Equations in WordPerfect 5.1 Documents: Tutorial
Stephen Morris, Jill Szuscikiewicz

It is unfortunately true that the presentation of a document 
influences the way its content is received,and all too often an 
impeccably produced report or paper is let down by scrappy equations.

WordPerfect 5.1, still in use by many academics in the UK, contains an 
excellent equations editor which is largely unexplored, even by 
researchers and scientists.  This is partly because it is quite 
different from the rest of WordPerfect for the user, and therefore 
less intuitive to learn.  We have devised a computer-based training 
system, which can also be used as on-line help, to make it more 
accessible.

The tutorial contains a step-by-step guide on the production of 
equations, suitable for anyone from scientists to secretaries.  It 
runs within WordPerfect.  It is assumed that the user will have some 
familiarity with WordPerfect, but expert knowledge is not required.

The six main sections are as follows:

1	Overview: to get you started
2	Using the Equation Pallettes
3	Grouping text using curly brackets
4	Enlarged parentheses and other brackets
5	Superscript and subscript
6	Integration and Summation

The software also contains a library of some of the most commonly used 
equations. These may be selected and inserted within your WordPerfect 
documents.  Once retrieved into a WordPerfect document, these 
equations can also be imported directly into Word 6 for Windows.  
Please note, however, that WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS is essential as the 
first step.



Graphics in WordPerfect 5.1 Documents: Tutorial
Stephen Morris, David Proffitt

Appropriate, well-placed figures and diagrams add much to the 
appearance of a paper or a report, and overheads for teaching.

WordPerfect 5.1s graphics facility is underused in most offices, only 
making an appearance on party invitations and miscellaneous notices.  
This package is designed to enable users to incorporate their own 
diagrams, rather than WordPerfect clip-art, and size and position them 
to the best advantage.

Like the Equations tutorial, it runs within WordPerfect and can be 
used as on-line help.  Expert knowledge of WordPerfect is not 
required.

The main tutorial sections cover:

Pulling images into your document
Rotating images
Cropping images
The scanning process
Printing


Library of Medical Illustrations

A library of over 1000 medical line drawings is available for 
downloading from the St Georges Hospital Medical School WWW site:

	http://www.sghms.ac.uk/computer/imagelib/imagelib.htm

The images are held in BMP and PCX format, which can be handled by 
most modern software.

Individual images are copyright free, and may be used in the 
production of teaching materials.  However there are some restrictions 
(for example, on the formation of a new collection drawn from this 
library).  All enquiries of a copyright nature should be directed to 
the copyright holders (Cedric Gilson, Audio-Visual Department, The 
Medical College of St Bartholomews Hospital).


System requirements

The Library of Medical Illustrations is available over the World Wide 
Web.  This requires Internet access and a graphic WWW browser, and is 
equally accessible to PC, UNIX and Mac systems.

In order to install and run the tutorials require that you have the 
DOS version of WordPerfect 5.1 installed on your PC.
