The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer ran a macro, then made some changes by editing the macro in the Macro Editor. When the macro was run a second time, the original macro without the changes was played.

Another customer had an old macro (ALTX.WPM) that they wanted to replace with the same name through List Files. The new ALTX.WPM macro was copied from a floppy disk to replace the existing macro. After replacing it, the user tried to execute the new macro; the old one executed instead. The user found that by exiting WordPerfect completely and re-entering, the new macro would execute. Solutions: The program is working as designed. The macro is held in a buffer when it is run and stays there until something else clears it out. Testers found that if the macro is edited, the user can specify the path to the macro when running it in order to guarantee that the macro will be taken from disk and not from the memory buffer. Exiting WP and re-entering before running the macro will also guarantee that the right macro will run.

Status:      Working as Designed
