Have you ever worked with the Table feature? You would create a 2
column table with 1 or more rows. When you're done typing in the
text, return to the table edit menu (Alt-F7), block the entire
table, select Lines, All, None to erase all the lines. No-one
will be the wiser as to how you set it up.

You could put your tables in user boxes and rotate them to print landscape.

Subject:      re: dbase to WP secondary merge

Here is yet another way to convert dbase records to WP secondary
merge format.

From dBase, open your database. At the dot prompt type

COPY TO newfilename DELIMITED

This will create an ASCII Delimited file that will separate each
field with a comma, each record with a carriage return/line feed
code and add "" around text fields.

Exit dbase. Start WP's CONVERT utility. Enter the input filename
(the delimited file), the output filename (the new WP secondary
merge file) then pick #9 from the menu (Mail Merge to WordPerfect
Secondary Merge).

When asked for the field delimiters, enter a comma (,). Type and enter
{13}{10} for the record delimiters (these are the ASCII values for
carriage return and line feed. Enter " as the character to be stripped.

The file will be converted to WP secondary merge format complete with
{END FIELD} and {END RECORD} codes. All you have left to do is the
actual merge.

Regards.

I wonder what kind of printer you're trying to print to. I don't
know this, but wonder of this option only works for laser printers?
If you're trying to print to a laser printer, there must be either
a bug in your software or some kind of hardware problem (what I
don't know.) I guess I would call WP Corp printer support and find out.

I lost track of this thread (didn't have time to read everything!) so, I don't
know if this was mentioned.

Make sure you have a recent version of WP5.1.  The 'even'-'odd' feature was
added somewhere along the way.

I think my version is UK Feb 1991, and it works with that one.

Hi,

I've got WordPerfekt 5.1 and an OKI 380 dot-printer. Because of
noise while printing I'm going to buy a ink-printer, for example
the Deskjet 500. Because of working most time with WP the choosen
printer depend of the print-features it has got.

So which ink-printer has got the most different print-fonts. What I
do N O T want is the following: 9-dot printer has got no difference
between "large" and "very large". Are there ink-printer doing the same ?

Thanks for any information

Have you tried using WordPerfect's PTR program to look at the .PRS file?
You might find what you want by poking around in there.  Just save a copy
of the original .PRS file before you start making changes.

As an experiment, you can set justification to Left, enter the printer code
for NLQ justification in the text (Format, Other, Printer Functions,
Printer command), write a few lines and try printing it.  If you like what
you get then it's worth pursuing.

Yes, I have the flyer in front of me titled "Customer Advantage Program -
for Qualified Education Accounts." (801) 228-9505 or fax (801) 222-2377 for
information about C.A.P.

As I understand it:
Under this program WPCorp provides you with copies of all their programs
and documentation for every platform and every language they support on CD-
ROM.  They are supposed to send new stuff monthly so you would always have
the newest stuff.  When you need to install a new user you copy the
programs you need with whatever portion of the documentation you decide to
offer and report your added users on a quarterly basis.  You get one
license number for every WordPerfect product on campus.

There's a one-time minimal program cost when you add a new user and a
yearly maintenance fee per user.  To qualify you need 500 product licenses
or a purchase up to that number (at the discounted rates of course) and
a yearly maintenance fee for each license.

It's an attractive offer for campuses using WordPerfect products widely.
Pay your money once each year and not worry the rest of the time; immediate
response for new users.

I suspect that smaller schools come out ahead with 8 for 1 but may opt for
it anyway just for the convenience.

Remember this is my interpretation of information I received from
WordPerfect.  But it might be worth a call.

Subject: Re: portrait page numbers on landscape pages

Following up John's response to "Moby" Dick who was concerned about how
to orient a page number on a landscape page, yes, put that ^B inside a
box and orient it where you want it.  I've had to keep page numbers in
the upper right hand corner of pages that had tables running landscape.
I considered putting the tables in boxes, but I ran into that good, old
trap: TOO MUCH TEXT.  Aargh!  Then I thought about how the page was
oriented--right portrait = bottom landscape.  Because I needed this
page number to appear for 20 consecutive pages, I put the graphics box
into a footer and turned the page numbering off until I reached the
end of the table.  It took a while to figure out where to put the Alt-F6
command to place the box properly and to remember to set the options
for outside clearance to 0", but eventually I got it to work.  Of course,
it was a little embarrassing the first time when I forgot to turn off
page numbering and had it appear upper right landscape and upper right
portrait simultaneously--to say nothing of forgetting to reset the page
orientation after the end of the table.  But that, too, passed.

Good luck!

Hmmmm. For the most part it sounds like the spell check is working
correctly. :-) The spell checker does NOT remember capitalization
(it's only concerned with spelling). When you say it misses
contractions - do you mean it doesn't stop on any contracted word?
If so, it may be because the most commonly contracted words are
included in the main dictionary and are considered to be spelled
correctly. I didn't understand the part about is accumulating
words with 12 x's in the supplemental dictionary. However, if it's
accumulating words you DON'T want, don't select the ADD option.
That's the only way to add words to the supplemental dictionary file
(unless you retrieve that file and add words to it).

Remember, this is only a spell checker, not a grammar checker. It's
only purpose is to check the spelling of a word, not it's context.
(However, if you use WordPerfect for Windows, version 5.2 just
started to ship and it now includes Grammatik, a grammar checker).
