Problem

Solutions: Inch measurements entered in a macro did not perform/enter correctly if the user changed to 4.2 Units of Measure before invoking the macro. The macro performed as if the program was still in inches. The user corrected the problem by adding a quote mark after each of the measurements. This forced the number to appear in inches, regardless of the current setting.*

Another alternative to this problem would be to add a line that changed the Units of Measure to inches at the beginning of the macro, and another line that changed back to 4.2 Units at the end of the macro.

*Any one of the following characters can be entered with a measurement to ensure the desired unit is used:

" or i = inches
c = centimeters
p = points
w = 1200ths of an inch
u = WordPerfect 4.2 Units (Lines/Columns)
