May we remind you to return the registration card. This will enable you to take advantage of Gold Disk's Technical Support services. Release 1.1 of Professional Page incorporates several new features which are explained in the enclosed Supplement to the manual. In addition the following features were added after printing the Supplement: 1) Some of the default parameters of the program can now be set on boot-up by setting the TOOLTYPES of the Ppage WorkBench icon. To change these settings single click on the PPage icon and select 'Info' from the 'Workbench' menu. You may add items to the TOOLTYPES by clicking on the 'ADD' button and typing one of the commands listed below into the TOOLTYPES string gadget. The supported options are: a) Screen Type: SCREEN=WORKBENCH - Opens Professional Page on the Workbench Screen. Since the Workbench Screen allows only 4 colors Professional Page will operate in it's Black and White mode. SCREEN=CUSTOM - Opens Professional Page in it's own Screen. On it's own screen Professional Page can be run in Black and White or Color mode by entering one of the following options: COLORMODE=COLOR COLORMODE=BW In addition you may chose to operate Professional Page in either interlaced (400 vertical lines of resolution) or non-interlaced (200 lines) mode by entering one of the following options: INTERLACE=ON INTERLACE=OFF b) Measurement Units: You may change the internal measurement units used by Professional Page by entering one of the following options: UNITS=INCH UNITS=CM UNITS=PICA c) Default Page Format: The Default Page format may be set by choosing one of the following options: DEFAULTPAGE=STANDARD DEFAULTPAGE=LEGAL DEFAULTPAGE=A3 DEFAULTPAGE=A4 DEFAULTPAGE=A5 DEFAULTPAGE=B5 d) Hyphenation Language: You may change the algorithm used to perform hyphenation on Professional Page text to correspond to one of the following languages: LANGUAGE=ENGLISH LANGUAGE=FRENCH LANGUAGE=SPANISH When you run Professional Page from the Workbench by clicking on its icon it will now start with the default options you have chosen in the TOOLTYPES. If you omit any of these TOOLTYPES the default settings are: SCREEN=CUSTOM INTERLACE=ON COLORMODE=COLOR UNITS=INCH DEFAULTPAGE=STANDARD LANGUAGE=ENGLISH Be sure to to click on the 'SAVE' button to save these settings once you are satisfied with them. 2) If you prefer to start Professional Page from the CLI you may run it on the Workbench Screen by typing: run PPage:PPage -w [docname] When Professional Page is run on the Workbench screen it will open a Window to the full size of the Workbench screen. If you have set the Workbench to operate in the INTERLACE mode (through Preferences), Professional Page will also operate in interlace mode. Professional Page will therefore automatically support any future enhancements to the Amiga video hardware and software such as full page monitors. The Professional Page Workbench window is fully sizeable, however if you make it too small some of the gadgets along the right hand side may not be visible. The program is still fully functional and you may regain use of the invisible gadgets by making the window taller. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to contact us by mail or telephone.
