Microsoft Word compatibility
WordPerfect offers compatibility features geared towards those who are migrating to WordPerfect from Microsoft Word and those who need to exchange WordPerfect documents with Microsoft Word users. In this chapter: · Simulating the Microsoft Word workspace on page 31 · Sharing documents with Microsoft Word users on page 31
For additional topics, please see "Compatibility with Microsoft Word" in the WordPerfect Help.

Simulating the Microsoft Word workspace
If you recently switched from Microsoft Word to WordPerfect, you may not be familiar with the WordPerfect workspace. While there are many similarities between the two applications, you may find it easier to simulate the Microsoft Word workspace until you are accustomed to working in WordPerfect. What the Microsoft Word workspace does is position the WordPerfect features, including toolbars and menu items, where you would find the equivalent feature in Microsoft Word. It also applies Microsoft Word keyboard shortcuts to WordPerfect features, allowing you to quickly find the tools you need to create documents in WordPerfect.
If you prefer to work in the WordPerfect workspace, but you want to access the most common WordPerfect features using Microsoft Word buttons and icons, you can display the Microsoft Word toolbar. In addition, you can display the Microsoft Word Compatibility toolbar, which gives you immediate access to features, such as saving documents to Microsoft Word and publishing to PDF.
To work in the Microsoft Word workspace
1 Click Tools  Workspace manager. 2 Enable the Microsoft Word mode option.
To display the Microsoft Word toolbar in WordPerfect
1 Click View  Toolbars. 2 Enable one of the following check boxes:
· Microsoft Word 97 · Microsoft Word 2002
To display the Compatibility toolbar
1 Click View  Toolbars. 2 Enable the Compatibility check box.

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

Part two : WordPerfect

31

For example, to share a WordPerfect document with a Microsoft Word user, you must save the WordPerfect document as a Microsoft Word file. The saving process automatically converts the document to the Microsoft Word format.
In addition, if you receive a file created in Microsoft Word, all you need to do is open it in WordPerfect. The opening process automatically converts the file to the WordPerfect format. If you modify the same file and you want others to view the changes in Microsoft Word, then you need to save the file as a Microsoft Word file. You can specify that the default format when saving files is set to the Microsoft Word file format or you can choose to automatically save files in the same file format in which the file was opened. If you don't specify the Microsoft Word format when saving, the file is saved as a WordPerfect file by default.
You can also insert a Microsoft Word document into a WordPerfect document.
To save a WordPerfect document as a Microsoft Word document
1 Click File  Save as. 2 Choose the drive and folder where you want to save the file. 3 Type the filename in the Filename box. 4 Choose MS Word from the File type list box. 5 Click Save.
When you save a WordPerfect document as a Microsoft Word document, some of the formatting in the document may no longer display properly.
To open a Microsoft Word document
1 Click File  Open. 2 Choose the drive and folder where the Microsoft Word file is stored.
If you can't see the file, choose All files from the File type box. 3 Click the Microsoft Word file. 4 Click Open.
You can open documents created in Microsoft Word for MS-DOS versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5, Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0, and 7.0, and Microsoft Word 97, 2000, XP (2002), 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. You can also open Microsoft Word Open XML documents (.docx) and Microsoft Word Open XML Macro-enabled document (.docm). When you open a Microsoft Word document in WordPerfect, some information in the file may not be displayed in the same way after it is converted.
To automatically save Microsoft Word files opened in WordPerfect to the Microsoft Word format
1 Click Tools  Settings  Files. 2 On the Document page, choose a version of the MS Word format from the Default save file format list box.
To automatically save files to their original format
1 Click Tools  Settings  Files.

Document basics
You can create documents from scratch. You can also open existing documents -- even those created in another word processor. In this chapter: · Understanding the parts of a document on page 35 · Creating documents on page 36 · Opening documents on page 36
Understanding the parts of a document
A WordPerfect document consists of one or more of the following components.
Template A template is a preformatted document that can be used as a guide for creating a new document. Every document created in WordPerfect is based on either the default template or a project template. · When you open WordPerfect, the blank document you see is based on the default template. For information, see
Default template on page 41. · Project templates include fax cover sheets, memos, newsletters, and brochures. For information, see Project
templates on page 42.
Text Text can be typed directly into WordPerfect or imported from text editors or other word-processing applications. For information, see Text basics on page 45.
Graphics Graphics include shapes, drawings, pictures, and clipart. · A shape is any object created with WordPerfect drawing tools. · A drawing is created with Presentations menus and tools. · A picture is a bitmap, or graphic image, that has been imported into a WordPerfect document. Pictures can be
imported from storage media, photo-editing programs, or a scanner. · Clipart images are images that can be brought into Corel applications and used as they are or edited. For information, see Graphics on page 63.
Styles A style is a collection of formatting attributes applied to text (characters, paragraphs, or documents) or graphics. By formatting items with styles, you ensure consistent formatting throughout a document. Whenever you change the formatting in a style, you change the appearance of all items that use that style. For information, see Styles on page 75.

Part two : WordPerfect

35

Macros
Macros are used to automate application tasks. For example, you can use WordPerfect macros to set margins, select a font, or create a merge file.
For information, see Part Seven: Macros on page 269.

Creating documents
You can create a document in WordPerfect by using the default template, a blank document that includes formatting elements such as margin settings, tab settings, and toolbars.
WordPerfect also includes ready-made project templates that you can open and use to create a wide range of documents, including letters, fax cover sheets, calendars, and business cards.
You can create an eBook in the EPUB format.

To create a document by using the default template
· Click File  New.

You can also apply the default template to a new document by clicking the New blank document on the toolbar. For more information on the default template, see page 41.

button

To create a document by using a project template
· Click File  New from project. For more information on project templates, see page 42.

To create an eBook
1 Click File  New from project. 2 Click the Create new tab. 3 Choose [WordPerfect] from the list box.
If [WordPerfect] is not displayed in the list box, click Options, and click Refresh projects. 4 Choose eBook Publisher from the list. 5 Click Create.
For more information about creating eBooks, see Publishing eBooks on page 125.

Opening documents
You can open word-processing documents that were created in WordPerfect or in another application.
The advantage of opening -- rather than importing -- a document created in another application is that many of the formatting attributes in the original document (such as page size, margins, font properties, bullets, and underlining) are preserved.

36

Document basics

To open a document
1 Click File  Open.
You can also click the Open button on the toolbar. 2 Choose the drive and folder where the file is stored, and choose the file.
You can also type the full path and filename in the File name list box. 3 Click Open.
The document opens in a new document window, and a corresponding button is added to the application bar. You can have up to nine documents open within the application window.

PDF import
WordPerfect lets you import PDF files and scanned PDF files and then access and reuse the text and graphics content. For example, if you have a PDF file that was created by someone else, you can open it in WordPerfect and edit the contents.
When you import PDF files, the text formatting may appear different from that of the original PDF. You can alleviate most conversion issues if you are familiar with the two most common PDF document types: design documents and scanned documents.
Design documents
A design document is a PDF in which the layout is not necessarily based on flow -- for example, a magazine advertisement. Design documents are typically created with graphics or illustration software, such as CorelDRAW.
Text strings may be individual lines across sections on the page, as opposed to a long paragraph that flows down a page. In such cases, WordPerfect provides text flows for all text strings that were saved in the graphics application when the PDF was created. The text and formatting of graphic elements are also maintained.
Images are maintained in their original file formats, as is text that is embedded in images that are not vector based.
The layout in the imported PDF may be different from the layout in the original PDF, but you can still modify text strings and create a new document without having to copy or redesign all the elements.
Scanned documents
A scanned document is a document that is read with a scanner and saved as a graphic file, such as a JPEG. Scanned documents store all information as one large image file that is not vector based.
When you import a scanned document, WordPerfect uses OCR technology to scan the document and reconstruct text strings and images. The quality of the original scanned PDF that you import affects the accuracy of what is displayed in the WordPerfect document.
To import a PDF file
1 Click File  Open PDF. 2 Choose the drive and folder where the PDF document is stored. 3 Choose the file. 4 Click Open.
The Open PDF settings dialog box appears. If the PDF document is protected by a password, type the password in the Password box. If both permission and open passwords are applied, type the permission password in the Password box. 5 In the Page range area, enable one of the following options: · Full document · Pages (requires you to type a page range in the box) 6 Click Open. The PDF import dialog box appears.

Templates
A template is a preformatted document that can be used as a guide for creating a new document. Every document created in WordPerfect is based on either the default template or a project template. In this chapter: · Default template on page 41 · Project templates on page 42

Default template
When you open WordPerfect, the blank document you see is based on the default template--a special WordPerfect template (WPT) file that records various workspace settings.
Besides storing basic document settings (such as the default font and the default text and graphics styles), the default template also stores any customizations you make to the WordPerfect work area.
Choosing the default template You can choose a different default template.
You can also choose an additional objects template. This is a second default template that stores objects such as keyboards, menus, template macros, toolbars, and styles that you can use in addition to or in place of those in the default template. For example, a system administrator could use an additional objects template as a network template that would overwrite a user's default template.
Applying the current document style to the default template You can apply the style used in the current document to the default template.
Applying template settings across multiple instances You can choose to apply template changes across all instances of WordPerfect. This technique is especially useful for refreshing all open documents that are based on the same template.
Document, style, and compatibility settings typically affect all instances, whereas customization settings affect only the current instance (and subsequent instances). For details, please see the WordPerfect Help.

To choose a different default template
1 Click Tools  Settings. 2 Click Files. 3 Click the Template tab. 4 In the Default template folder box, click the Browse button. 5 Choose the drive and folder where the template is stored. 6 Click Select. 7 In the Default template box, click the Browse button. 8 Click the template you want to use as the default template.

1 Click File  Document  Current document style. 2 Enable the Use as default check box.
To apply template changes across multiple instances
1 Click Tools  Settings. 2 Click Files. 3 Click the Template tab. 4 Enable the Apply template changes to all WordPerfect windows check box.
You can apply both default-template and project-template changes across multiple instances.
Project templates
WordPerfect lets you create documents from project templates. A project template is a shell, or skeleton structure, that can consist of elements such as margins, styles, and graphics objects. You fill in the details and provide data to complete the project. WordPerfect provides an easy way to access and browse the rich collection of templates installed with the application. When you find the template you need, you can start a new document.

These are examples of project templates.

Modifying font settings
You can apply formatting to text to change the font and its attributes, such as style, size, and color.
You can also apply relative font sizes, which allows you to format text relative to the specified font size. Suppose you want to add a heading to a document that has a 12-point paragraph font. If you select the heading text and specify a large relative font size, the text displays proportionately larger than the 12-point font.
Using Corel® RealTime PreviewTM lets you view text fonts and sizes before you apply them. For example, you can view text as it will display in various fonts before choosing which is the most suitable.
WordPerfect lets you format text using recent font settings, including the font and its size. You can also change the default font and font size for the active document or for all documents.

To change the font

Page columns
You can use columns to divide text vertically on a page. You can use four types of columns in documents: newspaper, balanced newspaper, parallel, and parallel with block protect. You can add columns to documents to create newsletters, glossaries, scripts, or inventory lists. You can discontinue columns when they are complete. You can also delete columns and quickly move through columns. You can change the appearance of columns by inserting a vertical line between the columns. This creates a visual separation between the columns.
Newspaper columns Text in newspaper columns flows down the column to the bottom of a page or column break and starts again at the top of the next column.
Balanced newspaper columns Balanced newspaper columns are similar to regular newspaper columns, but each column is adjusted on the page so that all columns are equal in length.

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

This is an example of parallel columns.
Parallel columns with block protect Parallel columns with block protect keep each row of columns together. If a column in one row becomes so long that it moves across a page break, the entire row moves to the next page.

In this chapter: · Numbering pages on page 91 · Changing the appearance of page numbers on page 92 · Forcing, suppressing, and stopping page numbers on page 92
For additional topics, please see "Numbering the parts of a document" in the WordPerfect Help.
Numbering pages
WordPerfect allows you to insert page numbers in a document and to choose where to position page numbers on a page. When you begin page numbering, you can also specify which number to begin with. For example, you may want the first page of a document to be labeled page 3 instead of page 1.

These are examples of various page numbering options: (top left) no page number, (top right) page number in the bottom-right corner, (bottom left) page number at the bottom center, and (bottom right) page number in the top-right corner.
You can also insert secondary page numbers, which allow you to start a new page numbering scheme in a document. For example, suppose you are creating a document in WordPerfect, but in the middle of the document, you need to add maps that were not created in WordPerfect. The WordPerfect document is 10 pages, but the maps need to be added as pages 7 and 8. To accomplish this, you can start page numbering at 1 at the beginning of the document and insert a secondary page number, number 9, on the document's page 7. This would allow for the addition of the maps without disrupting the page numbering.
To insert page numbers
1 Click Format  Page  Numbering. 2 From the Position list box, choose a position for the page numbers. 3 From the Page numbering format list, choose a format for the page numbers.
To specify an alternate starting page
1 Click Format  Page  Numbering. 2 Click Set value. 3 In the Values dialog box, click the Page tab. 4 Type a new page number in the Set page number box. 5 Enable one of the following options:
· Always keep number the same -- ensures that the number remains the same when the document is edited

Part two : WordPerfect

91

· Let number change as pages are added or deleted -- lets the number change as the document is edited
When you merge a multiple-page form document, you can restart the page numbering for each merged record by enabling the Always keep number the same option.
To insert a secondary page number
1 Click Format  Page  Insert page number. 2 Choose Secondary page from the list. 3 Click Value/Adjust. 4 In the Values dialog box, click the Secondary tab. 5 Choose a numbering format from the Secondary page number method list box. 6 Type a value in the Set secondary page number box. 7 Click Insert.

Saving documents

By default, you can save documents in WordPerfect 6 and later format. This ensures cross-platform compatibility for documents saved in WordPerfect 6.x and later, and lets you save a document in an earlier version of WordPerfect. You can also save documents in formats other than WordPerfect, such as Microsoft Word.
You can save a single document, or you can save all documents in the current instance of WordPerfect. You can save a document to a new location. You can also save selected text or graphics in a new WordPerfect document.
You can specify a default file extension for documents you save. When you save a document for the first time, or when you use Save As to save with a different filename or to a different format, this extension is automatically added to the filename. File extensions identify the file type and are identified with a specific application.

Saving without metadata
When you save a document, it may contain information that you do not want others to see -- for example, the name of your computer or a document summary. This information is known as metadata, which is data used to identify, describe, and locate electronic resources on a network.
Metadata is used to enhance the editing, viewing, filing, and retrieving of electronic documents. It is important to keep this information stored in the original document, but you can avoid sharing the metadata with others by saving a version of the document without including the metadata.

Saving automatically
WordPerfect lets you create backup copies of documents. Creating backup copies helps prevent the loss of your work if you close a document before saving it, or if a power failure occurs.

Saving to multiple formats simultaneously WordPerfect lets you save a document to WPD, DOC, DOCX, PDF, and HTML5 at the same time.

Saving iteratively
When you save an iteration of a file, an updated version of the file is saved with a version number added to the filename. For example, if you saved the original file as Document. WPD and then save an iteration of the file, the latest version of the file is saved as Document 1.WPD. For each subsequent iterative save that you perform, the number added to the filename increases by 1, for example, Document 2.WPD and Document 3.WPD. Iterative saving is useful if you need to revert to an older version of a file, or simply to track your progress over time.

Reverting documents You can revert a document to its last saved state.

Recovering files from backup
If the application closes down unexpectedly during a session and you haven't saved your work, you can recover data from a backup file that contains the changes from the last time auto-backup ran. By default, the backup copy is stored in X:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Corel\WordPerfect\VN\Backup, where X represents the drive letter and . You can change the location where backup files are created. For more information, see To set timed document backups on page 106.
You can open the backup copy, which replaces the original file with the auto-backup file, or you can save the backup

Performing merges
When you merge documents, such as to create mass mailings, you combine a form document and a data source. The merge produces varying copies of the form document, each containing information from a specific record in the data source.
For information on performing merges, see the following topics: · Creating data for a merge on page 107 · Working with form documents for a merge on page 108 · Associating merge files on page 110 · Performing a merge on page 111 · Performing simplified merges on page 112
For additional topics, please see "Performing merges" in the WordPerfect Help.
Creating data for a merge
When you merge documents, you produce varying copies of a form document. Each copy contains specific information from a record in a data source, such as a data file, an address book, or keyboard input.
To use a WordPerfect data file as the data source, you can create either a data text file or a data table file. In both types of data files, information is organized into records and fields. For example, a record may include a name, address, telephone number, and other contact information. Each item within the record, such as name or address, is recognized as a field. It is recommended that you use no more than 512 fields per record.
When you create a data text file, each field is marked by the ENDFIELD code and each record by the ENDRECORD code.
When you create a data table file, fields and records are arranged in columns and rows. Each column contains a field. Each row contains a record.

This is an example of a data table file containing 1) records, 2) fields, and 3) field names.
You can retrieve data from other file formats to use as data files in WordPerfect. For example, you can retrieve and convert a database file, a spreadsheet file, an ODBC data source, or a text file. For information about converting files, see "Opening and previewing files" in the WordPerfect Help.
You can also use an address book as a merge data source. For information, see "Using address books in merges" in the WordPerfect Help.
When you create a data file, WordPerfect automatically inserts a Merge toolbar into the merge data file. For more information about the Merge toolbar, see "Using the Merge toolbar" in the WordPerfect Help.

Working with form documents for a merge
A form document provides the pattern and layout for a merged document. It can contain text, formatting, graphics, and merge commands. You create form documents the same way you create regular documents; however, you insert merge commands which are replaced by information from a data source during the merge. For more information about inserting merge commands, see "Using merge commands" in the WordPerfect Help.
At the top of the document window, WordPerfect inserts the Merge toolbar to give you greater control over a merge. For more information about the Merge toolbar, see "Using the Merge toolbar."
WordPerfect lets you create a form document that you can personalize during a keyboard merge. A keyboard merge lets you enter information into the form document each time you need to send it. For more information about the KEYBOARD command, see "Reference: List of merge programming commands" in the WordPerfect Help.

You also can create a form document for labels. For information on this procedure, please see "To create a form document for labels" in the WordPerfect Help.
If you do not want to create a new series of merged documents, you can send all of the merged data to a table. After you perform the merge, all of the merged output will be formatted into a single table with each column representing a field. For information on this procedure, please see "To create a table for a merge" in the WordPerfect Help.

Associating merge files
Before you can merge documents, you must link a data source filename to a form document. This is called associating a data source. You can associate a data source with a form document, or you can associate a form document with a data file, such as an ODBC data source. The association is always stored in the form document.
If the data source changes, you can associate a different data file. You can also go to an associated form document from its data file or to an associated data file from its form document.

To associate a data file with a form document
1 Open a data file. 2 On the Merge toolbar, click Go to form. 3 In the Associate dialog box, click one of the following:
· Select -- associates an existing form document · Create -- creates a new form document
The association is stored in the form document.

You can also

Performing a merge
When you merge documents, you combine a form document and a data source. WordPerfect provides a variety of output options for the merged documents. For example, you can save it to disk, print it, or add it to the active document.

This is an example of 1) a data source document, 2) a form document, and 3) merged documents.
You can perform a keyboard merge and add information at the time of the merge. When you perform the keyboard merge, WordPerfect pauses the merge as specified in the form document and waits for you to enter information from the keyboard.
You can create envelopes as you merge a form document (such as a letter), or you can create merged envelopes on their own. An envelope is created for each record selected in the data source. For more information about merging to envelopes, see "To merge to envelopes" in the WordPerfect Help.
You can also send each merged document as e-mail. For information, please see "To merge to e-mail" in the WordPerfect Help.
Please note that it is recommended that you use no more than 512 fields per record.

Working with PDF files
If you need to share files with others who do not have Corel WordPerfect Office installed on their computers, you can publish the files to PDF. This file format does not require the use of a particular operating system, so after downloading and installing Adobe Reader, any computer user can view, share, or print PDF files.
In this section, you'll find these topics: · Publishing to PDF on page 117 · Creating PDF forms on page 118 · Setting passwords for PDF files on page 124

Publishing to PDF
When you need to share files with others, you can publish them to PDF and preserve the typography, images, graphics, color, and formatting of the original file. In order to view the PDF file, the recipients of the file must have Adobe Reader or Corel WordPerfect Lightning installed on their computers.
You can also add file information, such as the author name or keywords, to the PDF file.
You can verify the compliance of a PDF file by creating a log file. The log file created for a PDF file contains details about what was done to the file to achieve compliance when the file was published. In addition, the log file lists all limitations and warnings.

To publish to PDF
1 Click File  Publish to PDF. 2 Choose the drive and folder where you want to save the file. 3 Type a filename in the File name box. 4 From the PDF style list box, choose one of the following options:
· Commercial printing (Largest file size) -- creates a high-quality PDF to send to a printer or digital copier · PDF/A-1b (Level B compliance) -- creates a standardized PDF file that ensures the long-term archiving of the
content. · Publishing online (Smallest file size) -- creates a PDF suitable for online viewing, such as a document to be
distributed by e-mail or displayed on the Web · Publishing online and printing -- creates a PDF suitable for viewing or printing on a laser or desktop printer 5 Click Save. If you do not want the PDF file to open automatically after it is saved, disable the Open PDF after saving check box.
If you publish to a PDF/A style, the document fonts are automatically embedded in the file. Some licensed fonts are meant to be viewed only in the original document, however, and you are prohibited from redistributing the font. Therefore, before publishing to the PDF/A style, you must make sure that you can redistribute the fonts. To view the licensing information and embedding restrictions for a font, you can use a tool such as the font properties extension tool that is available for free on the Microsoft Web site.

Creating PDF forms
You can create fillable PDF forms, which you can distribute to gather specific information from users. You can add form controls to a PDF form, such as text fields, check boxes, drop-down lists, list boxes, and radio buttons. The type of information that you're seeking dictates which form controls to use.
You can also add buttons that allow users to navigate, reset, and submit the form. You can also insert a customizable

118

Working with PDF files

button. To help users enter the information you're seeking, you can add a tooltip description that appears when the cursor is positioned over the form control.
You can define how data, especially numeric data, in a text field displays by using format masks. WordPerfect has a variety of pre-defined format masks for dates, times, percentages, and numbers. When you're compiling the information that you've gathered from PDF forms, using format masks ensures that all the data from a specific text field adheres to a format that you've chosen. For example, users could type a date in the PDF form in several ways -- using only numbers or a mixture of numbers and characters -- and the format mask automatically converts the data they've typed to the format you specified.
When you insert a form control in a document, it's attached to a location on a page by default. As you add or delete text before the form control, it remains in the same position on that page and moves with that page. However, you can change the position of a form control on a page.
You can attach a form control to a character in a line so that the form control moves just like any other character in the document. You can also attach a form control to a paragraph so it moves with the paragraph. As you add or delete text before the form control, it moves automatically with the character or paragraph. You can also specify an exact position for a form control within columns
You can use specific measurements to resize a form control. You can apply formatting to form-control text to change the font and its attributes, such as size, color, and alignment. You can also edit the border style and fill for a form control.
In addition, you can choose how the document text wraps around a form control. For example, you can wrap text around one or both sides of a form control.

To add text fields
1 Position the cursor where you want to insert the text field. 2 Click Insert  PDF form control, and click one of the following:
· Text field -- inserts a single-line text field · Multiline text field -- inserts a multiline text field

Setting passwords for PDF files
You can apply a password to a PDF file to control access to the file. You can add different types of passwords to a file. You can add an open password to secure a file and prevent someone from opening it. You can also add a permission password if you want to allow the file to be opened but you want to restrict access to other tasks, such as printing or editing. If you apply only an open password, recipients of the PDF file can both open and edit the file content. If you apply a permission password, you have more control over which actions are permitted.
To maximize the security of the PDF file, you can apply both types of passwords to a PDF file concurrently. If both passwords are applied, the recipient of the file can use either password to open the file for viewing in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. For example, if you want to allow someone to edit the file in Adobe Acrobat or print the document in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, recipients must use the permission password.

To add an open password to a PDF file

For additional topics, please see "Quattro Pro basics" in the Quattro Pro Help.
Starting Quattro Pro
Let's begin by starting Quattro Pro.
To start Quattro Pro
· On the Windows taskbar, click Start  WordPerfect Office  Quattro Pro.
Understanding the components of a notebook
Notebooks, spreadsheets, and their associated elements are the core of the Quattro Pro application. Notebooks provide a way to organize many spreadsheets within the same file. There are 18,000 spreadsheets in a notebook. Each spreadsheet consists of approximately 1,000,000 rows and 18,000 columns.
Spreadsheets A spreadsheet is an electronic ledger. It contains columns and rows in which you enter, arrange, calculate, and analyze data. In a spreadsheet, you can arrange and categorize data, perform simple math operations, and apply complex formulas. Once you enter your data in a spreadsheet, you can create a chart, add maps and graphics, or produce a report. The spreadsheet you see when Quattro Pro opens is one of thousands available in each notebook.

Objects sheet The last sheet of every notebook is the Objects sheet. The Objects sheet displays an icon for every chart in the

Part Three: Quattro Pro

131

notebook. This sheet also displays icons for custom dialog boxes you build. You can copy, rename, and print items in the Objects sheet. The Objects sheet property bar has buttons for creating, editing, and displaying charts and for building custom dialog boxes.
Project templates
Project templates let you create a new notebook based on a pre-designed project. Many of the Quattro Pro project templates provide a basic format and structure for common spreadsheets and data entry forms. You can also create your own project templates.
Values
A value is a number, date, formula, or the result of a formula. Quattro Pro automatically determines whether data is a value or a label. As you type your data in a cell, the READY indicator on the application bar changes to LABEL or VALUE, depending on the type of data you enter.
Labels
Labels contain alphanumeric data, such as titles, phone numbers, or addresses. Quattro Pro interprets and formats labels differently than it does values. Values are calculable; labels are not.
Formulas
Formulas are mathematical equations. Formulas usually refer to numbers in other cells in order to calculate a value, such as the difference between the values in two cells or the total of values in a column. You can use mathematical functions and numbers in formulas.
Functions
Spreadsheet functions are built-in formulas that automate many of the calculations you perform in a spreadsheet. For example, @AMAINT is a spreadsheet function that calculates the accumulated interest paid on a loan after a specified number of payments. All spreadsheet functions are preceded by an @ sign.
Macros
Macros are computer scripts that automate complex or repetitive command sequences. A macro is a sequence of commands that Quattro Pro runs automatically. Macros can perform keystrokes, mouse actions, and menu commands. You can use macros to automate tasks (such as printing a standard report), enter frequently used labels with a keystroke, or build complete applications to simplify Quattro Pro tasks for other users.

Working with toolbars
Toolbars give you quick access to the features you frequently use.
The following standard toolbars come with Quattro Pro: · Notebook -- provides tools for entering and editing data · Selection formatting -- provides tools for manipulating the current selection · Data manipulation -- provides tools for working with notebook cells and selections · Drawing tools -- provides tools for drawing or inserting objects in a graphics window, and for arranging objects
on a layer on top of the notebook

Formatting data

Numeric formats do not change cell values; they change only the way values display. Quattro Pro uses two types of numeric formats: number formats and date/time formats.
About number formats When you type numbers, Quattro Pro by default rounds off fractional numbers as necessary to fit in the cell. You can change the numeric format of a cell to accommodate, for example, scientific, currency, decimal, and percent formats. In addition, Quattro Pro lets you change the number of decimal places in a value.
About date/time formats Quattro Pro lets you format dates and times in a spreadsheet. For example, by default, Quattro Pro displays times in long form as HH:MM:SS (for example, 09:32:30), or in short form as HH:MM (for example, 09:32) when no seconds are specified, but you can change this format.

To change the number format of a cell
1 Select a cell. 2 Click Format  Selection properties. 3 Click the Numeric format tab. 4 Choose one of the following formats from the Numeric formats list:

Formulas

Formulas are mathematical equations that calculate a final value, such as the difference between two cells or the total of a column.
Using Quattro Pro, you can create math formulas.
You can also create text formulas. Text formulas are any formulas that have a textual result.
Quattro Pro also allows you to create logical formulas that evaluate true or false. For example, the result of the formula +C3<10 displays either 1 or 0 depending on the value of cell C3.
You can also create a formula by using the Formula ComposerTM.

To create a math formula
1 Type a plus sign (+) in a blank cell. 2 Type a formula. 3 Press Enter.
To view formula results as you enter the formula data, press F9.

To create a text formula
1 Type a plus sign (+) in a blank cell. 2 Type the formula using an ampersand (&) to combine text strings.
For example, +C4&"Review" enters the text in cell C4, and then the word Review. 3 Press Enter.
If you want to add a space between strings, type it inside the quotation marks. For example, +C4&" Review" enters the text in cell C4, a space, and then the word Review.

To create a formula that evaluates to true or false
1 Click a blank cell. 2 Type a formula using one of the logical operators. 3 Press Enter.
If the statement is true, a 1 displays in the cell. If the statement is false, a 0 displays.

To create a formula in the Formula Composer
1 Select a blank cell. 2 Click the Formula Composer button. 3 Enable one of the following options:
· Standard view -- displays all three panes (spreadsheet function description, outline, and argument) · Argument view -- displays the outline and argument panes · Outline view -- displays only the outline pane

4 Type a formula in the Expression box.
If an formula is incomplete or syntactically incorrect (for example, a spreadsheet function may be missing an argument), a red question mark icon in the outline alerts you to the error. Expressions that cannot be expanded, such as values, display a small yellow circle to their left.
You can expand and collapse selected parts of the formula outline by clicking Expand and Collapse .

170

Formulas

Functions
Instead of composing formulas, you can use spreadsheet functions. Spreadsheet functions are a set of standard builtin formulas used to simplify complex calculations.
Quattro Pro offers more than 500 built-in spreadsheet functions. These spreadsheet functions cover a range of calculations, including database, financial, engineering, and statistical calculations. A common spreadsheet function is @SUM, which adds the cell values you reference. For example, typing @SUM(A1..A4,B1) is equivalent to typing +A1+A2+A3+A4+B1.
For documentation on the available functions for Quattro Pro, please see the Quattro Pro Functions Help (qpfn.chm).
You can enter spreadsheet functions in a cell. As you type a function, the most likely function and its syntax appear at the bottom right of the screen. The function's arguments will appear on the application bar.
Spreadsheet functions can also be used to create formulas. In a formula, the left parenthesis is red until you type the right parenthesis. Then, they both turn green.
To enter a spreadsheet function in a cell
1 Select a cell. 2 Click Insert  Insert function. 3 Choose a category from the Function category list. 4 Choose a spreadsheet function from the Function list. 5 Click Next. 6 Type the arguments of the function in the relevant boxes; optional arguments appear within angled brackets (<>).
All spreadsheet functions begin with the at sign (@). When typing a spreadsheet function, you can omit the @ if it is not the first item in the formula. Enclose arguments in parentheses.
To create a formula by using a spreadsheet function
1 Select a cell. 2 Click Insert  Insert function. 3 Choose a category from the Function category list. 4 Choose a spreadsheet function from the Function list. 5 Click Next. 6 In the Expression box, type the rest of the formula.
The pane on the left shows a breakdown of the formula. To identify a missing parenthesis or bracket, double-click the cell, and move the insertion point through the formula. When you reach an unmatched parenthesis or bracket, the character turns red.

Charts
Quattro Pro lets you present data graphically by plotting it in a chart.
In this chapter: · Understanding charts on page 173 · Creating charts automatically on page 174 · Adding titles to charts on page 174 · Adding linked data to charts on page 174
For additional topics, please see "Presenting spreadsheet data in a chart" in the Quattro Pro Help.
Understanding charts
You can create the following chart types: area (2D and 3D), bar (2D and 3D), bubble, Gantt, high/low, histogram, line (2D and 3D), mixed, pie (2D and 3D), polar, radar, scatter (2D and 3D), spectral, and surface (2D and 3D).
Plotting chart data
How Quattro Pro plots data depends on the range and values of the cells you select before you create the chart.
When a selection contains more rows than columns or an equal number of rows and columns: · Quattro Pro plots each column as a single series. · If the first column contains labels, the labels are placed along the x-axis. · If the first row contains labels, the labels are used as the chart legend.
When a selection contains more columns than rows: · Quattro Pro plots each row as a single series. · If the first row contains labels, the labels are placed along the x-axis. · If the first column contains labels, the labels are used as the chart legend.
Setting up chart axes
All charts except pie and doughnut charts have two references for plotting data: the x-axis and the y-axis. The x-axis is a horizontal line at the bottom of the chart pane with fixed reference points; the column labels in your data series are used for x-axis labels to explain what each data series represents. Y-axis labels show the values being represented. Depending on the data series, Quattro Pro determines the range and increment amounts of the y-axis.
There are a few exceptions to this format: · Horizontal charts have a vertical x-axis and a horizontal y-axis. Quattro Pro reverses the axes of horizontal charts
automatically. · In XY charts (scatter diagrams), the x-axis series is data, not labels. Quattro Pro scales the x-axis to match the data. · If the chart is a 2D bar, line, or area chart, you can assign any series to a secondary y-axis, which appears on the
right side of the chart.

To work in the Microsoft PowerPoint workspace
1 In Presentation slide show mode, click Tools  Workspace manager. 2 Enable the PowerPoint mode option.

Sharing files with Microsoft PowerPoint users
You can share your Presentations slide shows with Microsoft PowerPoint users and they can share their files with you. To share a Presentations slide show, you must save it as a PowerPoint file. The saving process automatically converts the slide show to the PowerPoint format.
If you receive a PowerPoint file, all you need to do is open it in Presentations. The opening process automatically converts the file to the Presentations format. If you modify the file and you want others to view the changes in PowerPoint, then you need to save the file as a PowerPoint presentation. If you don't specify the PowerPoint format when saving, the file is saved as a Presentations slide show by default.

To open a Microsoft PowerPoint with Presentations
1 Click File  Open. 2 Choose the drive and folder where the PowerPoint file is stored.
If you can't see the file, choose All files from the File type box. 3 Click the PowerPoint file. 4 Click Open.

Understanding masters
Presentations provides a selection of masters to work with in the Master Gallery. Each master is a set of professionally designed slide layouts and backgrounds that include preset objects, such as titles, bulleted lists, and charts.

This is an example of the Master Gallery.

Layouts
A layout is a slide with preset placeholders for objects such as titles, subtitles, bulleted lists, text, data charts, and organization charts. Each layout has a page format and color scheme that is consistent with the other layouts and backgrounds that are part of a master.
You can apply preset layouts from the Layout Gallery. Choosing a preset layout allows you to concentrate on the content of the slide show, rather than on the format.
The preset layouts included in Presentations are listed in the following table.

See also "Working with graphics and pictures" in the Presentations Help.

Understanding graphics formats
The two main types of computer graphics are vector graphics and bitmaps.
Vector graphics
Vector graphics are made of lines and curves, and they are generated from mathematical descriptions that determine the position, length, and direction in which lines are drawn.
Vector graphics are ideal for logos and illustrations because they are resolution-independent and can be scaled to any size, or printed and displayed at any resolution, without losing detail and quality. In addition, you can produce sharp and crisp outlines with vector graphics.
Bitmaps
Bitmaps, also known as raster graphics, are composed of tiny squares called pixels. Each pixel is mapped to a location in an image and has numerical color values.
Bitmaps are excellent for photographs and digital paintings because they reproduce color gradations well. Bitmaps are resolution-dependent -- that is, they represent a fixed number of pixels. While they look good at their actual size, they can appear jagged or lose image quality when scaled, or when displayed or printed at a resolution higher than their original resolution.
For help working with bitmaps, see Bitmaps on page 219.

Inserting graphics
Vector graphics, such as CorelDRAW (CDR) files, are ideal for use in slide shows.
You can, however, add bitmaps in formats such as Windows bitmap (BMP) or TIFF to slide shows. For best results: · Don't compress bitmaps or you'll lose much of the image quality. · Bitmaps should contain at least 256 colors. · Bitmaps should have a minimum resolution of 96 dpi for screen, 150 dpi for print.

You can also present slide shows by working from a print-out or a PDF file. For information, see Sharing slide shows on page 235.

Playing slide shows
There are different ways to play slide shows in Presentations.
You can play a slide show by manually controlling the display of each slide.
A slide show can also be played automatically, with each slide displayed in succession and where you can control the time delay between the display of each slide.
To check the appearance, transition, sound, and so on of a slide without playing the entire slide show, you can use QuickPlayTM.
You can also play portable slide shows, which play on any computer that uses the Windows operating system, even if it doesn't have Presentations installed. For information about creating portable slide shows, see "Creating and opening slide shows" in the Presentations Help. You can also smooth out the appearance of text when playing slide shows. See "Enabling text smoothing" in the Presentations Help.

The time delay begins the second the first slide displays on the screen. Time delays also apply to animated images. For example, if you set a two-second time delay for a slide, the first animated object automatically displays two seconds after the slide appears. The next animated object follows two seconds later, and so on. Two seconds after the last animated object displays, the show advances to the next slide.
You can also apply a different time delay to each slide in a slide show by selecting an individual slide.
To play a slide show by using QuickPlay
1 Click a tab on the bottom of the slide show window. 2 Click the QuickPlay tab on the side of the slide show window. 3 Press Esc to stop playing the slide show.

VBA macros Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) lets you develop scripts that are saved in specific projects that use VBA programming language. If VBA 6.3 is installed on your computer, you can access the VBA editor from within Presentations (Tools  Visual Basic  Visual Basic Editor). For more information, see "Working with VBA macros" in the Presentations Help.
Recording and playing macros
One way to create a macro is to record and save a task in Presentations. When you record a macro, you convert actions into macro commands, which are stored and can be played back. You can then play a macro to repeat a sequence of steps for a task that you have recorded or written. While recording or playing a macro, you can pause, resume, or stop it.
To record a macro
1 Click Tools  Macro  Record. 2 Choose the drive and folder where you want to save the macro. 3 Type a filename in the Filename box. 4 Click Save. 5 Perform the actions you want to record. 6 Click Tools  Macro  Stop.
To play a macro
1 Click Tools  Macro  Play. 2 Choose the drive and folder where the macro is stored. 3 Choose a filename. 4 Click Open.
