A WordPerfect 5.1 macro I designed is popular in our office.
Maybe others will find it useful too. The macro performs a
simple job--it inserts spaces to the right of the cursor,
pushing aside any text that's there.
[This macro is included, as the file ALTI.WPM, in the P4WPM
directory on your PowerBase *.* Volume IV diskette. The text
of the macro appears below for reference.]

Editor's note: To use the macro, load your document and move
the cursor to where you want to insert spaces, then press
<Alt>-I. As you'll see, the cursor stays where it is instead
of moving as it does when you insert blanks by pressing
<Space>. This makes the macro a handy tool for aligning
tables, creating stylized documents, or opening holes in
lines for text or art.
The macro also demonstrates how to preserve typeover mode if
that mode is in effect when the macro runs. The commands
save the current typing state, switch to insert mode if
necessary, and then restore typeover mode before ending. You
might want to keep this tip in mind for other macros that
need to switch typing modes.
This WordPerfect macro, ALTI.WPM, indents text.
