You're welcome. I'd have wanted to know too. I tried it on the one WP file that is corrupt. Some WordPerfect settings are stored in the Windows Registry and in various user-specific files on disk.
Sometimes this "User Profile" becomes corrupted or becomes affected by some other non-Corel program's setting and it can impact WordPerfect. What's a User Profile? When you create a new Windows User Account e. It contains user-specific folders, settings, and preferences relating to your applications, desktop, etc. Wikipedia here. See also Footnote 2. It does not list or discuss all possible error messages actually, not many!
Similarly, try using Google or other search method from your internet browser: The message might be known to other users, especially if Windows was the source of it. If you suspect that you are having problems with WordPerfect tables, you can force WordPerfect to fix them when you launch WordPerfect with a "Startup switch".
If these things are corrupted, they can cause some of the problems mentioned previously. They can be deleted and re-created or re-imported into a "good" document. Custom styles can also be retrieved, even from other documents and templates. Obviously, back up your document first. See "Automatically make back ups of your document For example, a time setting that is too short on a busy computer can corrupt some large files — or simply give you a "spinning hourglass" on screen while WordPerfect continuously tries to save your work, stopping you from doing anything else with the program.
Potential problem when launching WordPerfect When you try to start WordPerfect and you see the cursor hourglass or rotating wheel in recent Windows versions This includes the document window — including any open documents shown there — the menu bar , toolbars and property bars , and the application bar "status bar" at the bottom of the screen.
Toolbars, property bars, and the application bar are usually displayed by default if they are enabled — see " To see these bars on screen " here. When choosing a workspace, you are specifying the toolbars, buttons, options, and menus that WordPerfect displays. You can customize and save workspace settings, including shadow cursor settings, measurement and ruler settings, toolbar, application bar and property bar settings. Saving your workspace settings [with the Save Workspace option] ensures they remain in effect until you change them.
They are related — but you don't have to deliberately use the Workspace Manager first to use "Save Workspace": the latter will save the current workspace, whichever workspace mode was chosen e. The Workspace Manager " As noted, you can automatically always or optionally save the workspace with the Save Workspace option above if you customize it. For a reference, see this thread at WordPerfect Universe for one method to do it; see below for the equivalent and easy manual method.
The above-referenced WPU thread suggested using 01 Never for the value in order to disable it so that you can open the program if it is stuck on launch trying to open a corrupted file. Exit from WordPerfect and use Windows Explorer, File Explorer, or My Computer to rename the potentially corrupt document — or even the folder containing it you can rename it back to the original later.
Then start WordPerfect. It may still pop an error message, but it should open. You can then try to repair the corrupted document, as explained above.
It's what I do. You could also use a vertical toolbar see this PDF file. From Corel's support site here : "How to remove Temp files from Windows to resolve multiple software and system issues. Excessive amounts of Temp files can cause many known issues with Corel products as well as other software running on Windows. Note: The proceedure may have to be repeated or files deleted in batches when using Windows XP due to its limitations when deleting mass amounts of files. These are relatively simple and safe things to do, but see the Microsoft site or a good third-party Windows book if you need help.
Re-launch WordPerfect and test. The Windows User Profile is basically a section of the Windows registry on your computer — a database of user-specific settings — along with a set of folders that are stored in a per-user directory on your disk.
For more see Footnote 2. It can also cause less severe issues with WordPerfect. You can test this if you create a new User Account with Administrator status. You don't need to delete the old User Account. If the problem goes away you probably should just re-create your customized WordPerfect settings using that Account. For more information about the Windows User Account and User Profile, including methods of transferring user settings, search the Microsoft site e. These can be restored to factory defaults with the procedure outlined on the Corel site " How do I restore WordPerfect to its factory defaults " here and also mentioned on this site here.
It's a relatively simple procedure that simply renames rather than deletes a few Windows settings in the Windows Registry. You should make a backup copy of the Registry first. Search the Microsoft site if you are not sure how to do it. You can temporarily disable your computer's connection to the internet via WiFi or Ethernet, depending on your system to see if the program's launch time improves under that "isolated" condition. For example, if you cannot open or save a file and you are using a laptop or other system that is not currently connected to a network, check to make sure your default document folder is available in Tools, Settings, Files.
It might be set "pointed" to a local network or cloud folder which is not available. Some users create different Windows User Profiles to use when they are, or are not, connected to their network and its printer. See also information about the Additional Objects template , which some organizations place on a network server. Once this is done the file can be re-saved using the current WordPerfect file format. To do this, follow the steps below: [1] Open the damaged file in WordPerfect.
Once this procedure has been completed it should be possible to run the reference tool. Possible cause: The macro has been given commands that it cannot complete or which confuse it, such as trying to find a QuickMark that doesn't exist.
This is often a sign of a corrupted WordPerfect default template. See here for solutions. You can always post a question on WordPerfect Universe. See here for some help tips. Having several intermediate copies "iterations" of a document might allow you to recover material from an uncorrupted earlier version of the file.
It has the added benefit of preserving earlier material which might be useful later on. This might be especially useful if you need to do a lot of copy-and-paste within or between documents, or you are importing material or graphic images from another source. Like most software publishers, Corel occasionally issues "patches" Corel calls them "Service Packs" to correct bugs it feels warrant correction. You may disagree on what "warrants" a correction.
While some early versions of WordPerfect were released with some serious bugs and later corrected , recent versions are far more resistant to such things. But in any case the nature of software is that some bugs are inevitable — especially since software can be affected by external changes in Windows, printer drivers, resident programs, etc.
Also, sometimes minor bug fixes are included in the newest WordPerfect version but the immediately previous version might no longer have Service Packs issued to correct the same bugs. It's largely a matter of how much time and effort a company can devote to supporting older — and no longer profitable — versions of a program. Moreover, floppies and ZIP drives are relatively small and can quickly fill up.
Even if there appears to be room on the floppy, there can be a problem with this method: The way Windows saves a file to another drive is a multi-step process, if the file already exists on the target drive. It first makes a temporary file on the target drive, and once that process is successful, it then copies the temporary file to the original on the target drive, overwriting it. Then it deletes the temporary file.
Thus, there is some safety built into the process. However, this means that the target must have enough free space for roughly double the original file size. If not, you may not be able to save a current file to the floppy or Zip drive. Always save your file to your hard drive first , and then copy the file to the floppy. A macro can help automated this. See "SaveCopy - A macro that saves the current file and then immediately makes a copy on another hard drive, floppy disk, or other removable disk," here.
However, if you start a new file with File, New — or open a file on your hard drive — then the macro will save it to your hard drive first, and then make a copy to your Drive A. The latter is a better and safer method. In the existing-file-on-the-floppy drive A case, SaveToA will first make or attempt to make a copy on the floppy, which most experts agree is fraught with potential problems — not the least of which is that there might not be enough space on the floppy for the copying operation to be carried to completion.
Therefore, it is much safer to work from, and save to, a hard drive or at least a drive with plenty of space available — at least twice the size of the file you are trying to save than to try and save to a floppy, which can quickly and unnoticeably fill up — not to mention that the floppy media itself if much more prone to damage than a hard drive. It is my observation that many users think that the first and best thing to do when they have a problem with WordPerfect is to reinstall it.
I believe this idea comes from two general sources: 1 People unfamiliar with how software programs actually work, or how modern hardware devices actually work, have hit upon the technique of "if it doesn't work, reboot or reinstall the thing. In an earlier age we used to think that smacking a wonky TV would help get better reception a. That actually seemed to help once in a while — possibly because vacuum tubes something like incandescent light bulbs powered the thing and they were susceptible to vibration.
And because rebooting a modern device once in a while actually works and for some devices — e. Reboot it! Reinstall it! Since the recommendation comes from a presumed expert, it becomes the Remedy of Choice instead of the Remedy of Last Resort.
It seems to me that the real reason this recommendation is so quickly given is that it works sometimes and it immediately gets the caller off the line while they go about the task of reinstalling the program.
A call back will no doubt be answered by some other Help Desk "guru. If the problem persists and the user has the time and energy to call back, the Help Desk can then drill down through a series of alternatives. If you listen carefully, you might hear them clicking through their on-screen list of things for you to try. They are following a script.
This method works — for them — and possibly for you, too. You might conclude from your call that one of t he first things to do is a "program reinstall" whenever you have a problem. Why waste time on any other remedy? It worked before. Why not now? But with WordPerfect, immediate reinstallation often is a waste of time because — for one thing — it does not overwrite i.
A Windows user profile describes the Windows configuration for a specific user, including the user's environment and preference settings. Notes - A user profile is different from a user account , which you use to log on to Windows.
Solution: Create a new user account. You can optionally copy files from the old version to the new one; see next paragraphs. User profiles can be either Local or Roaming.
Search the Internet or the Microsoft site for more information. What the user sees on the computer screen, as well as what files, applications and directories they have access to, is sometimes determined by how the network administrator has set up the user's profile.
Roaming profiles are downloaded from the server when a user logs on, and uploaded when the user logs off. Large roaming profiles can increase login time and even degrade performance on some networks. As one site states: "This allows the user to move from machine to machine and still maintain a consistent personal working environment. Network administrators find roaming profiles to be especially beneficial in a work or learning environment when more than one user shares the same computer, or when a user moves from place-to-place during the course of a workday.
For those who are new to computers or to folder and file navigation using Windows Explorer which is installed on all Windows PCs , here's an easy way to find your currently active default template so that you can rename it if necessary. The "Default template folder" field on that tab should be selected i.
If it is not selected, right-click in that field and choose Select All. Close the dialog and then close the WordPerfect program. Before doing any other task that invloves the Windows clipboard, do the following: 5. Right-click on the Start Orb "Start button" on your Windows desktop. Click on Open Windows Explorer. In Windows Explorer, click in the top field — in the empty space area to the right of the field's contents the field shows the current path. Delete the contents of that field.
If you can't find an empty area in that field, try choosing "Computer" or "Desktop" from the left pane in Windows Explorer. This should shorten the displayed path in that field.
Press the Enter key. The folder containing the currently active default template should open in Windows Explorer. You can click on the "Name" column heading to sort the items alphabetically.
Scroll down to find the default template. It will have a name like wp16US. If you can't find it in the Windows Explorer window, see here. Rename the first part of the name; for example, rename wp16US.
You can rename the file by clicking on its name to choose it, then use Windows Explorer's File menu to Rename it. Or you can just right-click on the file's name and choose Rename from the context menu that appears. When you next reopen WordPerfect, it will automatically create a new factory fresh i. You can then copy various customizations from the backed up version into this new template file, as described above and in more detail on the Templates page.
The default template generally is not replaced if you reinstall WordPerfect since it is considered a user file , not a program file. Hence, if the template file is damaged it can still cause problems after the reinstall. However, it is easy to re-create a new, factory fresh copy as described in the steps above. If you install another version of WordPerfect — either replacing the existing version or adding it alongside the existing version discussed here — in the hope that it will fix a default template or other problem, it is not a good idea to simply copy the existing default template file on your disk into the default template folder in the other version of WordPerfect, and then rename it with the same name as the new version's template in order to preserve any customizations stored in it.
WordPerfect default templates are version-specific. Rather, you can simply migrate many customizations to the other WordPerfect installation, as discussed in Step 3 above and in greater detail on the main Tips page here.
The answer is maybe. As noted in the previous paragraph, it's generally not a good idea to try and use an earlier version's renamed default template in place of the one that came with your current installation. You can usually recover migrate customizations from that earlier or different version. See Step 3 above or the main Tips page here.
But if the other program version is identical to the current version, you should be able to use it, even if it might need some tweaking.
Just be sure to back up these important files first. If you need more information, Steps 1 and 2 above are covered in more detail in the Default Template section on the Templates page.
These include - - The default template's file name - Standard location on disk - Actual location on disk - Using Windows Explorer or My Computer to find your default template - Automatic generation of the default template.
Page updated Aug 22, WordPerfect Tips Main tips page Browse more tips. In a hurry? Important The following sections assume you have a basic familiarity with the troubleshooting material in Sections I and Section II above.
Also: Section V deals with some miscellaneous problems and issues as well as some error messages. First, please note: WPLOOK attempts to fix corruption in a file's internal prefix , which stores information about the document, some user program settings in WordPerfect, the printer shown in File, Print , etc.
By itself it should fix the majority of corruption problems. There are other things that can cause problems and not all of them lead to corruption. These are discussed elsewhere on this page. Back it up? Side note: Does re-installing WordPerfect or installing a newer version of it help fix a default template? Can you use a customized default template from another version of the program?
For answers and a brief discussion see Footnote 4 below.
