- menu selections

Customize your
toolbars with new toolbar buttons
|
Create a new toolbar button to play
a macro, load a program or a favorite file, send keystrokes to
the document, or use a built-in WordPerfect feature that might
not already be on a toolbar or menu.

|
Customize your
keyboard with new shortcut keys ("hot keys")
|
Assign a macro, feature, program, or string
of keystrokes to a key or key combination (e.g., <Ctrl+1>
or <Alt+Shft+m>).
Also -
- Note that many things are already assigned
to some key combinations -- mostly navigation, insert/delete,
and select text features. For more on keystroke "shortcuts"
in WordPerfect for Windows, see Using
CUA (WordPerfect for Windows) and DOS keystrokes, a three-page
PDF reference (left-click to read, right-click to download)
- Intermediate to Advanced users: Make
a key do "double duty" by assigning a macro to
it, and make the macro play only if the key is struck multiple
times (e.g., 2x, 4x, etc.)
|
Customize your
menus with new selections
|
Add new menu selections (or submenus)
to the WordPerfect menu bar to play a macro, feature, program,
etc.
Also -
- While not a menu in the technical sense,
you can create a vertical
toolbar with text labels (instead of graphic icons)
to quickly access your favorite folders, templates, and files.
See How
to Create a Vertical Toolbar with Text Buttons to Access Your
Favorite Folders, Templates and Files (a PDF document; 145Kb).
- Create a "macro menu" to play other
macros. See Mike Koenecke's MacroMenu.zip at http://www.macros.koenecke.us/.
It uses a push-button display to make it easy to play any of
your macros. User-customizable: Just open the macro for editing
and replace the examples. Add your macro names to the first green-colored
list, and the titles of the macros to the second green-colored
list. (Note that the last item in each list does not terminate
with a semicolon.) A second macro is included that allows choosing
between playing the macro and editing it. You can play either
macro from a toolbar button or keystroke combination (see tips
above).
