In WP5.1 for DOS the answer is "yes" and it's straight forward.  If you
want to replace all (or some) occurences of

                              text
with

                   [SUPRSCPT]newtext[suprscpt]

then what you need to do is

1.  Use <ALT><F2> for search and replace.  Specify Y or N as usual to
    tell WP wether or not you want to confirm.

2.  Enter oldtext as the search target.

3.  When you're prompted for the replacment type <CTRL><F8> 1 1 to enter
    the [SUPRSCPT]code then type newtext then type <CTRL><F8> 11 to enter
    the [suprscpt] code.

4.  Finish with <F2> as usual.

Good choice. The DeskJet is very quiet. And well-made, of course. The
Canon BJ10e(x) is a lot noisier and, in my opinion, fragile.

If you choose the Canon, the paper feeder is essential, as another writer
pointed out.

You'll encounter this problem with almost any non-laser printer. Buy a
software font package, such as Bitstream for WordPerfect, or MoreFonts,
and then you can have Times Roman, etc.

Paper quality is a consideration. Standard laser paper (40M) isn't good
enough for fine copy, because the ink "wicks". The "laid" papers work quite
well, though they are expensive. Alternately, Weyerhaeuser "First Choice" 
produces excellent copy for about 50% more in cost over standard laser paper.

The title says it all (mostly). We have a report that we print from WP5.1
(for DOS) to HP LaserJet 3 machines that ends in a series of tables printed
in landscape mode.  We'd like to continue to print the page numbers in 
portrait mode (centered at the bottom of the page, with the table running
"up" from there).  The report editor just tried playing with text direction
and couldn't make it happen.  I have to believe there's a trick for doing
this, but I admit I've never tried, and our references don't cover it.

Anyone ever done this?  Email responses appreciated, and any winning
solutions will be posted!

It seems that there was some confusion with my previous request.  We have

to WordPerfect for the Macintosh.  If  we can transfer them to WordPerfect 5.1
or 4.2 for MSDOS we can then use Apple File Exchange on the Mac to transfer
them to WordPerfect 2.1 for the Mac.  So, does anyone have a suggestion how
we can transfer PFS Professional Write to WP 5.1 or 4.2?  Thanks

I am using timed backups regularly on my Novell network. We don't have any

Subject: Re: Which INK(Bubble-Jet)-Printer for WP ?

I (and my site) currently use several Ink-Bubble type printers.  Specifically
the HP Deskjet series and the Cannon BJ series.

I have been *VERY* impressed with these printers.  Especially the HP Deskjet
from MS-Windows apps.  I actually own one of the original HP Deskjets and use it
extensively at my home office for network diagrams and everyday corespondance.
I also use the same paper we use in our LN03Rs, LN05Rs, and IBM 40x9 printers at
the office.  You do *NOT* need special paper with these printers.  I can't
imagine what a DeskJet 500 or 500C would do, but it must be phenomial
considering what I get out of the original model.  It is not as crisp as an
actual 300 dpi postscript printer and definately slower, but only my overly
critical eye can tell and I really don't need speed (I do want it, also a DEC
ALPHA machine, a 80786, a MAC III, FDDI, etc at home...)

One thing,  If you get a Cannon Bubble Jet portible printer, get the sheet
feeder (Unless you *always* plan to use fanfold paper)  It is a *MUST* to feed
paper correctly.

I have only seen the ads for the new HP portibles on TV, but they sound really
nice. Would seriously check them out fi I was in the market for a portible
printer for myself.

The only thing you have to be wary of is smearing the paper before it dries.
Don't pick it up immediately after printing, let it sit for 30 sec. However,
with HP's new ink, this is hardly an issue and a 30 sec wait is not a big deal.
(Of course, the ink will smear if you get water on it, but have you ever left a
laser printout on your car seat in the sun?  MAJOR MESS!!!  My wife almost
killed me when I did it in our new car.  Thank God the local car wash was able
to get it out.)

A simple macro, [CTRL-F2], 4, which initiates the selection of the
supplementary dictionary, will do most of what you want. The current
supplementary dictionary will be displayed. If you want to leave
unchanged, press either enter or cancel; change it otherwise.

Unfortunately not. The supplementary dictionary is a system attribute,
not part of the individual file, as you seem to have already decided.

Good luck

presence of mind to reply to it at the time.  The following

I have to believe that an article that has the cooperation of

WordPerfect for Windows to get grammar checker

by Jeanette Borzo

WordPerfect Corp. plans to announce an update to its Windows word
processor today that offers users fast indexing and integrated grammar
checking.

WordPerfect 5.2 will also be mail enabled and an Object Linking and
Embedding (OLE) client, as previously reported.

Due to ship by month end for a $39.95 upgrade price, the $495 word
processor includes Reference Software International's Grammatik 5, an
integrated grammar checker.

"It's awfully nice to have Grammatik as an integrated tool," said beta
tester Tony Rairden of Rairden Associates, in Nashville, Tenn.

A new feature called QuickFinder lets users index files to accelerate
text retrieval.

"QuickFinder is my favorite aspect of 5.2," Rairden said.  "The speed
is just phenomenal, and you can set up multiple directories across
drives in a single index."

"The QuickFinder feature is something WordPerfect users need" said
Bill Kesselring, an analyst at San Jose, Calif.-based Dataquest.
"They tend to write longer, more integrated documents."

New macros automatically search and replace formatting codes, create
pleading forms for law offices, insert postal bar codes into
documents, and substitute commonly used words or phrases for
abbreviations the user enters into a glossary.

"Because we do a lot of mailings, [the bar code macro] is definitely
an advantage," said beta tester Melissa Curran-Yepes, senior associate
at Price-Waterhouse Inc., in Tampa, Fla.

Version 5.2's OLE features also pleased users.  (See "WordPerfect
update to offer mail support," October 19, page 1.)

"The OLE [capability] is very important to us," said Curran-Yepes.
"We are deploying a suite of Windows applications.  They all have to
work together to be efficient productivity tools.  This brings us much
closer to that."

 Ron Dippold has uploaded the latest version of his WPCRACK program
    to wuarchive.wustl.edu in the pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS directory as

You may ftp to MSDOS.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU, change to the directory

Susan use the Compose feature (Ctrl+2) and then type CO, You'll probably

You can buy an ink bubble jet printer and you'll
pay through the nose for the paper.  They can't print useably on regular
paper since they can't print without smudging on paper that
has any cloth content.  Or you can buy a laser printer and
pay for the printer and be able to use any paper afterwards.
You pays your money and takes your choice.

Have you tried doing a search and replace on the ascii text file?
Search for [Hrt] and replace with [End Field]. Then search for [Hpg]
and replace with [End Record]. You can then place the [Field Names]
at the beginning of the file.

I worked on a Dbase ==> WP merge program once upon a time, and "reverse
engineered" the file format by analyzing a wordperfect notebook .nb file.

It was for a former employer, so I no longer have the details.

I'm suprised at the shrugged shoulders in utah - I think they have a
developers kit or some such for around $75.00 which I thought had
all the file formats, etc.

hope this helps,

I don't remember where I saw the sorce code for a utility to extract
a forgotten password in a password protected WordPerfect File.
Can anybody help me out on this one?

Thanks in advance,

I've frequently noticed that when I do a search of a bunch of files in
a directory (choosing 9 "find" and then 4 "entire document" on the
bottom of the directory display; hope I have those numbers right), the
search actually misses things; later I find that the string I was
searching for was indeed in one of the files.

One of my colleagues reports this same failure.

So is this just a fact of life--searches are not infallible?  I have
version 5.1 03/09/92 (hope that's right--the latest update as of now,
anyway).
