Using Variables To Copy A Block Of Text |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer would like an easy way to block a section of text and copy it into a document several times in different places. Solutions: There are several ways to accomplish this task. One method that can be used in 5.0 or 5.1 is to assign the text to a variable. Use the following steps: 1. Block the text to be duplicated up to 128 characters. 2. Press Ctrl-PgUp for Macro Commands. NOTE: This keystroke can be used to create a variable, even if you are not creating or running a macro. 3. Select a single digit number when prompted for a variable (e.g., 0) and hit ENTER. 4. Position the cursor at the desired location for retrieving the text and press Alt-Number to retrieve the variable (e.g., for Variable 0, press Alt-0). The text will be inserted at the cursor position, and can be retrieved at almost any place in WordPerfect, including the Macro Editor, the Header editing screen, graphics boxes, menu prompts, and other substructures. Up to 10 variables (0-9) can be assigned using the Ctrl PgUp keys. These variables will be cleared when the user exits WP or uses Ctrl+PgUp to overwrite them with another value. |
