Know your WordPerfect version and its "build number"

Some macros will not work or will not work properly in very early releases (or "builds") of a given version of WordPerfect. This is true even for macros shipped with WordPerfect! Moreover, some solutions or suggestions might work only in specific builds of the program. To find your build number:

Look in WordPerfect's Help menu, and click "About WordPerfect". You will see a four-digit number, such as 9.0.0.883 or 11.0.0.300. The first part of the number is the major version (WordPerfect 9, WordPerfect 11, etc.); the last three-digit part is the minor version number (also called the "build" or "release"), which can be critical information for troubleshooting problems on various WordPerfect internet support sites.

By the way ... is your version of WordPerfect up to date? See What "version" of WordPerfect do I have; what updates are available for my version? in the FAQ Forum at WordPerfect Universe.
