The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: FYI: WordPerfect will not print in the background while you run a macro. Macros need to wait until the printing is completed to continue. When running macros and printing at the same time, WP must divide up processor time (time slice). The macro will get some processor time, and then the print job will get some processor time. When a macro stops at a {CHAR} or {TEXT} command and awaits input, the macro receives all of the processor time until the input is received. If you need to send a print job while in a macro, you should force WP to wait in a loop until the print job completes. This will allow the print facility the necessary time to process the print job. Please see memos WP51_6934M and PR1_2678 for more information.
