Edit Macro Fails To Work Properly When Run A |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is running EDIT.WPM as a keyboard macro. When the macro is run the second time on any code from the Header or Footer Edit screens, the macro fails to work correctly. Sometimes the macro will delete the code, and sometimes it will add text to the screen. Solutions: The EDIT.WPM macro goes into a {WHILE} loop after reaching a Header or Footer Edit screen. As long as the macro is not at a menu screen it waits for the {EXIT} (F7) key to be pressed and then returns to the document screen. Because the macro has been assigned to the keyboard, the Macro Menu (Alt-F10), value "32833", is not activated. This leaves the Macro active in the {WHILE} loop. You cannot run a second macro with the first macro still active. To work around the problem, the user can either press a key that breaks the loop before running the macro again (i.e., F1, Home, Esc) or refrain from using the macro as a keyboard macro. |
