1st Word Macro file

Mr.Tacon (GEnie)
I do quite a lot of word processing in my work and have been
looking for the "Ultimate Word Processor" for quite some time.
Till recently Word Perfect has not been available, and now the
price makes it just a dream to me!
Like most people I got my copy of 1st Word when I bought my
Atari over two years ago. It suited my needs for a while but
while mousing has it's uses, It can be cumbersome in a word
processor. (Especially one that requires mousing to select just
about anything...such as 1st Word).
When Word Writer ST came around I ran out and plunked down my
cash and was very happy to have all those features at my finger
tips so to speak. But some things about Word Writer I don't like.
The biggest irritation is how it and THUNDER the spelling checker
get along. THUNDER makes WW slow to a crawl, while 1st Word and
THUNDER seem to be friends. (Actually I use Regent Word II for
most of my small tasks, but sadly enough I can't get the Macro's
to work with RW II, I'll leave that to someone else). And finally
I wanted to try out the new spiffy Macro Maker on my Winter STart
disk. So I present to you...Poor man's Word Writer.
To use this macro you MUST have a copy of STARTKEY.ACC
available on the winter STart Disk. (Reason enough to go out and
buy it). Along with the ACC you will get instructions and a
compiler to make your own nifty macro's. If YOU DO have
STARTKEY.ACC then rename 1stmacro.max to macros.max and put it on
your disk along with the ACC and reboot. You will then have full
keyboard control of all the menu items except ACC's and Help.
Even the function key font control's are duplicated ala' Word
Writer. (Shades of Look and Feel Litigation)? This version was
designed for 1st Word 1.03. I suspect that ver 1.06 is the same,
and it should work fine. Ok enough said, here are the controls, I
have tried to keep them as logical as possible

Control-l Layout Alt-r Read File

Control-f1 Start Blk. Control-f2 End Blk.
Control-f3 Cut Blk. Control-f4 Paste Blk.
Control-f5 Copy Blk. Control-f6 Move Blk.
Control-f7 Delete Blk. Control-f8 Find Start

There you have it folks, hope that everyone enjoy's my
efforts and that others are motivated to outshine me!
Merry Christmas to All!!!
