Corporate Profile
Corel Corporation provides its customers with the creative tools they need to unleash their imaginations.
With its heritage of software innovation and a solid franchise of loyal customers worldwide, Corel has earned
its reputation as an internationally recognized developer of award-winning graphics and business productivity
applications on the Windows®, Macintosh®, Linux®, and UNIX® platforms. In 2001, Corel will continue to
broaden its support of the Web, while delivering the Internet’s versatility to customers through exciting Web-based
applications, content, and services. Corel will also be developing applications for Microsoft’s .NET platform as part
of its commitment to provide customers with a full range of applications and services over the Internet.
Launched in January 2001, Corel’s new corporate strategy builds on the company’s core strengths and repositions it
for long-term growth and profitability. Three cornerstones form the basis of Corel’s business philosophy—Dynamic
Technology, Dedication to the Customer, and Disciplined Financial Management. With a blueprint for the future that includes a
solid foundation, a clear plan, and growth through strategic investments and acquisitions, Corel aims to achieve a
compounded annual growth rate of at least 20 percent over the next three years. By capitalizing on its standing as a
global technology leader, Corel will enhance customer relationships and target new customers in emerging markets,
especially those related to the Web. Corel will also continue to support and develop its renowned products and
services—most notably its award-winning brands CorelDRAW® and WordPerfect®—as it pursues opportunities in
new, high-growth and high-yield markets.
Over the short term, Corel is focused on upgrading customers to new versions of its flagship applications—
CorelDRAW 10 and WordPerfect Office 2002— and releasing new versions of Corel® KnockOut (masking
software), Corel® Painter™, Bryce®, KPT®, and CorelDRAW 10 Graphics Suite for the Macintosh platform. Over
the long term, Corel’s advanced technologies incubator, the New Ventures division, will aggressively drive research
and development opportunities in the Creative Products arena to generate new revenue streams for the company.
Corel will use its expertise in the graphics arena to capitalize on these new opportunities.
Corel’s Business Applications group and WordPerfect Office Suite are integral components of the company’s
blueprint for success. With a devoted following of WordPerfect customers, Corel will continue to develop and
support English versions of this award-winning suite for North American and international markets. Corel’s
commitment to its WordPerfect customers will also be reflected in targeted sales and marketing programs aimed at
rewarding customer loyalty through preferred pricing and licensing options. The company will also take advantage
of premium sales channels to serve professional customers in small- to medium-sized businesses.
In 2000, Corel followed up the success of its user-friendly desktop operating system, Corel® LINUX® OS with
Linux editions of CorelDRAW and WordPerfect, as well as an enhanced version of the OS itself. The company’s
expanding vision for Linux includes providing customers with a bundled solution that minimizes the total cost of
ownership and eliminates integration issues. To realize this vision and increase the value of its Linux equity for
customers and shareholders, Corel is continuing to develop applications for Linux while pursuing opportunities to
spin off the distribution element of its Linux division.
With its headquarters in Ottawa, Canada, Corel remains one of Silicon Valley North’s most exciting and influential
software companies. Corel’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol CORL and on the Toronto
Stock Exchange under the symbol COR.

Executive Summary
The WordPerfect® suite of applications is a state-of-the-art, award-winning tradition in business software.
Corel’s goal with its newest WordPerfect Office release, WordPerfect Office 2002, is to continue to develop
powerful new features and provide an exceptional level of stability, usability, and performance, while ensuring
compatibility not only with competing office suites but also with emerging industry standards, such as PDF,
HTML, CSS, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), and XML.
Users often provide feedback on Corel products, telling Corel what they would like to see in the next version,
and the WordPerfect Office 2002 development team paid attention. As a result of customer feedback, many
existing features have been enhanced and new features added; in fact, seventy per cent of the changes made
were based on the product suggestions of users. In addition, the development team performed rigorous
product testing with real users to better identify which areas could be enhanced and to test new features for
ease of use, performance, and accessibility. The key focus areas for the development of WordPerfect Office
2002 were choice, compatibility, and performance.
Choice
With over 22 million users in North America1 and a strong international user base, the award-winning
WordPerfect Office suite of business applications is the choice of users around the globe. WordPerfect
Office 2002 provides a wide range of features and tools in a single, stable, easy-to-use package. Users can take
advantage of new and enhanced collaborative tools, including the new email application and Groupware
calendar capabilities in CorelCENTRAL™ 10, and they will enjoy enhancements to their favorite features,
such as Tables in WordPerfect 10 and Charts in Quattro® Pro 10.
Corel wants all users, regardless of their level of ability, to be able to work in the manner in which they are
most comfortable, whether that is with the keyboard or a mouse, with sounds on or off, or with their own
combination of toolbars, keyboard shortcuts, and other customizations. To meet this goal, the WordPerfect
Office 2002 development team added a number of usability enhancements to the suite. As a result,
WordPerfect Office 2002 addresses and incorporates the demands made by various levels of government,
large-scale international corporations, and other worldwide sources to make software and hardware solutions
accessible to individuals of any age and ability2. It includes standard keyboard access, icons, sound, display,
field labeling, and documentation to make software applications accessible. In addition, Corel is working with

other software and hardware vendors to ensure that their accessibility aids, such as screen readers, work with
WordPerfect Office 2002 components.
Compatibility
Corel is committed to delivering a comprehensive office solution focused on corporate compatibility. Corel’s
definition of compatibility extends beyond file compatibility with other office solutions. The primary goal
behind WordPerfect Office 2002 is to increase compatibility with open standards, de facto standards, and
competing technologies, because many work environments demand file exchange with internal or external
contacts who do not use the same software. By achieving compatibility with industry standards and
third-party technologies, Corel gives its customers the flexibility to create an ideal software setup that includes
the best technology available without being locked into a single proprietary solution.
Specifically, WordPerfect Office 2002 has achieved a high level of compatibility with Microsoft® Office 97,
Microsoft Office 2000, and Microsoft Office XP. Corel’s productivity tools use Microsoft® Visual Basic® for
Applications scripting to develop scripts and programs that can interact with other products using this
scripting. WordPerfect Office 2002 also supports Open Document Management API (ODMA) standards,
making it compatible with document management applications, such as iManage™, DOCS Open®,
GroupWise®, and WORLDOX®.
In addition, WordPerfect 10 and Corel® Presentations™ 10 have enhanced the popular Publish To PDF
feature, letting users export files to PDF, the de facto document standard for the Internet, in a single step.
WordPerfect Office 2002 uses CSS to give users the ability to convert professional-looking documents for
Web use.
Users upgrading from an earlier version of the WordPerfect Office suite or one of its applications will find
the migration to WordPerfect Office 2002 virtually seamless. WordPerfect Office 2002 continues to use the
same file formats as earlier versions to ensure backwards compatibility, letting users open and use documents
created with earlier versions and share files with users who have not yet upgraded.
Performance
Customer research indicates that most users are satisfied with the existing features in WordPerfect Office.
However, Corel’s experienced user-interface designers have been working to enhance the usability of existing
features. In some cases, a more streamlined interface was all that was needed to improve workflow and
ease-of-use. In other instances, features were completely reengineered to add new functionality to increase
performance.
Users’ favorite features are still in WordPerfect Office 2002 to help maximize productivity. For example,
Reveal Codes, a display window that allows users to see and directly manipulate the codes that affect a
document, places power and control over formatting directly in the hands of the user. Corel® RealTime
Preview lets users preview formatting changes before applying them to a document. Users can scroll
through and preview several different formatting options, such as fonts, lines, tables, and more. Corel
RealTime Preview saves users valuable time by reducing the need to undo and redo unsatisfactory

formatting changes. WordPerfect Office 2002 also provides PerfectExpert™ to help users with many
common tasks. PerfectExpert combines the best features of QuickTask™, templates, and Coaches from
earlier versions of the WordPerfect Office suite of applications. PerfectExpert can guide users through
everyday tasks, such as inserting a clipart image, or through more complex and detailed projects, such as
creating a résumé.
The WordPerfect development team concentrated on making the engines that power the software more
robust and self-correcting, virtually eliminating downtime because of application failures. WordPerfect Office
2002 includes utilities such as the Corel Application Recovery Manager, which helps users recover from
most application failures without losing their work, and the Location Manager, which makes sure the
applications can start without errors, even when key program files are damaged or missing. WordPerfect
Office 2002 can also record important information about any application failures, and users can send Corel a
report of these failures over the Internet. This gives the WordPerfect Office 2002 development team an
understanding of real-world use of WordPerfect Office 2002, which they can use to make better decisions for
future products and enhancements.
In WordPerfect 10, a number of new features have been added to tables, giving users more control over the
tables and formulas in a document. WordPerfect 10 also has a new feature, Variables, that lets users insert a
variable, or placeholder, in multiple locations in a document and have the application automatically fill in all
instances of the variable with whatever text the user specifies.
Quattro Pro 10 now includes the AutoScroll tool, giving users functionality that is similar to that of the
Microsoft® IntelliMouse® with their regular mouse. Significant enhancements to charting make charts easier
to create and more customizable. Quattro Pro 10 helps users choose the best chart for their data with the
Advisor, and the Chart Expert guides users through the required chart options in four steps.
Corel Presentations 10 now includes support for Macromedia Flash™, MP3 and WMA sounds, and animated
GIFs, as well as TrueDoc® font-embedding technology and font-matching capabilities. Paradox® 10 has a
number of new graphics and file filters to help users import pictures and text from a wide variety of formats,
and the new Hotkeys feature for forms lets users define keyboard combinations that trigger actions.
WordPerfect Office 2002 has increased integration between the main applications, which reduces the learning
curve and makes it easier for users to incorporate multiple applications in their workflow. WordPerfect Office
2002 also has advanced graphics capabilities to help users add images and drawing to documents without
learning a separate graphics application. Enhancements to the charting tools in Quattro Pro 10 let users
represent data graphically with the professional-quality results of a sophisticated digital illustration package,
such as CorelDRAW®.
In addition, Corel has integrated Dragon NaturallySpeaking® with the WordPerfect Office 2002 Professional
Edition. Users can format documents by using standard edit commands or by accessing an application’s
menu and dialog boxes by voice. As well, users can access Internet features using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
Users are able to browse the Web and dictate into Post Office Protocol (POP) email programs by speaking.

that deliver power and control to users in their daily work.

accessible, users with special needs must be able to identify where they are in the application, determine what
operations can be performed at that point, and access all the major features of the application.
Corel is committed to ensuring that all individuals, including those with disabilities or special needs, find
Corel products as easy to use as possible. Corel is a proud supporter of accessible software that promotes
quality of life, employability, and independence for individuals with disabilities.
WordPerfect Office 2002 meets the following aspects of accessibility in software design:
• keyboard access — providing access to program tools and features from the keyboard and documenting
keyboard access to all features and commands
• keyboard focus — providing an obvious focal point and a logical tabbing order among fields, text boxes,
menus, and screens when navigating using a keyboard
• system settings for keyboards — supporting operating system accessibility features for keyboard input,
such as StickyKeys and FilterKeys
• keyboard focus location — providing assistive software, such as screen readers, with the keyboard focus
location
• high contrast — supporting operating system accessibility features for high-contrast display
• system settings for size — supporting operating system accessibility features for display size settings
• alternatives for sounds — providing visual cues as an alternative to sound events
• system settings for timings — supporting operating system accessibility features for timings and animation,
and allowing the user to control the parameters of timed responses
• system settings for mouse — providing compatibility with specified mouse input settings
Accessible installation: WordPerfect Office 2002 features an installation program that can be completely
controlled using a keyboard and that can interact with assistive software, such as screen readers, allowing
individuals with special needs to access the options and commands presented during the installation process.
Dictating text: WordPerfect Office 2002 Professional Edition includes a powerful voice dictation application,
Dragon NaturallySpeaking, that lets users create and format text or data in WordPerfect Office 2002 by

speaking to their computer. Users can enter text and apply formatting without using a keyboard or mouse.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking features a high level of speed and accuracy, and because of its ability to learn, its
speed and accuracy improve with each use. Users can also dictate to popular email applications with Dragon
NaturallySpeaking and use the software to browse the Web.
Creating custom interfaces: WordPerfect Office 2002 has customization features that let users create a unique
workspace with the display options and settings they prefer. Users can create and modify toolbars, the
property bar, the application bar, menus, and keyboard shortcuts. Users can also rename or rearrange
commands and toolbar buttons, and they can assign their own keyboard shortcuts for commands. Using the
scripting languages included with WordPerfect Office 2002, users can also create custom dialog boxes to
simplify complex tasks or add extra functionality to the applications.
Simplifying complex or repetitive tasks: WordPerfect Office 2002 includes three powerful scripting languages:
PerfectScript, ObjectPAL, and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. Users can automate repetitive tasks or
simplify complex tasks by creating macros in one of those languages. Users can also create macros that work
between applications. For example, a macro could generate a report from Paradox 10 and then perform a
Merge to a WordPerfect 10 document with the resulting data. Users can assign a macro to a toolbar button
or a keyboard shortcut, letting them trigger the macro with a single click or keyboard command. An easy way
to create a macro is to record a task. When users record a macro, the application converts actions into macro
commands. These macro commands are stored until the user needs them again. Users can save macros to use
repeatedly and even share them with other users.
Security
Today’s Internet environment has created an unprecedented need for protecting software assets. Corel
recognizes that today’s discerning office suite user demands security features that maximize the safety of their
resources. With this in mind, WordPerfect Office 2002 contains a number of flexible and easy-to-use security
mechanisms to safeguard the resources of users.
Guard against unwanted changes: Users can protect documents from being changed in two ways: users can either
open a document as a read-only copy, or users can assign a password to a document. When a document has
been opened as a read-only copy, users cannot overwrite the original document if they make changes; they are
forced to save the document with a new name. When a document has a password, users must type the correct
password to open the document.
PerfectScript security: WordPerfect Office 2002 includes security features to protect users against unwanted and
possibly viral macros created using PerfectScript. If a template or document contains macros that will be
triggered without direct user action, such as macros that play automatically when a document opens,
WordPerfect Office 2002 will alert users to the presence of the macro and prompt them for action. This
allows users to disable automatically triggered macros they do not trust.
Protect against macro viruses: WordPerfect Office 2002 uses a security mechanism, based on digital signatures, that
can help users protect their computers from macro viruses. These security settings let users control the
security level used when opening documents and templates containing Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications macros. WordPerfect Office 2002 provides three levels of security to users (Low, Medium, and
May 2001
15
®
F E A T U R E
G U I D E
High), allowing users, IT managers, and network administrators to choose the security level that best suits
their needs. Users can set the level of security used by WordPerfect Office 2002 on their local computer, or
network administrators can control the security settings for all users on a network.
Ensure email remains private: CorelCENTRAL Mail provides users with secure Internet email by using the
industry standard Secure Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) encryption and authentication
technology. This ensures that users’ email messages are private, even when sent over the Internet.
CorelCENTRAL Mail provides two security functions for email messages: message encryption and the ability
to add a digital signature to a message to ensure authenticity. If a received email message is encrypted, users
can view a decryption report. Users can set general security defaults in their user profile, and they can set
security settings specific to individual recipients in the CorelCENTRAL Address Book. Upon receiving an
email message with a digital signature, users can verify the authenticity of that email message.
Common Features
A number of features and utilities are common to all the applications in WordPerfect Office 2002.
Increased productivity: The Corel Application Recovery Manager helps users recover from most application
failures without losing their work. The Corel Application Recovery Manager can often correct the
problem and keep the application running, giving users a chance to save their work or even continue working
as if the error had not happened. This increases user productivity by preventing time-wasting efforts such as
restarting the computer, salvaging lost information, and recreating effects in a lost or partially lost document.
Paradox 10 does not use the Corel Application Recovery Manager, as it already has built-in application
recovery features.
Comprehensive real-world testing: The Corel Application Recovery Manager notes important information
about application failures allowing users to initiate a report over the Internet and send this information to
Corel. By receiving reports about problems that users encounter in day-to-day situations, the development
team can correct the problems real-world users encounter, which helps give WordPerfect Office 2002 an
unprecedented level of performance.
Error-free startups: The Location Manager utility, a component of the Corel Application Recovery
Manager, makes sure the WordPerfect Office 2002 applications can start without errors, even when files are
missing or damaged. When a user starts a WordPerfect Office 2002 application, the Location Manager
ensures that all the required files are present on the user’s computer. If a file is missing (due to being moved,
renamed, or deleted by the user or by another application) or is damaged, the Location Manager repairs the
problem by replacing the file. This means that instead of receiving an error message and not being able to
launch the application, the Location Manager will automatically repair the problem and the application will
start as expected. This greatly reduces downtime and virtually eliminates the need to call technical support for
errors caused by missing or damaged application files.
Minimized hard disk space: Install As You Go™ lets users minimize the hard disk space required by WordPerfect
Office 2002 applications. Users can avoid wasting valuable hard disk space on applications they do not use by
May 2001

F E A T U R E
G U I D E
installing only the applications and utilities they need, as they need them. If users select a noninstalled item,
the application automatically prompts users if they would like to install it.
Authoritative English-language dictionary: WordPerfect Office 2002 includes The Pocket Oxford Dictionary. The
Oxford English Dictionary has been the authoritative dictionary of the English language for more than a
century. The Pocket Oxford Dictionary provides the meaning and pronunciation of more than 30,000 words.
It has been integrated into the existing writing tools in WordPerfect Office 2002, giving users the ability to
look up word definitions and phonetic spellings and then add text to documents. In addition, users can
upgrade to a larger version of the dictionary and purchase other services offered by Oxford University Press.
Powerful development tools: The Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) is a powerful set of tools that lets developers
customize applications for commercial or business use. Developers can use the SDK to enhance the
functionality of WordPerfect Office 2002, to automate procedures, and to integrate other applications with
WordPerfect 10, Quattro Pro 10, and Corel Presentations 10. The tools included in the SDK have been
redesigned for WordPerfect Office 2002 and a new user interface lets developers access all the tools,
documentation, rewritten libraries, and sample code included in the SDK from a single application.
Access to the World Wide Web: Provided that users have an Internet connection, WordPerfect Office 2002 helps
customers access the information they need over the World Wide Web. Users can connect to
product-specific information, newsgroups, updates, technical support, and more using the new Corel
Connector included in WordPerfect Office 2002. Corel Connector is a thin Web client integrated into the
WordPerfect Office 2002 applications. Users can use Corel Connector, without leaving the WordPerfect
Office 2002 applications, to
• search for information on the World Wide Web using a search engine or portal
• browse the various Corel Web sites, including http://www.corel.com/ and
http://www.officecommunity.com/, or any other Internet or intranet site
• post questions and find answers from newsgroups, including the Corel newsgroups monitored by Corel
staff and C_Tech volunteers
• access technical support online, including the Corel Knowledge Base at http://kb.corel.com/
WordPerfect 10
®
WordPerfect 10 is a state-of-the-art tradition in word processing. During the development of WordPerfect
10, Corel incorporated suggestions from users for new features and listened to their feedback about existing
features. As well as enhancing popular features such as Corel® RealTime Preview, AutoScroll, and
Shadow Cursor to increase usability, the development team added a number of new features designed to
put exceptional power and control in the hands of the user. This has resulted in a powerful, easy-to-use,
robust application with a wide range of features and tools.
State-of-the-art Web publishing: Users can take advantage of the increased flexibility of the advanced page layout
and formatting features in CSS when converting WordPerfect documents for use on the World Wide Web,
giving users powerful Web-publishing capabilities.

Digital signatures: WordPerfect 10 supports digital signatures. A digital signature is an encrypted piece of
information that can be used to help users determine whether an object has been tampered with after being
signed. It also shows the user the most recent signature.
Correspondence and mass mailings: WordPerfect 10 lets users mass-produce letters, envelopes, mailing labels,
contracts, phone lists, memos, and more with the Merge feature. By merging a form document with a data
source, such as a Quattro Pro file or an address book, users can write a document once and have
WordPerfect 10 customize it with information from each record in the data source to create a new series of
documents. The Merge feature has been enhanced to provide users with a more streamlined workflow.
Control over document formatting: When users format a document, codes are inserted to indicate where the
formatting options begin and end and what properties apply. For example, when users make text bold, codes
for bold surround the text to indicate where formatting starts and stops. The popular Reveal Codes feature
gives users tremendous control over the formatting in documents. With the document window visible, users
can open a pane that displays the text of the document and the associated codes. Users can delete codes or
modify the properties of the codes, giving them control over every element of a document. The Ruler is
another powerful tool for controlling document formatting. Users can set margins and tabs on the ruler, and
create and move guidelines that help users position or reposition tables, margins, columns, headers, and
footers.
Ruler
Previewing formatting changes: Corel RealTime Preview lets users preview a formatting change before they
apply it to a document. Users can scroll through and preview many different formatting options, including
fonts, lines, tables, borders, and shading. Corel RealTime Preview saves users valuable time by reducing
the need to undo and redo unsatisfactory formatting changes. Corel RealTime Preview has been expanded
to work with more features. The new drop-down menu for Underline lets users select an underline style
quickly and easily, and Corel RealTime Preview lets users see how it will look in a document before they
apply it. Other features that now take advantage of Corel RealTime Preview include Drop Caps,
QuickFonts™, Outline, Bullets, and Numbering.

G U I D E
As users hover over an underline style in the Underline drop-down menu, Corel RealTime Preview displays
a preview of how that style will look when applied to the document.
Creating consistent formatting: The Text Styles feature ensures consistency within a document and between
multiple documents. Text Styles are collections of formatting attributes users can apply to selected text,
selected paragraphs, or to an entire document. Users can retrieve, copy, edit, and rename Text Styles, and
they can create their own styles either from scratch or from an existing style. By applying the same styles to
different documents, users ensure documents have a consistent look and feel, without having to open the
original document to make sure the formatting options are the same.
Managing long documents: WordPerfect 10 offers users tools to manage long documents, including books, term
papers, business reports, magazine articles, and more. Users can work with several small documents and link
them to a master document to efficiently create a long document. Users can also produce
professional-looking documents by using features, such as Table of Contents, Index, Lists,
Cross-References, Headers and Footers, Footnotes, Endnotes, Delay Codes, and counters, such as
chapter and page numbers, making managing long documents easy. The new Select Sections feature lets
users select a range of pages, chapters, or volumes quickly and easily.
• table of contents — A table of contents outlines a document, listing its chapters, sections, and headings.
Users can generate a table of contents for a single document or a master document. A table of contents
generated for a master document includes entries for all its subdocuments. Users can also create more than
one table of contents in a document; for example, users can create one table of contents for chapter titles
and another for document headings. Users can customize many aspects of a table of contents, including
the number of levels, layout, font, and other styles.

• index — An index gives the reader an efficient way to locate a specific topic by providing a list of the
important words in a document and where these words can be found. An index can include both headings
and subheadings, which can help the reader find specific or related information in various parts of the
document.
• cross-references — A cross-reference refers a reader to other pages, figures, and notes. When page
numbers, figure numbers, and endnote and footnote numbers change as users edit a document, the
references are updated when the user regenerates the document.
• headers and footers — Users can use headers and footers to display information, such as page
numbering, a chapter heading, a title, a date, a person's name, or a company name, at the top or bottom of
each page or on alternating pages in a document.
• footnotes and endnotes — Footnotes and endnotes allow users to provide more information about a
topic discussed in a document. Users can create footnotes, which display at the bottom of the page or
endnotes, which display at the end of the document. To do this, users insert a reference number in the text,
thereby linking that number to the corresponding text in the endnote or footnote. Because WordPerfect 10
automatically formats and updates footnotes and endnotes for users, they do not have to decide how much
text to type on the page or how much room they should leave for the footnote or endnote.
• delay codes — Users can insert and edit codes that take effect after a specified number of pages. If on
page 3, for example, users delay a code by two pages, the code takes effect on page 5. These are called
delay codes. Users can delay any open code. Open codes are codes used for Line Numbering, Fonts, Tab
Setting, and Margins. For example, if users want to use a letterhead for the first page of a document and
use blank paper for the rest of the document, they can set up the first page size and then place a second
page size in delay codes.
• counters — WordPerfect uses several built-in counters to keep track of pages, paragraphs, lines, figures,
and other numbered items in a document. Built-in system styles can be used to count equation boxes,
figure boxes, table boxes, text boxes, and user boxes. If these predefined numbering styles do not meet
users’ needs, users can define their own set of incremental numbers using counters.
Enhanced Tables
A number of new features have been added to tables in WordPerfect 10, giving users more control over the
tables and formulas in documents.
Identifying formulas: Users can add formulas and functions to tables using arithmetic and logical operators.
WordPerfect 10 has borrowed a popular feature from Quattro Pro, Cell Formula Markers. The new Cell
Formula Markers give users an easy way to tell if a table cell contains a formula and provides more options
for manipulating formulas. When users pause their pointer on a Cell Formula Marker, the cell’s formula
displays in a tool tip. Drag-and-drop functionality lets users easily copy formulas from one table cell to
another, while clicking a Cell Formula Marker displays the Formula toolbar.

Changing text to tables and tables to text: Users often need to incorporate data from other sources, such as a database
or mailing list, into a WordPerfect document. Often that data is not formatted in a presentable fashion.
WordPerfect 10 now gives users the ability to convert text to tables and to convert tables to text or to a
merge file. When converting tables to text, users can also specify the desired delimiter, or they can convert
the table to a merge data file with the option of designating the top row as a header row.

Creating complex tables: WordPerfect 10 helps users create tables that are ideal for any type of data. Users can
create a basic table, or they can use advanced table features to create more complex tables with features such
as slanted header rows and unmatched numbers of cells in each row or column. Users can join two tables
with the same number of columns into one large table, or they can split a table horizontally into two tables.
The QuickJoin feature lets users combine two cells or columns into a single cell. The new QuickSplit
feature lets users split cells or columns into two by clicking the spot where they want the split to occur, or
they can split a cell into rows and columns. Users can add visual interest to tables with the Skew feature,
which allows users to skew, or slant, the top row of a table or the left or right column. Users can also control
the skew angle and more.
Typing text or inserting clipart, text boxes, and tables anywhere: The Shadow Cursor is a thin gray line that appears
beside the cursor. The Shadow Cursor shows where the insertion point will be placed when users click the
mouse. When the Shadow Cursor displays in the white space of a document, users can click anywhere to
start typing text at that point. Users can also drag the Shadow Cursor to insert clipart, a text box, or a table.
New functionality has been added to the Shadow Cursor, and users can now place the insertion point
anywhere in a table cell and begin typing, instead of just at the beginning of the table cell.
Performance and Productivity
Navigating through documents: WordPerfect 10 includes a number of enhancements to the navigation controls,
giving users a wide variety of ways to move through a document. WordPerfect offers users many ways to save
time. For example, users can access many of the dialog boxes and commands by using keystrokes or by
clicking buttons on the various toolbars.

• AutoScroll tool — AutoScroll lets users scroll through a document quickly without using the arrow keys
or the scroll bars. The scrolling speed increases if users move the pointer further away from the
AutoScroll tool and decreases if they move the pointer closer. The AutoScroll tool gives users
functionality similar to that of the Microsoft IntelliMouse with their regular mouse.
• Browse — The Browse command, located on the vertical scroll bar, lets users browse through a
document by elements, including by page, by footnote, or by table. This tool has been expanded for
WordPerfect 10, giving users a number of new elements, including hyperlinks, bookmarks, redline,
strikeout, text boxes, equations, and many more. These new elements are also available in the Go To
dialog box.
• Previous and Next — The Previous and Next commands, located on either side of the Browse button,
let users select items with the Browse button, and then scroll to the previous or next item.
• Back and Forward — The Back and Forward commands, located on the horizontal toolbar, let users
move the insertion point to a previous position or back again. This function was designed to be similar to
the way users can move backwards and forwards within a Web browser.
• Keyboard shortcuts — Users can take advantage of keyboard shortcuts to access all of the menu
commands and features in WordPerfect 10. Users can also customize any of the keyboard shortcuts and
create buttons for other commands by using the Customize dialog box.
Writing and typing: WordPerfect 10 contains a number of features to help users create documents more
efficiently and accurately. Users often write a document before all of its content has been finalized. This can
lead to the user having to make multiple changes to a document when details such as titles, names, dates, or
times are changed. The new Variables feature in WordPerfect 10 automates this task, automatically changing
all instances of a particular word or paragraph. Users can create a variable (or placeholder) in the document
and then specify the content for that variable. Users can change the content of the variable at any time, and
WordPerfect 10 will automatically update all instances of that variable with the new content. This ensures that
users will not miss changes to documents.
Users can also use QuickWords™ to speed up typing. QuickWords stores an abbreviation for a word or a
section of text. When users type the abbreviation, QuickWords automatically expands it, making text entry
much faster than if the user had to type the entire word.
WordPerfect 10 provides tools to help users check spelling and grammar. Users can use Spell-As-You-Go™
and Grammar As-You-Go™ to correct and prevent spelling and grammar errors. Prompt As-You-Go™
helps users identify errors as they create documents by using a color coding system to identify the type of
error it encounters. Users can also use the SpeedLink™ feature to create hyperlinked text automatically.
Publishing to PDF: PDF files are platform-independent files that can be viewed, shared, and printed by Windows,
Linux, UNIX, and Macintosh-based computers. When users create a PDF file, they preserve the typography,
images, graphics, color, and formatting of the original publication. The Publish To PDF feature in
WordPerfect 10, already a powerful and popular feature that lets users create PDF files without needing

Distiller®, has been enhanced to be even more powerful. The Publish To PDF feature now supports
hyperlinks, and more.
Customizing keyboards: Many WordPerfect users use the Keyboard Editor to create or edit a custom keyboard
by assigning features, keystrokes, applications, or macros to keys on a keyboard. Now users can print a list of
the key assignments they created for their custom keyboard by using the Print Keyboard List command,
letting them have a printed reference to which they can refer anytime.
Print Keyboard List
Adding and controlling visual interest objects: WordPerfect 10 includes a number of features to help users make their
documents more visually interesting and control where they place elements, such as tables, drawings, or
clipart. Users can select an object or a group of objects and use the Align And Distribute feature to line
them up or spread them out evenly in relation to themselves, other objects, or the page. WordPerfect 10
contains on-screen alignment tools, such as the Ruler, Guidelines, and Ruler Guides to help users as they
work. The Ruler is used to display and edit page format elements, such as margins, tabs, and indentation.
Guidelines are horizontal and vertical nonprinting lines that help users align frames, graphic objects, and
text on a page. Ruler Guides are black dotted vertical lines that allow users to see where the Ruler is in
relation to the information on the page. The WordPerfect development team redesigned the Ruler controls
for WordPerfect 10, making them larger, more intuitive, and easier to use.

Reading on screen: Reading text on a computer monitor is not always easy. Sometimes the text is too small; other
times it is difficult to navigate a document to find a particular piece of information. WordPerfect 10 lets users
customize the way they view documents. Users can work with documents in four view modes: Draft,
Preview In Browser, Page, and Two Pages. Preview In Browser lets users create a temporary copy of
the current document in HTML to display it in a browser. Two Pages view offers the same display features
as Page view, but without zoom options; it displays two consecutive pages side by side in the same document
window. Users can also access Reveal Codes and the writing tools (including the Spelling Checker,
Dictionary, Grammatik, and Thesaurus) in Two Pages view, letting users correct both the document
format and the text. WordPerfect 10 gives users quick access to the Magnification tool in Page view, letting
users reduce or magnify the view of a document. Users can zoom in for a more detailed view of a section of a
document, or zoom out for a broader view. Users can also use the Select Sections feature to quickly and
easily select different parts of a document. For users who prefer to work in a more familiar way, WordPerfect
10 provides an option to select text in the style of WordPerfect 9.

Same file format, enhanced conversion capabilities: WordPerfect 10 continues to use the same file format as
WordPerfect 6.1, 7, 8, and 9 to ensure backwards compatibility. This lets users open and use documents
created with earlier versions of WordPerfect and exchange WordPerfect 10 files with users who are still using
earlier versions. By keeping the same file format, the WordPerfect development team was able to focus on
enhancing file compatibility with other word-processing applications, such as Lotus® Ami Pro® and
Microsoft® Word. WordPerfect users can now convert files to and from WordPerfect 10 in native file format,
without importing or exporting documents. WordPerfect 10 also lets users open and save Lotus and
Microsoft files in their native file formats.
Quattro Pro 10
®
Quattro Pro 10 is a spreadsheet application that lets users manage, analyze, report, and share data. It helps
users make informed business decisions by providing the tools users need to produce tables, financial forms,
lists, databases, charts, and reports. Like WordPerfect 10, Quattro Pro 10 lets users create a single file and
publish it to paper, electronic media, and the World Wide Web. As well as including all the powerful and
popular features from earlier versions, Quattro Pro 10 offers users new features, such as the AutoScroll
tool, and enhancements to existing features, such as charting. Users can organize information and create
professional-looking charts and reports with ease.
Timesaving features: Quattro Pro 10 has a number of features that can help users save time. The AutoScroll
tool lets users scroll through a large spreadsheet quickly, without using the arrow keys or scroll bars, giving
users the functionality of the Microsoft IntelliMouse with their regular mouse. Users can scroll through a
spreadsheet vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. To save users time when they are dealing with a large set
of files, such as linked files, Quattro Pro 10 lets users save or close all open files in one step with the
May 2001

F E A T U R E
G U I D E
Save All and Close All commands. Another timesaving feature is the Multiple Auto Row Height
feature, which gives users the ability to select multiple rows and have Quattro Pro 10 automatically calculate
the best height for each individual row.
Correcting mistakes: Quattro Pro 10 gives users the freedom and flexibility to experiment without worrying about
permanently altering a spreadsheet or having to start over. If users make a change to a spreadsheet and then
wish they hadn’t, they can undo the change. Users can undo the last few actions performed, redo those
actions if they choose, and use the undo history to identify the last commands performed and reverse
multiple actions in one step.
Customizing the workspace: Quattro Pro 10 lets users customize their workspace so that they can work in the way
in which they are most comfortable. Menus, shortcut keys, and toolbars can be tailored to suit users’ level of
experience and familiarity with earlier versions of Quattro Pro or with Microsoft® Excel and Lotus® 1-2-3®.
Customizing the workspace is particularly useful for new users who don’t require all the tools and features
displayed in the default desktop, letting them work in a leaner, cleaner work environment. In addition, users
can export and share customized workspaces with others.
Identifying formulas and more: Quattro Pro 10 marks cells with triangles known as Cell Markers to indicate the
presence of formulas and comments. Cell Markers allow users to see at a glance which cells contain
formulas or additional information. This is particularly helpful when using the Workgroups feature. When
users do a Compare with the Workgroups feature, Quattro Pro 10 adds a comment to cells that have been
changed. The Cell Markers for those comments allow users to identify changes that have been made to the
spreadsheet.
Formatting numbers: Users can format numeric information to make it easier to read. If users aren’t satisfied with
one of the preset numeric formats, they can use Custom Numeric Formatting to create a wide variety of
custom formats.
Formula tips: Users don’t have to memorize variables when creating complex formulas. Quattro Pro 10 helps
users enter formulas in cells by displaying tips that prompt the entry of the next variable.
Enhanced Dynamic Cross-Tab Reports: Complex, unwieldy spreadsheets require a great deal of navigation and
calculation to deliver meaningful information at a glance. Quattro Pro 10 lets users summarize large amounts
of data with a minimum of effort using the Dynamic Cross-Tab Reports. Users can move column and row
data around to analyze data at one level or drill down through successive layers to get a multidimensional
view in a cross-tabulated table.
Big notebooks: Quattro Pro 10 can accommodate large amounts of data, giving users power and flexibility when
importing vast amounts of data. A single Quattro Pro 10 notebook can contain 1,000,000 rows, 18,278
columns, and 18,278 sheets.
Enhancements to Charting
The charting engine in Quattro Pro 10 has been reengineered using customer feedback and suggestions to
give users the functionality they want. In addition, charting has more power, flexibility, and ease of use. Users
can customize more chart elements than ever before, and they can take advantage of features like rich text for

chart titles, error bars, and the advanced rendering and multiple light settings to produce professional-looking
results quickly and easily.
Error bars: The new Error Bars feature lets users graphically express the potential error amount for each data
point in a chart. These are used to determine the uncertainty of a data point. Horizontal bars above and
below a data point indicate the plus and minus values for the uncertainty of that data point.
Error bars
Full text control for titles: Quattro Pro 10 now lets users take advantage of rich text in a chart’s title. Users can edit
the font for individual characters, insert superscript and subscript characters, and apply font attributes, such
as bold, italic, underline, size, font face, and color.

are visible.
Transparent Data Series
Light settings: Users can set up to three different light sources for a chart, if the chart is using advanced
rendering. This has the effect of shining spotlights or adding ambient light to a chart. The end result is a
professional-looking chart that looks as if it had been created in a digital graphics illustration package, such as
CorelDRAW.

Analyzing data: The Trendlines feature adds a trendline to a chart. A trendline represents the data after it has
passed through an equation. The Analyze Series feature is similar to Trendlines except that Analyze
Series replaces the original series with a new series after it has passed through an equation. Users can choose
from eight different equations, such as a moving average, standard deviation, linear fit, and exponential fit,
giving them the ability to see how their data deviates from a particular trend. Four new analysis methods were
also added to Quattro Pro 10.
Custom templates: Users can save a chart as a custom template and then reuse that chart as many times as they
like. This lets users create a chart with a particular set of formatting options and then use those same
formatting options when they create new charts. Users can retrieve a custom template from the Chart Type
gallery.
Split Axis: The Split Axis feature lets users divide a chart into two sections, one with the series belonging to
the primary y-axis, the other with the series belonging to the secondary y-axis. This lets users quickly
distinguish data from two different y axes, making complex charts easier to read.
Flexible editing capabilities: The powerful charting tools in Quattro Pro 10 let users customize virtually all
elements of a chart with ease. All titles are fully editable and can be edited directly in the chart. Users can also
move any of the text objects in a chart, including individual labels. Series can be edited together in one step,
or users can edit individual risers to get the effect they want.
New chart types: Quattro Pro 10 includes four brand-new chart types and has enhanced High Low and Stock
charts, letting users select from a wider range of charts to ensure they get the chart that best represents their
data. The new chart types are Histogram, Gantt, 2-D Surface, and Pie Of A Pie.
Getting started quickly: The ChartExpert™ is designed to help novice users create charts. It guides users through
the required chart options in four steps to get them started quickly. The new Advisor analyzes users’ data
and suggests chart types that would best suit the data, giving users a quick way to choose a chart type. Users
can also choose a chart type from the Chart Type gallery, which has been redesigned for Quattro Pro 10 to
make it more powerful and easier to use. The enhanced Chart Type gallery has three tabs:
• Type — lets users select the chart type and set a default QuickChart
• Advisor — lets users choose from the charts the Advisor engine suggests would best suit the data
• Custom — lets users select one of their own custom chart templates
User-defined QuickChart defaults: Users can create a chart in just three clicks: first they select the data range for the
chart on the spreadsheet, next they press the QuickChart button, and finally they click on the spreadsheet
to draw the chart. When using the QuickChart button, Quattro Pro 10 selects the chart type that best
represents the data (using the Advisor) unless the user has specified a chart type to use as the default
through the Chart Type Gallery.
Custom data range for high/low charts: Users can select the ranges for each of the High, Low, Open, and Close
values for the high/low charts. This means users no longer have to be concerned with getting the data for a
high/low chart in a particular order in the spreadsheet.

Making charts easier to read: To make charts easier to read, users can stagger x-axis labels over one, two, or three
rows. Users can also elect to skip labels to ensure labels don’t overlap and can always be read. Users can select
where the x-axis will cross the y-axis to more easily represent data that does not revolve around zero. For
example, if the user sets the x-axis to cross the y-axis at 10, then all numbers less than 10 will be drawn below
the x-axis and all numbers greater than 10 will be drawn above. Users can also customize the viewing angle of
a three-dimensional chart by choosing a preset angle from the 3-D Options dialog box.
Corel Presentations 10
®
™
Corel Presentations 10 includes exciting new features and enhancements designed to make slide show
presentations more interesting and dynamic. Users can now embed fonts in slide shows, making them even
more portable. They can also add MP3 and WMA sounds and animated GIF images to slides and animations
and publish the entire slide show as a Macromedia Flash™ (.swf) file for posting on the Internet. Users can
easily share slide shows with others, either through other applications or over the Internet. They can also use
a variety of special effects and customizations to personalize shows for different audiences.
Publishing a slide show in Macromedia Flash: Macromedia Flash Player is a leading Web browser player. Now users
can publish a slide show as a Macromedia Flash file for posting on the Internet.
Embedding fonts: Corel Presentations 10 now supports TrueDoc technology, which lets users embed fonts in a
presentation. By choosing Embed Fonts when saving a file, users can compress and save font information
with the file data so that the fonts will travel with the rest of the presentation. This ensures that viewers will
see, edit, or print the same presentation on any computer or printer, even if the devices do not have the fonts
used to create the document installed. TrueDoc records the shape of the characters, regardless of the font
format or the complexity of a character’s shape, and embeds these representations in the document.
Matching fonts: If users do not choose Embed Fonts when saving a presentation and the file is opened on a
computer that does not have the fonts used in the creation, Corel Presentations 10 will notify the viewer and
make the best possible match for font substitution.
Using MP3 and WMA sounds: Corel Presentations 10 now supports MP3 and WMA sound formats, allowing
compressed sound files to be attached to a slide show. This is useful for slide shows published to the World
Wide Web, as MP3 and WMA sound files have a smaller file size than the same sound in many other file
formats.
Adding sound to animations: Users can now add sound to an animated object in Corel Presentations 10. This lets
users create special effects, such as a page turning or a ball bouncing, with both animation and sound.
Including animated GIFs: In response to user requests, Corel Presentations 10 now supports animated GIF images
in slide shows. Users can insert animated GIF images in a slide show and play them, giving them the ability to
add animated objects to a slide show quickly and easily.
Adding footers: Slide Footers allow users to add a footer to a slide show. Users can create and edit footer
information, such as the date, time, and slide number, and they can add their own custom text.

Sharing information: Corel Presentations 10 has enhanced import and export capabilities to let users convert files
to and from other presentation applications. Corel Presentations 10 lets users import files from Lotus®
Freelance® and import and export files from Microsoft® PowerPoint®.
Publishing to the Internet: Corel® Internet Publisher has been designed to give users step-by-step instructions
on how to publish a slide show to the World Wide Web. Corel® Internet Publisher gives users greater
control over features, such as page setup and layout, button styles, and publish location.
Show It™: Users can use Show It to publish a slide show to HTML and then post the files with full animation,
transitions, sound, SpeedLink™, and video support to the Internet. When users publish a slide show using
the Corel Internet Publisher with the Show It option, the slide show is converted to a file format that
stores animation, transitions, sound, and video support. To view the show, users must have the Show It
plug-in, which can be downloaded from the Corel Web site.
SpeedLink™: A SpeedLink is an object on a slide that has an action or event attached to it. When users click a
SpeedLink object during a slide show, it can launch a Web browser and go to a specified address on the
Internet, such as a Web page or an FTP site, open an application like WordPerfect or Quattro Pro, play a
sound file, or move to another part of the slide show.
Working with bitmapped images: Corel Presentations 10 lets users create bitmapped images or open existing
bitmapped images. The Bitmap Editor lets users refine small details by editing pixels. Users can also make
changes and apply special effects to the entire bitmapped image. Users can use the Bitmap Editor to
retouch photographs, edit bitmapped images, and create original bitmapped images. The Bitmap Editor
provides users with a broad range of bitmapped-image editing and drawing tools. The bitmapped images can
then be added to slide shows and drawings.
Customizing slide shows for different audiences: Corel Presentations 10 lets users create different versions of a slide
show by specifying slides to skip when presenting a slide show. For example, users may need to present a
slide show introducing a new organizational structure to the various departments in their company. The slide
show can be designed in such a way that each department is shown how the new organizational structure
affects their department specifically.
Show On The Go™: Corel Presentations 10 lets users create a self-executing version of a slide show that can be
played on any computer that uses the Windows operating system, even if it doesn't have Corel Presentations
installed.
Creating special effects: Corel Presentations 10 includes some exciting special effects tools to help make a
presentation more dynamic. These include
• Contour Text — lets users wrap text around the outline of a graphic
• QuickWarp™ — lets users mold an object into one of several preset shapes, such as a pennant, crescent,
or bow tie
• Quick3D — lets users change the rotation and perspective of an object
• Blend — creates a “progression” composed of two objects and a series of intermediate objects

specific to individual recipients in the CorelCENTRAL Address Book. After receiving an email message with
a digital signature, users can verify the authenticity of that email message. If a received email message is
encrypted, users can view a decryption report.
Identifying digital signatures and certificates: A digital certificate is a unique digital identification used to verify the
identity of a person. The certificate always includes a public key, the name of the entity it identifies, an
expiration date, the name of the certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate, the digital signature of
the CA, and a serial number. These certificates use public key cryptography to sign and authenticate
signatures and are protected by public and private key pairs linked by cryptographic algorithms. These keys
have the ability to encrypt and decrypt information. CorelCENTRAL Mail can identify digital certificates and
encrypted email certified by CAs, such as VeriSign Inc, Thawte Certification, and Digital Signature Trust.
Users can maintain multiple digital certificates and set any of them as their default ID.
Proofreading: Users have access to the WordPerfect 10 writing tools when they are composing email messages,
including Spell Checker, Grammatik, QuickCorrect™, Dictionary, Thesaurus, and Spell-As-You-Go.
Spell Checker checks for misspelled words, duplicate words, and irregular capitalization in documents, parts
of documents, and text entry boxes. Grammatik lets users proofread documents, parts of documents, and
text entry boxes for grammar and style errors. Users can choose a checking style designed for the type of
writing they are checking, or they can create a customized checking style. QuickCorrect lets users
automatically correct common typing mistakes, and accelerate text entry. Dictionary lets users look up the
various meanings of many words. Thesaurus lets users look up options such as synonyms, antonyms, and
related words and replaces and inserts words in a document. Spell-As-You-Go marks words that may be
misspelled by underlining them in red, and users can then decide whether to correct them. The writing tools
in WordPerfect Office 2002 share the same word list, so that words added to the word list in WordPerfect 10
are in the list in CorelCENTRAL 10.
Prioritizing messages: Users can set a priority level for email messages they compose. An icon indicating the
priority level of the message displays in the message list box showing the user its level of importance.
Drafting email: The Send Later feature allows users to create a new message and then send the message later.
This lets users work on drafts of messages over time before sending the message.
Viewing attachments: Users can view email attachments quickly and easily using Quick View Plus®.

category one at a time.
Paradox 10
®
Paradox 10 is a powerful and easy-to-use relational database program that helps users organize, track, and
retrieve information. Users can create sophisticated forms, charts, and reports to display information.
Paradox 10 can be run as a standalone system on a single computer, or as a multiuser system on a network.
Paradox 10 is included only in WordPerfect Office 2002 Professional Edition.
Getting started quickly: Paradox 10 comes with a selection of prebuilt, professionally designed, fully customizable
templates that let users get started quickly when building tables, relational databases, or complete applications.
Paradox 10 also contains a number of Experts to help users get started quickly. Experts offer users basic
choices and guide them through all the steps required to complete a task; for example
• Table Expert — helps users create a new table structure
• Report Expert — helps users create reports from one or more tables in a database
May 2001

F E A T U R E
G U I D E
• Query Expert — helps users build a query on one or many tables in a database, and displays the results in
an Answer table
• Find Duplicate Expert — helps users find records with duplicate field values in a single table, and
displays the results in an Answer table
• Chart Expert — helps users add charts to a report based on data from an existing table or from a table
generated by a query
Sharing information: Paradox 10 uses the latest standards for publishing reports in HTML format for use on the
World Wide Web. By taking advantage of the more advanced capabilities of enhanced HTML and CSS,
Paradox 10 can produce reports for the World Wide Web that accurately reproduce the original Paradox
reports. Users can also share Paradox tables over a local area network (LAN), letting many users connect and
edit data simultaneously.
Working with graphics: Paradox 10 can now import and export many of the same graphics formats as
WordPerfect, including Corel PHOTO-PAINT® (.cpt files), Windows Bitmap (.bmp files), Joint
Photographic Experts Group (.jpg files), CompuServe® GIF (.gif files), Windows Metafile (.wmf files), and
more. This lets users import the graphics used in WordPerfect documents to Paradox, giving their work a
consistent look. In addition, Paradox 10 now supports TWAIN. Users can scan an image, such as a
photograph or a drawing, directly into Paradox 10 as an editable bitmapped image. Users can also add images
from a digital camera and place them into graphics fields or objects in a form or a report.
Document filters: Users can publish reports both interactively and through ObjectPAL in many different
word-processing file formats, including WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Lotus Ami Pro, HTML, Rich Text
Format, and plain text.
Hotkey assignments: The new Hotkeys feature for forms lets users define keyboard combinations in their
applications to trigger actions. This eliminates the need to create complex ObjectPAL code to handle
keyboard events.
Translating applications: A list of translatable strings can now be stored in a text file and accessed when users
open a form. Since strings are not embedded in the form itself, an application can be translated quickly and
easily.
Connectivity: Paradox 10 can communicate virtually transparently with any ODBC-enabled database, such as
dBASE®, Microsoft® FoxPro®, and Microsoft® Access. Because Paradox 10 is database-neutral, users can
change from Paradox tables to Oracle® or Microsoft SQL Server by changing a setting. Users can also share
data between applications. The Paradox 10 ODBC driver from Merant lets any ODBC-enabled application,
such as CorelCENTRAL, Cold Fusion, or WinFax PRO™, use data stored in Paradox tables.
Creating forms and reports: Forms are database objects that provide users with an efficient way of viewing, adding,
and editing records in tables. A form resembles an application dialog box. A report is a document that allows
users to present their data. Reports can be used to create mailing labels, financial statements, and invoices.
Users can create forms and reports in several ways. Using Quick Form and Quick Report is the fastest
way to create a form or report based on a single table. Data Model serves as the reference for creating a

form or a report based on one or more linked tables. The Form Expert guides users through the process of
creating a form based on one or more tables, while the Report Expert does the same for reports. The
Visual Form and Report Designer provides users with an extensive set of drawing tools for creating
sophisticated graphical interfaces for viewing data, giving them an unprecedented level of power and control
over forms and reports.
Querying: Paradox 10 lets users use queries to retrieve data from a database. Users control how much
information they want to retrieve by specifying fields and records that meet specific conditions. Paradox 10
includes several methods for querying data:
• Query By Example — lets users create a query based on one or more tables by providing an example of
the information they want to retrieve
• Query Expert — guides users through the process of creating basic queries
• Visual Query Builder — lets users use a graphical interface to select tables, fields, and any other option
needed to build a query in SQL
Customizing applications with ObjectPAL: ObjectPAL is an object-based, event-driven, visual programming language.
Users can use ObjectPAL to completely customize applications with entirely new buttons, menus, dialog
boxes, prompts, warnings, and online Help. ObjectPAL can be used to extend the regular Paradox functions
or to create non-database applications. ObjectPAL lets users discover ways of extending the power of
Paradox to perform tasks that would be awkward, difficult, or time consuming without it.
