Creating styles for text and graphics

A style is a collection of formatting attributes that are applied to text or graphics. By using styles, you can ensure visual consistency throughout a document and avoid having to repeat multiple formatting tasks for every instance of a particular text or graphic element. Whenever you change the formatting in a style, you change the appearance of all text or graphics that use that style. The text styles that you create are saved with the active document.

Creating bulleted lists

Bullets help to differentiate items in a list or add emphasis to selected paragraphs. You might want to mark list items with bullets, rather than with numbers or outline levels, when the order of the list items is not important and you do not need to show hierarchical relationships in the list.

When creating a bulleted list, you can choose a preset bulleted list format, or you can replace the bullet in the format with a custom symbol, such as a heart, star, or check mark. You can also create a list that uses check boxes.

In this tutorial

You’ll create and customize bulleted lists in a sample document.• Step 1: Opening the sample document• Step 2: Creating a working document• Step 3: Customizing a bulleted list format• Step 4: Applying the Arrow list format to the other lists





2 Open the WP_3_Lists.wpd file.




2 In the File name box, type the new filename (for example, My_Bullets.wpd).

Make sure that your cursor appears within the list.

2 Click Insert Outline/Bullets & numbering.

3 In the Bullets & numbering dialog box, click the Bullets tab.


5 In the Create format dialog box, type Arrow in the List name box.

6 From the Based on list box, choose the fourth item down, which includes standard bullet symbols.

7 Click in the Text before box, and press the Backspace key.

8 On the keyboard, press Ctrl + W.

This shortcut key opens the Symbols dialog box.

9 From the Set list in the Symbols dialog box, choose Iconic symbols.

10 In the Number box, type 5,152 to insert a right-pointing arrow.

The number 5 represents the Iconic Symbols set, and the number 152 represents the specific symbol. This symbol matches the arrow that is used in the final real-estate document, which you are re-creating in these tutorials.

11 Click the Insert and Close button.


Step 4: Applying the Arrow list format to the other lists

The new bulleted list format is now applied to the active list. Next, you’ll apply this same format to the other lists in the document.

To apply the Arrow list format to the other lists1 Locate the next bulleted list in your working document, and click anywhere in the list.


2 Click Insert Outline/Bullets & numbering.

3 In the Bullets & numbering dialog box, choose the Arrow list format.

The Arrow list format should appear last because it is the most recently added format.


5 Repeat this procedure for all the remaining lists.

You can also...WordPerfect gives you many ways to add a professional look and feel to your documents. By customizing your lists, you can make them more effective and easily reflect your own personal style.

Here is an additional method for choosing a custom bullet, plus a method for creating your own bulleted or numbered list formats.

Creating and formatting tables

With WordPerfect, you can easily create tables that are visually appealing and user-friendly. Tables let you organize cells of data in rows and columns and are perfect for presenting lists, schedules, financial data, comparisons, and summaries.

In this tutorial

You’ll create a simple, two-column table that lists all the tasks someone would complete before moving to a new house. The table will include headings that define the time frame for each task.• Step 1: Opening the sample document• Step 2: Creating a working document• Step 3: Converting a list to a table• Step 4: Creating table subheadings• Step 5: Repeating the formatting• Step 6: Splitting the columns





2 Open the WP_4_Table.wpd file.


After you open the sample document, you’ll save it with a new filename to create a working document. By creating a working document, you’ll keep the sample document unchanged so that the tutorial can be reused.


2 In the File name box, type the new filename (for example, My_Tables.wpd).


Step 3: Converting a list to a table

Now you’re ready to create a table from a list in your working document.

24 Creating and formatting tables

To convert a list to a table1 Select the text that makes up the Appendix.

2 Click Table Convert.

3 In the Convert: Text to Table dialog box, enable the Paragraphs option in the Text Delimiters area.


The selected text has now been converted to a table format.

Step 4: Creating table subheadingsInstead of having column headings, the table in this tutorial has highlighted rows that organize the table content according to time periods. These rows act as subheadings within the table.

To create table subheadings1 Position the cursor in the first row of the table.

2 Click Table Borders/Fill.

3 In the Properties for Table Borders/Fill dialog box, click the Cell tab, click the Fill button, and enable the 100% Fill option.

4 Click the Foreground button, and choose Light Gray from the Foreground palette.


The gray fill identifies the content in the first row as a subheading within the table.

6 Select the text in the first row of the table.

7 Click Format Font.

8 Enable the Bold check box.



In addition to changing the font and font attributes of text in a cell, row, column, or table, you can also apply other formatting, such as highlighting, indents, drop caps, and so forth. For more information, see “Formatting text” in the section “Editing and formatting documents” of the WordPerfect Help.

Step 5: Repeating the formatting

The QuickFormat™ feature of WordPerfect allows you to copy the formatting from a selection and apply it many times. You can copy and apply formatting from any text, not only from tables.

To repeat the formatting1 Select the text in the first row of the table.

2 Click Format QuickFormat.

3 In the QuickFormat dialog box, enable the Selected table cells option.

Notice that the appearance of the pointer has changed to a brush, which indicates that you can apply the formatting to other cells.

4 Click in each of the remaining subheading rows to apply the same formatting.

5 When you have finished formatting the subheadings, click Format QuickFormat to turn off the QuickFormat tool.

Step 6: Splitting the columnsNow that the “Planning a Move” list is within a table, you can add details as needed. For example, you can add a column to track task-related information, such as whether the task is complete or which family member is in charge of the task.

To split the columns1 Click Table Split QuickSplit Column.

2 Move the pointer across the row. You’ll see two numbers that indicate the size of the columns if you split the existing column at that location. Click when the numbers indicate a size of 4 inches for the first column.

Repeat the previous step for every row that you want to split. You can split multiple rows at one time.

Notice that in the final real-estate document, all the rows that list tasks have been split.


3 When you are finished splitting rows, click Table Split QuickSplit Column to turn off the QuickSplit tool.

You can also...

You can create a table anywhere in a document window.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added images and captions to your document.


By completing “Adding a table of contents” on page 33, you’ll re-create the final real-estate document (WP_Final.wpd), which is installed in the Tutorial Samples folder.



Adding a table of contents

In a few simple steps, you can add a table of contents to your document. A table of contents is a handy outline that lists main topics in the order of their appearance in a document, along with the page number of each topic. By quickly glancing at the topics in the table of contents, readers can gain a sense of the document’s content and scope. They can also easily access particular sections of the document.

In this tutorial

You’ll create a table of contents for a sample document.• Step 1: Opening the sample document• Step 2: Creating a working document• Step 3: Defining a table of contents for the document• Step 4: Generating the table of contents

If you followed the tutorial “Creating styles for text and graphics” on page 13, you marked a document with heading styles and added markers for the table of contents. Using the styles created in that tutorial, you can easily generate a table of contents that is based on the heading text.

If you have not followed the tutorial “Creating styles for text and graphics” on page 13, you can still generate a basic table of contents by using preset heading styles and marking the headings manually, as described in “You can also...” on page 35.





2 Open the WP_6_TOC.wpd file.




2 In the File name box, type the new filename (for example, My_Contents.wpd).


34 Adding a table of contents

Step 3: Defining a table of contents for the document

Next, you need to define a table of contents for your document. By defining a table of contents, you establish how it will display in the document by specifying things such as the number of levels, the position and the look of the page numbers, and the style of each level.

To define a table of contents for the document1 Position the cursor under the Contents title on page 3.

2 Click Tools Reference Table of contents.

3 Click the Define button.

4 In the Number of levels box, type 2.

This number specifies how many levels of headings your document has.

5 For the TableofCont1 style, choose Text ..... # from the Position list box.

6 For the TableofCont2 style, choose Text ..... # from the Position list box.

The indentation of levels in the table of contents is adjusted according to the number of heading levels you specify.

7 Click the OK button to close the Define table of contents dialog box.

8 In the Reference tools dialog box, click the Close button.

Notice that the text << Table of Contents will generate here >> now appears on the page where you positioned your cursor.

Step 4: Generating the table of contents

Now that you’ve defined how and where the table of contents will appear in your document, you are ready to generate the table of contents. When you generate a table of contents, WordPerfect searches the document for the table of contents entry markers. This information is inserted on the table of contents page in the document.


You need to regenerate the table of contents whenever you update information in the document.

To generate the table of contents1 Click Tools Reference Table of contents.

To ensure that the table of contents is generated before you save or print the document, enable the Auto generate check box. If you do not generate a table of contents after editing the document, a warning appears when you attempt to save or print.

2 Click the Generate button.

3 In the Generate dialog box, click the OK button.

You can also...

If the headings in a document were not created by using styles with Table of Contents markers, you can still create a table of contents by first scrolling through the document and marking each heading manually.

To mark entries for a table of contents1 Click Tools Reference Table of contents.

2 Position the cursor at the beginning of a title that you want to display in the table of contents.

3 Choose a level from Mark 1 through Mark 5. The level you choose depends on the levels you defined for the table of contents. Each mark corresponds to a level of indentation.

4 Repeat the previous two steps for each title that you want to display in the table of contents.

You can press Alt + F3 to view the mark codes for the table of contents. Then, you can go ahead and generate a table of contents as described earlier in this tutorial.

From here...

Congratulations! You have successfully inserted a table of contents.

Your document should now resemble the final real-estate document (WP_Final.wpd), which is installed in the Tutorial Samples folder.

Adding formulas to spreadsheets

Formulas are mathematical equations that calculate a final value, such as the sum of two cells or the total of a column. By using formulas, you can make your Quattro Pro spreadsheets more effective. In addition, you can use cell references in the formulas so that results are automatically updated if the cell values change, or if you copy a formula to a new cell.

Introducing formulas in Quattro Pro spreadsheets is a great way to help you track your personal financial investments. For example, you can create a spreadsheet with stock purchases, stock ticker symbols, purchase dates, purchase volume, and purchase price. You can also track the broker’s commission paid, as well as the average cost per unit of stock.

In this tutorial

You’ll create a basic formula that determines the average cost per unit of stock. The formula will total the cost of the purchase, including the commission, and then divide the total by the number of stocks purchased. You’ll use basic operators and cell references to create this formula.• Step 1: Opening the sample notebook• Step 2: Creating a working notebook• Step 3: Creating a basic formula• Step 4: Copying a formula to a new cell• Step 5: Applying a currency format to the data• Step 6: Applying a date format

Step 1: Opening the sample notebook

First, you’ll need to access the sample notebook.

To access the sample notebook1 Go to the following location (where X is the drive where the operating system is installed):


2 Open the QP_1_Formulas.qpw file.

Creating a customized slide show

One way to create a customized slide show with Presentations is to import an outline from a WordPerfect document. In Presentations, an outline is a list that includes the text for every slide in a slide show. The outline provides the data relationship, or map, that Presentations uses to place the content into the slides. When you import an outline from a WordPerfect document, the headings in the WordPerfect document appear in the Presentations file as slide titles, and the corresponding body text appears beneath the slide titles.

In this tutorial

You’ll create a blank slide-show file and then import an outline based on the final real-estate document that is installed with WordPerfect Office.• Step 1: Creating a slide-show file• Step 2: Importing the outline• Step 3: Changing the layout of a slide• Step 4: Applying a master to the slide show• Step 5: Customizing the master layout layer• Step 6: Playing your slide show

Step 1: Creating a slide-show fileFirst, you’ll need to create a slide-show file. In this tutorial, the method for creating a working file differs from the one you used for the previous tutorials. Instead of opening a preexisting file, you’ll start by creating a blank file.

To create a slide-show file1 Click File Save as.

2 In the File name box, type the new filename (for example, My_Slide_Show.shw).


Step 2: Importing the outline

Now you’re ready to import the WordPerfect outline. The outline that you’ll use in this tutorial is an outlined based on the final real-estate document that is installed with Corel WordPerfect Office.

To import an outline1 Click View Slide Outliner.

2 Click Insert File.

3 Browse to the following location (where X is the drive where the operating system is installed):X:\Users\Public\Public Documents\WordPerfect Office\X6\Tutorial SamplesOn Windows XP: X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\WordPerfect Office\X6\Tutorial Samples

100 Creating a customized slide show

4 Choose PR_Outline.wpd.


Each first-level heading in the outline becomes a slide title, and any second-level or third-level headings are converted to slide text.

Step 3: Changing the layout of a slideNext, you’ll modify the text formatting on a slide by choosing a layout. The layout layer of a slide can consist of titles, subtitles, bulleted lists, data charts, and organization charts.

To change the layout of a slide1 Click View Slide Editor.

2 Click slide 4.

3 Click Format Layout Gallery.

4 On the Appearance page, click the Title layout for the Layout layer.

An alternate way to change the layout of a slide is by opening the Select layout picker and clicking a layout.


You can add up to 30 different layouts to a slide show.

Step 4: Applying a master to the slide show

To simplify the process of creating slide shows, Presentations includes a collection of professionally designed masters. These masters contain slide backgrounds and layouts that include preset objects, such as titles, bulleted lists, and charts. The presets let you concentrate on the content of the slide show, rather than on the format.


The masters in the Master Gallery are grouped into categories. You can use a master provided with Presentations in the Master Gallery.

To apply a master to the slide show1 Click Format Master Gallery.

2 Choose Design from the Category list box.

3 Choose the Blue Chevrons master from the master list.

An alternate way of choosing a master is by clicking the Master gallery button on the toolbar.


Step 5: Customizing the master layout layer

The layout layer of your master includes placeholders for objects such as titles, subtitles, bulleted lists, text, data charts, and organization charts. Objects on the layout layer appear on top of objects on the background layer. You can customize the layout layer by adding, modifying, and removing objects.

To customize the master layout layer1 Click Edit Layout layer.

The background layer determines the overall color and size of a slide. You can easily change the appearance of a slide show by modifying the background layer. This example shows you how to add a date to the background layer.

Now that you have modified both the layout and background layers, you can save the changes as a Presentations master and make it accessible from the Master Gallery.

You can edit the outline in the Slide Outliner by typing content for slide titles, subtitles, text slides, bulleted list slides, and combination slides.

Next, try enhancing your slide show by inserting images, such as photos or clipart objects from the Scrapbook™.

Now, try adding images to your slide show from files that you’ve saved on your computer.

You can improve the print quality of an image by improving its resolution, a process known as resampling. Resampling lets you reduce the file size and memory requirements of your images when you edit, print, or save documents.

To modify the master background layer1 Click Edit Background layer.

2 Click Insert Text Box.

3 Drag in the lower-right corner of the background to define a text box.
