I post them as you might benefit of them, and ofcourse I'm interested in getting feedback. Certainly there are more people writing WP macro's. The first one retrieves a document into the current document with less keys than doing it through WP itself //ALTG.WPM //Retrieves the file entered into the current document at cursor location DLGCREATE(Result;"Insert file") DLGCONTROL(CtrlLabel!;;"Insert file into current document (F5 filemanager") DLGCONTROL(CtrlFileName!;FileName;"~Bestand: ";StyInitial!;;;50) DLGEND IF(Result = -1) QUIT ELSE FileRetrieve(FileName) ENDIF QUIT The second one is somewhat more complicated. One of the strong points of WP6 are the quick directories. Unfortunately that is only for retrieving files. For saving files directly to the quick directories I have written this macro. It saves the file in the quick directory of your choice, the filename is the same as the quick directory name, the extension is an increasing number from 001 to 999. N.B. some routines of McComb's WP6 PowerTools book are used. // Geautomatiseerd opslaan van bestanden via directlijst, met volgnummer // januari 1996 eerste versie // januari 1996 versnelde manier van opslag door tellen bestanden // the variable Directory will have the full path for the listed directory. If // you've described the directories with their exact names, you can leave out // the TYPE(32) DISPLAY(On!) // Routines from Powertools of Gordon McComb USE("POWER") // Do nothing when the document is empty IF(?DocBlank = 1) DLGCREATE(Result;"Archief Macro";DlgNoCancel!)

Anyone willing to repost how I can get WPWIN 6.1 (Novell) to place page numbering in a format which reads 1 of "whatever" and increments by each page? My brain isn't kicking in my question very well but I want each page to reflect not only the actual page number but the total number of pages as well. So that a 5 page document would have the following: 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, 4 of 5, 5 of 5. Even 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 etc would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Take Care & God Bless!! Gary ...

It looks like a decent upgrade from the WP 5.2 for windows that I have been using for the past 2-3 years. I am running OS/2 ver 3.0 Warp with Windows 3.1 (not WIN-OS2). However, I have hit one fatal problem with it. I cannot get the Spell Checker to run. Whenever I try to run it, either by hitting the button bar in a document, or by double clicking the program object icon in the program group -- there is an error message that says something like: SHWIN20.DLL caused a General Protection Fault in WTSU60.DLL @ 0001:4332 Then after I clear that message and try to close a document, I get another error message: WPWIN61 caused a GPF in DDEML.DLL @ 0001:336B From then on, if I try to open a document, I get an error message. In order to run WP program again, I have to quit Windows and start it all over again. Can anyone help? Without a spell checker, WP6.1 is essentially useless to me for my purposes. dale@mbbs.com (1:261/1137.11) ...
