Here is information about the latest upgrade to a great word processor.
It is part of my new system.  I have tried the word correction feature

WHY DOS 6.1?

WordPerfect  for DOS topped $100 million in 1994 and is

operation.

Product Description

     WordPerfect  6.1 for DOS is a high-powered word
     processor designed to help you write better and work
     smarter. WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS offers both graphical
and character modes to help you create documents with a
professional, customized touch. Both modes give you the
powerful word processing capabilities that WordPerfect       is
known for. WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS offers the best
     of both word processing worlds: the ability to choose
     between the look and feel of WYSIWYG in a graphical
     interface, or the familiar clear screen with the
     functionality and usability of WordPerfect for Windows
all with the dependability and efficiency of the DOS
     environment, which requires less memory and processing
power.  Common uses include everything from basic word
processing tasks to complex publishing projects, with
     the ability to import files on the fly from numerous
     word processing, graphics, and spreadsheet formats.


New Features

Templates
     Create several impressive documents, from calendars and
Fax cover sheets to newsletters and resumes, with
     several ready-made documents or templates.

Open As Copy
     Use an existing document as the starting point for a
     new one, without worrying about accidentally Changing
     or deleting the original.

Histories
     See a menu list of the last 10 selections used in
     Envelopes, File Manager, Graphics, Merge, Search and
          Replace, and Sort, and other areas.

Make It Fit
     When a fax, letter, newsletter, or term paper is too
     long (or too short!), you can use WordPerfect to
     automatically vary any combination of line spacing,
     type size, and margins to expand or condense your
     document to fit the desired number of pages.

Drop Caps
     Use distinctively-designed letters to decorate text at
the beginning of a paragraph or section of text.

FEATURES!

QuickCorrect
     Automatic error correction on the fly. QuickCorrect
     watches your typing and corrects errors as you go.
     Use its pre-defined list, and add  other words and
     terms anytime you want.

QuickFormat
     Copy fonts, attributes, and paragraph styles from one
     block to another to insure consistency throughout
     your document, practically without effort.

     context-sensitive menus by clicking on various areas
     of the screen.

          "What Do You Really Think About WP 6.1 For DOS?"
                    Quotes From Our Beta Sites



"What do I like best? Where do I stop? Easy faxing with almost
any fax modem. The lightning fast QuickFinder to locate anything.
Fancy but easy text manipulation tools like Drop Caps. Dragging
graphics and even text with the mouse. Make It Fit is terrific
for expanding or contracting documents. Hypertext help links to
quickly get whatever info needed to do the job. Pop-up terms so
you don't have to understand "computerese" to do a simple job.
Where do I stop?

       Templates! Templates! Templates! I can't say enough about
templates and their personal information sets for quick
effortless creation of speciality documents.

"This is the single most important breakthrough for WordPerfect
for DOS users since the macro. No more calling on an expert to
create business cards or other fancy layouts. Business users will
appreciate the ability to create custom templates to create
standardized, goof-proof, reports and forms. Home users will be
able to make everything from greeting cards to tri-fold brochures
without any training.

"Business users would have a very difficult time finding a word
processor that has more overall suitability in a working world
that is increasingly multinational and inter-connective.  In
addition to its elegant power, WordPerfect 6.1 is the Rosetta
Stone of word processors. With 6.1 for DOS you're all set to plug
into any language and computer format. Conversions to other word
processing formats are quick and automated so that almost any
document can be loaded into WordPerfect 6.1. And 6.1 for DOS
documents can be saved in all the most popular formats so that
file sharing with customers and peers is simply not a problem."
Thomas M. Canady
New York State Department of Vocational and Educational Services
for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID)

"QuickCorrect and Make It Fit are my favorite additional and most
used new features. Faster than 6.0 (redraw in graphics mode),
plus easy to use. Try it, you'll love it! Even under Windows 95,
it runs with no problem."
Jan Groshan

"The new features, the speed, the ease of use, and the familiar
WP DOS interface, QuickCorrect, QuickFormat, QuickMenus, improved
fax facilities. DOS is not dead, and WP for DOS 6.1 is probably
the best reason to stay with DOS. It's fast and loaded with
features. You'll find yourself wondering how you could have ever
lived without it!" Alan Fromm
President, AZF Communications
