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. steve {allegra,seismo}!rochester!kodak!archer

> Can one repeatedly print the same file in Wordstar without having to start > the process everytime? A simple way to do this is to use Mail-Merge. 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

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.
