Default Cell Background Highlight Color

Steve W — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:37:36 GMT

Is there a way to have the cell color selected remain the default while a spreadsheet is open instead of having it default back to white for every new cell selected. X5 and X6 have taken simple things and made them more comlicated.

Enable Numeric Keypad For Selecting Files

Steve W — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:32:35 GMT

When opening a file (File Open) or switching between files (Alt Window) I cannot select a file using the numeric keypad. The only numer keys that work are the number keys above the letters. As a number cruncher who uses the numeric keypad this slows me down. Is there a fix for this? Same bug as in X5. this may seem minor those of us who are number crunchers are not used to typing numbers without the numeric keypad. Why would this be disabled, especially in a spreadsheet

WordPerfect X6 should visually switch to all open documents to prompt to save

c627627 — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:20:53 GMT

Exiting WordPerfect X6 (and previous versions) does not visually switch to all open documents to prompt to save.

When you have several documents open and you click on X to exit, you will get prompts to save each one of them but, unlike other programs, WP does not visually switch to each unsaved window when prompting to save.

If you simply create several documents in Quattro Pro and then click on X to exit - you can see Quattro Pro visually switch to each document when prompting to save. WordPerfect does not do this, adding to the risk of closing unsaved data which can easily be forgotten to be saved because it is not visually seen before Exit. Other word processors do this. Quattro Pro does this. It is time that WordPerfect gets this feature too.

Font options in X5

Cookerhiker — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:39:54 GMT

Last month, I upgraded my computer from XP to Windows 7 and purchased the WP upgrade to X5. I find that the font options available are much more limited than what I had in X4 and prior versions. The quantity of fonts hasn't changed but they appear more homogenous. For example, where is Lucinda Calligraphy or Garamound or Old English or Brush Script? There's hardly any cursive/script options anymore. Am I stuck with this or do I have to pay if I want more fonts?

Importing to Paradox

DeVallon — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:29:00 GMT

I'm trying to import a .qpw spreadsheet into Paradox; each time, it tells me it can't do it because the file is in use, but it isn't open anywhere, so I don't know what the problem is or how to solve it. Anyone help?

PDF Fusion needs zoom control in Assembly view

QSpike — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 05:21:21 GMT

It's hard to assembly/join two pdf documents when the page view is so small. Preferences has an option to use large or small thumbnails, but even using the large it can be difficult to see where I'm at. I'd like a view where images are so large that you can see 6 or 7 pages... yeah, that'd be great... or even more zoom choices if you can do it! Thanks, Q

pdf Conversion - Punctuation That is Lost

Gar Cooper — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 02:48:21 GMT

I am converting 40 pdf's of about 6 pages each to Word Perfect.. I have tried various approaches, and just opening with WP X15 with formatting turned off seems to be the best way.

I realize that some things will be lost when formatting is off. However, some punctuation is converted OK - periods and commas, and I believe probably "?".

However, apostrophes, quotation marks, and dashes are lost. This adds quite a bit of work to restoring the documents, and it's hard to be sure that I haven't missed inserting some of them. Since other punctuation is handled OK, could apostrophes, quotation marks, and dashes be added to the capability of the conversion?

I have 28 of the documents left to do. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

SUMIF in Quattro Pro X5

Erik Vahl Meyer — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 00:46:25 GMT

Being new to WP Office I am trying to get the SUMIF Function to answer a condition in the 'condition' argument and it is related to a Date.

@SUMIF(Block,Date>31-12-10#AND#Date<31-12-11,Money)

I get an error (ERR)

Erique

klaybyrd — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:15:26 GMT

I have a newsletter that is 4 pages. I typically print it using 2-sided pages and a staple. However, this time I would like to print it on 11 x 17 paper with a fold in the center making it like a pamphlet. Can WordPerfect automatically handle that??

Make Default Document Folder follow active document

David Dillon — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 19:22:43 GMT

Clicking File | Open always points to the folder identified by Tools | Options | Files | Default document folder. But my working folder is typically several levels down.

I would like a check-box in Tools | Options | Files so that the Default document folder represents the path on start-up but then tracks the most recently active document. This would make it easier to open related documents in the working folder after once navigating from the default folder to the working folder.

Wordperfect X5 crashes in server 2008

Mario — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 15:39:45 GMT

I have a 2008 terminal server that I have tried wordperfect X4 and X5 and both crash after I open the program. The only way the wordperfect stays open is if I stop the print spooler services. Anyone have a fix for this issue?

Fusion PDF .... is there a forum to post Feature Requests?

mediaguy — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:14:46 GMT

Hi. I apologize, this is my first post, and I cannot find a forum for PDF Fusion so I'm posting a question here hoping to find a sympathetic ear .... Is there a forum to post Feature Requests for PDF Fusion?

If someone could direct me to where this should go, that would be helpful. Else, if someone from the Corel team could forward my feature requests on, that would also be appreciated.

I'd love to see the following in Corel PDF Fusion:

Multi-select option (i.e. right click on multi-page selection) and select function to reverse the order of selected pages.

Easy way to assemble a new PDF sourced from 2 or more PDFs by selecting method by which to auto-stitch the selected pages from 2 or more PDF sources together creating a new PDF.

Example:

[page 1 of selection, from PDF1] becomes page 1 of NEW PDF

[page 1 of selection, from PDF2] becomes page 2 of NEW PDF

[page 2 of selection, from PDF1] becomes page 3 of NEW PDF ... and so on

Other stitch options:

- Adjustable subset of selected pages to stitch as a group into the new PDF (1 to n pages)

- Reverse page stitch order of any or all source PDFs (example: PDF1 run in page sequence, PDF2 run in reverse page sequence). This is helpful for collating 2 PDFs containing a 2-sided document, 1 PDF with front/odd pages and 1 PDF with back/even pages (but in reverse page order).

From what I can tell, I have to manually move the pages around to create this effect in Fusion today.

Thank you and again, I apologize for being a newbie and possibly posting in the wrong forum area.

Toolbar Separators disappear when customize is closed

AScottHerd — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 23:22:04 GMT

While customizing my new toolbar I added separators which show up in edit mode but disappear when I close the customize box. Is it broken? This is a new downloaded 2 days ago version of Wordperfect. What am I missing as my older version of Wordperfect did this fine.

Default Mail Client / Microsoft Office Outlook

Sharon D — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:15:35 GMT

How can I get rid of that infernal error message? I use Outlook Express and am not changing.

The instructions say: to open Tools, Settings, Environment, General Tab and choose an address book. It's already on the WP selection but it still gives me that message. This is scary, very scary!!

To choose an address book for WordPerfect

Click Tools Settings.

Click Environment.

In the Environment settings dialog box, click the General tab.

From the Address book list box, choose one of the following:

•

WordPerfect address book

•

Outlook address book

envelope definitions

Sharon D — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 02:32:24 GMT

I've used WP9 for years, probably since 2000, and had created envelope definitions for several card sized envelopes and have printed them with no problem at all. A few days ago I upgraded to WPX5 and have created those same definitions but they won't print - It gives me an error message saying my printer won't support that definition. Well, I know it does because I printed that same definition to that same printer up until I installed X5 a few days ago. Any solution out there?

Can we make WP easier on the eyes?

jaamesk — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 01:43:55 GMT

Hello all --

I have been a die-hard WP fan since Dos version 4.2 I learned computers writing with WP, and have more than 30 years as a technical and content writer, published numerous short stories and aspiring novelis. I am incensed that the only acceptable formats for agents and publishers is *.doc format. Bill Gates, all the power to you, but when it comes to word processing, your Word sucks compared to WordPerfect. Object programming against linear just can not compete! Where would any of us be without reveal codes? I don't want to have to install a section break to change the page numbering that doesn't go from that point onward, but defaults back to the beginning of the f*ing document! No matter what I do! Grrrrrr!

Okay, with that said, I just installed the 30 day trial for X5 hoping to find a significant change, and was so disappointed when I found it wasn't.

There is one area where Word does excel over WP, and that's the interface. I find MS Word is so much easier on my eyes. My Word is set up with the blue field around the document page, which itself is inserted within those boundaries. But, when I open WP X5, I'm still confronted with such a glaring and elementary workspace I nearly have to squint

C'mon, Corel guys/gals, check it out.

You know what I'm talking about.

Please. Help me on this.

WordPerfect for Android

pgreen — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:10:49 GMT

While I realize I'm not the first person to make this request, but a WordPerfect editor/reader for Android would be very helpful. I have already bought the iPad version (for my iPad, of course), but would like the same capability on my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus. With its huge screen (4.65"), it is really a small tablet computer. It even has native VPN capability, but if I cannot open the documents, its utility is limited.

SPELL CHECK

CRASHMAN — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:08:05 GMT

IN WINDOWS 7 AND PROBABLY XP

The spell check window actually gives a smaller font than the document.

Since one of the key features of any word processor is the ability to spell check, i think the spell check window should have a font choice to make fonts much larger. This would speed up spell check, make it more accurate and be a leg up on Microsoft. Many of my clients are complaining about this.

Apparently with all the cost of writing X5 someone cheaped out, used the windows API and missed this important need. There is no tweak I can find.

Enlarding the window for "open file" on Wordperfect 10

wordperfectman03 — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 19:42:51 GMT

Whenever I go to "open file", the window is really small and I am unable to make it larger. I want to enlarge it the same way you do to a regular windows file folder when you have the cursor at the very tip of the box to make it smaller/larger. I am currently running windows vista on it. I have wordperfect 10 on a pc running windows xp and it resizes the window just fine but for some reason it only does this on Vista, is there a way to fix it?

Thanks!

Wordperfect 10 crashes after creating a header

wordperfectman03 — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 19:38:38 GMT

Whenever I am typing in wordperfect 10 and go to create a header, the whole program freezes and I cannot access the document anymore. Usually after I start typing in the second line of the header is when it starts to freeze. Is there a way to fix this? I'm currently running windows xp.

How to insert a Table of Contents after the endnotes

MarcP — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:14:06 GMT

Is it possible ? In French, the TOC is usually placed at the very end of a document. I am unable to do that with WPO X5. Has anybody an answer ? Thanks.

Default font on retrieving WP5.1 file

Alexander Scott — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:41:30 GMT

WP5.1 documents have a default font ("Initial Base Font", set under Format: Document), but WP X5 does not pick this up on opening WP5.1 documents - it merely applies the universal (all docs) default font. On the other hand, MS Word (at least up to 2002) DOES pick up a WP5.1 document's default font (and updates to closest new equivalent where necessary, usually correctly) on opening, so one would expect Corel WP to manage it ...!

PLEASE could someone fix this?

WordPerfect For Mac OS X

RGStutz — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 03:05:25 GMT

Oh when, oh when, can we have WordPerfect for Mac. Why, oh why, is Corel leaving us loyal WP users in the wilderness? I love WP, but Corel could care less about us. I don't think it's because they're Canadians. What is the reason?

Printer paper source issue

Resizing reveal codes window

Ralph Boardman — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 02:28:38 GMT

Having recently retired from an office using WP10 (Cdn government - always several versions behind the latest in any software it uses) I bought the X5 version to use at home. The reveal codes window in WordPerfect opens up showing the number of lines of codes the software thinks I want to see; not the number I would like to see.

I can resize the window manually, which seems to work for any dociuments I open or start anew in that session. However once I close the program the next time I open it, the window is back at the old setting. Is there any way to get the program to accept my preferred reveal codes window size as the default?
