The secret to operating WordPerfect is "Reveal Codes". You can view all the
typesetting and formatting codes to help you figure out why something isn't
working. I wish Word had this ability but apparently they are programmed
completely differently. The only way to learn a software is to use it
regularly, so good luck.

I've been using Word for 12 years (currently 2003), now must install my OEM
WordPerfect 11 and use for transcription. I want to continue using Word for
my current clients, but want to learn WordPerfect enough to function
adequately to serve a prospective new client.

I realize this is a Word board, but after doing some reading, I've found
that many here use both programs as well. Anyone have any insight for me as I
jump into learning a totally different word processing program? If you know
of any good help sites, I would appreciate it. I have been to several --
Corel's and WP Universe -- and they were geared more towards long-time users
as opposed to a newbie like myself. I've ordered the "dummies" book from the
library for at least some form of reference as well.

TIA for any assistance.
