Changing the workspace
WordPerfect lets you use different workspaces for creating documents. When choosing a workspace, you are specifying the toolbars, buttons, options, and menus that WordPerfect displays. The following workspaces are available:
|
•
|
|
WordPerfect Office mode — displays the default WordPerfect workspace
|
|
•
|
|
Microsoft Word mode — simulates the Microsoft Word workspace by positioning the WordPerfect features, including toolbars, keyboards, and menu items, where you would find the equivalent features in Microsoft Word. For more information about using Microsoft Word mode, see “Simulating the Microsoft Word workspace.”
|
|
•
|
|
WordPerfect Legal mode — exposes the WordPerfect legal features, such as tools that let you create specialized legal documents such as cases and pleadings.
|
|
•
|
|
WordPerfect Classic mode — lets you work in the familiar visual environment of Corel WordPerfect 5.1 and use its keystrokes.
|
You can customize and save workspace settings, including shadow cursor settings, measurement and ruler settings, toolbar, application bar and property bar settings. Saving your workspace settings ensures they remain in effect until you change them.
