WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a user tries to use spaces in a macro to make it more readable, the macro does not work. The customer would like a white space character for readability purposes in the macro/merge programming language. Solutions: Any spaces used in the macro editor will be processed. The 10/91 WP manual p. 376 (Macros, Macro Editor-subsection on Inserting Text), says that the Tab and Enter keys can be used to make a macro more readable. However, it doesn't mention spaces. Tabs and hard returns do not affect the execution of the macro. After looking through the manual, there are no examples that give the impression that a space can be used. WP puts a dot on the screen in the macro editor so you can tell the difference between a character that won't effect the macro and a space.
