Installation

To install WideOpen for Wordperfect, do the following:

1. Copy WIDEN14.EXE to your Windows directory (e.g. c:\windows)

2. Copy WIDEOPEN.WPT to your Wordperfect template directory (e.g. c:\office\wpwin\template)

3. Select Preferences from the Edit menu and double click on File. Click on the Template radio button (near the upper left corner.) Select the default template field and type WIDEOPEN.WPT. Click OK and close.

4. Restart WordPerfect and WideOpen should be enabled.

Using WideOpen

Whenever you select Open, Save, or SaveAs from the file menu, WideOpen will automatically use the standard Windows 95 dialogs, with full support for long filenames and so forth. That's all there is to; there are no additional steps that you need to take. WideOpen will also ensure that documents that you open in WordPerfect appears in the Documents menu on the start button.

There is one little trick... if you hold down select while choosing Open or Save you will be given the original WordPerfect dialogs, if for some reason you need to access a feature of those dialogs.

Uninstalling WideOpen

If you want to disable WideOpen, you can do so by right clicking on the menu bar and selecting "<WPWIN 6.1 Menu>" instead of the WideOpen menu. You can re-enable it by doing the reverse. To permanantly remove WideOpen, follow step 3 above except type STANDARD.WPT, delete WIDEOPEN.WPT from the template directory and WIDEN14.EXE from your windows directory.
