Compatible with WordPerfect 7 and later versions

Downloading, Documentation, Modifications, and Support

(1) DELCODES deletes selected single codes from a document such as [Bold On], [Hypertext Begin], [Para Spacing], [Tab Set], etc. Many of these codes are actually the beginning code that is part of a pair of codes surround text; deleting the first code will automatically delete the second (ending) code. Other codes, such as [Tab Set], are strictly single codes and are not part of a pair. The list of codes presented in the opening menu can be modified in the macro code.

(2) DELPAIRS deletes pairs of "empty" attribute or appearance codes such as [Und On][Und Off] that may have been left behind in a document after editing. They are "empty" because there is no text between them. DELPAIRS is very useful in cleaning up clutter in the Reveal Codes window.

NOTE: The download file was named DELPAIRS.ZIP prior to 3/21/01. Both macros are based on John Land's public domain macros.

TIP: For a macro that can clean up extra codes inserted when you import a Microsoft Word document, see Mike Koenecke's Word Cleanup macro, park of his MAKMacros suite,
