Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 You need to highlight the paragraph you want to move by hitting F12 (block on), then highlight paragraph w/ your arrow key, hit control F4, hit 1 (copy), then hit 1 again (move). Then go to where you want to put your paragraph and hit enter. I use this all the time because my wonderful docs like to change things around too!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Not me, Deb. All I use at this point is MS Word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rennie - Student Member of AAMT 46/Texas/nulligravida Career Step Student www.careerstep.com Current Specialty: Studying Applied Medical Terminology (Orthopedics) and Beginning Transcription ~Find a job you love and you will never have to work again.~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- > Hi.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 I don't use it by choice. It is what my subcontractor requires that I use. She likes it for some reason so that is what we have to use. I use MS Word for my local accounts. When I first got this account and she told me I would have to use WP 5.1, I was cringing because the program is such a dinosaur, but now that I have been using it, I don't mind it. It is not that bad. I still think Word is a better program. When I had to switch from WP 5.1 to Word about five years back, I was cringing then too and thought I would never get used to Word. I have now adapted myself to both and frankly I am glad that I have because a lot of doctor's offices and hospitals use WP 5.1 because they don't keep up w/ modern technology. I think it is good to know a variety of word processing programs.

WordPerfect 5.1 was the most nearly perfect word processing program that the world had known when it was introduced back in the late 80s, and I hated to see it replaced--I was a WP5.1 " power user " and, having taught Displaywrite 4, Displaywrite 36, WordStar in several versions, and WordPerfect 4.2 and 5.0, I was a die-hard user who resisted both Word and Windows as long as possible (can you hear the chorus singing " Alleluia! " in the background?). However, the technology has been surpassed, and even those who don't want to run Windows can run WordPerfect 2000 under Corel Linux or Red Hat Linux. So why continue to use WP5.1? Since I'm probably the only person who wonders about that, I'd appreciate answers off list.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Well, I have to use wp5.1 because believe it or not, the hospital I work for still uses it for dictation. I switch back and forth all day, because my electronic dictionary/PDR is in windows but still type out of dos 5.1. Makes life interesting. I tried working out of wp9 and when I converted it down, it looked okay to me but when I emailed it to them, they did not like it. How did they know, still have not figured that one out.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Yeah Val, you are right. I did save it as a 5.1 file. It is beyond me how they knew. I even went into 5.1 and retrieved the file and read it all of the way through and it was fine. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
