My wife creates checklists in WordPerfect 5.1 documents, but
creating the check-mark boxes one at a time is tedious. To
speed the process, I wrote a macro that automatically adds
boxes to optionally numbered paragraphs.
Start the macro and enter a number, optionally followed by a
period. Press <Enter>, and then type a paragraph. Press
<Enter> again, and the macro will create a small graphics
box to the left of the number. You can then restart the
macro to create another checked item.

Editor's note: I can think of dozens of great uses for this
macro. You could use it to prepare multiple-choice tests,
opinion polls, or even shopping lists.
[The figure below shows the macro commands as they appear in
the macro editor, but you don't have to enter the macro
yourself; it's included, ready to run, in the file
P4WPM\ALTC.WPM on your PowerBase disk.]
In your document, press <Alt>-C to begin a new check-mark
paragraph. If you wish to number your paragraphs, type in a
number and press <Enter>. Otherwise, just press <Enter>. Be
sure to press <Enter> after the optional number and at the
end of each paragraph.
