The A2Z of WordPerfect
======================
A full description of all the features of the A2Z program may be
found in the WordPerfect file MANUAL.WP
Introduction
============
Anyone who has ever used WordPerfect will be aware of the macro
facility within the package and may have recorded simple
keystrokes themselves to reach frequently used features. For
instance, many use the key combinations [ALT] + V to reach the
View Document feature in the Print Menu. Others give a macro a
descriptive name like ADDRESS, which inserts an address into a
document when executed. This manual plus the set of macros that
accompanies it, shows how powerful the macro facility is in
making WordPerfect easier to use and a more comprehensive
package.
Menus
-----
The macros created give an alternative to the function key and
mouse menu structures. They let you get to the most frequently
used features. More advanced ones like Kerning and Graphics
Lines, which are found in desktop publishing software, are
quickly accessed. The macro additions, which I hope will make
wordprocessing less of a chore, are illustrated later.
Each of the macro menus are reached by using the Alt and alphabetic
keys, with each individual menu listing those WordPerfect features
beginning with the alphabetic key pressed. For example, pressing P
while holding down the [Alt] key brings up a menu listing those
features beginning with the letter P. So if you have lost your
keyboard template or the cat has eaten your mouse, then these
macros are for you.
A new way of thinking
---------------------
If you have ever wanted to change something as simple as the style
of the page numbering you will know how hard a task it is within
WordPerfect. First, press [SHIFT] + [F8], 2 for Page, then 6 for
Page Numbering; not very easy to remember even if you are an
experienced user. The A2Z of WordPerfect uses the initial letter
of the feature you require and the [Alt] key. So, [Alt] + P then 3
for Page Number Options will take you to the menu level described
above. If you cannot remember the exact phrase for page numbering,
think of N for Number, press [Alt] + N, then 5 for Number Pages.
The same applies to other features like Word Count. This feature is
under W for Word Count and C for Count Words.
Page 1 Installation and Setup
======================
System Requirements
-------------------
The A2Z of WordPerfect only works under version 5.1 of WordPerfect.
These macros may be run from a floppy disk, although installation
onto a hard disk is recommended.
Disk Space
----------
The macros themselves occupy approximately 170K of disk space.
You can save space by deleting the documentation files if
necessary.
Memory
------
Once the A2Z keyboard is installed, an extra 5K approximately of
memory is used. The normal running of the WordPerfect program is
not affected.
Installation
------------
Copy the keyboard files and macros into the directory containing
the WordPerfect program. If your macros are kept in a separate
subdirectory, then copy the files into that directory.
e.g. If your disk is in the A: drive and your WordPerfect
directory is called C:\WP51 then type the following:-
COPY A:*.* C:\WP51.
I would recommend the creation of a separate subdirectory to
contain all the A2Z macros plus your own. If you do this, remember
to change the location of macros in the setup menu (see below).
If you are not sure of the location of your files, enter the
WordPerfect program as you would normally. Press [SHIFT] + [F1]
then 6. Locate the line marked " 2 - Keyboard/Macro Files". This
shows the location of all macro files. If there is no directory
marked at this location, then the macro files are in the default
WordPerfect directory (e.g. C:\WP51).
Once you have copied the files into the appropriate directory,
enter WordPerfect as normal. Select the A2Z keyboard by pressing
[SHIFT] + [F1]. Press 5 for Keyboard layout then select the
keyboard marked A2Z. Press [F7] to return to the document.
Colours
The colour of each heading and "Press <F1> to Cancel" message is
dependant on the setting applied to the reverse video or blocked
attribute under the Display menu. This is normally white, on a
Page 2
black background, in the document one screen, or white on red in
the document two screen.
To change the colour press [SHIFT] + [F1], 2, 1, 1. Select a
colour for the Blocked attribute.
Startup Options
---------------
The startup macro gives a front-end to the user, to make him
aware that these utilities exist. Insert the following into the
Autoexec.bat :-
SET WP=/M-START
This assumes that the WordPerfect directory is in your path.
Menu Choices
============
How to use the Menus
--------------------
Access each menu by holding down the [Alt] key and then lightly
press the initial letter of the feature you require. So, for
example, to count the number of words in your document press [Alt]
+ W. Immediately you will be presented with a menu listing all
those features beginning with the letter W. Each feature has a
number beside it. Press that number to start that particular
feature. Word Count is begun by pressing 3.
Some features may be selected by pressing the highlighted letter in
the menu corresponding to a particular feature. As an example, to
turn Italics on press [Alt] + I, I. This enables you to turn
Italics on without even looking at the menu. To turn Italics off,
simply press [Alt] + I, I again. If you look closely at the menu
when turning Italics on and off, you will see that the Italics menu
choice shows whether the Italics feature is on now. When you turn
Italics on, the menu choice asks you to press I to start. When you
next go to that menu to turn Italics off, the menu choice asks you
to press I to finish. Of course you could still turn Italics off by
stepping outside the Italics code by pressing the [] key.
The [Ctrl] key
--------------
Most of WordPerfect's features are started by using the Alt key
menus. Some other features, also listed on the Alt key menus, may
also be started by pressing the [Ctrl] key plus the appropriate
letter combination. This key combination has been added to make
those features more immediately accessible. For example, if you
were writing a piece in French, you would want to use those
characters which you need in your text as if those characters were
Page 3
assigned to a key on the keyboard, instead of them being sought
through several layers of menus. Therefore, pressing [Ctrl] + F
instead of [Alt] + F, 7, makes writing in French that much more
productive.
These shortcut or "Hot" keys are shown alongside features on the
Alt key menus.
Cancel
------
Each menu is cleared by pressing [F1] any time. Most other software
has the [F1] key assigned as a Help button. This assignment of the
[F1] key keeps to the standard WordPerfect function key format.
Help
----
Context sensitive help may be accessed by pressing the [F3] key.
This gives a short description of each feature in any particular
menu, when [F3] is pressed.

New Features
============
Abbreviations
-------------
This expands abbreviations into their proper form. The
abbreviations must have been inserted into the abbrev.wpm macro
first.
Expanding Abbreviations
-----------------------
First, type in the two or three letter abbreviation and then
press [Ctrl] + C to expand the abbreviation.
Adding Abbreviations
--------------------
To add abbreviations edit the abbrev.wpm macro. To do this, press
[Ctrl] + [F10]. Enter abbrev.wpm as the macro to edit. Press 2 to
edit the macro, then press [Home], [Home], [Up Arrow] to move to
the bottom of the macro. Press [Ctrl] + [PgUp], L and then [Enter]
to insert the {Label} code into the document. Enter a two or three
letter abbreviation, then insert a tilde (~) at the end of the
label.
After inserting the label, enter the text that forms the expanded
version of the abbreviation. Press [Ctrl] + [PgUp], R, [Down
Arrow], [Enter] to insert the {Return} code into the macro. Press
[Enter] twice. When you have finished editing the macro, press [F7]
to exit.
Address
-------
This macro lets you assign your address to the [Alt] + A menu.
Creating
--------
First, start recording the address macro by pressing [Ctrl] +
[F10]. Enter Address as the name for the macro. Press [Enter] then
start entering your address. You can press [Enter] at the end of
each line if you so wish. Indent the address to the right-hand
margin if you wish. Once you have entered your address press [Ctrl]
+ [F10] to end the recording of the address macro.
Executing
---------
To re-play the address macro press [Alt] + A, 2. Your address
should then appear in the present document. If there are any
problems with the address then repeat the steps given above when
creating the address macro.
Page 5
Arrows Menu
-----------
You may enter Arrows with the key combination [Ctrl] + A. You will
find that several characters you enter will not display on the
screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character number).
The display of characters depends on the capabilities of your
display card. If your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect can
print all characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
ASCII character set menu
------------------------
To type in a character from the ASCII character set you would
normally hold down the [Alt] key and press the appropriate number
from the numeric keypad.
Unfortunately, remembering all the key codes (there are 255) is
difficult. Here, all the ASCII characters are presented in a menu
format. Simply choose the character you want from the menu, type in
the number corresponding to that character and then press [Enter]
to insert it into your document.
To start the menu press [Alt] + A, 8.
Bullets Menu
------------
You may enter Bullets with the key combination [Ctrl] + B. You will
find that several characters you enter will not display on the
screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character number).
The display of characters depends on the capabilities of your
display card. If your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect can
print all characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
Copy n Times
------------
This macro copies a section of text n number of times. This can be
useful when creating labels or simply copying a single word or
character often. Highlight a section of text from the point at
which the cursor lies. Once you have highlighted the text you want
to copy, press the [Enter] key. Enter the number of times you want
the block of text copied.
Please make sure that there is nothing in document two, as this
macro makes use of that document.
Crossword Solver
----------------
This macro is useful for solving those missing crossword clues,
where some answers have several letters already inserted from the
solutions to other clues. This macro uses the Look Up feature from
the spell checking menu. The macro looks up words that match a
pattern or a phonetic spelling. You can use an asterisk (*) to
Page 6 represent any number of letters in succession, including zero. A
question mark (?) represents a single letter. For example, "b?d"
matches "bad", "bed", "bid and "bud". "Blo*t matches "blot",
"blowout" and "bloodiest". While blood?est matches "bloodiest" and
"bloodtest". The Speller will also supply a list of words that
sound similar to the one you enter. For example, if you enter
teese, the Speller will list several words that are phonetically
similar, among them, the word "tease."
Directory Menu
--------------
This macro makes it very easy for an individual user to switch
between various directories under which they store their documents.
Once the macro is executed and the menu appears, simply press the
number corresponding to the directory to be listed.
A good feature about this macro is that you can be at any
WordPerfect menu and still get the menu showing the list of
directories on screen.
Changes that need to be made, for an individuals own requirements,
are highlighted in boldface. Enter the macro editor by pressing
[Ctrl] + [F10]. Enter DIR as the name for the macro then press
[Enter]. Press 2 to edit the macro. Follow the listing for the
macro (see below) and change the highlighted sections to correspond
with your own directory listings.
The directory macro can also be set to run when you enter
WordPerfect. Put the following line in your Autoexec.bat :
SET WP=/M-DIR.WPM
When you enter WordPerfect the macro will run and you can then
immediately list files in the directory you require.
Disk Copy
---------
This option under the [Alt] + D menu, lets you copy files from
floppy disk to floppy disk. You can either copy from drive A to B,
A to A, B to A or B to B. Figure 3 shows the disk copy menu. Press
A or B depending on which drive you want to copy. You will then be
prompted to enter the drive you want to copy to. If the drives are
the same, the files are copied to the C drive first, in a directory
called TEMP. Once the copying has finished, you will be prompted to
insert the disk on which to copy. Insert the disk on which you want
to copy files and then press [Enter].
Changing the Path
-----------------
The macro that copies the files needs to know where the copy
batch file is. This normally resides in the directory that
contains your macros. If the macro cannot
Page 7 find the batch file then the copying procedure will not work.
To change the path, edit the macro called copy. Press [Ctrl] +
[F10], enter copy as the name of the macro, and then press [Enter].
Press 2 to edit the macro. Locate the line {ASSIGN}Path~C:\wp51\~
and insert the correct path to the location of your macros. If your
macros are in the WordPerfect directory C:\WP51, there is no need
to change the above. Press [F7] when you have finished editing the
macro.
Double Sided Printing
---------------------
The double sided printing macro enables you to print on both sides
of the paper, a great boon in these cost conscious and
environmentally aware days. To run this macro press [Alt] + D, 9.
The macro achieves double sided printing by first of all printing
the last page, then every other page up until the first. The macro
then prompts you to insert the printed sheets again so that it can
carry on printing the reverse sides. Simply remove the printed
pile, turn it over and then re-insert the paper again.
Experiment with a few sheets of paper first as each printer
stacks printed output differently in each case.
If there are an odd number of pages, the macro prompts you to
remove the first page that was printed in the original batch.
This ensures that the second pass
prints correctly.
Drop Capitals
-------------
Drop Capitals are large letters placed at the beginning of a
paragraph. To do this press [Alt] + D, C. A prompt asks you to
enter the point size for the capital in question. Remember that 72
points makes a letter which is an inch high. So, a 36 point size
gives a letter which is half an inch high.
You are then prompted to enter an uppercase letter. Type in a
letter from A to Z. The drop capital is then placed into a user
box which will only show either
when viewed or printed.
Edit a Code
-----------
Use this macro to edit most features within WordPerfect. The macro
tests the current code and places you within the edit screen of
that feature. For example, you can position the cursor on a
"footer" code and press [Ctrl] + E to edit the text within the
header immediately. This eliminates five keystrokes normally needed
to get to the same point. If you place the cursor on a margin
setting, the [Ctrl] + E macro will change that setting and delete
the old margin code to eliminate duplicate codes.
Page 8
Try this macro with any of the WordPerfect codes. It is amazing how
quickly you can edit features like graphics, footers, headers,
margins, fonts etc. Even codes that reside within headers or
footers (like fonts and graphics) can be edited quickly by using
[Ctrl] + E.
Expand Document
---------------
Expands all abbreviations found in the current document into their
proper form. A search of all two and three letter abbreviations is
made. If an abbreviation is found, it is then converted into its
proper form.
Expanding Abbreviations
-----------------------
First, type in the two or three letter abbreviations and then press
[Alt] + E, 4 to expand the document. Each abbreviation must have a
space either side of it for the expansion to work.
Adding Abbreviations
--------------------
To add abbreviations edit the abbrev.wpm macro. To do this, press
[Ctrl] + [F10]. Enter abbrev.wpm as the macro to edit. Press 2 to
edit the macro. Press [Home], [Home], [Up Arrow] to move to the
bottom of the macro. Press [Ctrl] + [PgUp], L and then [Enter] to
insert the {Label} code into the document. Enter a two or three
letter abbreviation, then insert a tilde (~) at the end of the
label.
Insert the label then enter the text that forms the expanded
version of the abbreviation. Press [Ctrl] + [PgUp], R, [Down
Arrow], [Enter] to insert the {Return} code into the macro. Press
[Enter] twice. When you have finished editing the macro, press [F7]
to exit.
Font List
---------
The font list macro produces a list of the fonts and typefaces used
in the currently selected printer. To run this macro press [Alt] +
F, 3. As the macro runs, an indication is given of which font is
being produced in the present document. This macro will only run if
the interim release date of your copy of WordPerfect is March 1990
or later (press [F3] to check on this).
Footnotes to Text
-----------------
This macro converts all of the text from the footnotes in a
document to ordinary text. This enables all of the footnotes within
a document to be edited at once and is especially useful for
editing a large amount of footnotes
Page 9
To run this macro press Alt + F, 6. The macro searches through all
footnotes and places their contents into document two. An
indication of the page number on which each footnote lies and the
footnote number are given, alongside the text of each footnote.
Each footnote may then be edited like any normal WordPerfect
document. To place the edited text back into the original footnotes
in document one, press [Alt] + T, 6.
Fractions
---------
You may enter Fractions with the key combination [Alt] + F, 8. You
will find that several of the characters you enter will not display
on the screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character
number). The display of characters depends on the capabilities of
your display card. If your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect
can print all characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
French Characters
-----------------
You may enter the French alphabetic characters with the key
combination [Ctrl] + F. You will find that several of the
characters you enter will not display on the screen (use Reveal
Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character number). The display of
characters depends on the capabilities of your display card. If
your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect can print all
characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
German Characters
-----------------
You may enter the German alphabetic characters with the key
combination [Ctrl] + G. You will find that several of the
characters you enter will not display on the screen (use Reveal
Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character number). The display of
characters depends on the capabilities of your display card. If
your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect can print all
characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
Greek Characters
----------------
You may enter the Greek alphabetic characters with the key
combination [Alt] + G, 5. You will find that several of the
characters you enter will not display on the screen (use Reveal
Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character number). The display of
characters depends on the capabilities of your display card. If
your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect can print all
characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
Iconic Symbols
--------------
You may enter Iconic symbols with the key combination [Ctrl] + I.
Page 10
You will find that several of the characters you enter will not
display on the screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the
character number). The display of characters depends on the
capabilities of your display card. If your printer can print
graphics, WordPerfect can print all characters in the WordPerfect
character sets.
Keys (Temporary)
----------------
Assigning text to a key combination
Often, when typing a document, a phrase related to what you are
writing occurs frequently. This results in much wasted effort in
re-typing the phrase, especially if you are a one fingered typist.
This macro assigns a keystroke to repeat a particular phrase,
without the need for separate macros for each phrase.
Any phrase can be assigned to a particular keystroke using the Alt
key and a numeric key (the numeric keys at the top of the keyboard
not the keys on the number pad to the right of the keyboard). To
assign a phrase to a keystroke, press [Alt] + K then press [ENTER].
Press the number corresponding to the keystroke you require, then
type the phrase you want assigned to a key. Alternatively you can
first block the text you want assigned to the keystroke, start the
macro, then press the number you want. Upto ten keys can be
assigned in this way.
To insert the phrase into the document, hold down the alt key and
press the number you chose before. If you can't remember the
keystroke you used to store the phrase, start the [Alt] + K menu
again and press [ENTER]. The phrase you stored and the keystroke
used to start the phrase are shown. In Figure 4, "The Cat Sat on
the Mat" is assigned to the keystroke [Alt] + 1. When you exit the
document the phrases are lost, as the keystrokes act as a temporary
store.
Line Count
----------
The line count macro counts the number of lines in a document by
counting the number of hard returns, soft returns, hard page breaks
and soft page breaks. Press [Alt] + L, 6, 1 to start this macro.
List Files
----------
The list files macro adds two new functions to the list files menu;
Graphics - allows you to retrieve a graphic file into a graphic
box; Macro - lets you run a macro from the list files screen.
To run this macro press Alt] + L, 8. Type in a directory location
and then press [Enter]. On the third row of the list files screen
Page 11
you will now see two new options; Graphics and Macro. Highlight a
file and then press G to retrieve the file, if it is a graphic,
into a graphics box or press A to run the highlighted file, if it
is a macro. This macro will only run if the interim release date of
your copy of WordPerfect is March 1990 or later (press [F3] to
check on this).
Mathematical Symbols
--------------------
The maths macro will I'm sure be of use to many people. To place a
mathematical symbol into your document press [Alt] + M , 4 for
Maths Characters. Common Mathematical symbols are listed as shown
in Figure 5. Simply press the number corresponding to the symbol
required and it appears in your document. If you want to enlarge
the character, choose a new font size or enlarge it by use of the
[Alt] + L macro.
Page x of y
-----------
The page x of y macro places a footer onto each page of a document
indicating the current page number and the total number of pages in
a document. To run this macro press [Alt] + P, 4. If you add or
delete pages, you must run this macro again to take account of the
changes made.
Polish Characters
-----------------
You may enter Polish Characters with the key combination [Alt] + P,
8. You will find that several of the characters you enter will not
display on the screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the
character number). The display of characters depends on the
capabilities of your display card. If your printer can print
graphics, WordPerfect can print all characters in the WordPerfect
character sets.
Remove Bold, Italics, Underline Codes
-------------------------------------
This macro lets you quickly remove the given codes without first
having to Reveal Codes and then search for the given code. Position
the cursor on the text that has either underline, italics or bold
codes affecting its appearance. Press [Alt] + R, 2. Choose an
option from the next menu to remove the code.
Reverse Printing
----------------
This macro prints a document out in reverse order. This can be
useful in cases where a printer stacks printed pages in reverse
order and is useful in cases where documents have to be sorted
manually after printing.
Page 12
To run this macro press [Alt] + R, 8. Wait a few seconds while the
macro searches for the last page. As WordPerfect starts printing,
an indication of which page is being printed is shown at the bottom
of the screen. Printing starts at the last page and ends at the
first page.
Scandinavian Characters
-----------------------
You may enter Scandinavian Characters with the key combination
[Ctrl] + S. You will find that several of the characters you enter
will not display on the screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to
see the character number). The display of characters depends on the
capabilities of your display card. If your printer can print
graphics, WordPerfect can print all characters in the WordPerfect
character sets.
Spanish Characters
------------------
You may enter the Spanish alphabetic characters with the key
combination [Ctrl] + [Tab]. You may find that several of the
characters you enter will not display on the screen (use Reveal
Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the character number). The display of
characters depends on the capabilities of your display card. If
your printer can print graphics, WordPerfect can print all
characters in the WordPerfect character sets.
The Spanish characters supported are:
á é í ñ Ñ ó ú ¿
Typographic Symbols
-------------------
You may enter Typographical symbols with the key combination [Ctrl]
+ T. You will find that several of the characters you enter will
not display on the screen (use Reveal Codes [Alt] + [F3] to see the
character number). The display of characters depends on the
capabilities of your display card. If your printer can print
graphics, WordPerfect can print all characters in the WordPerfect
character sets.
Macros (Users Own)
=================
This suite of macros in no way affects the running of ones own
personally created macros. You can either run the macros by
pressing [Alt] + [F10], then giving the name of the macro or you
can use the A2Z menu. Press [Alt] + M, 1, then enter the name of
the macro. Press [Enter] to run the macro.
Normal Alt key macros may be run from the A2Z macro menu. This menu
Page 13
is run by pressing [Ctrl] + Z. Press the appropriate letter from
the A to Z to run the procedure normally associated with the usual
Alt key macro if the A2Z keyboard layout is not selected.
Below is a listing of the A2Z macro menu. This macro may be edited
to include a description of each Alt key macro. The A2Z menu allows
you to catalogue upto 26 macros assigned to the Alt and letter
keys.
The lines marked {ASSIGN}Desc?~Macro ?~, where ? represents a
letter fro A to Z, can be edited to give an appropriate description
to the macro assigned to that letter. The actual description should
be inserted between the two tilde marks (~).
To edit this macro, press [Ctrl] + [F10]. Type MACROMENU, as the
macro to edit, then press 2 to edit the macro. Locate the
appropriate {ASSIGN} statements and edit them in the normal way.
Remember that each description must be enclosed within two tilde
marks.
The Booklet Macros
==================
The booklet macros convert an A4 document into an A5 booklet. All
of the correct page numbers are inserted, so that they continue one
after the other, when the booklet is folded and stapled.
Compiling an A4 booklet
-----------------------
The compilation of a booklet, with the A2Z booklet macros,
comprises three distinct stages.
1. Define the booklet paper size
The booklet paper size is defined as an A4 page with two labels.
This gives the illusion of two separate pages which, when folded,
form an A5 booklet.
To define the booklet paper size, press [Alt] + [B], 6, 2. If the
paper size has already been defined, an error message is
displayed informing you so.
2. Re-format original document.
Before you compile a booklet, you will need to reformat the
original document with the booklet paper size and type. You will
also have to select the page number position for each page of the
booklet in the original document, so that the booklet compiles
correctly.
Page 14
* Select the "Booklet - Wide" paper size at the top of the
document. If the "Booklet - Wide" paper size does not exist, run
the booklet macro to define the booklet paper size. You can do
this by pressing [Alt] + [B], 6, 2. Move to the top of the document
to be compiled by pressing [Home], [Home], [Up Arrow]. Press
[Shift] + [F8], 2, 7. Highlight the "Booklet - Wide" paper size,
and press 1 to select it.
* Select a page numbering option at the top of the document. Press
[Shift] + [F8], 2, 6, and choose an appropriate page number
position. The choice of page number position is not too important
at this stage, as you will be given the option of choosing the
correct position when you come to compile the booklet.
■ Reformat the document, then re-generate the table of contents
and index if necessary. You are then ready to compile the
booklet.
3. Compiling the booklet
To compile an A4 document into an A5 booklet, press [Alt] + B, 6,
1. You are then prompted to enter a number corresponding to the
page number position you require. A "* Compiling Booklet *" prompt
informs you that the booklet is being compiled.
After you type in the page number position, you are asked if you
want a cover page. Type in Y or N for yes or no respectively.
The compiled booklet is left in document two, while the original
document is left untouched in document one. The booklet document
will have the correct page numbering for when it is folded and
stapled.
The first two pages of the booklet are left blank if you answered
yes to the cover page prompt, so that a cover page may be added. A
comment appears on the second page informing you that this page
acts as the cover page.

Tables
======
The A2Z of WordPerfect Table menus are one of the best features of
the A2Z program. They provide an easy way to create and edit
organised rows and columns of tabular data, without the added
hassle of entering tabs or tab settings. The A2Z of WordPerfect
makes the creation and editing of a table that much simpler. Simply
think of the mnemonic for the feature you require and press the
appropriate [Alt] and letter key combination while in the Table
Edit menu.
To start the table editing menus from the A2Z program, you must
first create or edit a table. To create a table press [Alt] + T, 3,
1. Then enter a number for the rows and columns. This places you in
table editing mode. From this edit mode, to start an A2Z menu press
[Alt] and then a letter. For example, to place shading into a cell
press [Alt] + S, 1. Press [F7] to exit to normal editing mode.
You can also use the block feature with these table editing menus.
Go into table editing mode. Block a range of cells (press [F12] or
[Alt] + [F4], then highlight a range of cells). Start the relevant
feature by pressing the appropriate [Alt] key combination.
The A2Z table editing feature makes ease of creating tables.
