Contact Information



BEFORE you send an email, please read the 7 paragraphs below.


 Then address your e-mail to:


wpguru (at) wptoolbox (.) com
      • Change (at) to  @
      • Remove parentheses and spaces

[UPDATED Aug 22, 2012 - Address is subject to change.]

  • (1) The email address above is for correspondence about -
    - my macros (not someone else's macros), or
    - information posted on this website, or
    - your suggestions for WordPerfect macros or tips that might be useful to other users.

    If your email does not fit into one of these 3 categories I am very unlikely to respond to it.

  • (2) This website is not a WordPerfect "Help Desk" nor is it affliated with Corel, Inc. Its purpose is to offer you some free tools and tips for WordPerfect. It is a voluntary donation supported site and all donations, regardless of their size, are greatly appreciated.

  • (3) This entire site is searchable from a search field you will see at the top of the major pages (Home, Tips, Library, etc.). You can also use Google's advanced search to search just this site: Enter your search terms in Google and then follow the items with site:wptoolbox.com. Please don't contact me simply to ask my help in finding something on this site. Yes, there's a lot here...but your persistence should pay dividends in time and effort saved in the future.

  • (4) If you have a problem with WordPerfect, or need help with its features or functions, or need help with your own macros, read the Help Tips page for suggestions and links to internet resource sites such as WordPerfect Universe, which is a non-Corel site that is free to join. WordPerfect Universe also has a Macros & Merges Forum where you can get help with your own macros and merges. Also see Corel's OfficeCommunity.com.  
    [N.B.: The author is retired and does not hire out for custom work or personal consultations.]

  • (5) Problem reports:  If you are having a problem with one of my macros, please help me by "walking through" the problem with enough detail so that I can replicate your steps. Be sure to include the specific version (or "build") of WordPerfect you are using (the four-part decimal number as shown under Help, About WordPerfect).

  • (6) Attachments: Do not send attachments (documents, pictures, macros, etc.) without asking me first. If you do, the e-mail message is automatically deleted on my end without ever being opened. (So if you don't get a response from me, you now know why.)

  • (7) Submitting suggestions, ideas, or macro code:
         If you send me a suggestion or idea for a macro, please be aware that I cannot pay for suggestions or ideas, and in any case, ideas are not 'copyrightable' so I may (or may not) use them in any manner whatsoever. I will give you credit (your name only; no other identifying information) unless you ask me not to do so, but that's all. 
         If you send me a code snippet or functioning macro that you did not create, be sure to let me know where you got it; otherwise, it will be discarded. To use it, I will need the author's permission.

Personal stuff ...

"Once a Marine, always a Marine."

The USMC / Combat Helicopter Association's site is at www.popasmoke.com.

Some of my own photos of Operation ShuFly, the first major deployment of Marines into South Vietnam in April 1962, are posted on that site (see here and other pages). 

Several of them were included in a centerfold article in the April 2002 issue of Leatherneck Magazine.


"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana - U.S. philosopher, poet (1863–1952)

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." ... "The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it." George Orwell - English essayist, novelist, satirist and author of "1984" (1903 - 1950)

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill - English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873). Lest you think this quotation reflects a conservative or "right-wing" position, Mr. Mill was an ackknowledged liberal (in the classical sense).
