Keyboard Macro Problem |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The user created a Keyboard Macro in which a period is overstruck underneath the character he last typed, to serve as a diacritical marking for a foreign character. When we invoke this keyboard macro in another macro we have problems. The other macro simply types a character (like r or s) and then invokes the first macro. When the second macro is invoked, it puts a "3" next to the overstruck character. When we look at the commands the second macro we see: display off, r, {key macro1}, 3. Where does the 3 come from? The first macro has the following commands: display off, block left, left, macro cmds, 3, 1, enter, delete, format, 4, 5, 1, VAR1, font, 1, 2, Ctrl-V, 0, 46, enter, enter, exit. This blocks the character to the left of the cursor and assigns it to VAR1. Then it goes through format to overstrike, plays back the contents of VAR1, changes to a subscript font, puts in a period using 0,46, then exits the menu. Solutions: This will be fixed on the next interim release (after 3/30/90). The customer will need Program 1&2. |
