The key to automating your administrative tasks with WordPerfect is the use of templates, normally containing styles and macros, and perhaps mail merges. Styles help to keep the format of sections in a document consistent throughout the document. Much has already been published about using templates, styles, mail merge, and macros, so I won't try to describe details of usage here. Styles with Templates Styles are useful in templates for keeping corporate document formats standard. If documents use common components like section headings, header and footer formats, title pages, etc., these standards can be put into styles that can be re-used for each template.
Styles can also be useful for simplifying conversion between output forms.
This allows you to use one single document for both types of output, giving you a single document to keep updated. Beyond Prompt Builder A popular way to expand template-based documents is to allow user input for filling in certain fields of the document created by a template. However, one of the common questions about the prompt builder is how to get around the 12-field limit of the prompt builder. Another question is how to get more control over what the user enters in each field of the prompt builder. The powerful solution to all these issues is the use of macros tied into the features of templates.
