LABELS - PRINTING ONE SHEET OF MULTIPLE LABELS
--------------------------------------------------
Many customers try to print one sheet of multiple labels and find that only
one label is actually printed.  For example, a customer with a Labels Paper
Size/Type of 3 columns by 10 rows might try to print one sheet of 30 labels by
pressing Print (Shift-F7), Page (2).  Because WP considers each label as a
separate page, only one label is printed on the page. To print all 30 labels,
the customer must press Print (Shift-F7), Document (1); or press Print
(Shift-F7), Multiple Pages (5), and type 1-30, or -30 (for the number of
"pages" or labels desired).  If the customer has more than 30 labels in the
document and only wanted to print one sheet (or 30) of the labels, the
customer would need to use the Multiple Pages option.

LABELS SETUP
--------------------------------------------------
Many customers call confused about how to set up labels in 5.1.  Some
customers have trouble with their labels because they input the wrong label
size.  Other customers don't know what to do when they receive error messages
that say the label margins are increased or the labels won't fit.  Still other
customers aren't even aware that there is a format labels screen which can be
accessed when editing a Paper Size/Type code.

In the 05/31/91 interim release of WP, a new LABELS.WPM macro was included
with the program.  This macro was enhanced to include more label sizes and
should make adding and deleting label definitions easier.  The macro also
displays a list of label sizes and stock numbers.  To run the macro,  press
Alt-F10 and type labels.  In addition to the LABELS.WPM macro, the Format Page
menu (Shift-F8, P) has been enhanced to include a labels Paper Size/Type if
one has been selected.

MACROS - USING ARROW KEYS, NOT NAME SEARCH
--------------------------------------------------
Many customers creating macros use arrow keys to select an item from a menu
rather than the Name Search option. (The Name Search option can be used in
menus such as List Files, Paper Size/Type, Additional Printers, Base Fonts,
Styles, and Macro Commands).  Macros which use arrow keys to highlight and
select will operate successfully unless the menu is changed.  Menu additions
or deletions may cause the macro to select the wrong item and may cause the
macro to crash or function incorrectly.  For example, a customer may create a
macro which selects Courier 12 which is the fourth font on the Base Font menu
by using arrow keys to highlight the font.  If, however, CG Times fonts are
later added to the menu and Courier 12 becomes the eighth font, the macro will
still select whatever font is fourth on the menu.  To avoid this problem, the
Name Search option should be used and the full font name, Courier 12cpi
(Italic), should be searched for; otherwise, Courier 12cpi or Courier 12cpi
(Bold) may be incorrectly selected.

MERGE - CUSTOMERS NEED HELP CREATING FILES
--------------------------------------------------
Many customers lack a basic understanding of how to create primary and
secondary merge files.  For example, some customers do not understand which
codes belong in which file; other customers do not know the necessary
keystrokes needed to put merge codes in their document; still others do not
understand when they would use a particular code, e.g., {NEXT RECORD}. 
Currently, operators can refer customers to the manual or workbook lessons
which explain merge fundamentals and the concepts of working with two merge
files, but often operators must teach customers how to create the merge files.

MERGE - CUSTOMERS NEED HELP CREATING FILL-IN FORMS
--------------------------------------------------
Many customers request help creating fill-in forms.  Some customers use the
Forms Fill-In lesson (Lesson 30) in the workbook; however, the lesson uses
Advance and Comment codes to create the fill-in forms.  Some customers find it
difficult to accurately position the cursor for information input when Advance
codes are used.  One work-around to this problem is to educate the customers
about the {KEYBOARD}, {INPUT}, and ^C (WP 5.0) codes and about the concept of
keyboard merges.

MERGE - DISPLAY OF {TEXT} AND {INPUT} MESSAGES
--------------------------------------------------
Many customers are confused by the display of the {TEXT} or {INPUT} messages
when performing a keyboard merge.  During a merge, WP currently displays all
{INPUT} or {TEXT} commands and their corresponding messages within the body of
the document.  The customer may choose not to display the Merge command by
pressing Setup (Shift-F1), Display (2), Edit-Screen Options (6), Merge Code
Display (5), and No; however, the customer cannot choose to hide the message
which accompanies the command.  Before the 12/31/90 release of WP5.1, WP did
not display Merge command messages when performing a keyboard merge.  Many
customers want the option to choose between the past and present displays.
