Karen, Have you tried to look at the files. I think you will find
that they are UUENCODED. They first have to be uncoded using
UUDECODE and then unziped. Hope this helps.

The solution may be of more general interest, so I'm following-up to the
list, rather than mailing a private reply.

WP not treating an em dash as any sort of hyphen is easily overcome --
simply place a [ISRt] code immediately after the dash char (I'm not sure
what typographic convention is here; maybe before the dash is more
correct ?).  The [ISRt] code is created by pressing <Home>, <Enter> -- I
think it is known as a dormant soft-return -- and is essentially trested
as a zero-width space.  If WP needs to break a line at a [ISRt] code it
will. otherwise it won't effect anything.

Hope this helps,

Are there any addons (FTP-able preferred) to WP51 which would allow my Trident

I do not receive news here, so could you please EMAIL me your responses.

how to use the emacs style key bindings I had created to use with wp

I had, but misplaced, a macro snitched from the Wordperfect Mag
that swapped the case of a character. In other words, it made w

Anyone have this on line, or know what issue it appeared in?

I guess maybe my choice of words wasn't the greatest ("clean" and "sloppy")
when referring to the "bold spaces" issue.  But some people have understood
what I meant, judging from the responses.  Of course, a great many of the WP
users in the world have no need for such accuracy in coding, but learning
some of the basics isn't too hard, and the more perfect the coding the more
able you are to make changes through search-and-replace, style changes, font
changes, etc. etc.  I imagine that in some situations something as apparently
minor as "bold spaces" could cause a lot of trouble in reformatting a
document.

Someday I plan to work through that competency test; I'm sure I'll learn a
lot through it (and it'll be more fun than just reading the manual straight
through, which I have heard someone on the list talk about...)

Now, if I just knew of better editing capabilities on our e-mail program...

Subject:      overstriking

I use overstrike quite often, and today I ran into a problem: when trying to
overstrike (Sh-F8,4,5,1), only the first of two characters I chose would
print (the second one was from character set 9), plus I got a large space
(about 10 characters) after the overstriking.
It happened using various character sets; using only keyboard keys there
was no problem.
I selected a different printer (1st was EPSON FX-86E, second was PANASONIC
KX-P1191, both dot-matrix; the 2nd is the "real" printer, the 1st is what
it emulates), and then it worked.
This document includes graphics and is written in newspaper columns, but
deleting "columns on" and the graphics made no difference.
I even deleted the whole document, including all codes, and left just
the overstriked word, but it instead of printing (or showing in SH-F7,6)
e.g., the word "dog" overstriked by something, it printed like this:
"d          o          g" with no overstriking.
Even opening a new document and trying just that word didn't work. Changing
fonts or print quality didn't help.
It's strange, because I overstrike these same characters quite a lot,
and it never happened before.

Any ideas about what could have gone wrong would be appreciated.

Summary: Question about large files on WP

   How well does WordPerfect handle large files?  I understand there is some
kind of automatic swapping of data to disk to allow editing of files larger 
than the available RAM. 
   The reason I ask is that I'm planning on writing my Master's thesis on
WP5.1, and my computer only has 640k of RAM, although it does have lots of
room on its hard drive.  Is this going to cause me any problems? I will be 
using the Master Document feature, with a lot of "Generated" items (table of
contents/figures/tables, footnotes, endnotes, reference list, etc.), and 
equations.

Personally I'd choose WP51 if it's for drawing graphs and all other things
being equal.  That's mostly because DrawPerfect is largely concerned with
drawing graphs and Corel Draw is primarily concerned with drawing pictures.  Of
course there is also the convenience of being able to link DrawPerfect and
WordPerfect.  Lastly, there may be a hard-disk-space consideration.  Corel Draw
is very greedy of space, and I'm not sure that it can use Vector Graphics.  If
it can't then your files will be very large, and slow to import to WordPerfect
and process for printing.  Hope this helps... I've actually not used Corel Draw
for a long long time.

    Am I right in believing that what Peter Dorman
    means is the dash as a substitute for brackets,
    to separate, say, a comment from the main flow of
    the sentence?

    If so, what is needed is the extended ASCII
    character produced by holding down ALT while
    typing 196 *on the keypad* ; this prints out much
    like the printer's en-dash, and does not
    conflict with the hyphenating routines.

Subject:      RE: hyphens

     If you are interested in the "search and destroy" of the hyphens
then remember this -- after a text image was scanned and then converted
back into text, you probably ended up with what WP calls a "soft hyphen."

     I admit I don't know all of the hullaballoo about hyphens in WP,
but I do know that there is a difference between a hard hyphen and a
soft hyphen.  I you look in the reveal codes screen, a hyphen typed
by itself creates the code [-].  I think this has something to do with
WP's automatic hyphenation feature.  In order to get a soft hyphen you
have to type <home><->.  In the reveal codes screen it looks just like
a plain hyphen.

     So anyway, if you want to search and replace the soft hyphens,
do and Alt-F2, no confirm, <home><->, and then whatever you want to
replace it with.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,
How does one select a ***default*** printer? Lately I've been using a certain
printer much more than in the past, and I'd like that to be the default, rather
than selecting it for each document as I create it. (I've chosen "NO" for
"format for default printer?" in the setup menu, but I still have to select
the printer when I first create the document).

Thanks.

Baskerville is available on a commercial basis in CD format on the
Monotype Classic Font Library.  Here in the UK, Monotype have agreed an
education purchase scheme which makes the more popular fonts available to
Universities and Colleges at a realistic price.  Presumably the same is
true on the other side of the pond?

The Font Library is geared to the IBM PC.  Don't know whether it can
easily interface to Macintosh.

To find hyphens in documents which have been converted from
ASCII, you have to search for soft(?) hyphens, which are just
regular hyphens preceded by hitting the Home key.  The keystroke
sequence would be F2,Home,- to find the first one.

At work I recently inherited a 115 record Paradox database, mainly a list of pe
ople and demographic info.  The problem is that the data entry person entered t
he records in mixed case (e.g., Smith instead of SMITH) so we have been having
trouble sorting them.

I thought that perhaps if I exported the database from Paradox to WP51, highlig
hted the offending records, then used Shift-F3 to make everything uppercase, my
 probelm would be easily solved.  I tried this, saved the doc as DOS text, and
everything was still uppercase.  I checked the document, but there weren't any
codes either before or after indicating use of switch case.  The import to Para
dox was successful, but Paradox returned the text to normal mixed case.  What a

I set our machines up with a startup macro that goes into the print

Then I wrote the batch file that always starts wp to be 

     wp /m-startup

This way the printer named in the macro is always the default -- the
user can change printers during a session.

The hyphen in your document may have been either a Hard Hyphen (Home then -)
or a soft hyphen ([Ctrl] -). Try a search and replace on these two codes and see

if it works.

Be sure to specify them to be binary.  Use BGET from FTP.  If you use K
