Hi, I want to spell-check ASCII text files using WP. Therefore I wrote a macro which does some transformations on the file (hyphenation off, large line width, Ctrl-Z stripping etc) and then calls the spellings checker. After checking is complete, my macro automatically saves the file and exits WP. The Problem: The spellchecker does noet take its input from the user, but from the trailing part of the macro! This gives some unpredictable behavior. After the end of the macro, the speller takes input from the keyboard as usual, but the file is (obviously) not saved after spelling. What should I do to make this macro working? If someone already made such a macro, could I have it? -- --------===========--------- Eelco Vriezekolk, wsineel@win.tue.nl Computer scientist looking for career in any civilized country.

Very roughly, you must have a [PAUSE] in your macro where you expect WP is waiting for input. You may be able to discover that from some of the state variables. Look up your WP manual. -- Regards, Ron House. (s64421@zeus.usq.edu.au) (By post: Info Tech, U.C.S.Q. Toowoomba. Australia. 4350)
