Working with WordPerfect Columns

Monday, September 29th, 2008

When working with columns in Corel WordPerfect, and you are utilizing columns, it may be a bit daunting when you want to create a column break.

  • All you have to do is Click CTRL + Enter to create a column break.

Any text after the column break is moved to the next column.

If your insertion point is in the last column and you click CTRL + Enter, the text is moved to the next page. The reason that this happens is that there is no next column on that page, so the result will look like a page break.

To create a true page break while working with columns, follow the steps below:

Click CTRL + Shift + Enter.

This keyboard combination should give you a page break no matter where your insertion point is located.

Many thanks to Diane Bentley for this tip.

WordPerfect Default Tabs

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

2. July 2008 by Carol.

 

Someone wrote to me recently very upset about the fact that her tabs were no longer set to a half inch in WordPerfect.  It was driving her nuts and she wanted her half inch tabs back again.

Luckily, I had a resolution for her and she didn’t go mad!

There are two ways to accomplish this task:

  • From the Menu bar, click on Format | Line Tab Set | Default | OK.
  •  From the Ruler, click just below the gray horizontal line just below the Ruler and select Default Tab Setting.

To restore all tab settings in your document to the default half inch tab setting, click on  Edit | Select All or use the shortcut CTRL + A to select the entire document before following the above directions.

Thank goodness this was an easy fix and the poor woman could settle down!
