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

Problem

The answer is yes. It is important to note that the operator has Shell 3.0 or 4.0 installed on the system.

Answer:

You must be running under the Office Shell for these steps to work because this uses the Clipboard. 1. Press Alt-Shift-Minus, then select 1 or 2 to choose rectangle or block mode. 2. Put the cursor at the beginning of the text. 3. Press Enter to start the block. 4. Move the cursor to the end of the desired block. 5. Press Enter to end the block. 6. Choose the desired option to save the block. (Format includes options for SRts or HRts.) 7. To retrieve the block, press Alt-Shift-Plus.

Details:

This will not save any formatting, just text and spaces. This may also be helpful for importing text or menus into the macro editing screen, for printing merge codes, or printing Reveal Codes.
