What's Here ...
300+ Pages of Tips, Macros
& Templates
 More than 100
WordPerfect for Windows macros and templates
... free for the downloading in the library.
(This site is supported solely by donations.)
Hundreds of WordPerfect for Windows tips on the
main tips page and related pages. (An
alphabetical list of related tips pages - those that deserve
more than a paragraph or two - can be browsed here.)
|
The tips on this site are for a
wide range of people, from beginners to advanced users. However, many of the methods are for intermediate
and advanced users. You can simply skip over the advanced ones
until you are more comfortable with the program.
If you are new to WordPerfect you should consider obtaining a good book on the
basic features of the program, such as those listed below.
Such books usually pay for themselves many times over by decreasing
frustration and increasing productivity. Once you learn the basics,
advanced information on this site will be more useful to you. |
Lots of free items from other authors,
such as John Land Esq.'s excellent collection of 160+ macros
designed for law firms (and other users).
Many of the above are downloadable ZIP files or PDF files. (What
to do with them? See below.)

HiLite
Five
macros to assist in finding and highlighting words or phrases,
apply (or replace) different highlight colors in a document,
etc. Updated 07/08/08 with code to detect the new redaction
codes in WordPerfect X4.
NoteTools
A
suite of six macros to navigate or convert footnotes and endnotes.
Updated 02/29/08 with a new macro, LinkNotes, which
creates "round-trip" hyperlinks to let you quickly
jump between a particular footnote or endnote number in a WPD
or PDF document to the footnote or endnote itself -- and vice
versa -- with a mouse click.
Calendars (v1.04)
A
suite of macros that create monthly and annual calendars, formatted
using WordPerfect tables. Updated 02/27/08 with new options
for the monthly calendar macro.
TabSet25 (v1.1)
A
small macro that sets new tab stops every 0.25 inches, either
at the very top of the document or starting at the current cursor
location. You can also choose to set tabs Relative to the left
margin or Absolute distances from the left edge of the page.
Subsequent back tabs (<Shift+Tab>) allow outdenting text
from the margin. Updated 12/19/07.
Code2Txt (v2.12)
A
macro that can change text surrounded by WordPerfect format codes
(e.g., [Bold On]...[Bold Off]) to text surrounded by user-defined plain-text markers
(e.g., <B>...</B>) -- and vice versa. The first function is useful
to convert WP format codes to HTML tags or to replace WordPerfect
format codes with Folio, Ventura Publisher, InDesign, or Quark
Xpress markup codes, etc. The second function does the reverse:
It can convert user-defined text-markes to WP format codes. Updated
11/17/07.
Brackets (v1.01)
A
customizable macro that creates an "outdented" table
-- i.e., a table that extends slightly outside page margins --
with a large, full-height left and/or right border that simulates
a large square bracket ( "[" and/or "]" ).
It can be used to set off text for special purposes, such as
to format "pull quotes" or editorial comment, or to
indicate that several characters are speaking simultaneously
in theater and opera manuscripts. Updated 10/30/07.

Do you have the original release of WordPerfect
11 (i.e., version 11.0.0.233 as shown in Help > About
WordPerfect)? See here
for specific issues.
Note to Windows Vista users: WordPerfect
Office X3 with Service Pack 2 (i.e., 13.0.0.568 as
shown in Help > About WordPerfect) or later versions/builds
of WordPerfect are the only WordPerfect programs that Corel officially
certifies will work properly under Vista. Earlier, fully patched
versions/builds might work under Vista, but there is no guarantee
this will be true on your system. For information on WordPerfect's
versions and specific builds for each version (the four-part
number above), and the various Corel Service Packs available,
see here.
For some personal notes on running WordPerfect 12.0.0.602
under Vista (which requires a small, downloadable Microsoft patch
file [WinHlp32.exe] to allow earlier Windows Help files to work
under Vista), see this
post on WordPerfect Universe.
After
an automatic Microsoft update to Vista appeared to have caused
a serious system crash on my computer with Vista Ultimate installed
on a separate partition -- it would not boot into VIsta and it
could not be repaired from the Vista disc -- I removed Vista
after eight months of light use. Restoring my system took almost
two days. As a result, I will not be testing any tips, methods,
templates, or macros under Vista until (and if) I get a computer
with Vista pre-installed, which will probably be well into Vista's
life cycle. |

archive files (known as "ZIP" files; see here for more). Just download the desired
