Temporary Macro - Can Also Be Created With F7 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A temporary macro can be created with not only Enter, but with F7. To duplicate, press Ctrl-F10 and press F7 for the macro name (can also use Enter). The screen will skip the Description and will blink Macro Def. At this point, type THIS IS A TEST and turn the macro off with Ctrl-F10. Execute the macro with Alt-F10, press F7, and THIS IS A TEST will display. You can exit the program and reenter and the macro will still work. If you go into Macro Edit, only {DISPLAY OFF} displays. Is this working as designed? Solutions: You can create a temporary macro with either the Enter or F7 key. Development indicated that pressing the Exit key has always implied a return. There are several places in the program that demonstrate this. On Retrieve, for example, you can press Exit instead of Enter at the end of the filename. Or to invoke a keyboard merge, you can press Exit at the prompt for secondary file. There are numerous others. |
