   Create an Alt-letter macro for the following:

{IF}{SYSTEM}Menu~=18~
   {DISPLAY OFF}
   4&&&{Exit}
   {DISPLAY ON}
   1
{END IF}

   Then, during a spell check, when a word comes up you want to mark,
Press the Alt-letter combo you named the macro.  The word is marked
with a "&&&" in front of it, and the spell checker will continue.
After spell-checking the rest of the document, just search (F2)
for all the "&&&"s in the document.

   Has anyone else come up with anything?

According to the WP5.1 Printer list dated 2/13/92, the all file for
the Epson LQ-850 and Epson LQ-860 is WPDM1. It should be on printer
disk 1. The 850 was added 11/6/89 and last updated 11/5/91.

I don't know why the 850 wouldn't appear on the pick list when you
install.

By the way, there are several 850 drivers. There is also an
Epson LQ-850 (Canada-French) driver in WPDM50.all on printer disk 5.
The printer list I'm referring to came with the enhancements disk,
which we ordered from WPCorp. It lists all the printer drivers
that ship with WP. (VERY useful).

We are using WordPerfect 5.0 on an IBM RS/6000, and have found that
we are not able to print files which are locked by using the TEXT IN/OUT
Password function.  After retrieving the file and supplying the password,
when trying to print through the PRINT function key, we hear a beep.
Then, when we go into job control, we have an error message:
    Error: File is locked: /usr/tmp/_wp017rd_0; Held

Is this a problem with WordPerfect 5.0 on the IBM RS/6000, or is a user
supposed to remove a password before printing a document?

If anyone out there has any ideas about that, please respond to me
personally.  Thanks!

We have a user experiencing a problem with WP 5.1.  We are running WP 5.1
under Digital Pathworks, on a 386 PC with 4MB memory and using QEMM memory
management software.

The user wants to make modifications to a large document (100 pages +) that
has a number of tables and other special 'stuff'.  However, once they reach
a certain point in the document they are receiving an error which appears to
generated as a result of a memory conflict between WP and QEMM.  A similiar
document (same format, less pages) processes without problems.

We removed QEMM and tried again, but obtained the same results.  Inspection
of the document using reveal codes shows a number of unrecognized 'control
codes' but we can't remove them.

Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be, how to avoid the
problem or remove the control codes?

Thanks in advance...

It seems that WordPerfect Corp products store the "extra information" from 
the long listing in a header section of the actual file.  Naturally, DOS 
cannot support the extra information -- its file specification system is 
rigid.  Thus, every file has to be accessed, if only briefly.  This makes 
the display time a function of how fast your machine can open and close the 
files -- processor type and hard disk speed are definite factors in this 
case.  If you're directly accessing a floppy disk with Long displays, and 
there are a lot of files on the floppy, getting a directory could take a 
very long time indeed.

A trick I learned at WP Corp (a WP for DOS conference) was to add a
? to your merge field code like this: {FIELD}1?~

The ? acts like the Delete to End of Line feature, so if the field
is blank, the line is not printed. One drawback was that this could
delete a valid line where more than one field code was entered and
only one was blank. (Hope that makes sense).

I haven't actually tried this, though. But maybe it will help.

Subject: Re: New Feature Wanted

I have been watching the comments about the Tab Edit feature and have
had the same complaint from time to time.  But, the EDIT.WPM macro that
comes with WordPerfect is an excellent editing tool.  I found it while
reading the big, thick, gray manual, imagine that!  It is listed as the
ALT-E macro on the SHORTCUT keyboard.  While a separate editing feature for
tabs might be useful, the EDIT.WPM macro works on almost any code, certainly
all of those listed in APPENDIX H: KEYBOARDS section of the WP51 manual.

In the classes that I teach, I have the participants use the ORIGINAL keyboard
and just rename or copy the EDIT.WPM amcro as the ALTE.WPM macro.  Now you have
a macro that will edit almost ANY code, just highlight the code in reveal
codes, press ALT-E, (if you renamed the macro, otherwise ALT-F10, and type
EDIT), and you are in the screen that produced that code.  Better yet, there
are no additional codes to clutter your reveal codes screen.

Give it a try, I'd rather have one macro that works like that than a hundred
that do the same thing on each individual code.

Is there any way to change the defaults for border type, space,

If the field is not at it's own in the line you may try

{FIELD}1* {IF NOT BLANK}2*{FIELD}2* {ENDIF}{FIELD}3*

(* = tilde)
This means: if field 2 is not blank, give field 2 plus 1 space, if
field 2 is blank give only field 3.

I'm glad to here about WPDM2.ZIP.  If that doesn't work, I've had success
using Norton's disk editing program to locate and blank out the offending
section of the document.  You must identify exactly where the problem
begins in the document and then locate that place with a program that
edits binary files.  Replace the corrupted section with blanks and then
retrieve back into WordPerfect and replace the missing information.
Usually the corrupt section ends at a track or sector boundary.  Of
course, always try this on a backup copy of the document so that you
don't make things worse.

From past experience with WordPerfect, they recommend that you try
the following when a document has unwanted codes that seem to corrupt
the file.

They tell you to go into the convert program that comes with
WordPerfect change the file to RTF format.  Then change the file back
from RTF to WordPerfect format, this is supposed to strip out all of
the corruption in a file.  However, it also strips out graphics,
tables, and just about any other special code and leaves you with
just the text (which may be good in this case).

Hope this is of some help.

Warning!
The macro programming environment MPE4WP12.ZIP as can be downloaded
from wuarchive.wustl.edu (pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS) contains a number of
useful macro's to be used in macro editing. These macro's seem to have
been programmed using the US/UK version of WordPerfect. Whenever a
menu selection is made by these macro's the corresponding menu
LETTERS are used in stead of the menu NUMBERS. This causes
strange things to occur if these macro's are used in a foreign
version of WP, as I noticed with my Dutch one.
Beware!

Has anyone already adapted the macro's to use numbers? It would save
me a lot of time switching between the Dutch and the US version.

   Years ago we coded and generated an index on a large 212K 5.0 file.
   Recently we corrected parts of the index and tried to regenerate it as
   a 5.1 file.  The index would not generate, instead it would hang up
   at a certain step, usually the sixth pass.  Any help appreciated.

I remember trying to do an index once, with great frustration.  That was
until I read in the manual that the index must appear after the last marked
item, in the document.  Could it be that some of your recent corrections were
place after the Index Define Code?  If so delete the old one and define a new
one, at the end of the document to avoid future problems.

P.S. If you're using Endnotes, remember the last code is a hard page break!

Subject:      Word Perfect 5.1 Problem

From: Russell Perrin
Regarding the problem where a user with a large (100+ page) document was
getting strange error messages.

This may be of little comfort, but we have experienced the same problem. It
was the same situation (large document with numerous tables) although we were
also using styles (which I suspected was at the heart of the problem.)
Reducing document size seemed to be the only solution that worked. See if you
user is willing to break the file into two files. Also, for something that
large, you might want to look into Ventura or its ilk. It is very nice about
maintaining a consistent style across entire documents, and IMHO, results in
much less effort and better results than trying to do a project of that size
entirely in WP. Of course I know extremely little about what the user is
actually trying to produce, so your mileage may vary.

Subject:      List files - default display

I believe if you set WP up to always use "Long Document Names" (through the
SETUP), the default file listing automatically changes to the long display.
If you want the short display to be the default, I think you would just have
to undo this "Long Document Name" setup feature.

Not sure....but I *think* that's what's causing it.
