WordPerfect and Word Macro Vault

Welcome to the Vault. Note: Unless specified otherwise, the files in The Vault are distributed on a freeware basis. Support is not provided, and the files are offered "as-is," with no warranty.

Most of the files are in ZIP archive format, and therefore require an unzip utility. A few of the files are self-extracting EXE files. For self-extracting archives, after downloading, type the filename at the command prompt, and the files contained within the archive are expanded for you. (Yes, these are very old files, from the DOS days. If you don't know how to run a DOS prompt from your Windows machine, you probably don't need these files to begin with!)
