Nested Macro Not Calculating Table Formula Co |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is merging text into a table and using a nested macro to do math calculation. In the bottom left-hand cell there is a formula and a {NEST} macro command. The macro should only go into the Table Edit screen then select 5 for Math and 1 for Calculate and then exit back out. When the macro runs, the calculated total appears outside of the table below the Table Off code. When done manually it works fine. If the macro inserts the formula and then calculates, it works fine. Solutions: According to Development, the table is not fully built when the macro performs the calculation. You should use the {CHAIN} command instead. This will cause the macro to calculate after the table is fully built. |
