Utilities and Tips for WordPerfect 6 through X4 |
|
|
Filename |
Description |
| ConvNum.zip | 9/29/06. Version 2.0 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. |
|
|
2/17/00. Contains DRAFTMAK.WPG, a graphic of a "DRAFT" watermark, 3-D, going diagonally across the page. |
|
|
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&Copy.zip | 11/30/07. Save&Copy saves your document, and saves a copy to a designated location. Save&CopyQuick does this without stopping for a dialog box. |
| Save&Mirror.zip | 11/30/07. Save&Mirror is like Save&Copy, except it copies the subdirectory structure. I use it to work on documents on my laptop computer at home; Save&Mirror updates the desktop source automatically. Save&MirrorQuick does this bypassing the dialog box. |
|
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 InfoCentral 7 |
|
|
Filename |
Description |
|
Version
1.2.
FINALLY, updated Area Code and State databases for InfoCentral. Version 1.2 adds a honking lot of codes for the Netherlands and the U.K., plus some minor U.S. updates. Download
the NewData.zip file from link at left. Unzip it, and follow the
instructions in ReadMe.txt. PLEASE
SEND ME CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS if you find any errors! These could not
have been done without
Glenn Delahoy's nifty MoveData utility, for which I am eternally
grateful. His work is
worth appreciating, and I encourage all to go to Glenn's
Software and show it. |
|
|
Version 2.3: 3/27/06. Version 2.3 of Mike's Modular Macros for InfoCentral. This needs its own page to describe. |
|
|
1/03/01. Contains an
"Add Internet Location" macro for InfoCentral, which restores the "Add
Internet Location" functionality. Unfortunately, does not work on NT
systems. |
|
|
1/4/07. Contains an "Address Book" macro for WordPerfect and InfoCentral, updated to version 1.07, which allows you to access InfoCentral as you would the Address Book. Not as new as the stuff in Modular Macros. |
|
|
7/12/00. The InfoCentral Application Programming Interface files, from the Office 7 Pro Library disk. If you want to get down and dirty with the programming, this is what you need. |
|
|
7/27/99. Includes my replacement macro for InfoCentral's CallerID function, which will actually announce calls on your computer. |
|
|
1/16/10. An archive explaining (in README.WPD) how to create related files with newer versions of WordPerfect, with examples. Includes an updated WPICRUN.INI file to replace the old one. |
|
|
1/14/00. Contains EXPOLIST.MXE, a macro to export a list into ASCII comma-delimited format. Works with the WordPerfect macro"EXPOLIST.WCM" (available in the ENVELOP8.ZIP or ENVELOP9.ZIP archive, depending on your WordPerfect version) to create a merge data file automatically. |
|
|
02/06/02. Links to a page of InfoCentral example IBases, expecially for those with the downloadable version. Also includes a link to a brand new "ICSetup.exe," to set up the NT-enabled version of InfoCentral. |
|
|
|
12/20/03. Two macros (one for WordPerfect, one for InfoCentral) that work together and allow you to access your InfoCentral data from within WordPerfect! Select a category or tab, select from the list of the objects in that category or on that tab, and you can create a WordPerfect Merge Data file automatically, Insert or Delete the selected data, access FastFind, or use E-mail or the Web. Third version release. This is pretty darned cool. Makes the "ExpoList" macro unnecessary. Click here for a more detailed description and to see what it looks like. |
| ICEMail |
01/22/04. Use
InfoCentral as your e-mail address book. Removed
because there's a much improved version in the Modular Macros

|
01/21/04. I converted
the InfoCentral manual, originally in Envoy format, to Adobe Acrobat
format, and you can download that from this link. |
|
| InfoCentral for Linux | 05/18/08. Although InfoCentral will not function on Windows Vista (unless run in a Windows 98 virtual machine), one resourceful gentleman has managed to get it to work on Linux, using WINE. Hilary Wright's instructions and files to get InfoCentral working on Linux may be downloaded from the link at left. |
| Internet |
01/22/04. Access the Internet. Removed because there's a much improved version in the Modular Macros collection. |
|
1/22/04. The InfoCentral macros manuals in WordPerfect document format. I have made a number of corrections and additions. |

MAKMENU.MNW, a replacement menu for InfoCentral, including macro
functions. Included with the Envelope utilities as well. Added: a brief
description on how to customize InfoCentral. |
|
| MultiCon |
1/25/04.
Connect multiple objects to one other object. Removed because there's a
much improved version in the Modular
Macros
collection. Now version 2.1 can connect to Files, Disk Drives, and
Folders too. Plus some error-trapping added. |
|
1/03/02. Contains PALMEXPOLIST.MXE, a macro to export a list of Persons and Organizations into ASCII comma-delimited format, combining the information and putting it in perfect order for importing to Palm Desktop 4. Allows you to enter your information into InfoCentral, then export easily to your Palm. |
|
|
Push
Macro |
01/22/04. Removed because there's a much improved version in the Modular Macros collection. |

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. |
