WordPerfect

  • When you run a macro that both performs a merge and saves a file, the file is saved with the filename specified in the macro and the file extension remains as is (X6 behavior has been restored.)

  • WordPerfect no longer displays an error message when you right-click a hyperlink to a nonexistent file on your computer, and click Open Hyperlink.
  • WordPerfect now accounts for non-printable area differences when the page size and orientation change for some printers that have non-uniform values. Switching printers now correctly updates the non-printable area values for the selected printer when formatting a document or an envelope.

  • WordPerfect no longer stops responding when you use the Find and Replace dialog box to access previously entered search items that contain extended characters.
  • WordPerfect now lets you copy text from the dictionary definition area (Tools > Dictionary.)

  • WordPerfect no longer stops responding when you run macros that contain the PerfectScript OutlineBarSetup() command.
  • If you switch from a multi-monitor display to a single-display setup, Address book will always launch on the active screen.

  • Clicking Do Simple Math or Quick Math in the PerfectExpert tutor window no longer displays an error message about a missing file.
  • When you drag particular Quattro Pro menu commands to a custom toolbar, button icons are displayed correctly on that toolbar.
  • Adding toolbar buttons that play macros will correctly display the icons as in Quattro Pro X6.
  • @SHEETS function correctly returns the number of worksheets from a multi-sheet/column/row range reference.
  • When you apply a date numeric format to a cell and then you enter today's date (Insert > Date), the date numeric format is preserved.
  • The parse settings that you choose in the QuickColumns Expert (QuickColumns Expert > Settings) are now preserved as the "Custom" configuration in the dropdown list and will not revert to the default if you make a different range selection.
