WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The Advance Left feature in WP is used to do manual kerning. Manual kerning can be used for a pair of characters that you need to kern only once in a document.

For example:
1.      Type W for the first character.
2.      Press Format (Shift-F8), Select Other (4), and then select Advance (1).
3.      Select Left (4), and then enter .02" to move to the left 2/100ths of an inch.
4.      Press Exit (F7) to return to the document editing screen.
5.      Type lowercase "o" for the second character. The two characters are now kerned 2/100ths of an inch.

For an 11pt font, 2/100ths of an inch is a good measurement for kerning. If the font is smaller, reduce the left advance measurement. If the font is larger, increase the left advance measurement.
