Information On WordPerfect 5.1 Macros |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: ENTERING INTO THE MACRO EDITOR DIRECTLY While creating an Advanced Macro, many times the use will need to enter directly into the Macro Editor. This is available in WordPerfect 5.1 by pressing Home, Ctrl-F10. By pressing the Home key before starting to define a Macro, WordPerfect will take the user directly into the Macro Editor screen without having the user perform part of the macro at the document editing screen. SIZE OF MACROS Macros that are edited in the internal Macro Editor of WP51 can be around 10K. Some have reported to be bigger, but a safe number that I have come up with is 10K. In WP50, they could only be around 4K. {PAUSE KEY}key~ This command is used instead of the Pause feature. With this command, the user may assign any key to terminate the pause. This means that the user does not have to have Enter break the pause. He can have the Enter key let them continue entering information at the pause prompt and then have Ctrl-Enter or F7 end the pause and continue with the Macro. NAMED VARIABLES The user can now access more variables by using Named variables and not just the Alt-number combinations. These variables can also be shared between the Macro and Merge language. They are not cleared from memory until the user exits WP or clears them by assigning them to nothing. |
