An article in the February, 1990, edition of WordPerfect Magazine inspired the six WP (Ver. 5.1) macros included here. The article ("Fontless Printing," pp. 53-55) showed how it would be possible to create headlines in any desired point size, regular or bold, using the equation editor in WordPerfect 5.1.

Included here are:

12POINT.WPM ...................12 point header macro

18POINT.WPM ...................18 point header macro

24POINT.WPM ...................24 point header macro

36POINT.WPM ...................36 point header macro

48POINT.WPM ...................48 point header macro

60POINT.WPM ...................60 point header macro

POINT.WP5 ..................... WP 5.1 document showing	results of the macros

POINTDOC.WP5 .................. This explanation

Each macro uses the setup (SHIFT-F1) to reset the default graphics character size, then goes to the Equation Editor and creates an explanatory header, leaving you in the editor (an ENTER will exit you back to the rest of the macro). At this point, you may edit the header as you wish, except you cannot use the ENTER key until you are finished. When you exit, the graphic character size is reset to the default and you are put into full document viewing mode to see the header. Press ENTER and you will exit from the macro normally, going back to the document editing screen.

The Equation Editor is rather tricky to use, since it was designed for mathematical equations and not for text. Check your manual on this . . . for example, you must use the tilde (~) for spaces between words and the pound sign (#) for line separators. Other surprises await you, but I'll let you discover them!

These macros were an evening's quick and dirty work by someone fairly new to WordPerfect. They're free - no copyright, no "donation" requested! You're probably getting what you're paying for, anyway . . . have fun fixing them up to suit yourself.
