More Formatting:

Paragraph Spacing:
To access the Paragraph formatting options, navigate to the menu bar, and select Format >> Paragraph >> Format. A window will appear with options for modifying spacing and indenting. Here, you can choose to make the text in your document single or double spaced, as well as edit the margins for the document.

You can also format the margins of your document by selecting Format >> Margins from the menu (keyboard shortcut >> Ctrl+F8).

Headers/Footers:
Headers and footers are important aspects of a WordPerfect document if you wish to include information (such as page numbers and name credits) on every page. To access the header and footer options, go to the menu bar and select Insert >> Header/Footer. You can create up to two of either a header or a footer, or both (meaning that you can have two levels of extra space, either at the top or bottom of a page, in which to add this extra information which is outside of the paragraph flow). To add text in the Header or the Footer, simply click the cursor inside either one of the boxes, and type the text you want.

If you wish to insert the page number into your header, select Format >> Page >> Insert Page Number. WordPerfect will automatically keep track of which page you are on, and will update the page number accordingly.

Inserting an Image:
In WordPerfect, it's possible to add clipart or other images to a document. Click the cursor in your document where you wish to place an image. Then, go to the menu bar and select Insert >> Graphics. You can choose either "Clipart" or "From File" for pre-created images from WordPerfect's "Clipart" files, or even insert an image that you may have on your computer. "Draw Picture" will bring up a new window in which you can "draw" your own picture as you would using simple programs like Microsoft Paint.
