johnliddle 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Greetings all, I am using 6.09. I was disappointed to find that when I create a text macro with a leading space, it is saved without that leading space. Is this intentional and if so why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Text macros are stored in the app.ini. [textmacro] SHIFT+F2=had been married n years Spaces around the "=" are ignored when the data for the variable is read so that leading spaces for the macro aren't possible. variable=data SHIFT+F2=had been married n years is treated the same as: SHIFT+F2 = had been married n years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
