2.Log onto the WordPerfect directory on your hard disk.

3.Type the following and press Enter to start VGAMODE and initialize 132-column text mode:

4.Type the following and press Enter to run WordPerfect’s Setup program:

WP /S

5 . A t t h e S e t u p M e n u , s e l e c t S p e c i f y S c r e e n S i z e .

7.Exit the Setup Menu. Your computer now displays WordPerfect in 132-column text mode.
