The WordPerfect Lightning Ecosystem
More than ever, you need to quickly store, reuse, and share information — tasks that full-featured word processors were never specifically designed for. With its Navigator, Viewer, and Notes window, WordPerfect® Lightning™ bridges this gap. You can use this new tool to view PDF, WordPerfect, and Microsoft® Word files and then copy the information and images you need from these documents into a note, which is automatically saved on your computer. WordPerfect Lightning acts as your digital memory, letting you quickly capture your ideas in notes. You can also copy text and images into your notes from e-mail or the Web. WordPerfect Lightning lets you view, edit, and share information regardless of its source.
When it's time to polish your work, WordPerfect Lightning offers you something no online office tool does — seamless integration with a full-featured office suite, Corel® WordPerfect® Office X3.
Sending information to WordPerfect® from the Navigator
The Navigator is at the very core of WordPerfect Lightning, allowing you to organize the pieces of information you want to reuse. From the Navigator, you can create a new WordPerfect document, send a PDF or Microsoft Word file to WordPerfect for editing, or take a screen capture and send it to WordPerfect.
To create a WordPerfect® document from the Navigator
- Click the New Note button, and click New WordPerfect Document.
To send a document to WordPerfect® from the Navigator
- Right-click a document, and click Send To > WordPerfect.
To capture an image and send it to WordPerfect®
- Click the arrow next to the Snapshot button, and choose Take Snapshot to WordPerfect.
- Make a selection by dragging around the area that you would like to include in the image.
The area you select is captured as an image. A new WordPerfect document opens with the image inserted.
Sending information to WordPerfect® from the Viewer
Every day, information comes at us from disparate sources: e-mail, text messages, links to Web sites, and PDF files, as well as Microsoft Word and WordPerfect files. The Viewer lets you unleash all the information that's locked in the many files sent your way.
Like the Navigator, the Viewer lets you easily send information to WordPerfect. You can save any document from the Viewer to WordPerfect for formatting and editing, or you can copy content from a document in the Viewer directly into WordPerfect. You can also take a screen capture and send it to WordPerfect.
To send a document from the Viewer to WordPerfect®
- Click the arrow next to the Save button , and choose Send to WordPerfect.
To copy text to a new WordPerfect® document
- Select the text.
- Click the arrow next to the Copy button, and choose Copy to WordPerfect.
To capture an image and send it to WordPerfect®
- Click the arrow beside the Snapshot button, and choose Take Snapshot to WordPerfect.
- Make a selection by dragging around the area that you would like to include in the image.
Getting WordPerfect®
You can get a free, 30-day trial of WordPerfect with just a click from within WordPerfect Lightning. You can click the arrow next to the Help Topics button if you're in the Navigator (or the arrow next to the Help button if you're in the Viewer) and then choose Get WordPerfect.
