HELP using WordPerfect

All of our public machines are currently loaded with WordPerfect 8 for word processing. Access it from the start menu as shown in the photo below:

Hints

• If you plan to save or load documents from floppy, use the Disk Mounter tool beforehand. The floppy appears at /mnt/floppy.
• If you are logged on as either "patron" or "student" your documents will be deleted when you log out unless you move them to a floppy or take some other steps to put them somewhere safe. Emailing them is one way to preserve them.

We will eventually try to get more online documentation, but this is not a high priority since a) WP8 has pretty good online help and b) each library branch has a copy of the full printed documentation for WP8 which should be located near your current location. If you cannot see it, just ask the staff to help track it down. It is not available for checkout so if it cannot be located we will put in a request for a replacement.
