README for GLOSS.WCM and GLOSSADD.WCM
GLOSS.WCM is a WordPerfect for Windows macro that can expand a
word or abbreviation at the cursor into a longer form you
define.
Unlike the GLOSSARY.WCM that is shipped with WPWin, which
requires complex and careful editing of the macro itself every
time a word is to be added to the glossary, and which is quite
slow, GLOSS.WCM and its companion macro GLOSSADD.WCM make
adding items to the glossary easy, and work quickly.
To install these macros, just put them in your WPWin macros
directory. To try them out, you'll first have to add some
words to the glossary. Chose Macro and then Play from the
menus, and pick GLOSSADD.WCM from the list. Run it a few times
to add a few abbreviations and expansions to the glossary.
Then start a new document, and type one of the abbreviations
you entered. Leve the cursor immediately after it, and run
GLOSS.WCM. You should see the abbreviation be replaced by the
expanded form you entered.
For easier use, rename GLOSS.WCM to CTRLG.WCM (which will cause
it to be run whenever you press Control-G), or put it on your
Button Bar, or add it to your Macros menu, or all three.
GLOSSADD.WCM is also a good candidate for being added to your
button bar, Macros menu, or both.
Note: these macros will not work with versions of WPWin prior
to the April 1992 interim release.
These macros are released to the public domain; no rights reserved.
