     WPTools Version 1.61, Date 6/16/1996

>> This is the SHAREWARE VERSION,                  <<
>> Program will only run while Delphi is open, too <<

WPRichText now provides fast procedures to add Text.
It makes fast mailmerge possible and can work with
tables. There is an example to show how to use
mailmerge. Mailmerging is even possible with MEMO
fields: Carriage Returns are translated into NewLines.
The rsult is, that the whole memo will be in one paragraph.

To install WPTools please
copy all files in the vcl directory to your VCL directory
and install WPTools.PAS as a new delphi libary.
Please copy the helpfile and the KWF File to the delphi
help directory and install the KWF File with HelpInst.Exe

> If you use another database than the BDE, than you may
  ask me for the source code of the unit DBWPRich to
  be able to test the DBWPRichText component.<

Enjoy!

PS.: If you used Version 1.1 / 1.0 before, please
search for 'Data Structures' in the helpfile.
Version 1.5 introduces a new way to access the paragraph
and line data. You may access the paragraphs with
>> WPRichText1.Memo.FirstPar << instead of using the
WordBlock record. (WPRichText.WText.active^.p)

PPS.: If you used Version 1.5x before you will find
out, that mailmerge is now much easier. You don't need
the finder any more for mailmerge. You can put a
InsertPoint into the Text (InputInsertPoint) and provide
an event handler for exchanging the text. The text which
was inserted by mailmerge will be automatically overwritten.

There are now some 'Fast' procedures to add text without reformatting
it at once. Using them can make the program 10-50 times faster.
But dont forget to call Refresh when ready. Dont call any
WPRichText procedure until not ready. Be careful with
'Application.ProcessMessages'.
