Utilities and Tips for WordPerfect 6 through X6 |
|
|
Filename |
Description |
| ConvNum.zip | 11/7/11. Version 2.02 of the venerable Number Conversion macro, rewritten for a nicer interface, easier to understand code, and to pull localization information from the Registry. No customization needed. |
|
2/9/02. A duplicate of a bank's deposit ticket template for WordPerfect. It is called by the macro "Deposit Account.wcm" (included) which allows you to select among several accounts, and to set the ticket number. To use it properly, you need the (included) MICR font on your system, and you need to edit the template and its macro to add the right information. Instructions are in README.WPD in the archive. |
|
|
6/29/00. The Directories toolbar concept. Links to a page with a graphic screen shot of my WordPerfect setup, showing the Directories toolbar running down the left of the screen. Each button accesses a separate directory. Better than a QuickList! Instructions on how to do it are below the picture. |
|
|
12/14/10. Contains
DRAFTMAK.WPG, a graphic of a "DRAFT" watermark, 3-D, going diagonally
across the page, with the current date inserted below, plus a macro to turn it on and off and update the date to today's date. |
|
|
9/27/00. A self-extracting archive containing the latest version of the Custom Letterhead Envelope macros, templates, utilities, and graphics. They also contain InfoCentral macros and utilities that work with the WordPerfect macros, a Setup macro, and instructions that run automatically. Click here for a detailed description and to see what it looks like or here for the "Mini-Manual." |
|
|
(Same date). A Zipped archive of the files in ENVELOPE.EXE. The do-it-yourself version. |
|
|
11/3/99. Contains an earlier version of the Envelope macro and templates, using only commands which were available in WordPerfect 7. For that version. Will also work in later versions. |
|
|
7/26/99. Contains an even earlier version of the Envelope macro and templates, using only commands which were available in WordPerfect 6.1. Uses a BIF ("Binary Initialization File") to store settings instead of the Windows Registry. For version 6.1 or later of WordPerfect for Windows. |
|
|
1/04/05. A WordPerfect document containing a function key keyboard template, identical to that formerly supplied with the retail version of WordPerfect. For versions 9 to 12; print it out on cardboard on a color printer, fold into a triangle, and set it above your function keys. |
|
|
2/14/02. A macro which displays a menu of your frequently-used macros for easy access; now you can run or edit. |
|
|
7/8/00. My default template, containing my toolbars, keyboard, and styles. If you want to copy over things directly. |
|
|
8/25/00. Contains some other WordPerfect macros: CONVNUM (number conversion to text), PDFCREATE and PDFAUTO (create Acrobat files using Ghostscript), DATEORD (inserts an ordinal date: e.g., "the12th of May, 2000"), GREENCARD (formats a certified mail card automatically from a letter), and WORD CLEANUP (simple macro to clean up codes from imported Word documents). |
|
| MergePlus.zip |
4/27/09.
MultiMerge was fun to create, but to be honest I gave that up a long
time ago, and now use MergePlus. This macro allows you to select a DAT
file and a destination directory for the result, and keeps that
setting. So when I merge several documents in a row for a client, I
just open them all then use MergePlus to assemble them one by one. It
has options for saving and/or generating the resulting file. I use this
exclusively instead of the internal Merge function. |
| Merge_Techniques.frm | 10/3/08. A WordPerfect file containing some handy techniques for using Merge form and data files for document assembly, including an embedded macro to insert a document date and the "use nested fields as variables" technique. |
|
5/23/06. Version 3.3 , which adds the option to combine the resulting files into one file.
A macro to run multiple merges at once, using a text configuration
file. For instance, I commonly merge a Declaration of Guardian, Durable
Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, and other documents with
a client data file for estate planning clients. Instead of opening each
file and merging each separately, using MultiMerge I can merge the
standard set all at once. To see what it looks like, go here. |
|
|
10/19/06. A PerfectScript macro to "flatten"
PDF (Acrobat) forms, making the form fields uneditable. Great for
archiving and/or sending tax forms to clients. ADDED: a REG file which
will create a right-click context menu to do it without the WordPerfect
macro, which is even handier, though it takes a bit of editing to set
up properly. |
|
| PrintOC.zip | 1/25/08. This macro prints an original document from one location, then a copy or copies of that document from a different location. If you are printing a letter, it can figure out how many copies to print automatically. I use it to print an original letter from the sheet feeder (letterhead bond), then copies from the regular paper tray. It is also useful to print the original and a copy of any document to go to a client. There is a setup dialog where you select the paper size/types (that is how you select different sources in WordPerfect), which saves your settings to an INI file in the macro directory. |
| Save&Mirror.zip | 11/7/11. Version 1.3. Save&Mirror saves your document, and "mirrors" a copy to a location you designate. Save&MirrorSetup pops up a dialog box allowing you to set the mirror location and set whether you are asked to confirm the remote file overwrite. I use it to work on documents on my laptop computer at home. |
|
1/07/04. A macro to replace the broken
SendKeys feature in WordPerfect 9, 10, and 11. Use it or refer to it in
your own macros. |
|
| Stamps.wcm |
2/20/04.
A macro to (1) select the address of the letter you're sending, (2) run
the Stamps.com software, (3) optionally insert your password
automatically, then (4) insert the address in the software. |
|
7/30/99. Contains a WordPerfect document giving various examples of how one can do text formatting using the Tables feature. |
|
|
7/14/00. Contains a collection of icons for the WordPerfect toolbar (bitmaps). |
|

Utilities and Tips for Peachtree Accounting for Windows |
|
|
Filename |
Description |
|
5/04/04. Contains templates for printing checks and deposit tickets on blank stock directly from Peachtree Accounting (note that earlier versions may not be able to do deposits), plus an MICR font. This way, you can print checks and deposit tickets for several different accounts using one store of blank stock. NOTE: Bud Aaron at CheckMaster kindly pointed out that the font I formerly had in this archive belonged to him. Anyone who has downloaded this file, please download this new one and remove the old MICR font from your system. Anyway, I have replaced it with the font I actually use. This is for people who like to fiddle and set up things themselves, and works perfectly for me. If you want a more user-friendly, turnkey way to print checks on blank stock, you can use software such as that available at http://www.checkmaster.com. |
