In addition, this version contains improved revisions of five macros from previous sets. The documentation, READMEIN.ASC, has been updated to include full explanations of them, and the help- er file, MACS.DOC, now includes the lines shown below, which com- prise brief descriptions of each: (New Macros--) (C) Displays a black box, prints a c-in-circle copyright symbol. (R) Displays a black box, prints an r-in-circle registered mark. ALTF Displays Help function's F-keys template. ALTL Go To left (for changing one column to the left). ALTM Uses two hyphens, the 2nd Advanced left .04", for a solid em dash. ALTR Go To right (for changing one column to the right). ALTZ |Goes back to main editing screen from anywhere; exits all menus, |headers, footnotes, etc.; toggles Block, Typeover, Reveal Codes |off; answers Y/N prompt "y," then Cancels. ASCII2 Leaves margins 1"-1"; starts CTRL-F5 TEXT IN function. ASCIICNV |Converts ASCII text to WP, leaves paragraphs. (For use with |documents in ordinary paragraphs, without unusual formatting.) BX Removes the next bold code in the document (repeatable). CHK Puts a check in a box made with BOX.WPM; center cursor under box. CNFDNTL Puts "* * * C O N F I D E N T I A L * * *" in dbl box, bld, cntrd. DBLUND Turns on double underlining, pauses for text, turns off. DCRITS Diacrits assigned to vars as follows: 1� 2� 3� 4� 5� 6� 7� 8� 9� 0�. DRFT Creates line of 3 * * D R A F T * * in bold face. EDCOM Edit the first comment following the cursor. EDHDRA Goes to top of document, brings up Header A in header editing scn. GRID |Simulates computer grid paper by redlining every other line. |Use w/ repeat feature. Pad line ends with blanks before use |for even appearance of right margin. IW Italicizes word with cursor in it. LRM Prompts for new setting of both margins. NN ALTN for double digit numbers; aligns period with singles. OVR Runs Overstrike, pauses for input both characters, returns to Doc. PBRK Shows [SPg] in Reveal Codes, center screen, of selected page. RN Restarts automatic numbering over again with 1. (See ALTN.WPM.) S2HRT Converts all SRts (soft returns) in current Doc to HRts. SB Subscript on, pause for text entry, then off. TABS4 Sets tabs every four (.4") for numbered lists. TR Transposes adjacent words; put cursor anywhere in the second word. UX Removes the next underline code in the document (repeatable). WO Puts widow-orphan protect code at the top of the document. (Revised Macros--) ALTO Supplies � for degree sign (changed to use ASCII 248, a proper degree sign, rather than a superscript lowercase o). HDRA Creates Header A, pauses for text entry, suppresses on first page (now loops while waiting for you to press , which allows there to be more than one line in the header). MARK Leaves a marker at the cursor (now turns underline and bold off, since leaving them on can cause the whole remainder of the doc- ument to appear bold and underlined). PR2DSK |Prints the document on the screen to disk. (Assumes Standard |Printer is at bottom of printer driver list in Select and desired |default printer is at top.) Pauses for entering of path\filename. (This macro was modified in an attempt to make it restore settings to defaults as it finishes running. Without the changes, it could cause the file printed to disk to be overwritten the next time you attempt to print something. However, certain assumptions are made about your system that may not be true, for example, that your out- put normally goes to LPT 1, so the macro may need editing if it's to work properly for you.) RENV |If several letters on screen, goes to next inside address, runs |PENV, then loops. Press Enter once each envelope is positioned (modified so that it needs to be run only once in order to create a series of addressed envelopes). At present, there have been no reports of bugs concerning the macros in version 1.1 of October 1989, and I've been running all of them for a considerable amount of time without problems. I'm still using WordPerfect 5.0 and will continue to do so until I can acquire a larger, faster, more powerful computer. According to those who use these macros in connection with WordPerfect 5.1, they work just as well with that version. The thirty macros now being added to this set have all been tested thoroughly and are in regular use on my system. However, if you encounter any difficulties, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at one of the addresses shown in READMEIN.ASC. Richard Wexler January, 1991
