1PG54 ╔════════════════════════╗ ║ MACROS FOR WORDPERFECT ║ ╚════════════════════════╝ WHAT IS A MACRO? Macros are Speed Keys designed to save keystrokes. You can put one or a group of commands together and assign them to one of the keys. When that key is struck it will carry out (execute) all the commands you assigned to that key. √√√ THE F FUNCTION KEYS The F Function keys are the 12 large keys at the top of the keyboard.They are numbered F1,F2, F3 to F12. These 12 F keys are the ones most used for storing the Macros (Commands). The 12 F-Function keys are also used in combination with the Shift key, Alt key, and Ctrl key. The 12 F-Functions key when used alone, and when combined with the <Shift>, <Alt>, and <Ctrl> keys make a total of 48 Macro keys. The F1 to F12 Function keys when used alone make a single keystroke Macro. When the F Function keys are used in combination with the <Shift>, <Alt>, and <Ctrl> keys, they make a two-keystroke Macro. The <Ctrl+F10> Macro command is a two-keystroke Macro. WordPerfect uses all of these 48 Macros for special functions. The Macros that we'll create all use the <Alt> key plus a letter of the alphabet. There are many Macros that can be made that do not use the <F> keys. For example, <Ctrl+V>, the Compose key, and <Ctrl+Backspace> for deleting a word. √√√ A MACRO NAMED DAVID We are now going to create a Macro using the <Alt+D> keys. This <Alt+D> Macro will be assigned the name David. David is a file that is on your disk. ▀ Each time you use the <Alt+D> Macro, it will retrieve the David file from the directory of Your disk and display it on the screen. You now can work with this file and make any changes, then save it for future use. √√√ THE MACRO <Alt+D> IS SIMPLE TO CREATE These are the steps: ▀ Press the <Ctrl+F10> key that makes the Macro. ▀ The Define Macro: appears in lower left corner of screen. ▀ Press and hold down the <Alt> key, then press the D key. (If D does not work try another key, like A or S). ▀ Release both keys. ▀ No need to press <Enter> key. ▀ The word "Description" appears, you type "David's Macro". and press the <Enter> key. This is to help identify your Macros at a later date. - 30 - ▀ The flashing cursor shows "Macro Define". Here you enter the commands that will retrieve the David file. The retrieve command is <Shift+F10>. Now follow this procedure: ▀ Press and hold down the <Shift> key. ▀ Now press the <F10> key . The screen asks for the "Document to be retrieved. ▀ You type in David and press the <Enter> key. ▀ David's file appears on the screen. ▀ Now to end the Macro. ▀ Press the <Ctrl+F10> key...and the Macro is complete. √√√ TO TEST THE MACRO ▀ Clear the screen by pressing <F7>, then N N. ▀ Press the David Macro key <Alt+D>. The David file is retrieved from the directory and appears on the screen. This completes " A MACRO NAMED DAVID". √√√ A MACRO FOR YOUR ADDRESS ▀ You'll now make a Macro for your name and address that uses only two keystrokes, in place of the usual 40 or 50 keystrokes. √√√ HOW TO CREATE A MACRO FOR YOUR ADDRESS ▀ First press down, and hold the <Ctrl> key, then press <F10> key. ▀ When you see the words "Macro Define" on screen ▀ You type Name of Macro as <Alt+L>, press <Enter> key. ▀ For description of Macro, type " For Letters" press <Enter>. ▀ The screen now shows the words "Define Macro" This means what do you want the Macro to do. You want it to store your name and address on a key, so that you can retrieve this information by pressing that key. To do this type your address, like this: Henry G. Norton 345 Cherry Street Plant City, FL 32210 ▀ Then end Macro by again pressing <Ctrl+F10>. You have now made your second Macro ▀ Now clear the screen by pressing <F7>, then press N N. ▀ Test Macro by Pressing the <Alt+L> key. ▀ Your name and address should jump onto the screen each time you press <Alt+L> Macro key. √√√ MACRO TO EXIT WORDPERFECT This Macro will give you a speedy exit from WordPerfect. It is short and requires only the <F7>, N Y command. Here's how to create this Macro which we'll name <Alt+X>. - 31 - ▀ Clear screen with the <F7> N N command. ▀ Press <Ctrl+F10> the "Create a Macro" command. ▀ When "Define Macro" appears Press the name <Alt+X>. ▀ Next to Description, Type "Exit WP" , press <Enter>. ▀ When the "Macro Define" appears, do the following: Press <F7>, then press N and Y. You'll Exit from WordPerfect. ▀ You'll now be back to the DOS prompt. If you want to return to WordPerfect: ▀ Type the following next to the C:\> Prompt, like this: C:\> CD\WP50 Press the <Enter> key. Then type WP and press <Enter> key. The WordPerfect Program will be loaded into the computer's memory and the Program is ready to use. - 32 - APPENDIX A ASCII CHARACTERS SET AND EXPANDED CHARACTER SET ASCII DECIMAL CODES FOR SWAPPING OR DUPLICATING KEYS 32 48 0 64 @ 80 P 96 ` 112 p 33 ! 49 1 65 A 81 Q 97 a 113 q 34 " 50 2 65 B 82 R 98 b 114 r 35 # 51 3 67 C 83 S 99 c 115 s 36 $ 52 4 68 D 84 T 100 d 116 t 37 % 53 5 69 E 85 U 101 e 117 u 38 & 54 6 70 F 86 V 102 f 118 v 39 ' 55 7 71 G 87 W 103 g 119 w 40 ( 56 8 72 H 88 X 104 h 120 x 41 ) 57 9 73 I 89 Y 105 i 121 y 42 * 58 : 74 J 90 Z 106 j 122 z 43 + 59 ; 75 K 91 [ 107 k 123 { 44 , 60 < 76 L 92 \ 108 l 124 | 45 - 61 = 77 M 93 ] 109 m 125 } 46 . 62 > 78 N 94 ^ 110 n 126 ~ 47 / 63 ? 79 O 95 _ 111 o 127 Del THE ASCII CHARACTER SET COVERS THE ALPHABET Both upper and lower case letters. It also includes the punctuation characters like quotation and exclamation marks. The number 32 represents a space. To make one of these characters from the keyboard you must hold down the <ALT> key, then enter the code number on the KEYPAD, and then release the <ALT> key. The Character will appear on the screen. For example, to make a dollar sign ($) using the ASCII code, hold down the <ALT> key and enter 36 on the KEYPAD. To make a check √ mark... Press <Alt> key then 251. To make a ¼ or ½ character...Press <Alt> key, then 172 and 171. ¼½.

This will assign the F1 key (0;59) with the Lower left corner Character (╚) for making a box. To type the word Résumé, use code 130. Press and hold down the Alt key, then on the keypad press 130. Release both keys. - 34 - √√√ USE KEYPAD FOR FOREIGN WORDS Many languages use some kind of accent markings on letters of a word. These markings called diacriticals (di-a-krit'ic-als) change the way a word is pronounced. For example, when you add the accent marks to the word resume (to begin again) both its meaning and pronunciation are changed. The word changes to Résumé (rez'u may..French).. meaning a summary of your experience. Many of these foreign diacriticals can be found on the little Keypad located on the right side of your keyboard. The markings are formed by pressing and holding down the Alt key, and typing the proper code number.. when you release the Alt key ..the character appears on the screen. √√√ HOW IT IS DONE Example: The Señora and her daughter Niña like Häagen Dazs ice cream. The Se <Alt+164> ora and her daughter Niña like H <Alt+132 agen Dazs ice cream. √√√ SOME KEYPAD CODES FOR AMERICAN USED "FOREIGN WORDS" ▀ Rosé wine <Alt-130> é ▀ Crêpes suzettes <Alt-136> ê ▀ Hübert <Alt-129> ü ▀ Garçon..waiter <Alt-135> ç ▀ Déjà (da zhah) <Alt-130 = é> <Alt-133 = à> ▀ Häagen Dazs ice cream <Alt-132 =ä> =================== √√√ DRAWING DOUBLE LINES ╔══════════════════════════════╗ ║ HOW TO DRAW DOUBLE LINES ║ ╔═╩══════════════════════════════╩═╗ ║ ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ √√√ Use <Ctrl+F3>, 2 2.
