Problem

This document explains how to bring existing text from a document screen into the Macro Editor. For information on how to assign on-screen text to a macro variable, see document 654683.

Text can be brought into the Macro Editor through Ctrl+PgUp or the Shell clipboard:

BRINGING DOCUMENT TEXT IN THROUGH CTRL+PAGEUP

This can be done by blocking the text and assigning it to a variable using Ctrl+PgUp (See document 634328 for more information.) Once the text is assigned to a variable, go into the Macro Editor and press Alt+ to bring it in.

BRINGING DOCUMENT TEXT IN THROUGH THE SHELL CLIPBOARD

NOTE: For this to work, you must be running WordPerfect under Shell 3.0 for DOS from WordPerfect Corporation.

Block the text and press (Ctrl+F1, 2) to assign it to the shell clipboard. Then enter the Macro Editor and hit Alt-Shift-+ (Alt-Shift-Plus)
at the desired spot to bring it in.
