses all those features advertised on the box your software
came in . . . If you’d rather create nice-looking, readable documents, not try to
use every possible feature in WordPerfect in 90 seconds flat . . . If you’re smart
enough to say, “Call me what you will — I just want to get some work done,
please!” . . . Congratulations — you’ve come to the right place.
How to Use This Book
This book is a reference book, so when some feature in WordPerfect has you
tying knots in your mouse cord, you can just look up what you want in the table of contents or the index.
If your brow is already furrowed from merely looking at the pictures of Word-
Perfect on the box, check out the early chapters first. These chapters are written
for beginners; they speak of mice and menus and similar basics. They help
you get used to the what, why, and how of giving commands to WordPerfect.
After you understand the basics, though, you don’t have to read the chapters in any sequence.
Conventions Used in This Book
We try to avoid conventions (too many long lines to the restroom). Mostly,
you find full, robust sentences, not cryptic abbreviations or other so-called
conventions. On the other hand, if we always used instructions such as
Move the mouse so that the mouse pointer covers the word Edit on the
menu bar and then press the left mouse button. A menu appears, containing
the word Cut. Move the mouse so that the mouse pointer covers the
word Cut. . .
you’d be comatose by Chapter 2, and this book would take on encyclopedic
dimensions. When we want you to choose a command from the menu bar and
then choose another command from the submenu that appears, we use this
cute little arrow: ➪. So, instead of the long drawn-out instructions just presented,
we write “Choose Edit➪Cut” instead.
We also use a few other conventions to make things more readable. When we
want you to type something, it appears in bold type. Internet addresses look
like this. When we suggest pressing two keys at the same time, such as
the Ctrl key and the C key, we use a plus sign, like this: Ctrl+C.
Foolish Assumptions
This section explains what we assume about you, our esteemed (and, thanks
to the joy of software, occasionally steamed) reader:
You use a PC with Windows and WordPerfect Office 12 installed.
You want to create text documents that look nice.
You know some basics of working in Microsoft Windows, probably
enough to at least browse the Web or check your e-mail.
If you’re lucky, you have a guru available — an expert, like one of those
infuriatingly clever 10-year-olds born with a computer cable for an
umbilical cord — for the really tough stuff.
You have a typical installation of WordPerfect Office 12. WordPerfect is
accommodating almost to a fault and lets itself be twisted and restructured
like a ball of Silly Putty. If buttons and things on your screen don’t
look like the buttons in the figures in this book or if your keyboard doesn’t
work as this book describes, be suspicious that someone got clever and
changed things. The differences might be small enough that you can figure
out what to do anyway. If not, go find the person who changed things and ask for help.
Although we assume that lucky readers have a computer guru at their disposal,
we also know that gurus can be hard to coax down from the top of the
mountain. So we teach you a few of the important guru-type tricks where it’s practical.
How This Book Is Organized
Unlike computer manuals, which often seem to be organized alphabetically
by height, this book is organized by what you may be trying to do. For example,
we don’t explain all the commands on the Edit menu in one chapter. Our
reasoning is that the Edit commands don’t necessarily have anything to do
with editing and that Edit is a foolish category because isn’t almost everything
you do in a word processor a sort of edit anyway? No, what this book
does is break things down into the following six useful categories.
Part I: Exploring the Essentials
Part I gets you up and running by showing you how to use the essential features
of WordPerfect. This part is the place to go for the basics of using
menus and toolbars to navigate your document and control WordPerfect. You
also explore how to create a document, edit it, check the spelling, and make
it come out of your printer.
Part II: Formatting Your Text
A few holdouts from the 1960s probably still love to create documents that
look like they were typed on an old manual typewriter — monospaced text
with double-spaced paragraphs. But we suspect that you’ve probably moved
into the 21st century and would like to create some snazzy-looking documents
that include fancy fonts, page numbers, and text styles. If so, check out
Part II. It’s all there.
Part III: Making Your Documents
Come Alive
In this era of digital cameras, scanners, and ink jet printers, creating a document
often involves more than just typing plain old text, no matter how nice
the font looks. Part III enables you to “get with the program” as you discover
how to make your documents come alive with pictures, tables, borders, and
other types of cool formatting.
Part IV: All The World’s a Page:
Going Beyond Your Desktop
WordPerfect is a popular software program, but you can’t be sure that everyone
who reads your document also has WordPerfect on their machine. Good
thing the folks at Corel realized that too, because they developed an arsenal
of tools you can use to get your documents in just the right format, whatever
the occasion. Part IV focuses on how to use WordPerfect to publish Web
pages, Adobe Acrobat (PDF) documents, and XML files. And, because most
everyone and their brother use Microsoft Office, you’ll discover how Word
Perfect can work “perfectly” with Microsoft Office documents.
Part V: More Stuff You Can Do
with Your Documents
Nestled in WordPerfect are some nifty features that allow you to manage and
work with multiple documents. Check out Part V to find out about these
capabilities. What’s more, if you ever wanted to put on a trench coat and do
some sleuthing, now’s your chance. This part also explores how to work with
reveal codes, WordPerfect’s secret coding language behind your documents.
Part VI: The Part of Tens
In honor of the decimal system, the Ten Commandments, and the fact that
humans have ten fingers, Part V is where we stick other useful stuff. We would
have made this part an appendix, but appendixes have no fingers and . . . look,
just check it out, okay?
