WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Rules For Style Codes: 1. Any code entered in [Style On] will be canceled by [Style Off], even if you enter the same code again in [Style Off]. Example: Your document is in Swiss 12pt. Your subheading style has Swiss Italic 12pt before the [Comment] code and Swiss 10pt after the [Comment] code. The text following the [Style Off] code will still print in Swiss 12pt. Exceptions to Rule #1: Center Page Force Odd/Even Page Headers/Footers Margins Top and Bottom New Page Number Page Numbering Paper Size/Type Suppress Rules For Style Codes: 2. All commands entered in the [Style Off] affect the text following the code, as long as the same command has not been entered in the [Style On] code. Example: If you leave the Swiss 14pt out of the previous example (in [Style On]), the text following the [Style Off] will be in Swiss 10pt. Rules For Style Codes: 3. Codes placed in the text between the On/Off codes override codes in the [Style On]. Saving Styles "Helpful Hints": 1. When entering Alt-F8, WP will only automatically load the style library listed in Location of Auxiliary Files (Shift-F1) if the file on the screen contains no styles. If you want to add the style library to the current list styles you must use the Update key. Saving Styles "Helpful Hints": 2. On saving a document, all styles currently active (meaning those listed in Alt-F8) are saved with the document in the prefix. Retrieving Styles "Helpful Hints": 1. If you have saved a style or group of styles in a separate file, the styles can be retrieved by Alt-F8, 7 to Retrieve, and entering the name of the file. There are a couple of things to be aware of when attempting this: a. If none of the new styles to be retrieved have the same name as any of the current styles, the new styles will be merged with the current styles and re-sorted. b. If one or more of the new styles has the same name as one or more of the current styles, WP asks if you want the new styles to overwrite the current styles. If you do overwrite the current styles, your document will re-format according to the codes in the new styles. Retrieving Styles "Helpful Hints": 2. The 8-Update option is a shortcut to retrieve the default style library. If none is specified in Location of Auxiliary Files nothing will happen. Remember, Update will not prompt you to replace the current styles if there are any matches. Retrieving Styles "Helpful Hints": 3. From a blank screen, Shift-10 will retrieve the document and styles it was saved with. Pressing Alt-F8 and 7-Retrieve will retrieve only the styles from the document. Styles In Master Documents: 1. In the Styles screen (Alt-F8), styles in sub-documents are combined with styles in the master document (if any) when the master document is expanded. Styles In Master Documents: 2. Once a particular style name has been defined (either in the master document or by previous subdocuments), any other definitions of the same name are ignored without prompting. Therefore, a unique name must be chosen for styles with different functions in each subdocument. Styles In Master Documents: 3. When an expanded master document is compressed and the subdocuments are re-saved, the combined set of styles is saved in all subdocuments (Alt-F8 screen). Possible Problems With Styles: 1. Saving Styles - When you answer Yes to replace a style, the entire contents of the style are replaced. Therefore, if you use Alt-F8, 6-Save to update styles in other documents, all styles will be replaced. Instead, retrieve the file and then use 7-Retrieve to update the styles. Possible Problems With Styles: 2. Styles and Columns - In a paired style that turns columns on and off, if you want to make a left or right margin change, it must go before [Col On] or after [Col Off]. WordPerfect will ignore margin changes while in column mode. Codes That Can Be In A Style: 1. Text 2. Any Format Feature 3. Base Font, Size and Appearance 4. Graphic Boxes With Text 5. Horizontal And Vertical Lines 6. Text Column Codes 7. Math Codes 8. Table of Contents, Index, Lists, and Table of Authorities Codes That Cannot Be In A Style: 1. Graphic Boxes With A Graphic Image - Graphics boxes will always be placed after the comment code in a paired style. (In WP 5.1 all kinds of graphics can be included in a style if you use the "graphics on disk" option.) 2. Document Initial Codes 3. Document Initial Font 4. Setup Key 5. Document Comment (disappears when you exit the style screen) 6. Mark Text Key, Automatic References (see STF_2191 for a workaround) 7. Footnote/Endnote Key 8. Style Key Style Tidbits To Remember: 1. A style in a document should not be renamed. (In WP 5.1 there is no problem renaming styles. It now prompts if you want to rename styles in the document.) 2. The number of style files is limited to the amount of disk space. 3. Any code entered in [Style On] will be cancelled by [Style Off], even if the same code is entered again in [Style Off]. 4. Margin changes in a paired style that turns columns on and off, must go before [Col On] or after [Col Off]. WP will ignore margin changes while in columns mode. 5. Remember to choose unique names for each style especially incorporating into a Master Document or the styles will be combined when it is expanded. 6. Up to 11 characters can be entered for the name of the style. 7. Up to 54 characters can be entered for the description of a style. 8. You can press your right arrow to turn a paired style off. 9. When you block codes and then create a style, the codes are automatically inserted into that style. 10. By highlighting the [Style On] code, you can see all the codes in that style. 11. If you include turning a style on in a macro, use name search (F2) in Alt-F8 to be sure to always get the correct style. 12. "Style Library Filename" is the only place in Location of Auxiliary Files that a filename must be included. Otherwise the error "Access Denied" will appear when going into Alt-F8. 13. If you have Enter turn off a style and then decide you need an [HRt] code between the style codes, block or delete an [HRt] from somewhere within the document and retrieve or undelete it between the style codes. (In WP 5.1 this is not necessary. Just press Ctrl-V, Enter.) 14. Styles take up more room (bytes) than regular codes doing the same job. This may make long documents slower to re-format, save and retrieve. 15. Remember to save the document or the style file again after any changes are made with the styles. 16. You don't have to put paired "off" codes, such as [bold] and [und], after the [Comment]. They will be put into the document automatically. 17. Remember that if you put a paired attribute (i.e., [BOLD]) after the [Comment] in a paired style, it must be manually turned off in the document. 18. A base font change in [Style Off] will be ignored as will any other codes that have corresponding codes int eh [Style On]. WP will go back to what it was using before the style. |
