Problem

Solutions: The following macro, from the March, 1991 issue of WordPerfect Magazine, converts secondary merge files into ASCII delimited format. It was written by Alan Smoot. {DISPLAY OFF} {Home}{Home}{Home}{Up}" {Replace}N{End Field}{Enter}{Search}","{Search} {Home}{Home}{Home}{Up} {Replace}N,"{Merge Codes}e{HPg}{Search}{Enter}"{Search}{Del} {DISPLAY ON} {Text In/Out}11{PAUSE}{Enter}{Enter} {Exit}nn In the second-to-the-last line there must be two {Enter} commands (in the magazine there was only one). Also, to avoid extra CR/LF in the exported ASCII file, the user should either select a small font (e.g., CG Times 3pt) at the beginning of the file or a wide paper size (e.g., Paper/Size Type 50" x 11") in the document Initial Codes.
