Problem

Solutions: Problem:
Some macros in the February 1993 issue of WordPerfect, The Magazine have errors.

Page 20 - VIEWER.WPM works in most releases.
      11/06/89      Error: 10528 (Cannot use {SYSTEM}entry~)
      01/19/90      Error: 10528 (Cannot use {SYSTEM}entry~)
      03/30/90      Selecting Next does not display the next graphic in the directory. The file is highlighted, but the user must press Enter to view the graphic. (Selecting Previous displays the graphic as desired.)

                  The filename is not displayed at the bottom right of the screen while viewing the graphic.

Page 28 -      ALTM.WPM and ALTN.WPM are on the disk of the month and they work properly. Another macro, called ALTM.WPM in the article on page 50, is named MARGIN.WPM on the disk of the month. This may confuse some customers.

Page 50 -      ENV.WPM (named ENVELOP.WPM on disk of the month) works fine. The "0" in the middle of line 6 in the magazine is omitted in the macro on disk. This does not affect how the macro runs, however.


Page 64 - MAKLABEL.WPM works in most releases.
11/06/89      The "1" in line 7 needs to be changed to an "x". (For some reason, you can't say {FOR}1~1~10~1~...{END FOR} in a merge in WP dated 11/06/89. The macro counts to 234 if you use a "1" instead of an "x" for the variable name.)
03/30/90      The {Prompt}...~ in line 3 should be an {Input} and the {Pause} in line 4 should be deleted.

Page 64 -      MAKLABEL.WPM only works when using short document names. To make the macro work with either short or long document names, make the following changes to line 14:

            {Exit}y{IF}{SYSTEM}menu~=65027~{Enter}{Enter}label.tmp{Enter}n
            {ELSE}label.tmp{Enter}n{END IF}

            And the following changes to line 17:

            {List}label.tmp{Enter}nlabel.tmp{Enter}{Del}y{Exit}{QUIT}

Note that the article for this macro is found 4 pages later in a green box at the bottom right of the page. If the user does not follow the instruction listed there, the user will get x number of blank labels in the macro.

Page 120 -      The JUMP.WPM works fine, unless the user tries to Raise the first line of a page. The macro tries to raise the text, but since it can't go above the top margin, it is not able to raise the text. Since the text was not raised, when the macro gives the command to lower the text back down, the remainder of the text in the document is shifted down.

                  The zeros before decimals are omitted on the macro on disk. This does not affect macro operation.

The TICTTOE.WPM (bonus macro on the disk of the month) works in all releases of WP. However, when the game ends in the 11/06/89 and 01/19/90 releases, the status line is gone. If the user presses the Up Arrow key, the status line is restored. The user could add a {Display Off}{Display On} code at the end of the macro before the {Quit} to fix this.

PRINT.WPK is also included on the disk of the month. It was featured in the January 1993 issue of WordPerfect, The Magazine.
