 Hint

If you are installing WordPerfect on a network, you should secure files that are critical to its operation.

For more information, please see the Network Appendix in the printed documentation.

The total number of copies of the program in use on the network should not exceed the number printed on your Certificate of License.


 Hint

Selecting this option does not copy Bitstream TrueType font files to the users' Windows directory.
