Subject: Using Master/Child Documents With Option Codes
Date: 6 Jan 93 19:51:42 GMT
Organization: Tufts University - Medford, MA

Hi.  I'm writing my Masters Thesis using WP 5.1 (both DOS and Win),
and had a question regarding the use of master documents.
I find that for the size this paper should be, using a subdoc for each
chapter will work nicely, but I don't know how to handle option codes.

For example, I'd like to set all my margins, figure options, kerning,
etc. just once, in the master document.  That way I can change things
quickly and easily.  Having to change my left margins for binding is
one thing that comes to mind.

My first question is ambiguity: do "document initial codes" in a
subdoc override either "document initial codes" or true codes in the
master?  Or does the subdocument only override the master if the
subdoc has an actual inserted code?

Secondly, and more importantly, how do certain options propogate when
the subdoc is *not* expanded into the master?  When I condense the
master, and choose to 'save' the subdoc, are the master's "initial
codes" given to the subdoc?  If so, then should I have my margins,
tabs, and such set in the masters "initical codes" instead of just in
the master doc?  I will need, for proofreading, to be able to print
just one subdoc at a time.  But, if not expanded, will all my margins
and tabs be different?  If I separately print a subdoc, I want some
way for it to have the footer and page numbering I've defined in the
master.  Perhaps a way to expand only one subdoc into the master?

Sorry, that's a lot to ask in one message, but I really need to start
writing this #$@! paper, and the manual seemed awfully vague.
:-)

				Thanks for *any* help,
				Michael

Bill,  I have printed equations in footnotes successfully, so I may be
able to help you with your problem, but it would be easier if you could
be more specific.  For instance:  1.  Are these equations in equation
boxes?  2.  If yes, how arethe equations anchored (i.e. page, paragraph,
character)?  I wouldn't try to use page anchored equations in a
footnote.  WP may not even allow that.  Character anchored equations
work well though.  3.  What does your equation setup menu say about
spacing and alignment?

We use a product called Word For Word.  It can convert to/from about 90
different file formats, including (of course) into several WP flavors.
It deals very nicly with footnotes/endnotes and all the imbedded
formatting in the original document.

Subject:      trouble with hyphenation

An odd thing happened with WP5.1 that I'd never encountered before:

Having written a 20-page document, I then added a Hyphenation On code
at the top.  Scrolling down the page to "activate" the hyphenation
prompts (I have Hyphenation set up to prompt in every case), the cursor
froze midway--and always at the same line (tried this several times)--
perhaps at the first place it encountered a possible hyphenation case?
Couldn't get out with Cancel, had to reboot.  Didn't work any better with
page-down, or home-home-down arrow.  When I tried saving the file with
the Hyphenation-On code in it and then retrieving the file again, the
same problem occurred.  The US hyphenation module is where Set-Up says
it is, and the language is set to US.

What could be the problem here?

There should be two easy ways to solve the problems of your users without
having to buy another packet (WP is distributing its own 'ConvertPerfect for
converting different word-processing files at least in Germany):
You could change the style of the foot/endnotes in the footnote / options or
endnotes/options menu : Just kill the superscript Code and replace it by any yo
u or your users need
REcord a short macro doing yust the thingsyou described in your question.
You can make the macro call itself when you add the macro command, give the
name of the macro and type Ctrl-v then enter. this is not very elegant, but
 does a good job for users with many footnotes. It will stop, after the last
footnote by itself.
Another possibility might be to change the appearance of the footnote in the
 source text - could help, too.
Good luck, Bernd

I don't have any answers about how the code propagation/priority works
between master & subdocuments.  However, when you want to print a selected
chapter I suggest expanding the master document then use the multiple page
option on the print screen to specify which pages you want to print.
For example, assume you use roman numbering on your initial pages (title
page, table of contents, etc.) then switch to arabic numbering when you
start the actual text of the document.  If chapter two uses pages 30-56
then you would expand the document, print (Shift-F7), multiple pages, and
enter a page number of  2:30-56. Only those pages would print.

Hope this helps.

I have used a fairly crude macro to do this - see below:

It should do more error checking to be completely robust, but it serves
my purposes.  Note that a paper size must be defined that puts the address
in a suitable place on the envelope.  To use the macro, put the cursor at
the start of the address, then run the macro.

 Here's a WP5.1 macro that I use to capture addresses:
{Block}{Up}{Up}{Up}{Up}{Home Left}
{Save}adr{Enter}{Enter}{Enter}

It blocks the preceding four lines and saves them as "adr."

My printing macro--for the HP IIIP--is:
{Switch}{Home}{Home}{Home}{Up}
{Format}psnenvelope{Enter}lm4{Enter}00
{Retrieve}adr{Enter}{Home}{Home}{Home}{Up}
{Char}1~{Del to EOP}Put envelope in tray; switch to front output tray;
press ENTER to print (also press "On Line" on printer)~

{Print}p{Format}psnStandard{Enter}s00{Exit}ny

This macro switches to Doc 2 to create the envelope, formats for a 
4" margin, and puts a message on screen instructing how to ready the
printer. Then it retrieves "adr", reformats for normal size paper,
and exits from Doc 2.  It needs a way to check whether Doc 2 is in use,
but I haven't gotten to that yet.

Subject:      Paperclip Technique

In WordPerfect 5.1 you can use a technique which I've heard
described as the Paperclip feature. This can be a useful feature
for special situations. It works as follows; if you have the cursor
located at a particular location A, and then make a "major" jump,
anyone of many such as PgDn, or Home Home Up-arrow, etc., to a new
location B, you can relocate the cursor back to the original
location A by pressing Ctrl-Home TWICE. It behaves as if you had
placed a marker or paperclip at the point A. For those of you who
haven't seen this work, you might be interested enough to try it.
The question arises: what constitutes a major jump?

Does anyone have any ideas? WordPerfect Corp wasn't very helpful.

If you are doing a large number of addresses why not use merge codes to pull in
the addresses to each envelope?  Or did you want to write a macro to handle one
address/letter at a time?

We use VAX/VMS WP, which has similar function key use to Unix WP.  With Kermit
3.10 I got a file called WP30.INI.  This defines keystroke sequences for the PC
keys so that you can use the WP DOS keystrokes (eg Shift-F7 for PRINT), and
Kermit actually sends the PF1, F13 escape codes to make the VAX WP do PRINT.
If you are used to DOS WP, this is much easier to use than trying to remember
which PC key corresponds to PF3, and which to F14 etc.

The version of WP30.ini I received needed some editing, but the file is well
commented so it was easy to figure out what to do.

Also Kermit will switch your display into 132 column mode (if it will do it),
so you even get a decent print preview.

Of all the terminal emulators for use with WP I have seen, I like Kermit best,
but WP uses so many of the VT220 features even our hardware "equivalents" (Wyse)
sometimes don't do the tright thing.

pull them into wordperfect as secondary merge files then

The reason is that since ascii delimited files don't have

Ive done a merge and convert to envelope addresses the way the manual

A few questions..

frequently, block protect does not work for me.  wp will move the
block protect codes to put a table or equation in and this messes
things up.


when I go to print a large document, wp tells me 'document may need
generating, print anyway?', this happens even after I generate the
document.

very often, generate does not correctly place the footnotes and refs
at the end of the document.

any help would also be appreiciated...
