A friend recently asked if Word Perfect has support for standard 
style such as MLA and APA typographical styles.  Is support for 
these standards provided with the Word Perfect distribution disks, 
or is it available?

Subject:      Sizing Super/Subscripts

In response to the question about printing superscripts and subscripts
in the same size as the default font, the following procedure should do
it:

Choose <SHIFT><F1> (Setup).

From the resulting menu choose 4. Initial Settings.

Choose Print Options (I forget the number).

One of the items on the next menu allows you to specify the relative size
(in percent) of fine, small, large, extra large, very large, and sub/super
script print.  You'll find the setting for sub/superscripts is initially
60%.  Change that to 100% to make the size of sub/superscripts the same as
the base font.

Good luck.

I recently tried  BitFax for DOS, and it worked perfectly on the

underlining, and works with many different word processors, including
WordPerfect.

They also have a Windows version of the software.

Subject:      Re: Date code to Date text macro ideas wanted

   I have not found a way to "replace" date code with date text.  Doing a
   serach for date code, backspace, then add the date text works, but messes
   up if there is no date code found.  I don't know enough about macros to
   be able to do conditionals in this way.

Sounds like the Replace feature (Alt-F2) is what you want!  It will do every
thing you describe above, except "mess up" if no [Date Code] is found.  If
the search condition does not exist, a message of "Not Found" will appear in
the lower left of the status line, and the Replace feature ends.  This will
also do away with the need for a macro, unless you wish to have one do all
the work (call Replace, answer <Y/N> to Confirm, insert [Date Code] for the
Search portion, and insert [Date Text] for the Replace portion).

>William Schultz, New Concord,OH

I have been using ScreenExtender and like it very much. It is not the same
as using the View screen. Essentially it is a series of alternate screen
fonts (there are a choice of of few different fonts, a Roman type font
and 2 san serif fonts, all choices come in "thin" and "thick" form.
But the real advantage is that you can size your text screen with
different numbers of characters across and lines down the screen. For
example I usually use 90x30 so that I can see a full line of text on
the screen with proportional fonts. The other advantage is that you
can have underline, italics, small caps, subscript + superscripts, large
and small fonts all displayed on the screen. Now this is not realy WYSYWIG
like wordperfect for windows, but it is a real improvement over the standard
wordperfect screen. 
The only disadvantages which I have found are that the system now runs in
graphics mode so it is slightly slower. I have a fast computer so the
I don't mind at all, but the performance penalty may be worse on a 8088 or
80286 system. On a 386SX or faster I certainly barely notice the difference.
The second disadvantage is that since your screen is in graphics mode
some TSR programs have problems popping up unless you return the screen
to mono mode. There are hotkeys to return to mono Dos mode or for
other screen sizes, so this isn;t a major problem but a minor annoyance.
Basically I highly recommend the program and would never go back to
standard WP without it. And I hate using windows.

   I've just started trying to do some basic macro programing with WP (for
   DOS) and would like it if someone could give me instructions on how to
   do a basic loop ...

Look in Appendix K of the WP reference manual, for about 100 pages of macro
commands.  Look at the {FOR} and {WHILE} codes; there are specific examples
of creating loops listed there (notice {END FOR} & {END WHILE} are essential
to end the loop.  Another way is to use the {LABEL}, {IF}, {END IF}, and {GO}
codes to form a loop.

P.S. This method is free, you can also buy a macro and/or programming book.

To work with superscript and subscript sizes, Shift-F1 (Setup),

the size of the superscripts/subscripts to whatever percent of the base

I just called WordPerfect Corp.   They say they don't sell or otherwise
distribute copies of the instructor's certification exam unless
you're actually testing to be an instructor.

They also knew of no good assessment/diagnostic exams, though
they thought one would be handy.

Does anyone know how to get copies of the instructor's certification

I got BitFAX with my modem.  If you want to send anything more complicated 
than the bare WP51 text, you won't get much from it.  It ignores things like 
tables, graphics, equations, etc.  It uses its own font set.  It doesn't 
justify lines, so if you were writing for, say HP DeskJet CG Times 12pt, 
you're going to get funny ragged lines.  In short, it's very primitive.  I 
don't know if later versions fix this horrendous shortcoming.

A buddy of mine uses WinFAX.  It's great - WYSIWYF (. . . WHAT YOU FAX).  I 
imagine DOSFAX would work well, too.  I'm looking into purchasing that one.  
If you run Windows, then WinFAX sends all Windows fonts (3.1 TrueTypes are 
beautiful).

That's a very stupid policy on Word Perfect's part.
Not at least having old exams available this is done in ham radio circles
for a very simple reason, support.
Maybe the people at WP corp don't like revamping their tests.
If it takes 4 weeks that people are allowed to complete there must
have been much work that went into it.  All commercial word processor
companies should make more than one of these tests at
any given time so that sample tests can be
freely distributed and the real ones kept controlled.  This is what you
get when the word processing manual doesn't conform to
Micro emacs standards though.  Had wordperfect done that a test
section would have been built into each chapter.
But then again the manual would have been a tutorial and
not a reference work and that would have
really caused users problems!

I imagine you could write a macro to do this.  When you want to save the
file, execute the macro rather than f7 or f10.  You could also redefine
f7 and f10 so as to run your macro.  Of course, getting the date placed in
the correct location of the document might be a little tricky, it would 
depend on how standardized your forms are.

I'm trying to figure out what skill levels in using WordPerfect 5.1
the members of our about 40 person office staff are at.  Most of the
people do use WordPerfect on a daily basis, but with widely differing
levels of expertise.  Does anyone know of effective and easy to
administer assessment tests on WordPerfect, that might let us
most easily determine the sorts of inhouse workshops we might need
to offer to improve productivity?

Thanks
