When trying to sort a Wordperfect 12 document, the program closes

Try these short cut keys on your keyboard

After left mouse clicking on what you want to copy or move

Ctrl x to cut

Ctrl c to copy

Now click in my documents

Ctrl v to paste

Mice can be flakey with copy and paste sometimes

WordPerfect 12 is almost certainly incompatible with Windows 7 -- and is the reason you are getting the error message. The current version of WordPerfect is X4 -- at least 3 upgrade versions from version 12.

The drivers in version 12 were for Windows 98 / 2000. It would have worked OK with XP and maybe even Vista - but Win-7 is a new OS altogether. Sorry, but it sounds like you may need to do an upgrade.

What I would advise you to do is to open the control panel and go to "Add or remove programs" for windows xp and "Programs and Features" in Windows Vista. Locate Microsoft Word Perfect and click on it. Click on "change" The next option, put a dot on the "Repair installation errors in this program...." If it asks you for the disk again. Change the path of installation file to c:\windows\system32 Hope this helps!

Find the WP directory and locate the backup file. Copy it to somewhere else.

The directory will be something like WordPerfect\12\Backup with various other directories on the front of that such as c:\program files\ etc.

Open the copy and see how much of the original is present.

Reinstall WP

I have uninstalled and reinstalled WordPerfect four ao five times and each timeI cannot open Wordperfect 11 or acess my documents conected to that program. Why? All the other categories under the WordPerfect!! install work OK.

It may be in your programs that you need to uninstall WordPerfect Office 12. It just seems like something is partially installed and wants to complete.

The document is probably corrupted.

Try a different document - save it under a new name and edit away.

If the problem does not recur, the other document was corrupted.

I had this same problem the other day.
I save often under different file names because my work computer is not stable.

Just get another install disk. Borrow one from a friend.

Then all you will need is your serial number.

Reinstall and try that.

If you did a reinstall of the Microsoft Widows XP or Vista and expected Microsoft Word documents to be usable without also reinstalling Microsoft Word you are out of luck. Microsoft Word is a seperate software suite. You can do one of the following:
1. Use openoffice to work with the word docs (openoffice.org for the free download)
2. Get ahold of MS Office from either a store purchase or a friend with a volume license.
3. Download from Microsoft.com the trial version of MS Office 2007 and use it until the trial runs out.

Hope this helps.

Save all your documents. Uninstall wordperfect 12 using add/remove programs. Then Reinstall the software. This is one way to surely fix your problem.
