The default for WordPerfect 5.0 is right justify.  Any option that can be set 
in Format (Line, Page, or Other) can also be set in two other places.  The 
first is in Format ([Shift][F8]), Document, Initial Codes, then Format 
([Shift][F8), Line or Document or Other.  Instead of putting in a [Just Off] 
code (or whatever) in your document, this puts it into the document header.  
It doesn't show up in reveal codes.  This affects only the current document.  
If you want that code as a default in your document headers, use Setup 
([Shift][F1]), Initial Settings, Initial Codes, then Format ([Shift][F8]), 
Line or Document or Other.  This puts that code into the header of any future 
new document you create, but not old documents you retrieve, unless you use 
the trick of retrieving an old document into a new document that has just one 
space in it.
