Justification:
WordPerfect does not automatically show a menu with quick-buttons to justify your paragraphs in a certain way. To choose from the available justifications (left, center, right, full), select Format >> Justification.

Spell Check:
WordPerfect has a built-in spelling checker that you can run on individual words (simply highlight them) or your entire document. Select Tools >> Spell Checker (or press the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+F1). It's always a good idea to pay careful attention to the spell checker, and not to fully rely on it; it's very possible that the spell checker may overlook a word that's spelled correctly, but is not the correct word to be used!

QuickCorrect:
WordPerfect's "QuickCorrect" is a tool that will automatically correct minor spelling mistakes you may make in the process of typing your document. Spellings such as "teh" will automatically be changed to "the." You can view the entire list of "QuickCorrect" words (as well as add/delete your own) by selecting Tools >> QuickCorrect.

Show Paragraph Marks:
Select View >> Show Paragraphs to have WordPerfect show the hidden coding behind your text. Paragraph marks will be noted by the appropriate symbol.

Zoom:
To get either a closer or further view of your document, select View >> Zoom, and make the selection of your choice.

Lines:
If for some reason you want to insert a line into your document (for example, to separate two sections) select Insert >> Line. You can choose either a horizontal or vertical line.

Saving:
WordPerfect serves several functions. You can use it as you would a traditional word processing program, or you can use it as a type of "WYSIWYG" (What You See Is What You Get) web page editing program. By "saving as HTML" (File >> Save, HTML) what you are essentially doing is telling WordPerfect what the page should look like (your design of the document), which WordPerfect then takes and saves in the appropriate coding for (HTML). This may be an option for simple web pages, but if you are serious about making a page, or want to do one on a large scale, you may be interested in learning Macromedia Dreamweaver.
