THE PERFECTO MACRO VERSION 1.2
PERFECTO (PERFECTO.WPM) is a spacing/punctuation correction macro for use
with current DOS versions of the WordPerfect word processor. PERFECTO
automatically eliminates most incorrect character spacing and multiple
punctuation within WordPerfect text.
Perfecto utilizes WordPerfect's search-and-replace function to accomplish
its tasks. The result is replacement of multiple spaces between words
with single spaces and replacement of most multiple punctuation (e.g.,
&&) with single characters. The macro corrects spacing surrounding
standard punctuation marks (e.g., single spaces after semicolons and
double spaces after colons and terminal punctuation). PERFECTO also
eliminates spaces preceding or following hard returns.
PERFECTO pays particular attention to spacing following the period
character. Consequently, as terminal punctuation, a period placed at the
end of a sentence will be followed by two spaces; whereas, a period
following a digit, an upper-case letter (e.g., initials), or a common
abbreviation (e.g., Mr., or Ms.) will be followed by only a single space.
However, PERFECTO cannot distinguish the period character following
digits, upper-case letters, or abbreviations that fall at the end of
sentences from terminal punctuation. in these infrequent instances,
after using PERFECTO, only a single space will be left following the
period character.
PERFECTO is not recommended for use with highly formatted text, such as
tables or outlines. Moreover, be on the lookout--PERFECTO does not
replace spell checking, grammar checking, or careful proofreading.
After copying PERFECTO.WPM to your WORDPERFECT macro subdirectory, use
PERFECTO by calling the macro (i.e., ALT-F10, PERFECTO). The macro will
then scan and correct the text from beginning to end, beeping while it
works and, when finished, placing the cursor at the end of the document.
