WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A couple of things need to be kept in mind when a macro is run within the Document Comment Edit or Create screen (Control-F5, 4, 1 or 2). Many users may find that WordPerfect appears to lock and a *Please Wait* message will appear at the bottom of the screen. In most cases, this is caused by the {DISPLAY OFF} code in the macro. The {DISPLAY OFF} code is recognized in the Document Comment screen, but {DISPLAY ON} is not. This means that WordPerfect continues to run in {DISPLAY OFF} mode until the Document Comment screen is exited, even though the macro has stopped running. Pressing F7 will usually exit from the Document Comment screen and allow the user to continue. Two possibilities to eliminate problems are: 1. If a macro is to be run inside a Document Comment box, delete the {DISPLAY OFF} code from the macro. or 2. Include in the macro an F7 to exit from the Document Comment Create or Edit screen.
