| Most programs are designed
to start with something, usually the size and orientation of the paper,
the font style and size, etc. These are considered the DEFAULT settings.
Most default settings can be changed to cater to your own personal needs.
As an example, let say you generally write long letters and are often
end up with a two page letter and only a couple of lines on the second
page. In a situation like that, you might consider changing the default
margins settings to 3/4" (0.75).
The following are WordPerfect's default settings

| On a new document the cursor will be located at the beginning of the document, type the text | TOP
of page |
| If the text/characters
you want to delete is/are to the right of the
cursor
Press the Delete key. If the text/characters
you want to delete is/are to the left
of the cursor
When words have to be deleted, try the shortcut
method
If a large amount of text is to be deleted.

| Once you have created a document, you will want
to save it, so that you can go back and edit at a future date.
Use Save As to save a document with a new name. If you have already saved a file, this procedure will allow you to tear a file apart without having to worry about loosing any past work. You can also save the file to a different directory, or save it in a different format. |
|||
| You should use Save periodically to avoid losing your work if a power or system failure occurs. The Backup features (default = 10 min) also helps avoid losing your work if the computer crashes. | |||
