               INSTRUCTIONS FOR JANUARY 1991 DISK OF THE MONTH

NOTE:  The following macros (files with the extension .WPM) must be copied
into the directory where your other macro files are kept.  WARNING!  If you
already have macros with the same name, you must rename the macros found on
this disk before they are copied onto your hard drive or your original macros
will be overwritten.  Some of these files are styles (files with the extension
.STY).  For 5.1, copy the style files into the directory specified in Setup
(Shift-F1), (6) Location of Files, (5) Style Files.  For 5.0, copy the styles
files into your List Files (F5) directory.  All other document files should be
copied to your List Files (F5) directory.

Included on this disk are the following files that work for 5.0 and  5.1 where
specified:

PLANNER.WP (5.1 table) - This table is a daily planner to be used with
     ACTION.WP, explained below.  Use the daily planner for recording daily
     appointments and commitments.  The action planner is for keeping track of
     assignments.  To use this planner, press Retrieve (Shift-F10) and enter
     planner.wp.  Make any desired changes, then press Print (Shift-F7), (1)
     Full Document or (2) Page.  When photo copies are made, you may wish to
     shrink the page to fit your binder.  (See "Arrive on Time," January '91
     p34.)

ACTION.WP (5.1 table) - This table is an action planner to be used with
     PLANNER.WP explained above.  The action planner is for keeping track of
     assignments.  This is done with a code made up of the page number plus
     the alphabetical line.  For example, 3F would be the assignment on the F-
     line of page 3.  You could write 3F in your daily planner next to the
     time and date the assignment was given, as well as next to the time and
     date when it will be due.  To use this planner, press Retrieve (Shift-
     F10) and enter action.wp.  Make any desired changes, then press Print
     (Shift-F7), (1) Full Document or (2) Page.  When photo copies are made,
     you may wish to shrink the page to fit your binder.  (See "Arrive on
     Time," January '91 p34.)

FONT.WPM (5.1 macro) - This macro uses the {SYSTEM}entry~ macro command,
     available starting with the 6/29/90 release of 5.1, to search for a
     specific font code and replace it with another.  This macro isn't able to
     search and replace specific scaleable fonts, such as those found on the
     HP LaserJet III, IIIP or postscript printers.  The {SYSTEM}entry~ command
     can only "see" the font as it's listed in the base font list.  To use,
     press Macro (Alt-F10), type font and press (Enter).  It'll first prompt
     you to highlight the font you want to replace.  Do so and press (Enter).
     Then you'll be prompted to highlight the replacement font.  Press (Enter)
     when finished.  (See "In Search of Fonts," January '91 p19.)

CALENDAR.WPM (5.1 macro) - This macro creates a calendar using 5.1 tables.  To
     create a calendar, press Macro (Alt-F10), type calendar and press
     (Enter).  A menu with each month listed will display.  Enter the number
     of the month you desire, then enter the year.  The macro will create and
     format a table as a calendar.  To view the calendar, press Print (Shift-
     F7), (6) View Document.  Press Exit (F7) when done.  (See "Yesterday,
     Today and Tomorrow," January '91 p71.)

ALTS.WPM (5.1 macro) - This macro blocks and saves a subdocument in a master
     document to the current directory.  First, you must expand your master
     document.  Then with your cursor anywhere in the desired subdocument,
     press (Alt-S).  At the Block name: prompt enter the name of your
     subdocument.  (See "Mastering Your Document," January '91 p61.)

ALTG.WPM (5.1 macro) - Note: If you have a 5.1 release dated 6/29/90 or later,
     use VER2.WPM explained below.  This macro, along with G-LIST.STY and
     COLUMN.SHM, creates a printout library of your graphics, along with their
     filenames.  Before you use this macro, make sure that only graphic files
     are in your specified directory.  Also, copy G-LIST.STY into your style
     directory and COLUMN.SHM into your default default Shell Macro directory.
     You'll need to customize this macro.  To do so, press Macro Define (Ctrl-
     F10), (Alt-G) and (2) Edit.  Replace the "C:\WP51\GRAPHICS" on line 8
     with your own macro directory.  Press Exit (F7) to save the macro.  To
     use, at a clear screen press (Alt-G).  A document is then created that
     contains a picture of every graphic in your graphic directory, with the
     filename above it.  To view the file press Print (Shift-F7), (6) View
     Document.  Press Exit (F7) when done.  To print, press Print (Shift-F7),
     (1) Full Document.  (See "Seeing is Believing," January '91 p79.)

     library macro.  Note: This file must be copied to your style directory.
     (See "Seeing is Believing," January '91 p79.)

COLUMN.SHM (5.1 shell macro) - This Shell macro is used with ALTG.WPM,
     explained above.  It incorporates each graphic filename into the caption
     of the graphic boxes.  Note: If you have a 5.1 release dated 6/29/90 or
     later, you won't need this macro.  (See "Seeing is Believing," January
     '91 p79.)

VER2.WPM (5.1 macro) - This macro requires a WordPerfect 5.1 release dated
     6/29/90 or later.  It is a shortened version of ALTG.WPM (see above).
     Before you use this macro, make sure that only graphic files are in your
     specified directory.  Also, copy G-LIST.STY to your style directory.  In
     the macro, if necessary, replace the "C:\WP51\GRAPHICS" on line 3 with
     your own macro directory.  To use, at a clear screen press Macro (Alt-
     F10), type ver2 and press (Enter).  (See "Seeing is Believing," January
     '91 p79.)

     particular employee.  Then calculate by placing your cursor in the table
     and pressing Columns/Table (Alt-F7), (5) Math, (1) Calculate.  Note: Each
     time you make changes to the numbers in the table you must recalculate.
     Also, fonts may need to be modified to prevent the text from wrapping.
     (See "New Year's Resolution," January '91 p29.)

ALTC.WPM (5.1/5.0 macro) - This macro copies blocked text.  To  use, block the
     desired text, then press (Alt-C).  If you wish to copy only one complete
     sentence, you need not block the text before invoking the macro.  Simply
     place your cursor anywhere in the sentence and press (Alt-C).  ALTV.WPM
     (below) retrieves the blocked text.  (See "Tea and Macros," January '91
     p39.)

SMQUOTE.WPK (5.1 keyboard) - SMQUOTE.WPK is a soft keyboard that contains a
     smart quotes 5.1 macro that is mapped to your double-quote key.  It is
     "smart" because it places open and closed quotes in the proper places.
     It also gives an "OPEN" or "CLOSE" prompt that tells you which kind of
     quote is being inserted, in case your screen doesn't have the capability
     of showing smart quotes.  To use, press Setup (Shift-F1), (5) Keyboard
     Layout, highlight SMQUOTE, press (1) Select and Exit (F7).  With this
     keyboard selected, each time you press your double-quote key, either a
     "smart" open or close quote is inserted.
     You can turn off this keyboard macro by pressing (Ctrl-6).  This returns
     you to your original keyboard, and your double-quote key will resume its
     normal function until you turn the keyboard definition back on.  You can
     quickly select the keyboard once again by pressing (Ctrl-6) twice.  (See
     "Tea and Macros," January '91 p39.)

     name, saves the document and clears the screen.  To use this macro, press
     Macro (Alt-F10), type exdoc and press (Enter).  (See "TIPS," January '91
     p91.)

INITCAP.WPM (5.1/5.0 macro) - This macro capitalizes the letter that the
     cursor is on.  It then places the cursor at the beginning of the next
