Bug fixes

March 11, 2010       Version 6.8.4J             Microsoft Word Macro Support

1. Microsoft Word Macro Support
This feature allows one to automate Word macros right before displaying the document.  One must use WordStyle = 2 to access this feature.  This feature contains a lot of power in that all the Word macros are available to automate right before A1-Law displays the Word document.  For example, one may automate the "File, Insert" command and insert a file that contains letterhead.  When doing this, one should strongly consider putting the command in a separate master merge file so that the path and filename of the letterhead only needs to be typed on time in a second master merge file.  The A1-Law letters would have two merge commands where one pulls the main merge commands such as those in 10626 as well as the new master merge file which should have a number less than 10,000.  An example of commands using macros might be as follows (please note - all your macro commands must be placed in between the WordMacroBegin and WordMacroEnd):

{WORDMACROBEGIN
loWord.Selection.InsertFile("Z:\A1Law\Word\MyLetterHead.doc")
WORDMACROEND}

2.  The A1-Law Task Manager (Control-Zero) now has a "hard quit" button when ending the task and the quit option on the task manager menu fails.
