For those of you who use WP (I'm using X3 currently), here is a way to run your macros using a word trigger with ActiveWords.

First, make note of where you save your WP macro files (.wcm extension). WP13 strangely locates them in the WPWin folder located in [YOUR DRIVE LETTER]:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office X3\Languages\EN\Macros\WPWin

(Personally, I am still using my custom WP11 macro folder as my default macro folder instead of copying them all to the convoluted pathway.)

Next, by utilizing WP's QuickFinder, you can open the folder, choose Print File List, then choose "Send to WordPad," and it will paste the file information into a Rich Text Format (.rtf) document. You can't copy by columns here, so I copy the info and paste it into Excel.

In Excel, delete all other columns but A. Next, either insert a column before Column A or Cut&Paste Column A contents into Column B.

Next, copy the file pathway of your macros from the Windows Explorer address bar (not Internet Explorer) and paste it into the now-empty Column A in Excel. For example, E:\Program Files\WordPerfect Office X3\Languages\EN\Macros\WPWin (Of course, E being whatever Drive YOU installed WP into).

Highlight the first cell in Column A and then do the drag-down thing to copy this info as far down as you have macro files in Column B. With me so far?

Now copy Columns A-B and paste this info into a new WP document.
Next, Search for [LeftTab] and Replace with a space.
Now Search [Hrt] and Replace with "[Hrt] You will have to manually adjust the first line and perhaps the last line to make sure each line begins and ends with double quotes (").
Save this temporary file as anything. You will be working from it by cutting (or copying) and pasting into ActiveWords.

Cut or copy the first line using Shift+End (you do not want to include the HardReturn by using Shift+Down-arrow key).

Here are the steps to have AW launch your WP macro(s):

1. Click on the Add button in the ActiveWords monitor bar.
2. In the ActiveWords Add Wizard dialog, choose the Launch action, then choose Next. (Or you can use whatever shortcut you've made to get there.)
3. In the Add New ActiveWord Wizard - Command dialog, paste the first line of your file path/file name.
Now insert your description, maybe something like Account Name - Dr. Name - Macro description (e.g., GH - Smith - Colonoscopy). Click Next.
4. Name the trigger word that AW will use to run your macro (e.g., smithcolon). Check Alt+d as you will probably be adding several at a time. Simply cut and paste each macro file into the Command dialog and off you go.

With the above method, your macro plays right from the source, so to speak. This allows your macro to run more quickly than scripting AW to maneuver to your WP menu and navigate to the macro of choice with the Up/Down/Right/Left arrows. Because you invoke your macro directly, you won't lose its functionality even if you move or delete macros from your customized WP Menu (I'm not talking about deleting from the File Directory here; that's a different matter).

Unlike if you script to navigate the WP Menu with arrows and then move your macros from their current WP Menu placement. In the latter case, your AW trigger will not play the macro you expect but whatever .wcm file is now located in that place. Yikes! See the difference?

I'm only on Day 3 of my AW trial, but its potential is really incredible!

P.S. Don't forget to backup your wordbase afterward!!

I forgot to mention that this is super for normals or docs with templates, whether it's a sentence, paragraph or whole report!
