As mentioned in Ortwin's link, the Widget and the WPro area are separate. Another alternative would be to put the Widget in a floating window OPEN WINDOW and DIALOG(*). Most parts of the Widget worked when I tested that (I think I had to use the variable name), but there were problems with

John: "Pro looks to be a good upgrade, but I hate the fact that it comes without a typical word processor user interface built in. I just don’t have time to create the interface." I'm glad that tables are in this new version as well as the native ability to "keep (paragraphs) with next" but it's

Don, I feel your pain. They took our old clunker and are giving us a collection of amazing car parts (plus instructions). Here is one approach to giving the user a clue via "menus": http://cdinc.co/Updates/SimpleWP.zip. It requires v16R3, which introduced some WPro standard actions.
