FACMAC is, I hope, a collection of useful macros. At the very
least you should find it a learning experience to see how they're
constructed.


For the most part, no installation is required. Simply copy the
files to your macro directory and begin using them. Exceptions to
this are PATHMAKR and GETCHAR. Refer to the macro descriptions
for more information. There are several macros which you'll want
or need to customize in order to make them compatible with your
system. These are identified in the descriptions contained in the
WP file CATALOG.DOC or the ASCII file CATALOG.TXT.


If you decide to keep and use FACMAC, **please** register it. I
won't belabor the "benefits" of registering shareware you plan to
use. In the words of Wilford Brimley, "It's the right thing to
do." However, you should be aware that the purpose of shareware
marketing is to let you TRY it before you buy it. If you decide
to keep and use FACMAC, or any part of it, you must register AND
pay the registration fee in order to do so legally and morally.


To register, send twenty-five dollars ($25USD) to:


Ken Fackler
2565 Corn Valley #1042
Grand Prairie TX 75051


Please include:

Your disk size preference
Your name
Your address
Your voice phone number
Your data number, if applicable
Your FIDO NetMail address, if applicable
Your CIS or Internet address, if applicable


Site licenses are twenty-five dollars ($25USD) per user with a
maximum of $150. In other words, a site license for 3 users is
$75; if you have six or more users, the site license is a flat
$150.


As a registered user you're entitled to receive one (1) of the
commercial applications listed below FREE, but there is a $2.00
shipping and handling charge to cover the cost of mailing you the
disk. To receive one of the FREE macros, please include both the
name of your selection and the extra $2 with your registration.


If you have any questions about the macros, I participate
regularly in the FIDO echos dedicated to WordPerfect products:
PERFECT and PERFECT_MACRO. Commercial activity is prohibited
there, but it's certainly within the rules for you to ask
questions about these macros and for me to answer them.
Unfortunately the shareware business doesn't pay much so I don't
have an 800 number you can call. For the same reason, I can't
return long distance phone calls. If you wish to contact me on a
one-to-one basis, please use the postal service or one of the
following electronic mail systems.

The macros I write are the result of my own needs working as an
instructional designer, the needs of WordPerfect users I support,
or macro requests from people like you. If you have a macro
need/idea that you would like me to consider for future releases
of FACMAC, send me a description of what you want the macro to do
and any other important conditions or requirements.


    WARNING! The remainder of this document is a commercial.


I'm available on a work-for-hire basis to do WordPerfect
application development including custom macro programming and
merge design. When I'm done, you own that application-lock,
stock, and barrel. But a less expensive alternative is for me to
do your application development and then sell you a software
license. This allows me to retain the copyright and sell the
product to other customers who have similar needs.


Examples of currently available applications:

ENGNUMS   Uses a combination of macro commands and Styles to
          number pages in English, e.g., one, two, three.


FONT      WordPerfect Corporation says, "It can't be done." but
          this macro WILL search and replace for specific fonts
          INCLUDING the size. It works on both fixed pitch AND
          scalable fonts.


FONT2STY  Replaces all occurrences of a specific font with a
          Paired Style. Works on both scalable and fixed pitch
          fonts.


GETWPG    Point and shoot retrieval of graphic files. If you have
          trouble remembering to create a graphic box before
          retrieving a picture, this is for you. It does the job
          for you automatically.


KILLSTY   Removes all unused Styles from your document
          automatically. Reduces file size and improves print
          speed, generation time, etc.


MAC-PICK  Runs a macro on a group of user-selected files.


SHRINK    Reduces file size by "cleaning up" the document prefix
          and removing unused Styles. Improves print speed,
          generation time, etc. Some files may be reduced by as
          much 75%! Works on an individual file or an entire
          directory. Please refer to the WHATSNEW file for
          additional information.


SRCHDOC   Searches 3 levels of subdirectories for a filename and
          retrieves it into WordPerfect. No need to remember long
          pathnames or constantly change your default directory.


SRCHWPG   Searches 3 levels of subdirectories for a graphic file,
          beginning with your default graphics directory.
          Automatically creates a graphic box and then retrieves
          the file into it. No need to remember long pathnames;
          no more getting frustrated with *ERROR--Incompatible
          file format* messages.


STROKE    Counts keystrokes in WordPerfect AS YOU TYPE.
          Optionally displays count on-screen and stores last
          count.


TABLMERG  Automatically merges a secondary file into a Table.
          Works in EITHER direction, horizontally or vertically,
          i.e., you can have one record per ROW or one record per
          COLUMN. It automatically creates the Table for you,
          too.


VIEW-WPG  A viewer utility for browsing graphics (WPG) files.
          Options include retrieving the file being viewed into
          the current document and automatically creating the
          necessary graphics box. Looks much like the Look option
          of the List Files screen in DrawPerfect.
