WordPerfect® Lightning™ WordPerfect Lightning is a new Web-connected digital notebook that makes it easier than ever to capture, organize, and reuse ideas, information, and images. It helps you perform your most common tasks simpler and faster. Twenty years ago, in the early days of word processing, people started with a blank page. Today, in a pattern that has paralleled the growth of the Web, people spend most of their time consuming or reusing information, rather than creating it from scratch. They usually take ideas, information, and images from one place — the Web, e-mail, existing documents, or other sources — and use them somewhere else. The rise of this common workflow has revealed a gap between today's wordprocessing products — one that’s filled by WordPerfect Lightning. With a simple set of tools, WordPerfect Lightning gives you a fast, easy way to consume, capture, and reuse the information that's important to you. WordPerfect Lightning has four components: the Navigator, the Notes window, the Viewer, and the Connector. The Notes window: In an easy-to-use workspace, the Notes window lets you capture your ideas and reuse information from other sources. It gives you access to standard word-processing features, such as fonts and font styles, bullets and [ 16 ] Reviewer’s Guide numbering, text alignment, tables, and color. The Notes window even lets you insert graphics or pictures in your notes. Give it a try Creating a note 1 From the Start menu, click All Programs ` WordPerfect Office X4 ` Corel WordPerfect Lightning. 2 In the WordPerfect Lightning Start Panel, click Make a note. 3 In the Notes window, type some text. The text you type becomes the note title in the Navigator. The Viewer: The Viewer is a fast, lightweight file-viewing alternative for PDF, Microsoft Word (binary), WordPerfect, and image files. One of the many strengths of the Viewer is the versatility it gives you as a PDF reader. From the ability to see document information to the power to search the document, the Viewer is a quicker way to maximize everything that PDFs offer. And with clickable links and helpful, intuitive page rotation, you can replace Adobe® Reader® or other PDF-viewing programs with WordPerfect Lightning. The Viewer also offers simple ways to capture and reuse information. For example, you can drag image files from your desktop or Windows® Explorer into WordPerfect Lightning, where the files are organized as notes. You can then save the photo, allowing you to easily reuse it later in WordPerfect X4 or a WordPress blog. Give it a try Viewing documents with WordPerfect Lightning 1 In the WordPerfect Lightning Start Panel, click View a Document. 2 In the Open dialog box, double-click scanned.pdf from the Sample File folder on the Corel WordPerfect Office X4 Press Kit CD.

The snapshot note and text note are sent to WordPerfect X4 and open in the same document. The Connector: The Connector is Web-based software that provides tools for contact and calendar management, e-mail, and more. With nothing to install on your computer, you simply access it like any other Web site. WordPerfect Lightning lets you upload your notebook from the Navigator on [ 18 ] Reviewer’s Guide your desktop to the Connector online, where you can share up to 200 MB of notes and documents with other online users. Corel® Visual Intelligence™ Corel Visual Intelligence is business intelligence for the masses, letting you visualize and analyze complex data easier than ever.

In the past, when most people went about writing a letter or creating a simple or informal document, they often used a word processor. Today, however, almost everyone does that in e-mail. So when there’s more at stake — a critical document or something longer than a page or two — that’s when you need a tool that delivers results. That's when you need Corel WordPerfect Office X4. Renowned for its ease of use, Corel WordPerfect Office lets users get right to work, so they can get the job done. Many of the longtime features that distinguished Corel WordPerfect Office in the past have so impressed competing office suites that they decided to try to copy them!

Rather than force you to work a certain way, Corel WordPerfect Office X4 encourages you to work in whatever way suits you best by customizing your workspace. You can tailor menus, shortcut keys, and toolbars, and you can even export and share your customized workspace.
