INSTRUCTIONS FOR OCTOBER 1990 DISK OF THE MONTH


NOTE: The following macros (files with the extension .WPM) must be copied
into the directory where your other macro files are kept. WARNING! If you
already have macros with the same name, you must rename the macros found on
this disk before they are copied onto your hard drive or your original macros
will be overwritten. Some of these files are styles (files with the extension
.STY). For 5.1, copy the style files into the directory specified in Setup
(Shift-F1), (6) Location of Files, (5) Style Files. For 5.0, copy the styles
files into your default directory. All other document files should be copied
to your default directory.

Included on this disk are the following files that work for 5.0 and 5.1 where

EDIT.STY (5.0/5.1 style library) - This style library contains four styles,
BASIC.STY, DOUBLE.STY, HANGING.STY and TITLE.STY. They are saved under

with a double indent and a 10-point font. The Hanging style formats text
in a double spaced hanging indent. The Title style inserts an 18-point
font and centers the text. Pressing (Enter) will turn the title style
off. To retrieve these styles, either press (Alt-S) (see above), or
press Style (Alt-F8), (7) Retrieve, type edit.sty and press (Enter). To
select, highlight the desired style and press (Enter). To edit the
styles, retrieve EDIT.STY, highlight the appropriate style, press (4)

p63.)

file contains the necessary merge codes to create a roll or roster when
merged with a secondary file. To merge, press Merge/Sort (Ctrl-F9), (1)

MONITOR.WPM (5.1 format) - This macro monitors everything you type, keeping
track of your two most recent keystrokes at all times. If you press two
hyphens(--) it deletes them and inserts an em-dash (), which is more
typographically correct. The macro will also replace two spaces with a
single space, to correct the common problem of pressing (Space Bar) twice
after the end of sentences. Finally, if you press your period key twice,
the macro will insert ellipses points with hard spaces between them, so
that the ellipses points cannot be broken up at a line break. To invoke
this macro, press Macro (Alt-F10), type monitor and press (Enter). To
turn the macro off, press (Ctrl-Break). (See "Macro-Making Macros,"
October '90 p15.)
