- I have tried about every word processor on the market. A problem
- is faced when using many of the word processors. If the word processor
- is easy to use, it is not very powerful. If the word processor is
- powerful, it is difficult to learn and use. There are few word
- processors that are easy to learn and use and have power.
-
- It is extremely redundant and time consuming to use a different
- word processor for different word processing needs. I searched for a
- word processor that is powerful and would serve both simple and complex
- needs. The word processor I found that would meet all of my present and
- future word processing needs was the WORD PERFECT word processor.
-
- Learning to use WORD PERFECT was one of the worst experiences that
- I have ever had on the micro computer. Some of the key definitions seem
- to have little to do with any other word processor on the market. However,
- I soon found the way to pick up the usage in an efficient manner.
-
- Word perfect has a help key located on the F3 function key. If one
- hits this key, then any key, or combination of keys, reveals the functions
- the key (or keys) perform. Using the help instruction, I found about
- every instruction that the WORD PERFECT software has defined in the
- keys. Once the definitions were revealed the use of the word processor
- becomes, in matter of fact, very eloquent.
-
- To assist those having little experience with WORD PERFECT,
- I have developed two help instructions to speed up the process of
- learning to use the word processor. Two files were developed and
- include the following:
-
- README1 - listing of WORD PERFECT commands which include the
- use of the F1-F10 keys and the ( CTRL, SHIFT, or ALT )
- keys.
-
- README2 - listing of WORD PERFECT commands which include the
- use of any other key combinations available.
- (NO F1-F10 KEYS INCLUDED!!!!!)
-
- These two files can be printed off and taped on the wall behind
- your micro to allow instant access when learning to use WORD PERFECT.
- Even as crazy as some of the key definitions are, repetitive use seems
- to create the automatic use of the keys after a while. I would caution
- you to try out all the commands before using them in a production
- environment. Some of the command can give consistent, though suprising
- results.
