Corel moderate a series of support related newsgroups for Wordperfect, if you set up an account in outlook express or your favourite newsreader software to point to Corel's newsgroup server
news://cnews.corel.ca
and get a list of newsgroups, there should be several WordPerfect newsgroups each refering to a different version.

Specifically, in Outlook go to View/ Go To/ News and a News window will open. Thereafter you can add a News button to your toolbar. I just checked, and out of the 30,000 newsgroups out there now, only one WordPerfect group is in use. It's called uw.wordperfect.users and apparently works for all versions.
You guys are wonderful. I've never been successful in posting a question in newsgroups. I've been able to read the already submitted q/a but never my own. I'll give it the old college (uw) try. Thank you again.

If you click the following URL in your browser, and navigate to the specific WordPerfect newsgroup you want. Clicking on the required newsgroup should automatically start up your newsreader and open the required newsgroup.
Depending on your news reader software you may have to go through a wizard to setup some basic account details for this particular corel hosted news server, which is different to your internet providers newsgroup mirror, like what user name you want along side the message and what email address you want posted with your message, I suggest you leave this one blank, heavily diguise it by inserting something like N_O_S_P_A_M somewhere in the address or use a disposable webmail account such as Hotmail to avoid the inevitable shower of spam that seems to be the scourge of newsgroup posters these days
Web page for linking to Corel news groups
There is a junk newsgroup on this server so first practice a test post on this to make sure only the details you want posted are sent, once you are happy, dive in to the real newsgroups
I have always found the C_Tech people on the graphics related newsgroups to be most helpful.
