O.T.T Presents Wordworth 3.0 Plus What's New in 3.1 Typed and Edited By DIT ·PART THREE· APPENDIX C-PICTURES AND CLIP ART DIGITA SCALABLE CLIP ART COLLECTION Scalable clip art is like a scalable font, it can be scaled to any size and retains its perfect quality. When printing, because of its scalability, the quality will be perfect and just as good as your scalable outline fonts. Digita Scalable Clip Art is an excellent compliment to your Compugraphic font collection. Wordworth 2 Upgraders: If you already use previous Digita clip art, it's still Worth upgrading your collection to these new scalable versions.

These tips may help you: step 1 Draw or fill around the image with colour 0. step 2 Select colour 0 using the Right Mouse key. step 3 Cut out the image and If you are unsure about drawing, the instruction book supplied with your paint package. When you place a picture in a Wordworth document in the "Picture Information" requester, select the "Colour 0 Transparent" checkbox and Flow to "Contour Left" or "Contour Right". (You can choose the "Picture Information" requester by double-clicking the picture.) PRINTING PICTURES WITH WORDWORTH Wordworth provides excellent support for pictures, allowing you to place them anywhere in a document, then re-size, arrange text to flow around the picture, adjust their colours, and mix them with many styles and sizes of font. However, although documents containing pictures usually look great on-screen, when printing the quality can vary enormously. So, how do you achieve the best results? BLACK AND WHITE PRINTERS Black and white printers are the most common, so we'll start with them. Wordworth lets you print in two ways, either solid black and white, or grey scaling. (These options are available using the "Print Setup" command, Project menu.) BLACK AND WHITE This option prints solid areas of black or white. Pictures containing various shades of greys or colours are printed all the light shades in white and the darker shades in black. You can change the threshold where light colours become white and dark colours become black, from the Amiga Preferences program, PrinterGFX. Page 265 The Threshold can be set from 1 to 15. The lower its value, the more colours will be printed as white, the higher the value, the more colours will be printed as black. It is usually set at about 7 or 8. GREY SCALE Black and white printers can only print dots in black ink they can't actually print 'greys'. Grey scale printing is achieved by using small patterns of black dots and white space to produce an illusion of a grey scale. The more black dots in the pattern, the darker the grey appears. When printing in grey scales the pictures have their colours reproduced in grey, which corresponds to the brightness of the colour. So, with Wordworth, the choice between printing using "Black And White","Grey 1", or "Grey 2" depends on the type of pictures you have in your document (select from Print command, Project menu). Most clip art, like the Wordworth Clip Art Volume One, is drawn in just 2 colours (that is, black on white), and should be printed using "Black And White". Other graphics which use many colours or grey shades (like the Wordworth Clip Art Volume Two), should be printed using "Grey 1" or "Grey 2". However, you may wish to experiment printing using "Black And White". It's worth remembering that "Black and White" printing is faster since the Amiga doesn't have to calculate the grey patterns (called 'dithers' or 'halftones'). You can select the level of shading, (that is, "Grey 1",or "Grey 2"). It is usually best to use "Grey 1", as "Grey 2" is a special type of grey scaling designed for use when printing documents that have been designed using a Commodore A2024 monochrome monitor. DENSITY How do you alter the quality of the printouts? Can they be made darker? And, is there any way of improving the resolution, to avoid jagged edges on pictures? The density of the dots used to print "Black And White", "Grey 1" or "Grey 2" can be adjusted by using the Density slider gadget on the "Print Setup" requester ("Print Setup" command, Project menu). Page 266 The Density may be set from 1 to 7, which corresponds to the lowest resolution Of your printer (for example, 120 dots per inch horizontally by 72 dots per inch vertically), up to the highest resolution (for example, 300dpi by 300dpi). Using a higher density setting will generally produce higher quality printouts, particularly with grey scale printing, but there are restrictions. On most dot matrix printers, high density printing is achieved by passing the print head mechanism across the page several times, at slightly different positions. For example, on a 9 pin printer, the 216dpi resolution is achieved by first printing a line of dots at 72dpi, then moving the print head down slightly, printing another line of dots at 72dpi over the first line, then repeating the procedure a third time, giving a 'simulated' resolution of 216 dots per inch (this process is called 'multi-pass' printing). However, because of the size of the pins of the printer, the real resolution is less than this, and many of the dots tend to overlap. Printing on dot matrix printers at high resolutions can produce darker or 'muddier' results. In contrast, printouts at Density 1 can often look too light. However, because of the size of the pins of the printer, the real resolution is less than this, and many of the dots tend to overlap. Printing on dot matrix printers at high resolutions can produce darker or 'muddier' results. In contrast, printouts at Density 1 can often look too light. The best way around this problem is to experiment with the Density settings to find the highest density which prints, without looking too dark. Better printers, like laser printers, do not require multi-pass printing to produce high density, so you can use the highest density setting without any degradation in quality. The only drawback is that high density printing takes longer. AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR Because of the way that colour is produced, the quality is rarely as good as equivalent black and white printers and the cost is usually higher. First, when placing pictures in your document, try to avoid pictures which use very dark colours, particularly black and dark blue, as these will quickly wear out the black ink in your printer (black is the most used of the 4 primary inks in colour printers, the other colours are Magenta, Cyan and Yellow). Page 267 When printing, use the Print command to set Shade to Colour and set Density to a low value from the "Print Setup" command. Although setting the Density higher should produce higher resolution printouts, on most colour dot matrix printers, which use multi-pass printing at higher density, it simply makes the printouts much darker and muddier. It can also make the colour ribbon dirty by getting black print onto the yellow ribbon area. A Density of 1 or 2 is best. BETTER QUALITY BITMAP PRINTING The best way to print a picture, avoiding the "jaggies" is to create the picture in your paint package four or five times bigger than you want to print it. When placing the picture into your Wordworth document, you should create a "Picture Frame" using the "Picture Frame" object ("Create Object" command, Object menu) and then choose "Place Picture" to place the picture inside the frame. Wordworth will shrink the picture to the size of the frame which can be moved and sized like any other object. When printing Wordworth will (like scalable fonts) scale the picture up four times bigger to match the printer's resolution and as the picture's original size is that big, the printout will be perfect. DIGITA PRINT MANAGER To get the best performance from your printer, and if you have a hard disk drive, be sure to install Digita Print Manager (this may already be intruded with your Amiga computer). Digita Print Manager provides the very latest printer driver technology to fully support and utilise your printer's capabilities. Contact Digita for further details if this useful program is not already included with your Amiga. Page 268 APPENDIX D - FONTS SCALABLE FONTS Agfa Compugraphic, PostScript and TrueType fonts use mathematical descriptions of the outlines of each character in a font (lines and curves) to generate the font in any point size. As you request a size and start typing, the font is generated in real- time. Therefore, a scalable font is stored as a file containing this description, rather than a separate file for each point size of the font. These fonts are listed in the Font requester (Font command, Format menu). As you type, a bit-mapped screen font is generated in real-time for the desired size. You can choose any size by typing the new value in the Size box. When the font appears, you will notice that no matter what size you choose, there are no jagged edges. You set the type of font which appears in the Font requester using the "Text Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu). INSTALLING ADDITIONAL AGFA COMPUGRAPHIC FONTS Wordworth will work with any Agfa Compugraphic or 100% compatible font. This may include Workbench 2 / 3 fonts, George Thompson fonts, public domain fonts and font libraries from Gold Disk Inc. Agfa font packs are available direct from Digita. IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAIS Agfa fonts: All FAIS Agfa fonts will probably be in PC format and will therefore require an MSDOS convertor, such as CrossDos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can either install additional fonts for use with Wordworth or tell Wordworth to share the fonts already installed by ProPage, Workbench or any other program. To install new fonts onto your hard disk, you must first copy the appropriate font files (.type, .lib or .typ) into the Intellifont drawer, which is situated in the WwFonts drawer on your hard disk, and then run the lnstallOutlines program, with no tooltype set, from the WwTools drawer. To share fonts with programs like ProPage, you will need to select the lnstallOutlines program, choose Information (Workbench-Icons menu) and alter the FONTPATH= tooltype to point to the location of the fonts. Double-click the InstallOutlines program to install the fonts in the destination specified by the tooltype for use with Wordworth 3. Page 269 On floppy disk, you will need to either copy the appropriate font files into the Intellifont drawer on the WW3Outlines disk, change the FONTPATH tooltype on the InstallOutlines program (WwTools drawer, Ww3Extras disk) to FONTPAPTH=WW3Outlines; Intellifont, press the Return key and click Save. Double-click the icon to install the fonts Alternatively, if you have a disk full of public domain fonts that you wish to use with Wordworth 3, change the tooltype on the InstallOutlines program to point to this disk and then double-click the icon (for example, a disk called AgfaFonts1 with some fonts in a drawer, Intellifont on the disk, will need a tooltype FONTPATH=AgfaFonts1: Intellifont). The fonts and their location will be installed for use with Wordworth. INSTALLING ADDITIONAL POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 FONTS You can either install additional fonts for use with Wordworth or tell Wordworth to share the fonts already installed by ProPage or any other program. To install new fonts onto your hard disk, you must first copy the appropriate font files (.pfb) into the PostScript drawer, which is situated in the WwFonts drawer on your hard disk, and then run the InstallOutlines program from the WwTools drawer_ To share fonts with programs like ProPage, you will need to select the lnstallOutlines program, choose Information (Workbench-Icons menu) and alter the FONTPATH=tooltype to point to the location of the fonts_ Double- click the lnstallOutlines program to install the fonts in the destination specified by the tooltype for use with Wordworth 3. On floppy disk you will need to either copy the appropriate font files into the PostScript drawer on the Ww3Outlines disk, change the FONTPATH tooltype on the lnstallOutlines program WwTools drawer, Ww3Extras disk) to FONTPATH=Ww3Outlines: PostScript, press the Return key and click Save. Double-click the icon to install the fonts. Alternatively, if you have a disk full of public domain fonts that you wish to use with Wordworth 3, change the tooltype on the InstallOutlines program to point to this disk and then double-click the icon (for example, a disk called Postfonts will need a tooltype FONTPATH=Postfonts;). The fonts and their location will be installed for use with Wordworth. Page 270 INSTALLING ADDITIONAL TRUETYPE FONTS You can either install additional fonts for use with Wordworth or tell Wordworth to Share the fonts already installed by any other program. To install new fonts onto your hard disk, you must first copy the appropriate font files (.ttf) into the TrueType drawer, which is situated in the WwFonts drawer on your hard disk, and then run the InstallOutlines program from the WwTools drawer. To share fonts with other programs, you will need to select the InstallOutlines program, choose information (Workbench-Icons menu) and alter the FONTPATH=tooltype to point to the location of the fonts. Double- click the InstallOutlines program to install the fonts in the destination specified by the tooltype for use with Wordworth 3. On floppy disk, you will need to either copy the appropriate font files into the TrueType drawer on the Ww3Outlines disk, change the FONTPATH=tooltype on the lnstallOutlines program (WwTools drawer, Ww3Extras disk) to FONTPATH=Ww3Outlines: TrueType, press the Return key and click Save. Double-click the icon to install the fonts. Alternatively, if you have a disk full of public domain fonts that you wish to use with Wordworth 3, change the tooltype on the lnstallOutlines program to point to this disk and then double-click the icon (for example, a disk called Truetypefonts will need a tooltype FONTPATH=Truetypefonts:). The fonts and their location will be installed for use with Wordworth. BITMAP FONTS Amiga fonts are 'bit-mapped'. This means that they are constructed from a pattern of dots which are stored in the computer as Binary Digits (BITS). This pattern of dots is referred to as a 'map' of 'bits', hence the term 'bit-mapped'. Each size of a bit-mapped Amiga font is stored on disk in a separate file. A font may have been pre-drawn in 3 sizes, for example, 8, 16, 32 points. To use sizes (other than those which have been pre-drawn), the computer has to 'scale' one of the bit-maps, and create a bit-mapped version of the size you want. This scaling process tends to produce jagged-looking fonts when they are increased in size. This explains why Amiga fonts can produce rather poor quality printouts-although they look good on-screen, when printing, they are scaled to the dot resolution of the printer. Page 271 COLOUR FONTS ColorFonts are a variation on standard bitmap fonts. Normal bitmap fonts are designed in one colour. Wordworth lets you type standard bitmap fonts in a variety of colours (by choosing the desired pen colour from the Font requester), but each letter of the font is composed of one solid colour. ColorFonts may contain a character composed of up to 16 colours. ColorFonts are listed in the Font requester in the same way as bitmap fonts (provided the "Bitmap Fonts" check box is selected from the "Next Settings' requester). Unless you have a screen mode that is capable of displaying more than 16 colours, the font will not appear on-screen in the colours it will use when printing. This is because ColorFonts cannot be re-mapped to the available colours easily. ColorFonts are still bit-mapped, just like bitmap fonts, and are therefore subject to the same scaling limitations and ragged edges when printing. PRINTER FONTS Using the internal fonts of your printer is much faster and can produce print of a high quality, albeit with less variation in font range and size. Most modern printers come supplied with a range of fonts built-in. These fonts usually print out at the printer's highest resolution, The Wordworth printer installation lets you install a printer driver and special 'printer font' files for your printer. These files tell Wordworth how to use the internal printer fonts in your printer. To print a document using internal printer fonts, use the "Print Method- Printer Font' on the "Print Setup" requester (Project menu). The Font requester (when the "Print Method"-"Printer Font" button is selected), lists the names of the fonts, which are prefixed by the letters WW followed by name of your printer, For example, the internal fonts for the Panasonic KXP2180 printer are listed as: WW KX-P2180_ Bold, WW KX- P2180_Courier_Prop, and so on. The fonts can be selected just like bitmap fonts, and text typed on- screen using them. Wordworth uses the default outline font to depict the printer font. Therefore, the font may look a little different on paper, but the alignment of the on-screen text will be correct. Different fonts and sizes can be mixed on the same page, even on the same line. When using internal printer fonts, we recommended that you keep to 6 lpi or 8 lpi line spacing (Paragraph command, Format menu). Page 272 AGFA COMPUGRAPHIC FONT COLLECTION Although Wordworth is easily capable of producing posters, invitations, newsletters and presentations, to do this effectively, you'll probably need extra fonts. There are many low-cost clone fonts available but they simply don't match the quality of genuine, more expensive Agfa Compugraphic fonts. And So, from the massive Agfa font library, we have individually selected a range of fonts for their quality and suitability with Wordworth (the following pages illustrate each collection). We have exclusively negotiated this special arrangement with Agfa to bring you the best quality and best value.

The language is specially designed to describe printed pages comprising text and graphics. It is used by applications, such as Wordworth, to produce a description of a printed document, which is then sent to a 'PostScript compatible' printer using the PostScript language to produce the printout. PostScript describes the printed page in terms of lines, curves and shapes, in a similar way to the Agfa Compugraphic fonts. This means that the page is drawn at the printer's highest resolution, with no ragged edges on scaled fonts. PostScript fonts are similar to Agfa Compugraphic fonts, but they use the PostScript language to describe the shapes of their characters. Agfa Compugraphic fonts are generated by the computer and translated into bit-mapped graphics, which are then sent to the printer. Sending this amount of information is slow, particularly when printing at high resolution. With PostScript, only the description of the page (lines, curves, names and sizes of desired fonts) is sent to the printer. The printer then takes the time to generate the bit-map which it prints, thus the computer is free to carry on with other task. The second advantage of PostScript is its complete flexibility. Owing to its dependence on just a description of the page (in terms of simple programming commands), PostScript can be instructed to perform very fancy effects, such as rotating or stretching text. Such effects are produced by the PostScript printer, removing the burden from the application. Most expensive laser printers and typesetting machines use PostScript and generally include a built-in set of 35 standard PostScript fonts. Wordworth provides full support for printing to PostScript printers and allows you to use all 35 fonts. SETUP When a PostScript printer is selected for installation, then 'screen fonts' will also be installed (on your hard disk) for the standard PostScript fonts. (Floppy disk users do not have enough room on their disks to install the relevant screen fonts) and therefore cannot use PostScript. Page 279 These fonts are simply Amiga bit-mapped fonts in various sizes, which correspond in design to the 35 PostScript fonts used in PostScript printers. Special 'printer font' files are also installed which describe the exact widths of the characters in the fonts so that Wordworth can align the text Correctly on screen. IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you can use the PostScript fonts you must set the "Print Method" ("Print Setup", Project menu) to PostScript. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From within Wordworth, the PostScript fonts can be selected using the Font requester. They are prefixed with 'WW_PS_'. They include WW_PS_Times, WW_PS_Helvetica, WW_PS_Palatino, WW_PS_ZapfDingbats and so on. PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT From the "Print Setup" requester click PostScript on the bottom of the requester. DESTINATION Select the Printer radio button to print the document. You can also send the document to disk by selecting the File radio button and type the path and file name into the Filename text gadget, the destination can also be set using the file requester by clicking the Select button. This option is particularly useful if you wish to print your document using the facilities of a typesetting bureau. OPTIONS Download Fonts: Informs Wordworth to send all the PostScript fonts in your document to the printer before printing. This is used when the document contains fonts which are not internal to the printer. Only PostScript Type 1 fonts can be downloaded to a printer and therefore, if you wish to use any of your Agfa Compugraphic fonts in a document, you will have to convert them to PostScript format before editing. If a font has not been downloaded and is not one of the inbuilt fonts it will be printed in Courier. Page 280 The "Download Fonts" options are as follows: "Once Only" Any new fonts are downloaded to the printer once only. If the printer is turned off, you will need to re-download the fonts using the "Every Time" option, "Every Time" All fonts are downloaded to the printer every time the document is printed. "Never" Fonts are never downloaded. If a font is not internal, and it has not been previously downloaded, the text will be printed in Courier. Landscape documents can be printed easily by using the Rotate and Offset options: * Choose Document (Format menu) and swap the values for Height and Width. * From the "PostScript Setup" requester, set Rotate to 90, and "Horizontal Offset' to 11.713 in. * Choose Print, and your document will appear in landscape. Scaling: To enlarge or reduce the size of the page, type a scaling percentage for the width and height. For example, typing 50 for horizontal and vertical scaling will print the page at 25% of its normal size. Rotate By: Type an angle by which you wish to rotate the page The rotation is in degrees anti-clockwise around the origin, which is at the bottom left corner of the page. Page 281 Figure E-1 'PostScript Printer Setup' requester Offset: Offsets the page from the top corner of the page. The horizontal and vertical offsets should be typed using the current measurement units (usually inches). Send EOF Character: Some PostScript printers require a special character at the end of a file. If you experience an EOF error while printing, select this check box to solve the problem. IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any font not supported by your printer will be printed in a Courier font. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 282 APPENDIX F-ADVANCED FEATURES DRAG AND DROP TEXT EDITING Drag and Drop editing is the easiest way to move or copy a selection of text in one operation. To move text using Drag and Drop editing: * Select the text you wish to move. * Point to the selected text and then hold down the election button. When the Drag and Drop pointer appears (a pointer with a grey box beneath it), drag the dotted insertion point that appears in the text, to the new location. * Release the Selection button to drop the text in place. To copy text using Drag and Drop editing: * Select the text you wish to copy * Point to the selected text, hold down the Selection button and depress the Ctrl key. When the Drag and Drop pointer appears (a pointer with a grey box beneath it and a plus sign in the corner), drag the dotted insertion point that appears in the text, to the new location. * Release the Selection button to drop the text in place. Drag and Drop can be turned on and off from "Text Settings" ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu). Drag and Drop usually works best if you set the Workbench Input preferences to use a smaller "Double-click Delay". Unfortunately, you cannot Drag and Drop text between table cells. Page 283 ADVANCED MAIL MERGING There are several selective commands which you can use while mail merging. «:NEXT» This skips on to the next record in the files. It is useful when printing labels, as you can have a page with several records, for example: «Name» «Address» «Postcode» «:NEXT» «Name» «Address» «Postcode » Note that the «:NEXT» command is preceded by a colon to distinguish it from a normal field name. «:SKIP» And «ENDSKIP» These two commands precede and follow a group of field names where you want empty fields to pick up the data from the following field. This is useful for addresses where some fields in the address may be empty and you would want all the filled fields to be grouped together rather than having gaps left. For example: If using fields NAME, STREET, STREET2, TOWN, COUNTY, POSTCODE. You could find: Mr Brown¶ 2 Elms Street¶ ¶ Launceston¶ Cornwall¶ PL10 8JY¶ Mr Brown's record didn't contain and data in STREET2. Page 284 To avoid this you would enter the following in your merge letter: «:SKIP»«Name» «Street» «Street2» «Town » «County» «Postcode»«:ENDSKIP» For the example record, this would cause the contents of TOWN to be inserted where STREET2 should be, COUNTY to be inserted where TOWN should be and POSTCODE to be inserted where COUNTY should be with the blank space being left at the end of the group where POSTCODE would normally be. The Endskip command prevents the data from any other field references in the letter, after the group, being inserted in the POSTCODE position. The result for this example would be: Mr Brown¶ 2 Elms Street¶ Launceston¶ Cornwall¶ PL10 8JL¶ «:IF "FIELD" = "value" NEXT» And «:IF "FIELD" = "value" STOP» These two commands allow conditional checks of the data in fields to allow the printing of only selected records. The first command will skip to the next record if the field contents match the value. The second command will stop the printing of the document if the field matches the value. In place of the '=' comparison you can also use any of the following: <=- (or-<) - Less than or equal to >= (or =>) - Greater than or equal to <> - Does not equal to < - Less than > - Greater than Page 285 The comparisons are made between the text in FIELD and the text in VALUE. Numerical Comparisons are not supported, only alphanumeric. FIELD and value must be surrounded by quotes. For example, to print a document to all the people living in towns whose names start with the letters D to G: «:if "TOWN" < "d" NEXT» «:if "TOWN" > "G" STOP» To print a letter only to those people living in London: «:IF "TOWN" < "London" NEXT» «:IF "TOWN" > "London" STOP» The use of stop above assumes that the data file is sorted alphabetically. If it isn't, only use the NEXT Command, to skip to the NEXT record. For example: «:IF "TOWN" < > "London" NEXT» Note that the NEXT command in the conditional checks skips to the NEXT record in a similar manner to the «:NEXT» command so that you could use data from a record prior to a conditional check and then use the next record for the rest of the document after the check. Also note that all comparisons are case insensitive. Page 286 APPENDIX G-SHARING WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS SHARING TEXT Wordworth can open and Save documents in a variety of popular text and word processing file formats, including Wordworth, Kindwords3, "ASCII text", RTF (Rich Text Format), WordPerfect 5.1 (MSDOS), Microsoft Word (MSDOS), MS Windows Write, Wordstar and Microsoft Works. Each of these file Formats stores information in different ways. Only the standard Wordworth format is capable of storing all the formatting information used to describe the appearance of a Wordworth document. Saving Wordworth documents in a different document format will lose some of the formatting information. The following lists what information is stored in, or retrieved from, each format. WORDWORTH Opening and saving: ALL text, typefaces, type styles, paragraph formatting, page breaks, page sizes, and graphics. ASCII Opening: All characters are read as text characters. Carriage returns or line feeds are treated as paragraph breaks. Saving: Only text and paragraph break. All typeface, type style, paragraph formatting, graphics, page break and page size information is discarded. RTF (RICH TEXT FORMAT) Opening and saying: Text, typefaces, type style, foreign characters, indents, paragraph alignment information, and page break are maintained. Graphics are discarded. WORDPERFECT 5.1 (MSDOS) Opening and saving: Text and type style only. MS Word (MSDOS) Opening: Text and type style only. Microsoft Works Opening: Text and type style only. Wordstar Opening: Text and type style only. Page 287 MS WINDOWS WRITE Opening: Text, type style, indents, and page breaks are maintained. Typefaces and graphics are discarded. SHARING GRAPHICS BITMAPPED GRAPHICS Wordworth can place bitmap pictures drawn in IFF, TIF, GIF, PCX, BMP, IMG formats as long as the appropriate Filters have been installed. Bitmap graphics are like bitmap fonts and are prone to the same scaling restrictions when printing. This means that your pictures may appear 'jagged' when printed. SCALABLE GRAPHICS Wordworth can place scalable pictures drawn in CGM or GEM formats as long as the appropriate filters have been installed. Scalable clip art is like a scalable font, it can be scaled to any size, and retains its perfect quality. When printing, because of its scalability, the quality will be perfect and just as good as your scalable outline fonts. Page 288 APPENDIX H-MAKING THE MOST OF MEMORY Memory is used by Wordworth for storing the program, its information and the documents created with it. The following explanations should help you understand where memory is used, how much memory various Commands might need, and what to do if the computer runs out of memory. WHAT IS MEMORY? Memory, sometimes referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory) can be thought of in terms of a large box of a certain volume. The more that is put into the box, the less space there is free. When commands are removed from the box, more space is made. Thus, the more programs and information that are stored in a computers memory, the less space is available for storing information. Freeing up information, or quitting a program, will free more space for use by other programs. The amount of memory is measured in bytes. The larger the number the more memory is available. A Kilobyte is 1024 bytes. A Megabyte is 1024 Kilobytes. A Kilobyte is often referred to as a "K" and Megabytes are sometimes called a "Meg." The Amiga's memory comes in two varieties Chip RAM and Fast RAM. Chip RAM is that memory that can be accessed by the Amiga's graphics and sound chips. Since there is usually less Chip RAM than Fast RAM on an Amiga, many programs which use graphics seem to run out of memory, even when there is plenty of Fast RAM free. Information stored in Fast RAM can be accessed or changed faster than Chip RAM, so programs are usually stored in Fast RAM. Wordworth requires at least 1.5 Megabytes of memory to work, of which the program uses about 800K, and the operating system uses about 100K. When a document is opened, memory is required to store information about the window itself; this could be up to 50K for each window, and is stored mainly in Chip RAM Therefore, opening several windows can quickly use up a lot of memory. Wordworth is capable of opening up to eight windows, but this will depend on the amount of available memory. Page 289 When a window is opened, memory is used for storing the actual document text, which is stored in Fast RAM. Although in theory 10000 characters it text takes 1 0000 bytes of memory (10KB), Wordworth will use more. It needs to also store information about the text, such as the formatting of lines, paragraphs and type styles. This explains why trying to open a 50K ASCII text document might require up to 200K of memory. The Wordworth screen also takes up Chip RAM. A higher resolution, or more colours will occupy more memory. Inserting pictures in a document requires a great deal of memory, which will vary depending on the size and number of colours. The amount of available memory can be checked at any time by choosing About (Project menu). If free memory looks low (that is, less than 50000 bytes in total), it is a good idea to save any documents and attempt to maximise any available memory. When available memory is low some commands may become unavailable in which case Wordworth will show the message Out of Memory on the current document's title bar. IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The creation of documents with many different types and sizes of fonts, use large amounts of memory - the larger the font, the more memory is needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 290 MAXIMISING AVAILABLE MEMORY Follow these simple guidelines should experience low memory problems: * Always keep the number of open documents to a minimum. * High resolution screen modes use more memory, choose "Change Settings" (Settings menu), select Screen and click "Screen Mode" to change the screen mode to medium resolution. * Colour uses more memory, choose "Change Settings" (Settings men u), select Screen and click "Screen Mode" to reduce the number of colours. * Quit any other programs running on the Workbench. * Close the Workbench screen (choose "Close Workbench" command from the Settings menu). This will save at least 32k of memory. If memory gets very low, you may need to delete any pictures in the current document. One area that can easily be overlooked is the clipboard. If you have been using the Edit menu commands Cut or Copy, text will be stored on the clipboard. If this text is no longer required for Pasting then clear the clipboard by selecting one character of text, and choose Copy from the Edit menu. Refer to Chapter Nine, "Customising And Optimising Wordworth" for more information on saving memory.

Refer to the General section First and then the specific topic (Installation, Fonts, Printing). GENERAL Q. When I double-click the Wordworth icon it refuses to run and shows a message. A. Wordworth may not run for several reasons. If you have a hard disk, you may not have installed it correctly. Be sure to use the Ww3Install-1 program. Q. Setting a tab on the ruler seems to make the tab disappear at times. A. Be sure to release the select key whilst the mouse is still over the ruler. Dragging the mouse below the ruler and releasing the key will remove the tab. Q. When typing text into gadgets (for example, the "Page width" box), the text seems to be ignored occasionally. A. When text or a number is typed in a box, press the Return key to register the change. Simply editing the box and clicking OK may disregard the change. Q. Keep the mouse pointer off the colour palette and horizontal ruler when using keyboard shortcuts. Q. The paragraph count in Statistics (Tools menu) seems to be more than the number of paragraphs in the document. A. Wordworth counts the number of actual paragraphs used, including those with no text. A paragraph is defined as the text between two return characters. Therefore, if you press the Return key at the end of a paragraph, and then Return again, to add a blank line, Wordworth will count this as two paragraphs. To add space between paragraphs, rather than pressing the Return key a second time (to add a blank line), you should set the space using the Paragraph command (Format menu) and set the "Space Before" and "Space After" the paragraph as required. Page 297 Q. The Spelling checker, Thesaurus, hyphenation or User dictionary facilities refuse to work and an error requester appears. A. These facilities need the "Spelling checker" or Thesaurus data files to work. If using floppy disks, a requester will prompt you to put the Ww3Spell or Ww3Extras disks into the disk drive as required. If you are using a hard disk, firstly, check that you have used the correct installation procedure. Check that Wordworth knows where the dictionary data files are stored. To do this, choose "Change Settings" (Settings menu) and select Spell. The dictionary and thesaurus will show the path it is using to look for the data files. Amend as necessary, for example, using hard disk dh0:Wordworth/Spell, using floppy disk Ww3Spell:Spell or Ww3EXtras:Spell. If you have at least 4 megabytes of RAM available, you can copy the spelling checker drawer into the RAM disk. This will make using the spelling checker and thesaurus considerably faster (since Wordworth will always check the RAM disk first before the disk). Q. Do I need to have the Spelling checker or Thesaurus disk in the disk drive at all times? A. I am having difficulty double-clicking to select a word, and triple- clicking to select a line. Try changing the time interval between double-clicks. This can be set from your Input preferences program settings on your Workbench disk. If you are using floppy disks: step 1 Reset your Amiga with the Wordworth3 disk in drive df0:. step 2 Insert your Workbench disk and click the disk icon. Click the Prefs drawer and double-click Input program. This will load the settings from the Wordworth3 disk. Page 298 step 3 Change the "Double Click Delay" slider as appropriate and then click Save to save your changes to the Wordworth3 disk. Q. With several documents open, Wordworth appears to stop Working. A. Check that you do not have a requester displayed in one of the documents (it may be hidden by another document). You will need to clear the requester before you can continue. Q. My Amiga keeps asking me to "Insert volume Wordworth3 in any drive", even after I have inserted the Wordworth3 disk. A. When you made backup copies of your Wordworth disks, you probably renamed them incorrectly. It's very easy to leave an extra space before or after the name without realising. When renaming disks, don't leave any characters in front of the Wordworth name, and copy the names as they appear on the original Wordworth disks. Q. How do I merge two files? A. Open the first document as normal and then open the second. From the Edit menu, choose the "Select All" command and then from the Edit menu, choose the Copy command (or press Right Amiga-C) to copy the entire contents of the second document to the clipboard. Return to the first document and place the cursor at the desired insertion point. Choose Paste from the Edit menu (or press Right Amiga-V) to paste the clipboard into the first document. Now save this document using a new name using the "Save As" command from the Project menu. Page 299 Q. Although I am using the spelling checker from the RAM disk, why does Wordworth still ask for the Ww3Spell disk? A. When spelling checking, Wordworth looks for the Collins dictionary and then a User dictionary. If you add words to the User dictionary in RAM, once the Amiga is switched off, they would be lost. To prevent this, and to save your own words in the User dictionary, Wordworth needs the dictionary disk to be in a disk drive (although, whilst spelling checking, it will perform all of the checking in RAM). However, you can override this safety feature by changing the Dictionary text gadget in the "Spell Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu) to RAM:SPELL. Q. Paragraph formatting (centre, left, right, fully) does not always seem to work correctly. A. Use the "Show Codes" command document menu) to show codes and check that the paragraph doesn't contain tabs (which are shown by a triangle), as these will override any justification. INSTALLATION Q. Wordworth failed to install on my hard disk. A. You probably have insufficient free space on your hard disk. Wordworth requires at least 3 megabytes of disk space. Try deleting some files on the hard disk before installing. Q. After Wordworth prompted for Name, Organization and License Number it quit and returned to Workbench. A. Wordworth needs to be personalized before you can use the program. You need to type your Name, Organization and License Number. Thereafter, this information is shown every time you use the program, confirming that you are the licensed user of Wordworth. The information must be typed correctly, typing blank lines, or an invalid License Number will cause Wordworth to quit. Page 300 Q. When installing Wordworth, l get an error requester telling me my Wordworth disk has a read/ write error. A. Your Amiga has detected a fault with the disk, and therefore the disk needs replacing. If this occurs on your original master disks, return them to Digita and include a stamped self-addressed envelope. We will send you tested replacements by return. FONTS Q. Can I use PD and ColorFonts in Wordworth? A. Yes, just copy them into your System Fonts: drawer (on the Wordworth3 floppy disk). Q. When l select a new typeface, only half of the font appears on the screen. A. You should set the line spacing to Auto and let Wordworth work it out (Paragraph command, Format menu). Q. Large italic fonts sometimes become corrupt. A. Workbench 2 sometimes slightly corrupts (spurious pixels may appear). Try to avoid large Amiga bit-mapped italic fonts until a solution is found. PRINTING Q. I wish to select more than one printer driver from the printer list, and if I do, how does Wordworth know which driver I wish to use. A. Start the "Add New Printer" program on the Ww3Install-1 disk to install a new printer. If you are using a floppy disk system, you can only install one printer driver (disk space is very tight). You make your choice of printer driver from the "Print Setup" requester (Project menu). Choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) to store your printer settings permanently (as default). Page 301 Q. I have a PostScript printer, but no hard disk on which to store the PostScript screen fonts. How can I use them on my floppy disk system. A. Contact Digita technical support. Q. When printing multiple page documents, the paging seems to get out of sync. Sometimes the bottom of a page appears at the top of the next. A. Check the page size you are using (Document command, Format menu), does it match the paper size? If you are using the a HP_Deskjet or HP_LaserJet printer, you may only get a ten inch page. Q. Each time I start Wordworth I have to manually change the printer driver. A. To save them permanently you need to choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) Q. I cannot seem to get the "Print Method- "Printer Font" to work, and even though Draft is not selected, the output always appears in draft mode. A. You have selected the Generic printer driver from the "Print Setup" requester. Select the appropriate one for your printer and click OK. Then choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) to permanently save the settings. Q. Does Wordworth support the extra fonts supplied in my printer' s font cartridge? A. Not at the moment. However, it is our aim to support as many printer fonts as possible and we are constantly expanding our range of printer drivers and fonts. If you own a font set that Wordworth doesn't support, we need to know the following information about the font: Its name, sizes, styles, the font width (metric tables) for each character, and the control codes to select them. This information is printed at the rear of most printer/font manuals, and so you may wish to consider loaning us the manual for investigation. Page 302 Q. I have just purchased the very latest in printer technology, but Cannot find a printer driver to match, help! A. Digita do not write printer drivers. It's best to contact a PD library). Q. When printing my outline fonts using the "Print Method"-Normal, I get the message 'Error: Not enough memory'. A. Check that you have correctly set the printer driver ("Print Setup" requester, Project menu). You will probably find that your printer driver is set to Generic. If a suitable printer driver for your printer does not appear in the list box, you will have to install the appropriate driver using the Add New Printer program (Ww3Install-1 disk). Q. I own a Daisywheel printer but do not seem able to get the graphics to appear on my printouts. A. You won't! Daisywheel printers cannot output graphics, only text. As with all printers, you will need to check their specification. Q. I cannot get any graphics to appear on my printouts, only text. A. Check your printer is capable of printing graphics and that you have selected the correct printer driver from the "Print Setup" requester ("Print Setup" command, Project menu) Q. When dumping graphics to the printer, all I get is garbage sent to the printer. A. You have not selected the correct driver for your printer. Check the "Print Setup" requester is properly configured. Q. I want to use a Serial Printer instead of the Parallel default. How do I change the settings. A. Click the Wordworth program icon and choose Information from the Workbench Icons menu. Select the (DEVICE=SERIAL) tooltype and delete the brackets, press the Return key and click Save. Now start Wordworth as normal. Page 303 This page empty Page 304 THE GLOSSARY Page 305 This page empty Page 306 ACTIVE WINDOW ------------- the frontmost window on the Workbench; the window where the next action will take place. An active window's title bar is highlighted ALERT BOX --------- A box that appears on the screen to give a warning or to report an error message. Its appearance is usually accompanied by a sound warning such as a beep. ALT KEY ------- A modifier key that gives a different meaning or action to another key you press or to mouse actions you perform. AMIGA KEYS ---------- Two modifier keys which give a different meaning or action to another key you press or to mouse actions you perform. These keys are situated left and right of the space bar and marked with a symbol. Each key has separate meanings or actions. AMIGADOS -------- Amiga Disk Operating System. It normally consists of Kickstart and Workbench. APPLICATION ----------- Computer program, such as Wordworth 3, so called because you apply the computer to the task in hand. ASCENDER -------- Top part of an upper case character that rises above the body of the character. ASCENT ------ The vertical distance from a font's base line to its ascent line. ASCII ----- Acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange (pronounced "ASK-ee") A standard that assigns a unique binary number to each text character and control character. ASCII code is used for representing text inside a computer and for transmitting text between computers or between a computer and a peripheral device. ASPECT RATIO ------------ The ratio of an image's width to its height. For example, a standard video display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. BACKSPACE --------- To move to the left in a line of text, erasing the character or selection; thus synonymous with delete. BACKSPACE KEY ------------- A key that backspaces over and erases the previously typed character or the current selection. BASE LINE --------- A horizontal line that coincides with the bottom of each character in a font, excluding descenders (tails on letters like p). Page 307 BITMAP ------ (1) A set of bits that represent the graphic image of an original document in memory. (2) A set of bits that represents the position and states of a corresponding set of items, such as pixels. Compare pixel map. See also bit image. BITMAPPED FONT -------------- A font made up of bitmapped characters. Fonts stored in an Amiga system file are bitmapped fonts, for example. Compare internal font. BODY TEXT --------- Main segment of text, not including headings, headers/footers an so on. BOLD ---- Letters with a heavier, blacker appearance. BUG --- An error in a program that causes it not to work as intended The expression reportedly comes from the early days of computing when an itinerant moth shorted a connection and caused a breakdown in a room- sized computer. BUILT-IN FONT ------------- See internal font. BUSY ICON --------- The Amiga changes the pointer into a bubble when it is busy processing information. BUTTON ------ A pushbutton-like image in requesters where you click to designate, confirm, or cancel an action. Compare mouse button. CANCEL BUTTON ------------- A button that appears in a requester. Clicking it cancels the command. CAPS LOCK KEY ------------- A key that, when engaged, causes subsequently typed letters to appears in uppercase; its effect is like that of the Shift key except that it doesn't affect numbers and other non-letter symbols. CASE SENSITIVE -------------- Able to distinguish between uppercase characters and lowercase characters. CHARACTER --------- Any symbol that has a widely understood meaning and thus can convey information. Some characters - such as letters, numbers and punctuation - can be displayed on the monitor screen and printed on a printer. CHECK BOX --------- A small box associated with an option in a requester. When you click the check box, you may change the option or affect related options. CLICK ----- (v.) To position the pointer on something, and then press and quickly release the mouse button. (n.) The act of clicking. CLOSE BOX --------- The small white box on the left side of the title bar of an active window. Clicking it closes the window. Page 308 COLLATE ------- Assemble in order. For example, if you are printing 5 copies of a 10 page document, the printer will print faster by printing page 1 5 times, then page 2 5 times an so on. Switching collation on will print the 10 page document and then repeat 4 times. CONTEXT SENSITIVE ----------------- Able to perceive the situation in which an event occurs. For example, Wordworth's help system can present help information specific to the particular task you're performing, rather than a general list of commands; such help is context sensitive. CONTROL KEY ----------- A specific key on Amiga keyboards that produces control characters when used in combination with other keys. COOL LINKS ---------- A command on the Amiga which lets you link the files from two applications, like a DPaint picture in a Wordworth document. The files are linked, and so if you changed the source file, you can instruct the application to changed in the other file. CURSOR ------ (1) A symbol displayed on the screen marking where the user's next action will take effect or where the next character typed from the keyboard will appear. (2) A mark on the screen that indicates your position on the command line or inside a file. The cursor is usually a small box or an underscore, and it usually blinks. (3) The term used in technical manuals for the pointer on the screen. CUT --- To remove something by selecting it and choosing Cut from a menu. What you cut is placed on the Clipborard. In other editing applications, "Delete" serves the same function. CUT AND PASTE ------------- To move something from one place in a document to another in the same document or a different one. It's the computer equivalent of using scissors to clip something and glue to paste the clipping somewhere else. DECIMAL TAB ----------- A tab, represented by a decimal tab marker, that aligns columns of numbers at the decimal point position (or columns of words to the left of the tab. DEFAULT ------- A value, action, or setting that a computer system assumes, unless the user gives an explicit instruction to the contrary. Default values prevent a program from stalling or crashing if no value is supplied by the user. DESCENDER --------- Bottom part of a lower case character that falls below the baseline. Page 309 DESCENT ------- The vertical distance from a font's base line to its descent line. DESCENT LINE ------------ A horizontal line that coincides with the bottom of character descenders (such as the tail on a lowercase p) extending farthest below the base line. See also ascent line, base line, font size. DESELECT -------- A command to a device such as a printer to place it into a condition in which it will not receive data. A deselect command has an effect opposite to that of a select command. DIALOG BOX ---------- (1) A box that contains a message requesting more information from you. Sometimes the message warns you that you're asking your computer to do something it can't do or that you're about to destroy some of your information. In these cases, the message is often accompanied by a beep. (2) A box that an Amiga application displays to request information or to report that it is waiting for a process to complete. DISABLED -------- Describes a menu item or menu that cannot be chosen; the menu item or menu title appears dimmed. A disabled item in a dialogue or alert box has no effect when clicked. DOCUMENT WINDOW --------------- The window that displays a document image or a document opened from disk. DOUBLE CLICK ------------ Two clicks in quick succession, interpreted as a single command. The action of a double click is different from that of a single click. For example, clicking an icon selects the icon; double-clicking an icon opens it. DRAFT ----- When printing, the draft mode of a printer is the fastest, but the lowest quality. DRAG ---- To position the pointer on something, press and hold the left mouse button, move the mouse, and release the mouse button. When you release the mouse button, you either confirm a selection or move an object to a new location. DRAWER ------ A holder of files, applications and even other drawers on the desktop. Drawers act as subdirectories, allowing you to organise information logically. DRIVE NUMBER ------------ A number used to identify a disk drive. The internal floppy disk drive is numbered DF0, the internal hard drive is numbered DH0, and any additional drives will have larger numbers. EDIT ---- To change or modify. For example, to insert, remove, replace or move text in a document. Page 310 EDIT MENU --------- A menu in most mouse based programs that lists editing commands - like Copy, Cut and Paste. ERASE ----- A command in the Edit menu that removes selected material without placing it on the Clipboard. You can use the Undo command immediately after using Erase to reverse the action. ERROR MESSAGE ------------- A message displayed or printed to tell you of an error or problem in the execution of a program or in your communication with the system. An error message is often accompanied by a beep. FACING PAGES ------------ Book format where the printed pages are opened out to display matter on both left and right-hand pages. FILE ---- (1) Any named, ordered collection of information stored on a disk. Application programs and operating systems on disks are examples of files. You make a file when you create text or graphics, give the material a name, and save it to disk; in this sense, file is synonymous with document. FILE NAME --------- The name that identifies a file. The maximum character length of a filename and the rules for naming a file vary under different operating systems. Compare pathname. FIXED WIDTH FONT ---------------- A font where all the characters share the same width, like PostScript Courier font, Refer proportional font. FONT ---- A complete set of characters in one design, size and style. In traditional typography usage, font may be restricted to a particular size and style or may comprise multiple sizes, or multiple sizes and styles, of a typeface design. See also bitmapped font, font family, font scaling, internal font, printer font. FONT FAMILY ----------- A complete set of characters for one typeface design, including all styles and sizes of the character in that font. For example, the Geneva font family includes 9-point to 36-point characters in italic, bold, outlined and other styles. FONT HEIGHT ----------- The vertical distance from a font's ascent line to its descent line. FONT SIZE --------- The size of a font of characters in points; equivalent to the distance between the ascent line and the descent line in one line of text. Examples of font size are 12 point and 18 point. See also base line, leading, line spacing, point. FONT STYLE ---------- A set of stylistic variations other than size, such as italic, bold and under line. Page 311 FOOTER ------ An indentifying line at the bottom margin of a document. A footer can appear on every page and can include text, pictures, page numbers, the date and time. Footers that are repeated throughout a document are called running footers or running feet. Compare header. FUNCTION KEY ------------ Special keys, usually identified as F1, F2 and so on. Many applications use these for special functions. Gadget ------ An Intuition managed object such as a button, icon or sliding knob. The title bar on most Intuition windows doubles a drag gadget. GRAPHICS -------- (1) Information presented in the form of pictures or images. (2) The display of pictures or images on a computer's display screen. Compare text file. GREY SCALE ---------- Shades of grey on the screen that are created by varying the intensity of the screen's pixels, rather than just by using a combination of only black and white pixels to produce shading. GUTTER ------ Space between columns of text HAM --- Acronym for Hold and Modify. Special screen mode used by the Amiga to display 4096 colours at once, using only a fraction of the amount of memory required by normal methods. HANDLES ------- Boxes have eight handles, one on each corner and one in the middle of each side. They are used to change box proportions. HANG ---- To cease operation because either an expected condition is not satisfied or an infinite loop is occurring. Compare crash. HANGIN INDENT ------------- Indentation of the first line of a paragraph for bulleted or numbers items. HARD SPACE ---------- See non-breaking space. HEADER ------ An identifying line at the top margin of a document. A header can appear on every page and can include text, pictures, page numbers, the date and the time. Headers that are repeated throughout a document are called running headers or running heads. Compare footer. HIGHLIGHT --------- To make something visually distinct. For example, when you select a block of text using Wordworth, the selected text is highlighted - it appears as light letters on a dark background, rather than dark-on-light. Highlighting is accomplished by inverting the display. See also inverse video. Page 312 HOT LINKS --------- A command on the Amiga which lets you link the files from two applications, like placing a DPaint picture in a Wordworth document. The files are linked, and so if you change the source file, it will automatically changed in the other file. HUMAN INTERFACE PROTOCOL (HIP) ------------------------------ A set of software protocol guidelines designed by Digita International to enhance the desktop concept. See also desktop. I-BEAM ------ A type of pointer like the capital letter "I" and used in entering and editing text. ICON ---- An image that graphically represents an object, a concept, or a message. Icons on the outside of the computer can be used to show you where to plug cables, such as the disk drive icon on the back panel that marks the disk drive connector. Screen icons in mouse-based applications represent disks, files, application programs, or other things you can select and open. IFF --- Abbreviation for Interchange File Format. A standard file format covering graphics and animation, sound and music, even formatted text. INSERTION POINT --------------- The pace in a document where something will be added, represented by a blinking vertical bar. You select the insertion point by clicking where you want to make the change in the document. INTERNAL FONT ------------- A font stored in the printer's internal read-only memory. An internal font is printed when the printer is in text mode (that is, not printing graphics) and receives printable ASCII characters. Also called a built-in font. Compare bitmapped font. See also printer font, screen font. INTUITION --------- The core of the Amiga's WIMP system. INVERSE VIDEO ------------- The display of text on the computer's display screen in the form of dark dots on a light (or other single phosphor colour) background, instead of the usual light dots on a dark background. See also highlight. ITALIC ------ Text modified to slant to the right. JUSTIFICATION ------------- The horizontal placement of lines of text relative to the edges of the rectangle in which the text is drawn. KERN ---- To draw part of a character so that it overlaps an adjacent character. It is used to give test a tighter appearance. KERNING PAIRS ------------- Character combinations that are typically kerned. Different fonts have different combinations. Page 313 KEYBOARD EQUIVALENT ------------------- The combination of the right Amiga key and another key, used to invoke a menu item from the keyboard. Also called a Amiga-key equivalent. KEYBOARD SHORTCUT ------------------ A keystroke that you can use instead of a mouse action to perform a task. For example, in Home Accounts2 pressing the right Amiga and the O keys at the same time is the same as choosing the Open command from the Project menu. KICKSTART --------- The Amiga's Operating System (OS), usually contained in a ROM (or on disk). LEADING ------- Pronounced "LED-ing"; the amount of blank vertical space between the descent line of one line of text and the ascent line of the next line of single spaced text. In early typesetting, strips of lead were placed between the lines of type for spacing, hence the term. Compare line spacing. LINE BREAK ---------- The end of a line of text on the screen or on a printed page. You can force a line break by pressing Return, or you can let an application break lines for you. LINE SPACING ------------ The vertical distance between lines of type measured from base line to base line. For example, "10/12" indicates 10-point type with 12 point base-to-base(that is, with 2 point leading). MAIL MERGING APPLICATION ------------------------ An application that takes names and addresses from a database and puts them into form letters. MAIN MENU --------- The top level of options in a program having several levels of options. Making a choice from a main menu takes you to another menu. MARGIN ------ Blank area surrounding printed matter on a page. MEMORY ------ A hardware component of a computer system that can store information for later retrieval. MENU ---- A list of choices presented by a program, from which you can select an action. In the desktop interface, menus appear when you click the right mouse button. Dragging through the menu and releasing the mouse button while a command is highlighted chooses that command. MENU BAR -------- The horizontal strip at the top of the screen that contains menu titles. Displayed by pressing the Right Mouse key. MONOSPACED FONT --------------- A fixed-width font. Compare proportional font. Page 314 MOUSE ----- A small device you move around on a flat surface next to your computer. The mouse controls a pointer on the screen whose movements correspond to those of the mouse. You use the pointer to select operations, to move data, and to draw with in graphics programs. MOUSE BUTTONS ------------- The buttons on the top of the mouse. In general, pressing the left mouse button initiates some action on whatever is under the pointer, and releasing the button confirms the action. Pressing the right mouse button displays the menu on the title bar. Compare button. NON-BREAKING SPACE ------------------ The character with ASCII code $CA; drawn as a space the same width as a digit but interpreted as a non-blank character for the purpose of word wrap and selection. PARAGRAPH --------- Collection of characters or pictures which end in a carriage return or page break. PASTE ----- To place the contents of the Clipboard - whatever was last cut or copied - at the insertion point. POINTER ------- A small shape on the screen that follows the movement of the mouse or shows where your next action will take place. The pointer can be an arrow, an I-beam, a crossbar, or a stopwatch. POSTSCRIPT ---------- A page description language used to transfer information to printers and other devices. PRINTER DRIVER -------------- A program that controls the exchange of information between a printer and the computer. You must have a separate printer driver for each type of printer that you want to use. PRINTER FONT ------------ A bitmapped font intended for use by the printer rather than for use on the screen. Compare screen font. See also internal font. PROPORTIONAL FONT ----------------- (1) Any font in which different characters have different widths; thus the space taken up by the words having the same number of letters may vary. For example, in the typeface used here the letter M is wider that the letter I, so MMMMM produces a wider string than IIIII. (2) A font whose character s all have character widths that proportional to their image width. Compare monospaced font. README DOCUMENT --------------- A plain text document that is included on application and system software disks and provides you with late-breaking information about the product. Page 315 REQUESTER --------- See dialog box. RIGHT AMIGA KEY --------------- A modifier key that gives a different meaning or action to another key you press or to mouse actions you perform. ROMAN ----- A type setting term which describes normal, upright text (as distinct from bold, italic, etc,). SANS SERIF ---------- Without serifs: serifs are fine lines that finish off the main strokes of a letter - like the little "feet" on the bottom of the vertical strokes in the letter M (Garamond). Avant Garde is a sans-serif font; Avant Garde M looks like this : M. SHELL ----- A program contained in Workbench which allows users to enter commands directly using the keyboard, by-passing the desktop. On the Amiga this is called the CLI. SHIFT KEY --------- A key that, when pressed, causes the subsequent letter you type to appear in uppercase or the top symbol on a two- character key to be produced. The Shift key can also modify mouse actions. See Shift-click. SIZE BOX -------- A box in the lower-right corner of some windows. Dragging the size box resizes the window. SUBSCRIPT --------- A letter or number printed lower than the base line of the text that surrounds it. Compare superscript. SUPERSCRIPT ----------- A letter or number printed higher than the base line of the text that surrounds it; for example in the value 2³, the 3 is a super script. Compare subscript. TAB --- Short for tabulator; on a typewriter keyborads, a key that allows you to automatic stops (tab stops) or margins for columns, as in a table of figures. TAB KEY ------- A key that when pressed, generates the horizontal tab character. The key's action is to move the insertion point or cursor to the next tab marker, or, in a dialog box with more than one place to enter information, to the next rectangle. The Tab key thus works essentially like a typewriter tab key. TAB MARKER ---------- In Wordworth, an arrow above the inch scale of a ruler that marks the position to which the Tab key will move the insertion point. You get additional tabs by clicking on the ruler. TEXT GADGET ----------- A small box associated with an option in a dialog box. When you click in the box, you may edit the value. Page 316 TOGGLE OPTION ------------- A setting that may be turned on or off. TRACKING -------- Additional spacing between individual letters. TYPEFACES --------- Different families of characters, such as Times and Helvetica. WEIGHT ------ A term used in typesetting to describe the style of a typeface such as bold and italic. WORD WRAP --------- The automatic continuation of text from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. Word wrap lets you avoid pressing the Return key at the end of each line as you type. WORKBENCH --------- The Amiga's desktop where applications can be opened and files and disks copied. WAYSIDE ------- Acronym for What You See is What You Get. Used to describe programs such as Wordworth, which show typeface characteristics on screen (such as italic and bold).
