If you don't have it another approach is to use ^KB -- ^KK to mark the whole text. Then use ^KC repeatedly to make as many copies as you desire. If you have page numbering turned on put a .pn1 at the top of the block. Also, put a .pa at the bottom to ensure that each copy starts at the beginning of a page. The best thing about Wordstar is if you want to do something there is usually a way to do it. Jim Potter jp@lanl.arpa

My version of Wordstar (2.26) has a 'number of copies' option to the 'M' (merge-print) command on the NO-FILE menu. Bill Edwards Harvard University edwards@harvard.ARPA edwards@harvard.UUCP

Can one repeatedly print the same file in Wordstar without having to start
the process everytime? I like to use my printer as a cheap copier, but
dislike having to babysit the process.

Without Mailmerge, babysit, or block copy the entire document onto the end of itself nn times, then print it ^K^B at the beginning ^K^K at the end ^K^C makes a total of 2 copys then ^K^B at the beginning ^K^K at the end ^K^C makes a total of 4 copys, .. etc. Richard Klappal UUCP: ..!ihnp4!wlcrjs!uklpl!rlk | "Money is truthful.

The best way to output multiple copies from Wordstar is to utilize Mailmerge to output your file. Even if you are not really performing mailmerge functions, such as customizing form letters, you have the ability to specify how many copies you wish to have printed. Mel Moy melmoy@nprdc
