DocumentID: 10098

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

You can now set up personal and shared directories for your macros.
The Location of Files feature in WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS will allow you to set up personal and shared directories for macro files. Each user on a network can now access their personal macros as well as macros stored in a shared directory on the network.

Having the ability to specify a separate network directory for macros will also allow you to store the Keyboard Layout files in the network path, while still allowing users to create their own macros.

When you invoke a macro command, WordPerfect looks for the macro in these four places in this order:

      1      The default directory
      2      The personal macro directory (as set up under Location of Files)
      3      The shared macro directory (as set up under Location of Files)
      4      The directory where the WP.EXE file is located


How Do I Use It?
To specify macro directories in Location of Files,

1      Press Setup (Shift+F1), then choose Location of Files (5).

2      Choose Macros/Keyboards/ButtonBar (2).

3      Designate a specific Personal Path (1), Shared Path (2), or both. Press Enter after you type each path.

When you have finished designating paths,

4      Choose OK twice to return to the Setup menu.

5      Choose Close to return to the document editing screen.
