I have wordperfect 12 - sm
How the heck do I double space?? I have been through the whole tool bar and cannot find where I can double space. what I have found is how to space between paragraphs, which is not what I need. I need to double space my report.
please help me   I'm almost crying over this.
I have WordPerfect 11 and have no
problems with Vista. If yours is like mine, it came preloaded with Word 2007 as a trial basis. I just deleted 2007 and loaded my Word 2003 and have not had any problems. I don't know why WordPerfect 11 and 12 would be so different. Maybe you can go to the WordPerfect site and see if it says anything about Vista, or maybe even the Microsoft site.
WordPerfect
Wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. I am trying to put the patient's name flush left on the top of the page and CENTER the title on the same line. It keeps centering the name with the title...what am I missing?
WordPerfect X3
I just bought & installed WP X3. My office requires that all documents are password protected. As I save my documents, I can 'see' the password protect box, but the program does not allow me to check the box & give a password.
Is there something in X3 that I need to go to that will allow me to use passwords? I can't find it anywhere in the program & I've used Help, etc.
Thanks!
WordPerfect??
I am wondering how you put the places in your document that you can jump while typing dictation in WordPerfect? Can anyone help me?
Another WordPerfect question sm
I had to install WordPerfect 6.1 for a new client's work. I already have WordPerfect Suite 12 on my computer, but now WP 6.1 is apparently set up as the default WP program and any time I open a WP document from the Documents menu instead of with WP 12 running, it opens as a WP 6.1 document.
How do I re-set WP 12 as the default WP program?? I have a ton of personal documents in there (I don't currently use it for a client). I wouldn't mind so much, except that one document I use all the time, my telephone list, opens in WP 6.1 (instead of WP 12, where I originally created it) and then when I try to scroll down it says "insufficient memory" and the program closes. HELP!!!!
TIA.
WordPerfect for DOS or Windows?
Either way, you'd have to write a macro or something that would find the next instance of what your jump marker might be, and go there.
Help with WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows
Long story short, I do dictation at a hospital where we use WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows. I am going to be doing dictation at home and then pasting the file in WordPercfect at the hospital. I was looking for a way to convert files from MS Word into to WP, but wasn't successful in that so now I'm trying to find a copy of WP 6.1 and am not having any luck. Does someone know where I might could download this as I need it ASAP or can you use another version of WP with 6.1? Thanks in advance.
If it comes with WordPerfect, it doesn't come with MS Word.
Unless you pay extra and special order it. One or the other, not both.
Just had to switch from Word to WordPerfect. Could someone please tell me in the
mess that is Corel Office, where I find UNDERSTANDABLE directions for making macros for headings, etc??
WordPerfect numbered list help please!
Just starting to use WordPerfect, so unfamiliar with it. I can't get numbered list feature set properly. I can get it to number, think I have it set, and then when I save the document, close, and reopen, it has changed. Pulling my hair out here :) Any help is appreciated.
WordPerfect is 6.1 (I think) and Word is 2003

Any version of WordPerfect will be compatible. nm
Stedman's Spellchecker and WordPerfect
I have Microsoft Word and I have Stedman's Spellchecker on it, but I now also have WordPerfect and am wondering how I get it to pick up the spellchecker? Anyone know? Thanks!
Wordperfect instruction sites that are easy
I figured out how to assign shortcut keys to macros in Wordperfect and I found a bunch of other useful instructions for WP at these two sites:

In WordPerfect, could someone please tell me how to make a line break
so it keeps the justification? Ctl+shift+L just moves down another line and does not justify. Thank You.
How to copy macros from WordPerfect to Word
Does anyone know how to do this? Would save so much time, as we have tons. Thanks for any ideas!
Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.
Need help ASAP - websites that are similar to WordPerfect for dummies.
Went from working soley in Word for last 8 years to WordPerfect 8. Last time I worked in WP it was dos. I need quick tips, time savers, keyboard commands, that sort of thing. Need to get my speed up. Thanks.
Assign shortcut keys to macro Wordperfect?
I have to switch to Wordperfect after working in MS Word for 7 years. I have figured out how to record a macro, but how do you assign a shortcut key to it?
What I am wanting to do is jump to the next * in my reports because that is how I move from heading to heading.
The help section in WP just confused me
Any help is wonderful
Thanks

I've been Googling it and there is some info about going from WordPerfect to Word, but I can't find anything about importing them from Word to WordPerfect.

do you ever wonder anymore when they say
they 'lost the account' if it went to VR or somewhere else? Was it an easy account?
Perhaps you just need to get used to the new one. That happens to me, I panic on new accounts, and then after doing them a few weeks they are just as easy...
Sorry to hear you are losing money, though. That can never be good when that happens to one of us...
No. I do not believe so. Not anymore.
i know too many companies who suck too bad.
Do they pay much anymore? (sm)
I've seen a few ads, one I saw yesterday paying a whole $25.00 for each audio tape. The audio tapes were each one hour. Puleeeze!
So if it took you 3 minutes to do their 1 minute, you would make a little over $8.00 an hour. That is if their recording is good enough to understand. If it took you 4 minutes to their 1 minute, you would make a little over $6.00 an hour.
I used to, but not anymore. sm
I went to Wal Mart at 6 a.m. (only because I was already up) a couple of years ago and people were literally fighting in line to get to the door. I got in my car and went home. All I wanted was a 13 inch TV that was on sale, but figured it wasn't worth it.
I went back the next day and asked a salesperson if there was any chance they might have any of those 13 inch TV's left and he said, "Oh heck yes. We have hundreds of them out back. How many would you like me to go and get?"
Well, I just had to buy 2.

I used to type verbatim and thought that was the way it was suppose to be as an MT until I was told that I needed to correct grammer, punctuation etc. from the company I work for "which is part of being an MT and not just a typist". So, since I was "informed" of how things were I make changes if necessary.
Don't cry anymore...get out as soon as possible.
Please follow the advice that has been written here in this thread... You've given this man (?) every chance. I wasted 7 years of my life to an alcoholic who was selfish, could've cared less about his sons, and all the while, I was hoping and praying that he would change. As a matter of fact, I gave him an ultimatum, and he is the one who left. It was a Saturday, I cried all day, didn't have a job, never had a job, what was I going to do? Well, come Monday, I went to the Welfare Department, got an emergency check, and by Monday afternoon, I was singing, dancing around, thrilled, and my kids had not seen me that happy all of their young lives! Really sad when I think about what I let them go through! It is not fair or healthy for the children, and to think I cowered until HE made the decision. After I left the welfare office, I thought how easy it was, and why didn't I do this sooner. Then, when I got my bearings, I went out into the big world and started working, scraped of course, but life went on, and the kids and I were happy. As the old saying goes, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Please do this for yourself, but especially your children. God Bless You and give you strength.
yes, but not bad anymore.
it took numerous dermatologists to even get it diagnosed right. But mine itches fiercely. Used to have to take anti-itch meds orally. I have a mild case right now on my hand and legs. Years ago, had an Rx specially cococted at the pharmacy. The only component of that I recall is urea. Avoid hot water and soaps as much as possible. Other than finding a GOOD dermatologist, I'm afraid I don't have any advice to offer though.

from someone who does not have Mom anymore
I don't have my Mom around anymore and so with this in mind what I can suggest is time, do something with her, make time for her and make her feel important. Give her your undivided attention. It only has to be a lunch, a drive somewhere with lunch but most of the time all they want is time with their children. Just like when we were children and wanted their time and attention, now it has come full circle and they want our time and undivided attention. Even if you don't get along that well with your Mom, try it and see if it works. Wish I had more time with my Mom and there were times we did not get along but would love one more Mother's Day. Just a thought.
Not anymore, but I was 24 when I got into MT, 34 now. nm

Used to like her, but don't anymore (sm)
I agree. Who cares what her favorite things are?
Not anymore!
Happened to me too. I now work for a company that charges the hospital by the minutes dictated, so even when they do change their minds, I'm still getting paid.
I don't SR anymore but
I really liked it when I worked at the Q. The complaint that you can type it faster than edit it never applied to me because I used to be reading and editing way ahead of where the dictation was. After a while, I learned to interpret some of the garbage ASR put in and would change it before it was even dictated. So I was actually editing faster than it was being dictated. I am not sure I explained it well, but no way I could have typed it that fast.
it's sad that nobody ever says thanks anymore
I might catch and correct literally hundreds of mistakes in any given week, but if I happen to miss one - THAT'S the only thing I'll ever hear about.

Its not too expensive anymore, and i think...
that it's worth it. It could make the difference between a new client, and that in itself would pay for the cost of your website. I would suggest either of these services:
www.aplus.net or www.sitefever.com
I used to use a timer, but not anymore.
It would jump the living daylights out of me every time as I was "in the transcribing zone." :)
Can't be too careful anymore.
Very wise call.
Nothing about MQ is adding up anymore.

not a legal anything anymore
You really need to speak with an attorney about this. I see several issues: 1- she was not divorced, as I understand it, so her husband might have rights to the m/c; 2- Dependant on the existance (I spelled that wrong huh) of a will, who knows who actually owns the bike; but, 3- if the bike is in her name on the title, and there is no leinholder, odds are, the seller has no legal footing (unless there's a contract of sorts with receipts to verify his legal standing).... it boils down to, talk to an attorney in your state, laws vary so much state to state.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and so sorry this had to pop up to get in the way of your grieving and healing process.
I don't do homemade anymore
Being single, its just easier nowadays to buy chili, the fritos and cheese. One thing I NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy (or made) chili with beans .... el yucko!!!!
I use to all the time. Not anymore though.
It is only because no one offers that anymore

She's never on this board anymore.
If you notice, we haven't heard from her since Christmas. She has hired others to respond to us. Probably because she is ashamed.
I don't watch it anymore, but...
watched it today and bawled like I did the first time when Dr. Green's father died and then bawled all over again when Carol and Doug were reunited.
