Close after Save |
Saves and Closes the Open file.
|
Close w/o Save
|
|
Closes the Open document without Saving it.
|
|
CloseNoSave, ReOpen
|
|
Closes Open Drawing file without Saving; reOpens the
file. | Effectively: Discard Changes.
|
Draw Polygon
|
|
Draws a Regular Polygon to user specification. | Pres 8 included this feature; later versions do not. Definitely a candidate for a Toolbar button.
|
Show All Files or Insert Graphics
|
|
In Pres, File|Open - Show All Files. | Now modified to Insert|Graphics|From file - simple to modify back again: effectively, two macros.
|
SldeInst.zip | (c.43K)
|
Composes in one or more steps a list of image files. | On command, Inserts the files into successive slides in an Open Slide Show. This is a non-callback-Dialog version of SlideIns below, composed to avoid a PerfectScript glitch that can now be eliminated - see the note here.
|
SldeCtrl
|
Makes basic settings and calls the other macros as the user directs. | Uses a one-dimension array, which is used in SldeInst, in a fairly obscure way.
SldeAdd
|
Begins, adds to or deletes from the file list,
|
SldeInst
|
Inserts the listed files into the slideshow.
|
SldeList
|
Finds all files in a folder that match user choices; makes new list or
appends to an existing list.
|
|
|
SldeList offers one filter list of file extensions. SlideLst
below allows you to set four filter lists for file extensions and file names.
The lesser range of choices is the only real difference between these macros
and the callback-Dialog versions below; usually this range is
sufficient.
|
|
SlideIns.zip | (c.53K)
|
Four macros parallel those in SldeInst above. The callback-Dialog
macros run a little more neatly. | In both versions the use of an intermediate list is extremely useful: a user may arrange the filenames in the order required in the Slide Show. Updated, improved and expanded January 2020
|
SlideCtl
|
Makes basic settings and calls the other macros as the user directs. | Uses a callback Dialog so that one click on a button launches the action. Uses a one-dimension array, which is used in SlideIns, in a fairly obscure way.
SlideAdd
|
Begins, adds to or deletes from the file list. | A callback Dialog controls the macro actions, and manipulates the Dialog itself.
SlideIns
|
Inserts the listed files into the slideshow.
|
SlideLst
|
Begins or appends to a list all files in a folder that match user choices.
You set up and choose within and between two filter lists for file extensions
and two for file names. | Three callback Dialogs are used, two of which manipulate the Dialogs themselves as well as initiating actions. Additionally, the macro reads data directly from text files, an effective technique.
|
Trace all Text items
|
|
This is really quite klunky, but it works. | The macro finds all Text items and performs Tools|Trace Text. It selects all the results and Groups them. Uses a tiny four-dimension array. Unlikely to repay study.
|

|
Close QP, after Save
|
|
Saves and Closes the current QP document. | I find it handy, calling it through a toolbar icon. - Barry MacDonnell explains how to do this in WP here - the steps in QP are neither the same nor very dissimilar. For some reason QP sometimes asks [Save?] anyway.
|
Convert QP to Upper Case
|
|
Converts text in Selected Block to upper case. | Of course, it can be simply edited to do the opposite.
|
Get file listing using AR
|
|
The macro asks user to identify the first folder to search
and to supply a filename search term (or terms); it calls the well liked
Search app
Agent Ransack
using command line options to send the results to a text file, which it then
Opens. You get the Search results in WP in one move. | Agent Ransack offers Regular Search terms. List Files Found applies standard format to the file that this macro produces. A great advantage is that you can create two or three such file lists, and on them use macro Compare Lists. It is not possible presently to specify a Content Search term without fear of information overload. For that, you should use Agent Ransack directly, or upgrade to FileLocator Pro, using which a Content Search by macro is safe.
|
Upload Files
|
|
Builds and executes command lines so that the not-free
WS_FTP Pro
uploads a folderful of files or a list of files from one local to one web
folder. | The macro does nothing that the wizard that comes with WS_FTP Pro does not do. But the wizard operates interactively, while the macro takes a more leisurely approach. The list affords checking before uploading, repeated use, and a record of activities. Re: a folderful of files - in early testing an upload (of those listed on these pages) missed the first four. Tests continue . . . In normal use one would anyway for a folderful probably use Select|right-click-and-go.
|
ZipList.zip
|
|
Builds and executes command lines so that a free plugin to the
not-free WinZip zips a list of
files. | Upload Files above finishes the job. Both macros expect output as from Listzips.zip.
|
ZipList
|
|
Zips listed single files to either subfolders of the folders (listed in
the macro) in which they are found, or to a common folder.
|
ZipLmult
|
|
Zips to a common folder files listed as eg: | zipfile1.zip|file1.ext|file2.ext|zipfile2.zip|file3.ext|file4.ext|file5.ext - which would produce a zipfile1.zip containing two files and a zipfile2.zip containing three files.
|
|
The macros below are examples rather than "unzip and play". | They all work well, but they are tailored to do just what I want; therefore they are unlikely to do exactly what you want. But with some tweaking they can perhaps be useful for you too.
|
Add Data to QP
|
|
Identifies successive Labels in a QP Column. Finds each such
Label in a specified WP document; copies a related data item. | Inserts that item into the first empty Col of the QP Row.
|
Get text from another app
|
|
Copies all or selected text (user's choice) from an open
document in NoteTab or Virtual Access to the bottom of the current WP
document. | To use an app other than those, some tweaking is of course needed, but that is not very hard to do. NoteTab is a highly recommendable text editor; Virtual Access is the newsreader I use.
|
Send text to another app
|
|
Sends text from WP, NoteTab or an ASCII file, to a web
newsgroup Reply screen if one is found, otherwise to Virtual Access, just
assuming that a Message window is Open there. | Tweaking is certainly required; other apps could as easily be targeted.
