- RightFAX WordPerfect 5.1 Macro Documentation
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- 08/17/94 NOTE: Several changes have been made to this macro at the request
- of our users. The macro itself is documented rather
- thoroughly. We recommend that you look through the macro
- by loading it into WordPerfect (use CTRL-F10, then hit ALT-F
- and choose to EDIT the macro - be careful not to save any
- unintentional changes).
-
- This document provides a general description of the RightFAX
- WordPerfect macro. It is not intended to teach macro creation
- under WordPerfect in any way. If you plan to make changes to
- this macro, please refer to the appropriate section in your
- WordPerfect manual for details.
-
- This macro was written using WordPerfect 5.1. Newer versions of
- WordPerfect may not run the macro correctly. The macro file named
- ALTF.W50 will work for WordPerfect version 5.0. If you have this
- version, rename the ALTF.W50 file to ALTF.WPM. The macro has the same
- basic functionality as the WP 5.1 version, but is constructed somewhat
- differently.
-
- The RightFAX WordPerfect macro is available in the RightFAX
- CLIENT directory as ALTF.WPM. Assuming you don't already have an
- ALTF.WPM macro, copy thisfile into the directory where your
- WordPerfect macros are normally kept (usually \WP51 or
- \WP51\MACROS). From this point on, you may run the RightFAX
- macro by hitting ALT-F while in WordPerfect. If you already have
- an ALTF.WPM macro or would simply like to use another key for the
- RightFAX macro, change the macro's file name to specify a
- different letter. For example, changing the name to ALTE.WPM
- would allow you to access the RightFAX macro by hitting ALT-E
- instead of ALT-F. You may also change the macro name to
- something other than an ALT-KEY combination. For example, if you
- change the macro's file name to FAX.WPM, then the macro can be
- executed by hitting ALT-F10 followed by "FAX". In all cases,
- remember to keep the ".WPM" extention in the file name.
-
- The RightFAX WordPerfect macro gives you a simple way of entering
- the embedded codes necessary to send a document as a fax. You
- should create or load your document first. Once it is ready to
- be faxed, execute the macro. Using the information you provide,
- the macro will insert the proper RightFAX codes at the top of
- your document, print the document TO THE CURRENTLY SELECTED
- PRINTER and then delete the RightFAX codes. It is important that
- you select the proper RightFAX printer before using the macro,
- since it makes no attempt to see if you're printing to the right
- device.
-
- ** Please save your document before using the macro! This is
- only safety precaution in the unlikely event that the document is
- changed during macro execution.
-
- While in WordPerfect, hit ALT-F (or whatever key combination or
- macro name you used for the RightFAX macro). A 'dialog box' will
- appear on the screen which allows you to enter the name, phone
- number, company and other fax-related information. Enter the
- proper information. Use either an 'N' or a 'Y' in the
- Attachments, Preview and Fine Mode fields at the bottom of the
- screen. You cannot switch between fields to edit mistakes, but
- you will be asked to confirm your entries before the document is
- actually faxed. You may enter an asterisk ('*') in any field
- (except "Yes/No" fields) to have the macro end before filling out
- all of the information. For example, if you only want to enter
- the NAME, then you may enter an asterisk in the NUMBER field and
- the macro will not force you to enter information for the
- remaining fields. You will be asked if the information you
- entered is correct at the bottom of the screen. Entering 'Y'
- will cause the macro to fax the document, and entering 'N' will
- ERASE ALL YOUR ENTRIES and allow you to start over. If you want
- to cancel the macro, simply press F1.
