WordPerfect? - Viva

Posted: Jul 28, 2010

I have MS Word, always have, never worked with WordPerfect. Now I see many ads requiring WordPerfect for transcription work. Is it a hard system to learn?

Ahh - the Blue screen - Not hard to learn

I was the opposite of you -- Always worked with WordPerfect and had to switch to Word.

It's not a hard program to learn at all. It works the same as Word. You just have to get used to the function keys. It has autocorrect for shortcuts, my Shorthand worked with it, if I didn't want to use the Autocorrect, you can bold in it, center items, number lists, everything we can do in word.

Just learn your function keys for WordPerfect.

I miss using it.

Not sure if an update ran or what, but now when I convert the document from WP5.1 to Word all the tabs disappear. Also, I use Sylcount for WP5.1 and I have a few girls that help me type who type in Word so I convert the word document to a WP5.1 file to save for counting purposes, even though it is sent to the doctor ...

Mistake of working for friend doing subcontracting. I am paid 13 cpl but very hard to hear doctor; it's on tape, takes forever to type. Main issue is that she says I should use Wordperfect's line count, but when I recently compared it to my line counter, Practicount, there is a difference - not huge but enough that it's bothering me. Question is does anyone know if Wordperfect's line counting is correct and includes spaces? TIA. ...

Hi everyone, I use both Word and WordPerfect. I have autocorrect entries in both Word and WordPerfect that I would like to transfer over to PC Shorthand. Since I'm new to PC shorthand, I've been reading it over. I know with PC Shorthand we can use the SHCNV.EXE to convert autocorrect. My problem is that I am at a loss as to what the Word and WordPerfect auto correct entires are labeled or where they are stored in my computer. I did a search and for Word Perfe ...
