[Papyrus-L] Macro for WordPerfect users

[Hugh Gunz]

For WordPerfect users, I've got a macro to which you're welcome which 
prepares a document for Papyrus Text Extract (PTE) by duplicating each of 
the Papyrus codes (between %% markers) so that, after the text extraction 
process, the document has the original codes in addition to the references 
(e.g. Bloggs (1823)) inserted by Papyrus.

Why might you want to do this? One of the very few limitations of Papyrus 
is that you have to run PTE in order to see exactly how long your finished 
opus will be, and once you've run it, you can't un-run it. So if you have 
more references to add, you have to do so by hand.

Also, those of us who are human tend to find ourselves editing the finished 
file instead of the one with the codes in it, and once you've done that, 
again you're back in adding-references-by-hand territory. That wasn't why 
you bought Papyrus.

The macro marks the duplicated codes as "hidden" text, meaning that they 
can be hidden from view and from being printed by unchecking the 
WordPerfect menu item View -- Hidden Text. Conversely, they can be viewed 
by checking this item again.

A vast beta test team -- ok, a couple of colleagues -- report that the 
macro works. If you'd like a copy, drop me an email.

Cheers
