- MACRS51.ZIP - This compressed file contains the same text- editing macros as
- MACRS50.ZIP, only these will be used in WordPerfect 5.1. If you're
- already using alphabetic logic to prompt your recollection of your macro
- names, you'll appreciate this method of naming macros for common text
- editing functions. This logic is called "mnemonics." Perhaps you've
- noticed that WordPerfect 5.0 or 5.1 menu choices can be selected with
- either mnemonics or the WP 4.2 numeric choice.
-
- The basic premise: All macros effecting words begin with "w". Those for
- sentences begin with "s" and for paragraphs with "p." The macros can be
- categorized according to function: Text Appearance - Bold, Italics,
- Redline, Strikeout, Underline, Double Underline, Lower Case, and Upper
- Case; Text Size - Fine, Small, Large, Very Large and Extra Large; Text
- Location - Copy, Erase, Move, and Transpose; and Sundry - Spell Check and
