Problem
Solutions: Delay Codes You now have the ability to insert a page formatting code on one page, but not have it take effect until a page or several pages later. This would be helpful as you put page formatting codes at the first of the document and not have to worry about them floating to another page as text is entered or deleted. This would allow you to easily have letterhead on page one with different margins for page two. To access this feature, select Layout|Page and choose Delay Codes. There are two options: 1. Codes to Delay - Insert codes using regular keystrokes. 2. Number of Pages to Delay Codes - From the page where you cursor is currently located The Delay Code feature is a type of paired code. The beginning code is [Delay:#], (where the # represents how many pages it will delay the codes). It is placed at the top of the page where your cursor was when the Delay Codes feature was inserted. At the beginning of the page where the delayed codes are now active is the end code [Delay On;]. When your cursor is placed on the [Delay On;] code, it will expand and show you the codes that are now active from that point forward. If you delete the beginning code [Delay:#], WP will automatically delete the end code as well. If you delete the end code, the beginning stays in tact and is still active. So if you want to eliminate the Delay code, you must delete the beginning code. There does not seem to be a limitation on how many Delay Codes you can have in a document. Application You are typing a document in which you'd like the second page to have T/B Margins and L/R Margins of 3". You would like page three to return to the default margins of 1". To create this document go to a blank screen and type 1 [HPg], 2 [HPg], 3 [HPg], 4 [HPg]. Move your cursor to the first page and insert the Delay Code option so page 2 has margins of 3". Come back to the document screen. Now insert the Delay Codes option to set the margins for page 4 back to the default of 1". Look in Reveal Codes at the beginning and end Delay Codes. What happens when you place your cursor on the beginning and end codes? If you delete the end Delay code on page 4, cursor up and down the document to see what happens. What happens if you delete one of the beginning codes on the first page? |
