- WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
-
- Shareware is one of the best features of the personal computer
- revolution. It is distributed freely over electronic bulletin
- boards, or sold through shareware catalogs for the cost of
- duplicating the disks.
-
- Shareware is not free. Purchasing the disk is not the same as
- purchasing the shareware material. If you use shareware, you are
- expected to send the author the requested fee. Shareware offers
- you the opportunity to "try before you buy".
-
- Some shareware is written by authors who make their entire living
- creating shareware, and can cost a good deal of money when you
- register. Other shareware, like the material on this disk, is
- created by users of a particular program to enhance or bring out
- all of the features of that program, and is made available at
- nominal cost to other users.
-
- The material on this disk is copyrighted, and may not be copied
- or sold for profit, except to be passed on to other users as
- shareware. It may be copied and distributed by shareware
- distributors, but no fee other than the standard shareware fee
- for other disks sold by that company may be charged.
-
- If you find that you like the material on this disk and use it
- regularly, I suggest that you make a contribution of $10 to the
- charity of your choice. My personal favorite is Friends United
- Meeting, a Quaker organization which for educational, peace
- and missionary efforts. Contributions to FUM are tax-exempt.
- Please mark your check as a donation for using this shareware
- disk. Their address is:
-
- Friends United Meeting
- 101 Quaker Hill Drive
- Richmond, IN 47374
-
- I have done my very best to de-bug all of the macros and other
- material on this disk. I'm not offering any other documentation
- or automatic upgrades, since I'm not a full-time shareware author
- but mainly a computer user like yourself.
-
- I highly recommend that you read all of the documentation (.DOC
- files) on this disk before using the macro and keyboard files. It
- would be a good idea to make a backup copy of this disk, and
- especially if you do any tinkering on the macros and keyboard
- definitions.
-
- You can tinker and adapt the material on this disk to suit your
- needs, but please do not distribute your altered versions without
- proper notification, or my documentation may not match the
- changes you've made!
-
- All of the information on this disk is accurate as I have been
- able to make it as of July 1990. Used properly (or even
- improperly), there shouldn't be any chance for you to injure your
- system, or even to lose too much data. However, no liability is
- assumed by the author for anything you do to louse things up on
- your own, nor is any liability assumed by the WordPerfect
- Corporation for anything not recommended in their manual.
-
- If you have any problems after reading all of the documentation,
- you can write to me, enclosing a self-addressed, stamped
- envelope, and I'll do what I can to get you squared away.
-
- Have fun!

- INTRODUCTION TO THIS COLLECTION
-
- Most people who use WordPerfect products are aware that they are
- well-designed, powerful tools for computer users. If you spend
- some time with the documentation, you'll find all kinds of
- features which can make your work easier or better.
-
- Not everyone has the time or the perseverance to discover all of
- the features of WordPerfect's programs. This disk will give you a
- fast start towards becoming a "power user"!
-
- This disk is intended to be used with the new WordPerfect 5.1
- word processing program. Using the material on this disk, you
- will be able to do all kinds of things, including:
-
- - starting a letter, including letterhead, date, and
- address with only 7 keystrokes
-
- - control most formatting features with only two
- keystrokes
-
- - call up a time check in the middle of your document
-
- - check frequently-used phone numbers
-
- - call up reminders of frequently-used macros
-
- - pop up calendars for 1990-1995
-
- - control font attributes with only two keystrokes
-
- - access hundreds of characters in the WordPerfect
- Extended Character Set easily (with WordPerfect 5.1,
- these can all be printed on any dot-matrix or laser
- printer!)
-
- - manipulate text in new ways you've never thought of
- Documentation for the macro files is located in a file named
- MACRO.DOC.
-
- WordPerfect also allows the use of "alternate keyboards", in
- which you map functions, character keys or entire macros to
- different keys on your keyboard. Seven brand-new keyboards are
- included on this disk.
-
- The keyboard files have a .WPK extension; the documentation file
- for them is WPK.DOC.
-
- Special thanks are due to the staff of the WordPerfect
- Corporation, who have coached me by phone through many errors as
- I've learned along the way. They have been invariably helpful,
- patient and courteous. The toll-free telephone support provided
- by WordPerfect is one of the best reasons for purchasing their
- programs, and puts them many lengths ahead of their competition.
