Different View Modes

You can work with your documents in three view modes: Draft, Page, and Two Page. In Draft and Page view, you can use Zoom to change the display size of the text or graphics you are viewing.

Page view is a full WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment. In addition to matching fonts and appearance features, information is formatted in the document window as it will look when it is printed (for example, document headers, footers, footnotes, watermarks, rotated text, and label arrangements are displayed). Because information in Page view appears as it will when it is printed, information which does not print (such as a comment) is displayed as an icon.

Two Page view is similar to Page view, except that two consecutive pages are displayed side by side in the document window.

Draft view imitates a partial WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment. WordPerfect displays your document close to the way it will look when it is printed. You can usually work faster in Draft view because features such as headers, footers, watermarks, and certain formatting features do not appear.

• Choose Draft, Page, or Two Page from the View menu.

• Choose Zoom from the View menu, choose Full Page, then choose OK.

• Click the magnifying glass button on the Toolbar.

1. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu, then choose Display.
2. Choose View/Zoom.
3. Select the Default View you want, choose OK, then choose Close.

Saving Files

You can save hundreds of files on a hard disk, which works like a filing cabinet with directories and sub-directories as file drawers and folders that group similar files. You can save files with new names, save them in different directories, or save them in different formats. If you do not specify a directory or format, WordPerfect applications save files in the current directory and default format.

You should use Save periodically to avoid losing your work if a power or system failure occurs. You can also use the Backup features to avoid losing your work.

1. Choose Save or Save As from the File menu.
2. Select the directory where you want to save the file from the Directories list box or the QuickList.
3. Type a filename for the file.

• Select the file you want to replace with the saved file.

1. Choose the format you want.
2. Choose Save to save the file in the selected format.

Once you have saved a file using Save As, you can update your saving as you proceed with your typing, simply by clicking Save button on toolbar.
