In addition. pressing CTRL lt Backspace doesnt delete a word, and bolded or italicized. A dash. appears properly when automatic hyphenation is performed. A hyphen is manually produced on a standard PC keyboard by pressing. The reason. the normal hyphen cannot be produced by direct keystroke on the 9.

Perfect 4. 2 by pressing CTRL F1. Enter a macro name when prompted. I used ALTP. MAC lt ON DISK ICON. The. MAC extension is recognized by Word. Perfect as a macro file. ALTP means. that you press ALT P to activate the macro in Word. Perfect 4. 2. I chose. P in ALT P because it is directly below the backspace key and far enough. ALT key that I dont trip over my fingers when trying to. Type in CTRL lt Backspace as the contents of the macro. Copy the macro ALTP. MAC back to the 9. Cs Go Launcher more. LX, into the same directory. WP. EXE. 5. To delete a word in a document, place the cursor on the blank space. ALT P. One important point about restoring deletions made with the new ALT P. When you delete using CTRL lt Backspace on a PC three consecutive. Restore F1 1. However, if you used the ALT P macro on the 9. LX to. delete three words, pressing F1 1 would only restore the last word deleted. If you press F1 2 you are shown the 2nd to the last word deleted and. When Word. Perfect is running on a PC, pressing CTRL END deletes the. Because the 9. 5LXs END key is. Shifted Right. Arrow, you have to first press lt Shift and then hold. CTRL and press lt Right. Arrow. NOTE Pressing CTRL and then. Shift lt Right. Arrow does not work for some reason. The STICK. COM. lt ON DISK ICON utility makes ALT and CTRL sticky, which means. Using. STICK.

Reveal Codes screen, but the words do not appear bolded or italicized. LXs screen. I bracket these words with a rarely used character. LX by pressing CHAR B to make them easier. When it comes time to print the document or to transfer it to a. PC, I remove all of the with a special macro ALTB. MAC lt ON DISK ICON. Using WP 4. 2s Spell Checker. Using Word. Perfect 4. Spell Checker or Thesaurus requires patience. However, I think the extra effort. LX. When Word. Perfect comes to a word its spell checker doesnt recognize. If you have your right margin set wider than 4. You can press the. ALT lt Shift lt Left. Arrow or the ALT lt Shift lt Right. Arrow. to move the screen to the left or right so you can see the highlighted. The 1. 6 row set up also impacts the way WP 4. If Word. Perfect is spell checking a document and comes. When Word.
