Problem

Solutions: Appendix Q: WordPerfect Files Page(s): 901 The PRINTER.TST section was moved from page 899 to its alphabetical place under "Utility Files" on page 901. (#1,241) Other Format Page(s): 400 The following italicized note was added to the end of the "Notes, Decimal/Align Character/Thousands' Separator" section: If you are using an international version of WordPerfect, you can use a period (.) as the decimal/align character regardless of the primary decimal/align character of the package language. However, you cannot use a period (.) as the decimal/align character when you are using the Math function, where both the decimal/align character and the thousands' separator are used together. (This applies to international versions only.) (#1,933) Appendix G: Initial Settings Page(s): 750 The Initial Setting for "Format Retrieved Documents for Default Printer" was changed from "No" to "Yes." (#1,873) Index Page(s): index The following main entry was added to the Index: Support 14 (#1,779) Index Page(s): Index The following entry was added to page 990 of the Index: {VAR #} 870 (#1,806) Index Page(s): Index The "Superscript, equation 166, 176, 189" index entry was changed to the following: Superscript attribute 36 equation 166, 177, 189 (#1,665) Labels Page(s): 319 The following information was inserted at the end of the "Labels Macro" third-level heading (right after the italicized note): When you retrieve the Labels macro, a list of preset label definitions for laser printers appears. Press Switch (Shift-F3) to see a list of label definitions for tractor-fed (dot matrix) printers. You can scroll through either list by pressing the arrow keys or Page Up (PgUp) and Page Down (PgDn). You can also move the cursor to a particular definition by typing the name of that definition. With the definition highlighted, press Enter to begin building the label. WordPerfect prompts you to specify how paper is fed into your printer. For information on these location options, see Editing a Definition under Paper Size/Type in Reference. When you select an option, a message on the status line asks whether you want to insert the label definition into Document Initial Codes. Even if you choose not to insert the label definition into Document Initial Codes, the definition will still be added to your Format: Paper Size/Type menu. (#2,181) Language Page(s): 325 An entry for Turkish (Language Code TK) was added to the Language Codes list. (#1,879) Compose Page(s): 81 1. The following paragraph was inserted immediately under the third-level "Ctrl-v" heading on page 81: You can use the Ctrl-v keystroke to access Compose from the normal editing screen and from many other places in WordPerfect. However, if you press Ctrl-v from Window Edit structures such as comments and document summaries, or from Line Edit structures such as macro descriptions and other document summary fields, the "Key =" prompt will not be displayed on your screen. 2. The first sentence in the next paragraph (existing first paragraph) on page 81 was changed to read: You cannot use the Ctrl-v keystroke to access Compose from the Macro Editor. You must press Ctrl-2 instead. (#1,864) Paper Size/Type Page(s): 474 The third paragraph under "Codes" was changed to read: If you edit a definition after a code has been inserted into the document, WordPerfect automatically updates the Paper Size/Type code to reflect the new definition when you exit the Format: Paper Size/Type menu. (#1,934) Appendix K: Macros and Merge, Programming Commands Page(s): 821 The following paragraph was added after the existing first paragraph in the NEST SECONDARY}filename~ section: If you nest a secondary file from a secondary file, the first record in the nested secondary file effectively replaces the record containing the {NEST SECONDARY} command in the original secondary file and execution continues in the nested file. When execution returns to the parent secondary file, the record pointer skips to the next record after the one containing the {NEST SECONDARY} command. (For more information on the record pointer, see Record Pointer under Notes at the end of this section.) Therefore, you can only nest one secondary file per record in the parent secondary file. In addition, any field text following the {NEST SECONDARY} command is ignored. (#1,146) Language Page(s): 325 The Language Code for Czechoslovakian was changed from CS to CZ. (#1,936) Switch Page(s): 615 The following paragraph was added just before the "Notes" subheading: WordPerfect has a startup option, /n2, that disables the Document 2 screen to save memory (see Appendix N: Startup Options).
