Application Management Documentation and Web Page

A preliminary copy of the Corel Application Management Guide is included in the Netadmin directory of the CD-ROM in Envoy-runtime format, and it is included in the Reference Center in Envoy format. Corel has chosen to use the World Wide Web and other electronic services to distribute information and utilities for network administration and applications management. For the latest version of the Corel Application Management Guide and for periodic updates of the Corel Office Settings Editor, see the Service and Support section of our Web site at www.wordperfect.com.

To view the Corel Application Management Guide in Envoy-runtime format,

1	Open the Netadmin folder on the root of the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM.

2	Double-click Admn8en.exe.

 To access the Reference Center

Tip

 A copy of the Corel Application Managment Guide in Envoy-runtime format (Admn8en.exe) is also available in the \\Corel\Appman\Admin directory.

Whether you install Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional on a network server, on individual workstations, or use a combination of these methods, the total number of copies of an application in use should not exceed the number printed on your proof of purchase. You should have received the proof of purchase when you purchased Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional. The Software License Agreement contained in the Setup program explains more about using multiple copies of the applications.


Installing Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional on a Network

There are two versions of the Setup program on your Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM:

NETSETUP.EXE	Network Setup [image] installs Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional on a network server. Use Network Setup to create a shared installation of the applications.
SETUP.EXE	Workstation Setup [image] installs Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional on a workstation (network client computer) or on a stand-alone computer.

Only the network administrator or applications manager should run NETSETUP.EXE.

For detailed information on how to perform a network installation of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional, including installing to a server, installing to a client, and upgrading from older versions of the suite, see the Corel Application Management Guide in the Reference Center on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM.


Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Directory Structures

Installing applications in the default directory structure is recommended because it helps you organize files, and lets you secure individual files or groups of related files. The default directory structure for a network installation of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional matches the directory structure of the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM.

To view the default directory structure of a Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional network installation,

1	Open Windows Explorer.

2	Select the disc drive with the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM.

3	Double-click the Autorun, Corel, Font Navigator, and Netscape folders.


Compatibility Between Envoy Versions

If you have Envoy 1.x  or Envoy 7.0.2.x or earlier installed, you need to remove it before you install Envoy 7.0.3.x. To determine which version of Envoy you are using, open Envoy, then click Help [image] About Envoy.

Although you can run both Envoy 1.x and Envoy 7 on the same machine, we recommend that you don't. For best results, everyone in your workgroup should use the same version of Envoy.


What Is Included in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8?

Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 includes the following applications:

 Corel WordPerfect 8

 CorelCENTRAL 8 (which integrates Netscape Communicator 4.01 from Netscape Communications Corporation)

 Corel Presentations 8

 Desktop Application Director (DAD) 8

 Envoy Viewer 7

 Corel Photo House

 Bitstream Font Navigator 2.0

 Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Software Developer's Kit

You can use the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Setup program to install the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 applications. Running a Typical installation, you can select which applications you want to install in the Select Components dialog box. However, a Typical installation does not install every item that is available for each application. To install all possible items for each suite application, you need to run a Custom installation.

Quick View Plus (from Inso Corporation) is installed separately using the Corel WordPerfect 8 CD-ROM (for installation instructions,see Installing Quick View Plus in these Release Notes).

Each application in the suite is a full 32-bit program designed for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.  For details about what is new in each suite application, install the application and click Help [image] Help Topics, double-click What is Different?, then click What is New?.

Note on OEM and Academic Packages of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8

The Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 disc that is shipped with OEM and Academic packages may not include all the applications listed above. If your OEM or Academic Corel WordPerfect CD-ROM does not contain one of the applications, it has been removed.


Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 System Requirements

To run the applications in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8, you need

the following:

 Personal computer with 486/66 processor

 Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0

 16 MB RAM

 50 MB Minimum install (or higher depending on components)

 CD-ROM installation (a 3.5" diskette version is available only for Corel WordPerfect 8)

 VGA Graphics Adapter and monitor

 Mouse


Removing Older Versions of Applications

It is not necessary to remove older versions of the other applications ( for example, Corel WordPerfect 7, Corel Quattro Pro 7, or Corel WordPerfect Suite 7) before installing Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional. The Setup program for the suite does not overwrite or remove pre-Windows 95, or Windows 95 versions of these applications. However, you may need to remove these applications to free up disk space for an installation.

If you have Envoy 1.x  or Envoy 7.0.2.x or earlier installed, you need to remove it before you install Envoy 7.0.3.x. To determine which version of Envoy you are using, open Envoy, then click Help [image] About Envoy.

To remove other applications to preserve disk space,

1	Click Start on the Windows 95 Taskbar, then click Settings [image] Control Panel.

2	Click Add/Remove Programs, then follow the on-screen prompts.

If Add/Remove Programs does not include an option to remove the program, see if the original Setup or Install program includes an Uninstall option. If there isn't an Uninstall option, delete the program files manually or use one of the uninstall programs available from your software retailer.

Note

The TextArt program included with Corel WordPerfect 8 does not overwrite the version that was included with Corel WordPerfect 6.1, but it does use the same entry in the Windows 95 Registry. If you leave Corel WordPerfect 6.1 on your system and install Corel WordPerfect 8, you will get the newer version of TextArt when you run Corel WordPerfect 6.1.


Release Notes in the Reference Center

If you need to refer to these Release Notes at a later date, they are available in the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Reference Center.

 To access the Reference Center

Tips

 You can also access the Release Notes from the Windows 95 Desktop. Click Start [image] Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional [image] Setup and Notes [image] Release Notes.

By purchasing a licensed copy of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8, you have also purchased a license to Netscape Navigator 3.0 Personal Edition. By purchasing a licensed copy of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional, you have also purchased a license to Netscape Communicator 4.01.

Note

Before you can connect to the Internet using Netscape Navigator or Netscape Communicator, you must obtain the necessary modem or network connection to an Internet Service Provider.

To install Netscape Navigator 3.0,

1	Insert the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional disc into the CD-ROM drive.

2	Click Netscape Setup.

3	Follow the on-screen prompts.

If Auto-Run is not enabled on your CD-ROM drive, you can open the drive from Windows Explorer or My Computer, double-click Autorun.exe, then click Netscape Setup.

You can also run Setup.exe directly from the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional disc.


Font Limitations in Windows 95 Registry

The Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional applications include fonts that are or can be installed to your hard drive.  To be available for use in applications, fonts must be copied onto your hard drive and registered in the Windows 95 Registry. The Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Setup program does the copying and registering for you. Because there is a limit to the amount of font information that can be stored in the Registry, sometimes Setup will not register all the fonts that you selected for installation.

If the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Setup program detects that you have reached the limit, it will not attempt to register any more fonts but will display a message and continue with the installation process. All the fonts you selected will be copied to your hard drive, but if you receive the "Too Many Fonts Installed" message, some of the fonts will not be registered. We recommend that you do a Typical install first so that there will be room for Setup to register all of the required fonts.

Because the font limitation applies to all the fonts registered on your computer, and not just to those installed by any particular application, you may have previously installed fonts in other applications that cause you to reach the limit when you install Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional. If you need to remove fonts from your computer in order to make room in the Registry for fonts required by Corel applications, use the Windows 95 Control Panel to remove unused fonts. Then reinstall the Corel applications, or use the Control Panel to reinstall their fonts.


Quaterdeck CleanSweep
Quarterdeck CleanSweep

You may have a problem installing the suite if you are using Quarterdeck's CleanSweep program to monitor your system. If you do have a problem, run the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional program again without monitoring the installation process.


Resuming a Failed Installation

If you receive an error message during the installation process telling you that a particular file being installed is not a valid Windows 95 file or asking you to insert a disk you have already inserted, you can cancel the installation process, run the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Setup program again, then resume the installation when prompted. If you have done this several times with no results, you may need to disable your system's disk caching before running the Setup program again.

To install the French-Canadian Spell Checker and Thesaurus, do a Custom installation of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional, and install the writing tools.


Error Installing Printer in Corel WordPerfect 8

You may not be able to install some printers from within Corel WordPerfect 8. Many printers share printer drivers, and if a shared printer driver is already open, other printers that use the driver cannot be added. The most common shared printer driver is Unidrv.dll.

When you open Corel WordPerfect 8, you automatically open the driver associated with the currently selected printer. If the driver happens to be shared, you will get an error message if you try to add another printer that also needs the driver. The Windows 95 Add Printer Wizard will require that you exit Corel WordPerfect 8, and possibly other applications, before you can add the printer.


Installing TrueType Fonts

To install TrueType Fonts,

1	Insert the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 disc into the CD-ROM drive.

2	Click Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Setup.

3	Follow the on-screen prompts until you come to the Installation Type dialog box, then click Custom.

4	Choose a destination, then click Next.

5	Select True Type Fonts, then click Next.

6	Follow the on-screen prompts.

If Auto-Run is not enabled on your CD-ROM drive, you can open the drive from Windows Explorer or My Computer, double-click Autorun.exe, and click Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Setup.

You can also run Setup.exe directly from the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional disc.


Thesaurus Dictionary File

The default dictionary file installed with the Thesaurus feature includes only synonyms and antonyms. A larger dictionary file (slightly over 7 MB) is available under a Custom installation. The larger dictionary contains the Concept Net, which enhances a Thesaurus search by including synonyms, antonyms, word definitions, and sub- and super-categories.

Using the larger dictionary, you can look up or search for the following:

Coordinate Terms	If the word is a type of another more general word (as "oak" is a type of "tree"), its coordinates are other words that are also types of that more general word. For example, "bike" is a type of vehicle, so some of its coordinates are "car," "truck," and "golf cart."
Descriptive Categories	For example, if you look up "Germany," Thesaurus lists categories Germany belongs to, such as "country," "nation," and "land."
Examples	For example, if you look up "city," Thesaurus lists examples of cities, such as "New York City," "Tokyo," and "Paris."
More General Words	For example, if you look up "oak," Thesaurus lists more general words such as "tree" and "wood."
More Specific Words	For example, if you look up "flower," Thesaurus lists specific flower names such as "daisy" and "sunflower." You can also list or search for specific terms for the verb "to flower," such as "burst forth" and "effloresce."
Related Words	Related words have a similar meaning. For example, if you look up "old," Thesaurus lists words such as "senior," "original," and "outdated."
What a Word Is a Part of	For example, if you look up "leg," Thesaurus lists words such as "chair," "poultry," and "journey," because a leg is a part of each of these things.
To install the larger thesaurus dictionary,

1	Do a Custom installation of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional.

2	Select a destination drive, then click Next.

3	Select Accessories, then click Components.

4	Select Corel Writing Tools, then click Components.

5	Select English Writing Tools, then click Components.

6	Select Optional Files, then click Components.

7	Select Additional Thesaurus Definitions.

This file contains words that may be offensive to some people. These words are included in the file to enable the relational searches mentioned above. It is not our intention to promote the use of these terms or to offend you.


Display Problems in Corel WordPerfect 8

ATI Driver

If you are using the ATI graphics driver MACxw4 version 2.01, you may have problems with cursor movement when selecting or editing equations. Contact your vendor for an updated driver, or use the version of the driver that comes with Windows 95.


Note on Trademarks

For a list of trademarks in any application in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional, click Help [image] Help Topics [image], double-click Corel Support Services [image] Copyrights and Trademarks.


Command Line Switches

There are several command line switches you can use with NETSETUP.EXE and SETUP.EXE. For a detailed list of the command line switches, see the appendices in the Corel Application Management Guide in the Reference Center on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM.


Notes For Users of VLMs

You may encounter problems running Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional applications under Netware Client v1.2 for DOS and Windows (VLMs). According to Novell's NTS Statement on System Support issues related to Windows 95,

"Because Netware Client v1.2 for DOS and Windows are considered interim solutions to NetWare Client 32 or Windows 95, Novell will not be providing engineering support (i.e., bug fixes) for these products."

If you have problems running these applications under NetWare Client v1.2 for DOS and Windows, Novell recommends that you upgrade to NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95.


Distributing Envoy Documents

Envoy 7 .evy files created under Windows 95 or Windows NT will open only on another system where Envoy 7 is installed. Envoy 7 Runtime (.exe) files also require Windows 95 or Windows NT. Earlier versions of Envoy files (1.0 and 1.0a for Windows and for Macintosh) will open in the Envoy 7 Viewer, but the reverse is not true. For information on sending Envoy 7 files to Windows 3.1 or Macintosh users, click Help [image] Corel Web Site.


Windows NT and Envoy 7

The Envoy 7 viewer work s and will be installed under Windows NT.  However, the Envoy 7 printer driver does not work with Windows NT and will not be installed under Windows NT.


Installing Quick View Plus

Quick View Plus is a software product designed to make it easier to pass files, memos, and worksheets from one system to another. The user can read and manipulate all the popular word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, and graphics files, without regard to their native format, and without the need for the application program that created them.

To install Quick View Plus,

1	Insert the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional disc into the CD-ROM drive.

2	Click Quick View Plus Setup.

3	Follow the on-screen prompts.


The Year 2000 and Date Formats in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8

There are two types of numeric formats for dates in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional applications. Numeric formats that are 2 digits are implicit century dates. In 4/26/99, the century date "99" implies the year 1999.  Numeric formats that are 4 digit are explicit century dates. In 4/26/1999, the century date "1999" explicitly states the year 1999. Corel WordPerfect 8, Corel Quattro Pro 8, and Corel Presentations 8 are applications that use these numeric formats.

For example, in Corel WordPerfect 8, when you insert dates in table cells that use the Date/Time numeric format, you can type shortcuts (such as 4/26/99) for the date. If you enter 00-50 for the year, Corel WordPerfect will assume you are entering dates for 2000 through 2050. If you enter 51-99 for the year, Corel WordPerfect will assume 1951-1999. You can override the century assumption by entering 4 digits for the year, such as 4/26/1947.

In Corel WordPerfect 8, you can also use shortcuts to change the dates in Document Properties (File [image] Properties). If you have entered a date using a 2-digit numeric format and then decide to reenter the last two digits, Corel WordPerfect will keep the original century designation. For example, if you enter 4/26/99 (4/26/1999) and you reenter 4/26/39, Corel WordPerfect will assume 4/26/1939 rather than 4/26/2039. If you want to change the century designation, you must enter all four digits for the year.

For more information on a specific application, look up date in Help.

Tip

 Corel Corporation has a Year 2000 policy Web site. For the latest information, see What Does the Year 2000 Mean to Corel Users? at http://www.corel.com/2000.htm.


Saving Corel Barista Files

If you want to view a Corel Barista file in an Internet browser, you must save your Barista file in the same folder where the Corel Barista classes are located. Generally, this folder is \Corel\Suite8\Shared\Barista. If you save your Corel Barista files to another folder, or if you move your Corel Barista files to a file server, you need to copy the Corel Barista classes to the new location as well.

Note

In Corel WordPerfect Suite 7, a Classpath command was created in the autoexec.bat file that pointed to the location of the Corel Barista classes. Consequently, an Internet browser would automatically find the Corel Barista classes. In Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional, the Classpath command is no longer put into the autoexec.bat file.


Accessing the Reference Center

The Reference Center contains electronic versions of the manuals included in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional.

To run the Reference Center,

1	Click Autorun.exe on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM.

2	Click Reference Center.

3	Click the picture representing the documentation you want to see.

Tips

 You can access the Reference Center from the Windows 95 Desktop. Click Start on the Windows taskbar [image] Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional [image] Setup & Notes [image] Reference Center. You can also access the Reference Center from within Corel WordPerfect, Corel Presentations, or Corel Quattro Pro. Click Help [image] Help Topics [image] Contents, then double-click View Manuals.

 The Reference Center typically runs from the CD-ROM, unless your installation type is Custom or Run from Network. If you need to install the Reference Center, run the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Setup Program.

 Unless you run the Reference Center from the CD-ROM, you must have Envoy 7 installed to view the online documentation. If you need to install Envoy, exit the Reference Center and run the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Setup Program.


Corel Barista Files and Unix

UNIX is a case-sensitive operating system. When you send Corel Barista files to a UNIX operating system using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the file names are converted to lowercase. The UNIX operating system cannot run the files until you modify the file names. To keep the file names from changing to lowercase, you should zip Corel Barista files before you send them, via FTP, to a UNIX operating system.


Printing to Envoy

To print to Envoy 7, you need the Envoy 7 Driver. The Envoy 7 Driver is not included with Corel WordPerfect Suite 8. The Envoy 7 Driver is included in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional. For more information, visit the Corel Envoy Web site at http://www.corel.com/products/wordperfect/envoy7.


Installing to an NDS Server Using Microsoft's Services for NDS

When installing to a NetWare 4.x server using Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services or Microsoft Client Services for NetWare, you must use Mapped drives when choosing the Workstation installation path. Do not use UNC paths. If you use the NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 or Novell IntranetWare Client for Windows NT, you can install to a Novel NDS(TM) server using UNC paths or Mapped drives.

Note

You can choose between UNC paths and Mapped drives during Network Setup, but not during Workstation installation.


Locating Clipart Images

Most Clipart images are not installed to a server or a personal computer when you install the suite. Rather, they are located on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 CD-ROM or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM Disc 2. If you are having trouble locating Clipart images, you should look on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 CD-ROM or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM Disc 2 in the Clipart directory (at the root of the disc).

To use the Scrapbook to locate Clipart on the CD-ROM,

1	Insert the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 CD-ROM or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM Disc 2 in the disk drive.

2	Open Corel WordPerfect 8, Corel Quattro Pro 8, or Corel Presentations 8.

3	Click Insert [image] Graphics [image] Clipart.

4	Click CD Clipart.

Tip

Clipart filenames on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 CD-ROM or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM disc 2 do not match the Clipart filenames used in the Corel Clipart manual. The CD-ROM uses short filenames and the manual uses long filenames.


Microsoft Exchange and Windows 95a

There is a conflict with Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional, Microsoft Exchange, and the Windows 95a operating system. If you are experiencing problems, you need to install the Microsoft Exchange Update for Windows 95. As of  5/5/97, the name of this file is exupdusa.exe (the file name could change and there may be a different file for localized versions of Windows 95). To get the Exchange update, please visit Microsoft's Web site for upgrades and support (http://www.microsoft.com/ExchangeSupport).


Corel Barista Files and Internet Explorer 3.02

When a Corel Barista file is run locally using Internet Explorer 3.02, the text in the file will display, but the graphics in the file may not display. To view the graphics in the Corel Barista file, you need to enter a Classpath command, which points to the folder with the Corel Barista classes, in your Autoexec.bat file. Generally, this folder is \Corel\Suite8\Shared\Barista.

Note

There is no problem using Internet Explorer 3.02 to view Corel Barista files on the Internet. Files created with the Corel Barista Driver use bitmaps (*.bmp) and will display on a local drive and the Internet with or without Classpath.


Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional and Corel WordPerfect Suite 7

Versions of Corel WordPerfect Suite 7 (or Corel Office 7 Professional) shipped before October 16, 1996 are not compatible with Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional. If you have incompatible versions of the suite and you want to run Corel WordPerfect Suite 7 and Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional side by side on the same server, you can 1) upgrade to the October 18, 1996 release of Corel WordPerfect Suite 7, or 2) follow the instructions in Running Suite 7 and Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Side by Side Without Upgrading below.

Running Suite 7 and Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional Side by Side Without Upgrading

To run Corel WordPerfect Suite 7 and Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional completely independent of each other on the same server (sharing no files or directory structure), you must delete or rename Namadmin.dir before installing Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional. You can delete Namadmin.dir if it is found in the Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Corel\AppMan\Namadmin.dir, or you can delete or rename Namadmin.dir if it is found in SYS:\PUBLIC or NETLOGON. Generally, Namadmin.dir is found in only one of these locations. Be sure to choose a unique directory structure when installing Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional.

Workstation Installation

For a workstation installation of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional, your choices are 1) upgrade to the October 18, 1996 release of Corel WordPerfect Suite 7, or 2) remove ManageDirectory which is found in the Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Corel\AppMan\ManageDirectory.

Tip

For more information on upgrading, visit the Corel WordPerfect Product Web site at http://www.corel.com/products/wordperfect.


Corel Settings Editor and Mfc42.dll

In order to run Corel Settings Editor on a workstation, Mfc42.dll needs to be installed on the workstation. You can either copy Mfc42.dll from the \corel\Appman\WkSWPI8 folder on the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM into the \windows\system folder on the workstation; or you can run a workstation installation of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional.

The Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional disc that is shipped with OEM and Academic packages may not include all the applications listed above. If your OEM or Academic Corel WordPerfect CD-ROM does not contain one of the applications, it has been removed.


Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional System Requirements

To run the applications in Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional, you need

the following:

 Personal computer with 486/66 processor

 Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0

 16 MB RAM

  50 MB Minimum install (or higher depending on components)

 CD-ROM installation (a 3.5" diskette version is available only for Corel WordPerfect 8)

 VGA Graphics Adapter and monitor

 Mouse


Netscape Communicator and CorelCENTRAL

When you install CorelCENTRAL, an integrated version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a is also installed. The integrated version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a is the same as the standard version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a. However, it has been modified to provide CorelCENTRAL with features such as scheduling events and assigning To Do items over the Internet. If you already have Netscape Communicator 4.01a installed, you still need the integrated version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a to take advantage of all the CorelCENTRAL features.

Because the settings for the integrated version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a are stored and maintained separately from the standard version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a, installing the integrated version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a does not overwrite the settings for the standard version of Netscape Communicator. If, after using CorelCENTRAL for a period of time, you find that you no longer use the standard version of Netscape Communicator 4.01a, you may want to remove it from your hard drive to free up disk space.


Corel VENTURA 7 Demo

A demo of Corel VENTURA 7 is included with Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional. You must install the Corel VENTURA 7 Demo before you can run it.

To install the Corel VENTURA 7 demo,

1	Insert the Corel WordPerfect Suite Professional CD-ROM Disc 2 in the disk drive.

2	Click Start on the Windows 95 Taskbar, then click Run.

3	Click Browse and select the drive with the CD-ROM.

4	Double-click VP7_Demo, then double-click Setup.exe.

5	Click OK to run the Corel VENTURA 7 Demo installation.

6	Follow the installation instructions (you may need to restart your computer to run the demo).

To run the Corel VENTURA 7 demo,

1	Double-click the Corel VENTURA 7 icon in the Corel VENTURA 7 Demo dialog box.


Corel Address Book

If you mark the shared installation of the Corel Address Book as Read-only, users on the network can still edit it (though they cannot add new records).

If you mark the pdoxusrs.net file as Read-only, the Corel Address Book cannot function on the network.

If you make the folder where the database is located Read-only, users cannot edit or add records to the Address Book. Unfortunately, this prevents users from having their own My Addresses and Frequent Contacts books. Users will not be able to create any records. When users start the Corel Address Book, they will see a message stating "Could not create record."


Windows 95 Workstation Installation and Windows Messaging

Windows Messaging must be current when you install to a Windows 95 workstation. The Setup program searches for current files and offers to perform an update. You cannot continue with the Setup program unless you accept the updated Windows Messaging.

When you launch Autorun from the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 CD-ROM or Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM Disc 1, you can  select a button to update Windows Messaging.


Opening Corel Presentations Files from DOCS Open

If you choose a recently edited Corel Presentations 8 file from the Quick Retrieve screen in DOCS Open when Corel Presentations 8 is NOT running, Corel Presentations will open with the Startup dialog box. You must then click OK to create a new Slide Show. If the file does not open in Corel Presentations, see To change DDE Settings below.

There are two ways to prevent this situation:

1	In Corel Presentations, click Tools [image] Settings [image] Environment, then  choose either Drawing or Slide Show as the Startup Document Option.

2	In DOCS Open, double-click the Applications icon in the Library Maintenance dialog box , then double-click the Application ID for Corel Presentations. Click Launch Methods. Double-click each Launch Method in turn, then click DDE Settings. Place the startup switch /bs (bypass startup) or /bsd (bypass startup and go into a drawing) in the Command Line Parameters section. Using the /bs startup switch will cause Corel Presentations to show a default slide show before opening your DOCS Open file.  Using /bsd will open a blank drawing window (which remains on the list of open documents until you either exit Corel Presentations or close that blank drawing window) and then the DOCS Open file will appear. This switch is much faster than /bs.

Note

Using one of these switches will also cause Corel Presentations to bypass the Startup dialog box when you launch Corel Presentations from the Applications Group box in DOCS Open.

To change DDE Settings,

1	In DOCS Open, double-click the Applications icon in the Library Maintenance dialog box.

2	Double-click the Application ID for Corel Presentations 8.

3	Click Launch Methods.

4	Double-click each Launch Method in turn, then click DDE Settings.

5	Modify the Open Settings and Print Settings based on the information in DDE Settings below.

International Versions of Corel Presentations 8 and the Graphicsland Component

Corel Presentations 8 includes a Graphicsland component that allows you to send your slide show to a North American slide service bureau. This component is not installed by default. If you choose to install the Graphicsland component, please be aware that when you send your slide show to the Graphicsland slide service bureau, you will place an international long-distance call. As an alternative to making a long-distance call, you can upload your slide show to the Graphicsland Web site. For more information, please visit Graphicsland's Web site at www.graphicsland.com.


Inserting the Current Date Into Your Spreadsheet

You can insert the current date into your spreadsheet using either the Insert [image] Date function or Perfect Expert [image] Format Title Area [image] Insert Current Date. Then use the Format [image] Selection  Numeric Format [image] Date function to choose the date display option you want (for example, 04/14/1997) and format the cell.


Installing from Diskette

The complete Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 is available only on CD-ROM. However, Corel provides a diskette version of Corel WordPerfect 8. Insert Disk 1 in the disk drive, then run the Setup program to install the Corel product to your workstation. You can run the Network Setup program to install to a network server. Start the Setup or Network Setup program by double-clicking the appropriate icon. Follow the instructions on each dialog box. You can click Help if you need more information. You are prompted to insert each new diskette as the installation requires.

The Help file provided with the Setup programs refers to the CD-ROM version. The same information applies to the diskette version and will help you to successfully install your Corel product.

If you are installing to a server using diskettes, first read the Corel Application Management Guide available at Corel's Web site at http://www.corel.com/support/netadmin.

DOCS Open States That a File is Already Open When the File is Not Open

If you choose a recently edited Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 or Suite 8 Professional application file in the Quick Retrieve screen of DOCS Open, and DOCS Open states that the file is already open, you need to make sure that the DOCS Open Integration is set to ODMA Compliant rather than set to Full Integration.

Sample Hyperlinks in Web Page Templates and Sample Components

Some of the page templates and sample components in the Content Gallery of Corel WEB.SiteBuilder include sample hyperlinks,which are meant as placeholders only.  You should replace the sample text with your own text and edit the associated hyperlink address to point to the Web page you want.


Novell GroupWise Compatibility

If you are using GroupWise 4.1a or 5 in a Windows 95 environment, you must have Mapi.dll version 4.1 or newer. Otherwise, you may experience problems with the Send to function of Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 and Suite 8 Professional applications.

To prevent or resolve this problem,

1	Copy the latest version of Mapi.dll from the \GWMapi folder on the root of the Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 CD-ROM or Corel WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional CD-ROM Disc 1.

2	Paste Mapi.dll to the Win95\System folder.

When you insert an Applet into your web site and the Applet parameters need to refer to external files, you must do the following:

1	Drag the external files that the Applet refers to from Windows Explorer to the Site Objects List view in the Site Manager window of WEB.SiteBuilder.

2	Double-click the Applet in your web page, then click the Parameters tab.  In the Value text box for the parameter, add "Objects/" to the specified external filename (excluding .HTM and .HTML files).

For example, "Objects/jalvey.jpg" or "Objects/sound.au."
