The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The user created a macro (Alt-M), ran the macro, then deleted it. After clearing the document screen, he pressed Alt-M and the macro he had just deleted was executed. When he exited WP, then re-entered WP, or simply went to Shell and came back in and pressed Alt-M, he got the correct message "Error File Not Found." Solutions: There are cases when the macro will stop working before exiting. WP simply caches macros, and the macro will continue to work until something else demands the cache. For example, using the Thesaurus or selecting a printer uses a lot of cache and may (or may not) purge the macro so it will give the "file Not Found" message.

One user made changes to a macro in Office Editor, however, the changes were not recognized in WP. Retrieving the macro in WP (Ctrl-F10) corrected the problem. Retrieving the macro updates the cache.
