To use WordPerfect startup switches

Startup switch                       Function
==============                       ========

:                                    Starts WordPerfect without displaying the startup screen.

/d-path                              Redirects the overflow files and temporary buffer files to the specified folder (for example, wpwin12 /d-x:\temp).

/DM=90                               Reduces the size of the text displayed on screen to 90% of true WYSIWYG. 
                                     This can fix some display problems, such as normal text appearing bolded or words appearing as if they run together.

"file extension" and "filename"      Opens the specified file from the documents folder that is specified in File Settings (for example, wpwin12 "x:\my documents\my letters\business.ltr"). 
                                     You must include quotation marks around the file extension and filename.

filename/bk-bookmark name            Opens the specified file and moves to the specified bookmark (for example, wpwin12 business.ltr/bk-opening).

/fl                                  Tells WordPerfect to send text directly to the screen.
                                     This startup option corrects some display problems and may be required for using screen readers.
                                     It also prevents General Protection Faults and Invalid Page Faults that occur when opening or editing documents in WordPerfect with a 256-color graphics card driver.
                                     However, it may increase screen flickering.

/l-language code                     Identifies which entry in the Language Resource File (wp.lrs) and which language .dll WordPerfect uses (for example, wpwin12 /l-DK).

/m-macroname                         Starts the specified macro when WordPerfect opens (for example, wpwin12 /m-x:\program files\wordperfect office 12\macros\wpwin\heading1.wcm).

/mt-macroname                        Starts the specified macro from the default template when WordPerfect opens (for example, wpwin12 /mt-heading2.wcm).

/nb                                  Turns off original document backup option for the current session.

/recover                             Rebuilds table information in the prefix of the document upon retrieval.

/u-name                              Identifies the user initials for use on your network (for example, wpwin12 /u-GRB).
                                     This lets multiple users run WordPerfect on a network, although this option is not necessary for correct network operation.
