Using Word for Windows 2.0 to write source code.

Do you write software?
Do you wish your editor had more features?
Tired of text mode, even with all its speed?
Ever wanted to put a chart or spreadsheet into your document?
How about colorizing parts of it.

I am a professional programmer, and have converted almost exclusively
to using Microsoft Windows as my development environment.  Within that
environment I use Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0 (Winword). I write 
letters, user manuals, memos, and for the past year I have been writing 
my source code in Winword.  I write assembly and C software for uP's  
like the 6805, 8051, and the 6811.  I also write C code to execute on 
80x86 uP's.

The file shsource.dot is a winword template.  This template is, for the
most part, a collection of macros that intercept various commands like
file save, file open, file exit, and file close.
There are new items on the menus like- 
	Edit Source Code Setup,
	Edit Module Settings,
	Insert Select to bookmark, 
	Insert Function Entry,
	Format Color, 
	Tools Blue Comments, 
	Window Cascade, and 
	Help About Template

Under the Help About Template, is a brief description of the other macros
in the collection.

**************************************************************************
To Install shsource.dot

	simply copy it to the directory where winword.exe is installed.

**************************************************************************
To start a new source code document

	Start winword, then choose file new,
	Select shsource in the 'use template' list box,
	make sure that you are creating a New Document with the
		radio button on document not template, and
	click OK.

**************************************************************************
To attach an existing document

	Start winword, and open the existing file
	Choose File Save As... and make the extension .DOC,
	Select Word Document (*.doc) in the 'Save File as Type:" listbox,
	choose OK.
	Select File Template,
	Select shsource in the 'Attach Document To:' list.
	choose OK.
	Select Tools Macro,
	Select AutoExec and choose OK.

**************************************************************************
To create a program manager icon for an existing document

	Activate program manager
	Choose File New,
	Select the Program Item radio button, and choose OK,
	Type in the description you want to appear under the icon.
	In the command line field, type the following:
		c:\winword\winword.exe c:\projects\widget_1.doc
	In the Working directory, type:
		c:\projects
	Choose OK.

	Note that this assumes 3 things:
		1. winword.exe is in the path c:\winword
		2. your source code is in the path c:\projects
		3. your source document is named widget_1

**************************************************************************
If your source is spread across several files
	Do the above, except- In the command line field, type the following:
	c:\winword\winword.exe c:\projects\widget_1.doc widget_2 widget_3 /mAutoExec

	It will then automatically open the files widget_1.doc, widget_2.doc, widget_3.doc
	all from the same directory c:\projects.

The /mAutoExec tells word to automatically run the macro named AutoExec, which is in the
template.  This macro causes the cascade macro to run.

I use this macro daily, and have been refining it for almost a year.  The number
and frequency of refinements has dropped so low, I thought it was time to share it.

If you try it, thank you.  If you grow to use it regularly, I would appreciate a
token of your appreciation, I am asking $20.  This will get you registration information 
so it does not bug you in 30 days, and notification of upgrades.

Even if you only try it, or if you use it but don't send in the registration 
fee, I still welcome your suggestions.

To register, send your name printed as you wish it registered along with $20.
