Custom Line Insert

[Murry Schoenberger]

Very often insert a full width double line -- is there a way to set this
up as a button so I don't have to go through Insert-Line-Custom-Double
Line Style each time

Record a macro while you create your line.

There are several ways to automate this. Here are two:

1. Create the following 3-line macro and assign it to a toolbar button:

GraphicsLineCreate ()

GraphicsLineStyle (Style: DoubleLine!)

GraphicsLineEnd (State: Save!)

// End of macro

<Boilerplate>
To copy a macro from a newsgroup message or web page, select all text from
beginning to end, and copy it to the Windows clipboard with Ctrl+C or Edit,
Copy.

Next, open a blank document in WordPerfect and click on Tools, Macro, Macro
Toolbar to display the Macro Toolbar -- which, among other things, uses
non-typographical quote marks instead of "curly" quote marks (the latter
won't work in a macro). Position your cursor at the very bottom of the page,
after all codes, and click on Edit, Paste Special, Unformatted Text to paste
the macro code into the WP document.

Be sure to check for long lines that may have been wrapped into two or more
lines with a hard return (HRt) between them; remove the hard return(s) to
"glue" the lines back together.

Save the macro with the Save & Compile button on the Macro Toolbar. This
will save it to your default macros folder.

To assign it to a button, see

2. Once you create the line, open Reveal Codes and carefully select just the
[Graph Line] code. While selected, do Tools, QuickWords, give the QW
abbreviation a name (e.g., \DL), then click Add Entry. Be sure "Expand ..."
at the bottom is enabled. Then, when you need the double line, just type the
QW abbreviation.

BTW, the double line might be considered "boilerplate," since you want to
use it over and over.
