>I've recently begun working with Wordperfect 5.1 but have run into a problem. The lines of test extend off the right end of the screen. I can't figure out how to fix this. It's not the margin settings. I'd appreciate help.

Try checking the font size - your problem is most likely a combination of the
margins and the font size. Anything smaller that 12 point (10 pitch) will 
probably give you more than 80 characters per line.

Either decrease the amount of space between the margins, or increase your font
size (to at least 12 point, or even 13 or 14 point), or both. If you choose a
large font so that you can see all of the text, remember to decrease it to
a more normal size when you print your text or it will look like you are 
publishing a large type book for the visually impared.
