Adventures with WordPerfect: Writing Books with WordPerfect

By Tim R Wolf

This is a book about using WordPerfect to write books, technical articles, term papers, and other long documents. Learn to manage large, multi-chapter projects, complete with table-of-contents and indexing. 240 pages, illustrated. Revision 2024.08 People laugh when they learn I still use WordPerfect, but I always tell them this: I am currently editing a 600-page, fully-illustrated book, with hundreds of graphics. I do not lose graphics. Paragraphs do not mysteriously change. I never have to re-type a word to fix some stupid formatting problem. Tab-settings are not trashed just because I made a change somewhere else. If you constantly yell at your word processor and threaten physical violence (ah-hem, MSWord), consider WordPerfect. WordPerfect has a 30-day trial. With this book, and the trial, you can try these techniques for less than the cost of a lunch. Even if you already own Microsoft Word, use WordPerfect for the important documents. The software is not that expensive and once bought, you own it - no subscription. In this book, learn how to: Set up chapter and paragraph styles, even-odd page headings, footnotes, and endnotes. Write page footers that work every time, all the time. Learn professional techniques to defend your text from page-breaks. Now you can insert new pages, delete text, and make other structural changes to your book and not have to chase page-breaks by hand. Build a master document with sub-documents and chapters. Indexing and Table-of-Contents span the subdocuments. Publish to Kindle or to PDF And just generally learn about WordPerfect The book is lavishly illustrated with small, cropped illustrations that are fully-annotated and they don't waste your time or space. This book is not well-suited for a simple, fully-textual novels, where it is mostly words that flow from page-to-page. But with that said, even if you are writing a "wordy" book, you can learn a lot about WordPerfect and your novel would benefit. And naturally, WordPerfect can do all the other stuff a word processor should do. The eBook version is distributed as a "Print Replica," and is in full color. The eBook version appears as standard paper pages. The Paperback version is printed as a traditional book, black-and white. The paperback is designed to be three-hole punched. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I had in writing it. Best wishes! T.
