containing the Wordworth disks, you agree to accept the terms of the Digita software license (contained in the chapter titled "Terms And Conditions of Sale", in this book). The license gives you the right to install Wordworth on one computer and make a backup copy. When you violate the license, you violate the Copyright Act, which says it's illegal to make or distribute copies of copyrighted material without authorisation from the copyright owner. The Act also prohibits the commercial rental, leasing, or lending of software without the copyright owner's written permission. Each time you copy software illegally, you or your company risk facing a considerable fine. And if you do it "wilfully and for purposes of commercial advantage," you could go to jail. WARNING All Digita products contain copyright material in the form of proprietary software programmes and this printed book. Digita will seek considerable damages from any person and / or organisation found to be in violation of the copyrights. Breach of copyright can also lead to criminal proceedings. YOU A SOFTWARE PIRATE? You may not be aware of it, but if you answer "yes" to any of the questions below, you've probably violated software copyright law.. Have You Ever * Given away an old version of software when you received an upgrade.? * Given a copy of your software to a colleague at work? * "Borrowed" someone's software to try it out, then never purchased it? * Left copies of your software on a hard disk when you sold a computer? * Used software on the hard disk of a previously owned computer without paying for it? (This list is not exhaustive.) Page xii The Benefits of Using Legal Software When you use legal copies of software, you receive timesaving documentation and product support. You minimise the risk of copying a software virus on your computer. And if your original disk gets damaged, you can get up-to-date replacements. What's more, you can receive timely notification of product upgrades. But beyond the tangible benefits, you're also purchasing the, right to legitimately use software that took a team of hard working people years and thousands of pounds to produce. Your purchase is a vote. It's your way of rewarding the team that created the great software. And it's your way of encouraging and enabling them to produce even better products in the future.

Page 23 This Page empty Page 24 @endnode @node 1.1 1.1 What You Should Already Know To set up Wordworth on your Amiga, you need an understanding of basic Amiga concepts. Before you begin, you should know how to: * Use icons on the Amiga Workbench. * Use the mouse to point, drag click and double-click. * Start and quit applications using Workbench. * How to initialize and copy disks using the Shell and Workbench. * Open, copy, and delete Amiga documents and disks from Workbench. * Select menus, pull down menus and choose commands. * Scroll in windows, and re-size and re-position windows. If you are not familiar with these terms or processes, see your Amiga owner's guide. Page 25 @endnode @node 1.2 1.2 Preparing to Use Wordworth You have been provided with four master disks. It's important to work with copies of your Wordworth disks rather than the originals. If a copy is damaged or lost, you can go back to the original and make another copy. step 1 Make backup copies of your master disks. Before copying the master disks, slide up the small tab (if it exists) in the upper-left corner on the back of each disk so that it is in the uppermost position (the tab will no longer be visible from the front side of the disk). This locks information on the disk, preventing accidental deletion of files and documents. step 2 Now copy each disk as follows. Switch on your Amiga and insert the disk titled Workbench. Double-click the Workbench disk icon, double-click the System drawer, and then double- click the Shell icon. Type: Sys:System/diskcopy from DF0: to DF1: and press the Return key (be sure to type a zero, not the letter O). step 3 Now place the original master disk in the internal disk drive and the backup disk in the second drive. When prompted, press the Return key. Page 26 Make a backup copy of all the disks using this procedure and then put the originals away in a safe place. Important If you make backups from Workbench be sure to rename the backup disks removing copy of and make sure there are no hidden spaces contained in the disk titles. Page 27 @endnode @node 1.3 1.3 Installation You need to install Wordworth once before you can use it. Once Wordworth has been successfully instilled, you do not need to repeat the process again unless you wish to add extra Wordworth modules. @endnode @node 1.3.1 1.3.1 Installing Wordworth Floppy disk users You need to have the following items before you can begin: * The four backup copies of your Wordworth master disks (to make backup copies, follow the procedures outlined in section 1.2 "Preparing to Use Wordworth"). * At least five blank floppy disks onto which Wordworth will be installed. Throughout this procedure you will be prompted to change disks as necessary (for example, Insert volume Ww3System in any drive). step 1 Switch on your Amiga and insert the disk titled Ww3Install-1. step 2 When the desktop appears, double-click the Ww31nstall-1 disk icon, and then double-click the install Wordworth 3 icon. step 3 Before the installation begins, you will be asked to specify your knowledge of the Amiga: Novice A basic installation is automatically performed for you.

Now go to step 7. step 6 Intermediate or Expert Users only-the installer will ask you to select the type of installation you require: Partial The more advanced features are not installed, these are Tables, TextEffects, TrueType and PostScript font support, graphic and text filters. Full All features of Wordworth 3 are automatically installed for you. Custom You will be given the ability to choose exactly what files (features) are installed. If you use a PostScript printer you will need a hard disk drive. step 7 Before the end of the installation you will be asked to select your printer model from a list. To move up and down the list, use the scroll arrows to the right of the list entries. If your printer does not appear in the list, refer to your "Printer User Manual" to find the most suitable equivalent (you may find this under a section titled Emulations). If you can't find a suitable printer in the list then select 'Printer Not Listed". Click OK to install your printer. IMPORTANT If you get a message to insert a disk which is already in the drive, then the disk is incorrectly titled and needs renaming. A message will appear to confirm that the installation has been successfully completed. Now reset your Amiga with the disk titled Wordworth3 in the internal drive and refer to Chapter Two, "Starting Wordworth". Page 29 Hard Disk Users You will need a minimum of 3MB of disk space to install Wordworth 3 to hard disk. This installation copies Wordworth into a drawer titled Wordworth3 on your hard disk. Within this drawer, the installer will copy the Wordworth files, thesaurus, dictionary files, program modules, fonts, tutorial documents, some Digita Clip Art, a selection of Wordworth Templates, icons, graphic and text filters, and the Wordworth help files. step 1 Switch on your computer and wait for the Workbench desktop to appear as normal. step 2 When the Workbench appears, insert the disk titled Ww31nstall-1. Double- click the disk icon and then double-click the icon titled install Wordworth 3. step 3 Before the installation begins, you will be asked to specify your knowledge of the Amiga: Novice A basic installation is automatically performed for you.

Click Proceed to start the installation. step 4 When prompted, select the radio button titled "On A Hard Disk" and then click the Proceed button to start the installation. Page 30 step 5 Novice users only-the installer will install Wordworth 3 onto your hard disk. At the end of the installation, you will be told where the Wordworth3 drawer containing the Wordworth program is situated. (On most hard disks, this will be the partition titled Work. However, if a partition of this name does not exist, the installer will make an informed guess.) Some of the more advanced features (such as Tables, TextEffects, TrueType and PostScript font support, graphic and text filters) will not be installed. Now go to step 7. Intermediate or Expert user's the installer will ask you to select the destination for Wordworth (where you wish the Wordworth program and files to be located on your hard disk). Insert the appropriate disks as requested. step 6 Intermediate or Expert Users Only-You will be prompted to choose what type of installation you require: Partial The more advanced features are not installed, these are Tables, TextEffects, TrueType and PostScript font support, graphic and text filters. You will need a minimum of 3MB of disk space. Full All features of Wordworth 3 are automatically installed for you. You will need a minimum of 5MB of disk space. Custom You will be given the ability to choose exactly what files are installed. A minimum of 3MB of disk space will be needed (the maximum is 5MB). You will also need about 1MB disk space in your system partition for Wordworth libraries, fonts and other files. Your Amiga system and the amount of memory available will decide which Wordworth modules can be installed. IMPORTANT If you get a message to insert a disk which is already in the drive, then the disk is incorrectly titled and needs renaming. Page 31 step 7 Before the end of the installation you will be asked to select your printer model from a list. To move up and down the list, use the scroll arrows to the right of the list entries.

As they are much closer than the stars, we can follow their movements across the sky. ¶ The brightest object in the sky, apart from the sun and the moon, is Venus. It is about the size of the Earth, with an atmosphere of brilliant white clouds, which prevents its surface from being seen clearly.¶ Saturn, the second largest planet (about 119,000 km in diameter), is the most extraordinary of the planets because it is surrounded by a system of rings. For a long time the rings puzzled astronomers, but they are now known to consist of millions of separate solid particles.¶ @{" Figure 4-4 Creating a document " system "ps ww3_2:fig4-4"} Notice that the first line automatically wordwraps onto the next line.

When exporting the file you will need to know two things. Firstly, the characters used to separate the fields and records, and secondly, whether the file contains the field names in the first (or Header) record. When exporting the file from Superbase using the DIF format, Wordworth will automatically recognise the field names as they are saved as Labels within the file. step 2 If the database file contains field name information in the first record (or as LABELS) then you will need to use these names when typing the fields into your document between the « and » characters. If the file does not contain field name information, you will need to type «FIELD1 », «FIELD2», «FIELD3» and so on, to take the place of the field names. step 3 From the "Mail Merge" requester, select the format of the database file using the Format pop-up gadget, and select the "File Includes Header Record" check box if necessary. Page 103 @{" Figure 7-3 'Mail Merge' file requester with Format pop-up " system "ps ww3_2:fig7-3"} If you exported the file from a database that is not known by Wordworth, you can select the characters used to separate the fields and records by using the pop-up text gadgets for ASCII Field and Record Separators or by typing the ASCII value into the gadget. To merge the file with the form letter, click Print and then click Print again. Page 104 @endnode @node 8 CHAPTER EIGHT SPECIAL FEATURES This tutorial will cover some of the special features of Wordworth 3. These features have a lot of power and can seem daunting at first. However, this tutorial aims to give a gentle introduction into this new world. Page 105 This page empty Page 106 @endnode @node 8.1 8.1 TEMPLATES Use templates to give you a headstart in creating a document. Templates do this by providing a blueprint for text, graphics and formatting. There are many different uses for templates which will save time in the production of documents. You could create a facsimile template that included all the graphics and text that is an essential part of a fax sheet. This only leaves you to type the destination details and main contents of the fax. @endnode @node 8.1.1 8.1.1 SELECTING A TEMPLATE To start a new document from a template choose the New command (Project menu), select the template from the list gadget and click New. @{" Figure 8-1 Templates requester " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-1"} The template will open into a window called "untitled 1". @endnode @node 8.1.2 8.1.2 CREATING TEMPLATES This example shows how to create a template suitable for the headed notepaper of a club. step 1 Choose New (Project menu) and select the Normal template.

Page 114 @endnode @node 8.4 8.4 DRAWING TOOLS - SHAPES Drawing tools are a selection of commands, represented by an on-screen palette, which create shapes and objects on the page. Each command is represented by an icon: @{" Figure 8-6a Drawing tools palette " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-6a"} IMPORTANT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- When you type information into an Information requester, you must complete the entry by pressing the Return key (or Tab). If you type an entry without pressing the Return key, and click OK, the entry will be ignored. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @endnode @node 8.4.1 8.4.1 CREATING A SHAPE Choose "Drawing Tools" (View menu) and when they appear click the box tool. Move the pointer onto the page. Press down and hold the Selection button while you drag the pointer down and to the left of its original position. As you do so, you will notice a box outline appears on the page. Drag the box outward to the size you want and then release the Selection button to draw the shape on the page. Page 115 @{" Figure 8-7 Creating a shape " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-7"} @endnode @node 8.4.2 8-4-2 RE-SIZING Select the box you drew before by clicking once on it. Notice four solid squares appear over each corner of the box. These squares are called handles and are used for sizing the shape. Move the mouse pointer over the bottom-left handle and you will see the mouse pointer change into a double arrow. Now, hold down the Selection button and drag the mouse pointer to the new size of the box. @{" Figure 8-8 Re-sizing a shape " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-8"} Page 116 When creating a new shape, you can constrain the size by holding down the Ctrl key as you drag the mouse: SHAPE DRAGGING + CTRL KEY Line Constrains to horizontal or vertical line Box Constrains to a square Oval Constrains to a circle @endnode @node 8.4.3 8.4.3 MOVING There are two ways to move a shape around the page: With the Arrow pointer and with an information requester. Moving With The Arrow Pointer To move the box with the mouse, click the Selection button anywhere on the shape to select it-you should notice that four handles appear on each corner, this shows that the shape is selected. With the pointer still over the box, hold down the Selection button and drag the outline of the shape to its new position. You can drag the shape onto a different page by just moving the pointer off the edge of the page. As you do this, the page scrolls automatically until you move the pointer back onto the page. The closer the pointer is to the bottom of the page, the slower the document will scroll and vice versa. @{" Figure 8-9 Moving a shape " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-9"} Page 117 If you are in the middle of creating, sizing or moving a shape and you wish to cancel the operation, press the Menu mouse button while you still have the Selection button depressed. Depress the Ctrl key (whilst moving an object) to constrain an object along the horizontal or vertical axis. Moving With The Information Requester Choose "Create Object' (Object menu) and select Line. Click on the page and drag out a line of about 2 inches. Select the Line by clicking it) and choose the Information command (Object menu). The "Line Information" requester has two groups of text gadgets titled Start and End. The start is the place where you first clicked on the page before dragging the pointer and the end is where you released the Selection button to create the line. Type the following: Start-"From Left": 2 Start-"From Top": 1.5 End-"From Left": 4 End-"From Top": 3 When you type a new figure into a gadget (and press the Return key), the information updates the screen instantly. As you typed new position figures, you may have seen the line move. Experiment further, and remember the "Line Information" requester is modeless, which means you can leave it on the screen as long as you like. You can move it out the way by dragging the "Window Title Bar", or minimise it by clicking the "Window Zoom" gadget. @endnode @node 8.4.4 8.4.4 CHANGING THE WAY SHAPES LOOK There are several ways you can control the look of shapes, including position, size, fill colour, colour, border style and thickness. Create a line on the page and choose the Information command (Object menu). Click on the Style pop-up gadget in the Start group and you will see a list of endings for the line. Select Splat. Select "8 pt" from the Thickness pop-up text gadget, and select Red from the Colour pop-up. Page 118 @{" Figure 8-10 'Line Information' requester " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-10"} The last attribute of a line is its "Line Style", set this to "Long Dash Dot". @endnode @node 8.4.5 8.4.5 DELETING A SHAPE To delete the shape, select it with the Selection button and either press the Del key, or choose Erase (Edit menu). @endnode @node 8.4.6 8.4.6 GROUPING SHAPES TOGETHER Sometimes it is convenient to link several shapes together so that they move as one. For example, if you created the shape of a face using two circles, one box and a line, you would probably want to move or re-size the individual shapes as one. This is achieved with the Group command. Create a simple face on the page using two circles, a box and a line. Select all of the shapes by dragging the Arrow pointer around them, ensuring the dotted line touches (and therefore selects) each individual shape. Release the Selection button and each shape will appear selected. Page 119 @{" Figure 8-11 Grouping objects " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-11"} Now choose Group from the Object menu. Four group handles will replace the handles on each individual shape. This means the group can be re-sized or moved like one item. Choose Information (Object menu) and notice that the information settings are now global, for the entire group. You can ungroup the group by selecting it and choose Ungroup (Object menu). @endnode @node 8.4.7 8.4.7 SHAPE DEPTH ARRANGEMENT As you create shapes on the page, you can see that some overlap and block your view of other shapes. The blocked shape has not been erased, it is just obscured by the other. Wordworth 3 arranges shapes in the order of creation, with the most recently created shape on top. Follow these steps to discover how to change the depth arrangement of your shapes: step 1 Choose "Create Object" (Object menu) and draw a box on the page. Then, create a circle overlapping the box and a line overlapping both the circle and box. Page 120 step 2 Select the line and choose "Move Backward" (Object menu). You will see that the line has moved behind the circle but remains in front of the box. @{" Figure 8-12 Arranging the depths of shapes " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-12"} Choose "Move Backward" (Object menu) again and the line moves behind the box. step 3 With the line still selected, choose 'Bring To Front"' (Object menu) and it is brought right to the front of all the objects that were obscuring it. @endnode @node 8.4.8 8.4.8 LOCKING SHAPES A shape can also be locked to the page to prevent anyone moving or re- sizing it. step 1 Select the box that you drew previously and choose Lock (Object menu). When a shape is locked, its black handles change to hollow squares. step 2 If you now try to move the pointer over the top of this box, the pointer will turn into a padlock denoting that the shape is locked. If you try to move the object, the screen will flash. Page 121 @{" Figure 8-13 Locked object " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-13"} step 3 Select the locked box and choose Unlock (Object Menu) to unlock the shape and allow you to change its size or position. @endnode @node 8.4.9 8.4.9 SPECIAL FEATURES There are other things you can do with shapes: DUPLICATE It's easy to create identical objects. Select the line that is on the page and choose Duplicate (Object menu). A copy of the line appears slightly offset from the original. ADD TO ALL PAGES Any shape, or group of shapes, can be easily added to the other pages in your document. Select the circle shape on your page and choose "Add To All Pages" (Object menu). Any further pages you create will have the circle positioned in the same place as the original. However, if you are using "Facing Pages", an object will only be added to all of the left or all or the right pages in a document. Page 122 @{" Figure 8-14 Object added to all pages " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-14"} Select the circle shape that is on all your other pages and drag it around the page. You will notice that the same object on all other pages was also moved. Press the Del key to delete the object. A small requester will appear asking if you wish to delete just the selected shape or all of the shapes. Click the "All Pages" button. Page 123 @endnode @node 8.5 8.5 DRAWING TOOLS Frames are very similar to shapes. As Both a shape and a frame is an object, any of the commands on the Object menu can apply to either. In addition, moving or sizing a frame using the mouse is the same as for a shape. @endnode @node 8.5.1 8.5.1 TEXT FRAME A text frame is like a container, which can be moved about (or dragged), anywhere on the page. This container can hold any amount of text and is independent from the text on your page. Any of the available tools when editing a normal document (text styles, character format, paragraph format and columns for example), can be used in a text frame. Think of a text frame as an free-floating independent miniature page within your document. step 1 Choose "Create Object" command (Object menu) and from the list gadget, select "Text Frame". You can move the "Create Object" requester out of the way by moving the Arrow pointer to the requester window title bar and, while holding down the Selection button, move the requester to its new position. Page 124 @{" Figure 8-15 Insertion point in active frame " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-15"} Type the following (do not press the Return key until you get to the ¶ character): The earth is one of nine planets that revolve around the bright star we call the sun. But the sun, on which we depend for nearly all our energy, is itself a very insignificant star in the immensity of space.¶ There are literally millions and millions of stars like our sun scattered throughout space. We do not even know how many of them have planets revolving around them because they are too far away.¶ step 3 If you click the background page (indeed, anywhere away from the frame) and then click in the text frame while holding down the Selection button, you will be able to drag the frame around the document. Four small squares appear on each corner of the frame when it is selected. These squares are called handles, and when the pointer is moved over the top of one, it changes into a double arrow. This double arrow denotes a re-sizing operation, which means that if the Selection button is selected and the mouse is dragged, the size of the frame will change. Page 125 @{" Figure 8-16 Re-sizing a frame " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-16"} step 5 An alternative, and more accurate method of changing the size and position of a text frame is to change its Position attributes. Choose Information command (Object menu). Like the "Create Object" requester, the "Text Frame Information" requester can be moved around and left on the screen whilst you carry on editing the document. Delete the contents of the Width text gadget and type 4. Replace the contents of the Height text gadget with 3, change "From Left" to 2 and "From Top" to 1. As you alter each one of these values, the text frame will change its size and position automatically. step 6 To change the number of columns in the text frame, move the cursor to the "Number Of" text gadget (Columns group), and type 2. Replace the contents of Gap with 0.25 and press the Return key, the text frame will automatically reformat into two columns. Page 126 step 7 Change the "Border Style" pop-up (Style group) from "Single Line" to "Double Line". Next, select "4 pt" from the Thickness pop-up text gadget and change the "border Colour" to "Mid Green". @{" Figure 8-17 'Frame Information' pop-up " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-17"} As you will have just seen, each time any attribute is changed on an Information requester the new values are immediately applied to the object providing instant feedback @endnode @node 8.5.2 8.5.2 TEXTEFFECTS You can use TextEffects to produce simple logos. step 1 Choose "Drawing Tools" command (View menu) and from the floating toolbar select the TextEffects icon (the Fx icon). Draw a square outline on the page and choose Information (Object menu) to display the "TextEffects Information" requester. step 2 Select Circle from the Type pop-up gadget (Effects group). Then type Digita international Limited into the Contents text gadget and click Apply. Page 127 @{" Figure 8-18 TextEffect requester " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-18"} You will see that the words Digita International Limited are drawn in a circle within your frame. step 3 The Word Digita starts at the top of the circle. Rotating the circle is simple, delete the contents of the "Rotate By" text gadget, type 235 and press the Return key. Click Apply and you will see the effect rotate. step 4 Now lets make the logo more impressive. Click the Font button and select Red from the "First Character" (Colour group) pop-up gadget, select Yellow from the "Last Character" pop-up and then click OK. step 5 Now add some shadow effects. Click the "Shadows" button and type 5 into the "Number Of Shadows' text gadget. Type 25 into the Size text gadget ("Last Shadow Offset" group), this will make the fifth (and last) shadow 25% smaller than the original. Next, select "80% Grey" from the "First Shadow Colour" pop-up gadget and "20% Grey' from the "Last Shadow Colour" pop-up. Page 128 In the "Last Shadow" group type 2.5 into the "Distance Across" gadget. Click OK and you should see the changes take place after a few moments intensive Amiga calculation. @{" Figure 8-19 Finished TextEffects " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-19"} Click OK from the main TextEffects requester to return to the page. @endnode @node 8.5.3 8.5.3 TABLES AND CALCULATIONS With tables, you can arrange columns of numbers and text in a document without the need for using tabs. Tables also provide a convenient way to present the text in side-by-side paragraphs, as in a script for a play. A table is a grid of Rows and Columns marked by Gridlines. Each small box in the table is called a Cell and the gridlines will not be printed unless specifically requested. step 1 To create a table on your page, choose "Create Object" command (Object menu) and select Table from the list. With the Selection button, drag a box 1 inch wide x 2 inches high. A grid, one across by about four down should have been created. If you did not get enough cells created then drag out the table using the table handles to automatically create new rows or columns. Page 129 step 2 Move the Arrow pointer over the bottom right handle and drag the table outline out to create more cells. A table of six rows by two columns is needed. @{" Figure 8-20 Re-sizing a table to create more rows and columns " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-20"} step 3 Move the pointer to the gridline separating the first and second columns and the Arrow pointer will change to a two-way pointer. Select the gridline with the Arrow pointer and it becomes dotted. Move it to the right about one half of an inch. When the Selection button is released, the gridline moves, therefore increasing the width of the first column and moving the second column over. Page 130 @{" Figure 8-21 Increasing the width of a column " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-21"} If the second column disappears, just drag out the width of the table using the tables handles to bring it back into view (rows and columns are never deleted, they are just moved out of view so re-sizing the table will bring the previously hidden cells back). step 4 Place the insertion point in the first cell by moving the Arrow pointer over it and clicking with the Selection button. Type Country and press the Tab key to move into the cell on the right. Type Time and then press Tab again to move your insertion point to the beginning of the next row. Using this process of 'type then tab' to move between cells, type the following information: London(tab) GMT(tab) Los Angeles(tab) 0400(tab) Madrid(tab) 1300(tab) Mexico City(tab) 0600(tab) Montreal(tab) 0700(tab) If you press Tab once too many and move into the wrong cell, press Shift- Tab to go back to the previous cell. Page 131 step 5 Now there is a table with data in it, the cells need to be formatted. Move the insertion point to the first cell (containing Country), by clicking the Selection button in it and choose "Select All" command (Edit menu). Choose Font (Format menu), select "Bright Blue" from the Text pop-up gadget (Colour group) and select the Bold check box. Click OK and the selected text in the cell will change to the new style. Choose Paragraph (Format menu) and select Centre from the Justification pop-up gadget. Repeat the same process with the cell to the right containing the word Time. step 6 Move the insertion point to the cell which contains "Mexico City" and choose Tables (Format menu). From this requester you can insert or delete rows or columns. @{" Figure 8-22 Tables requester " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-22"} Select the "Insert After" radio button, ensure that the Row radio button is selected and click OK. The row containing Montreal will be moved off the table as a new row below "Mexico City" has been added. Page 132 step 7 Now move the insertion point to the blank row and choose Tables (Format menu). Select Delete and Row from the radio buttons, type 2 into the "How Many" text gadget and then click Ok. The blank row and the row containing Montreal have been deleted, and a new blank row has appeared after "Mexico City". When inserting and deleting columns, Before means 'to the left of the current column' and After means 'to the right of the current column'. step 8 With the insertion point in the last empty cell, choose Calculate (Tools menu). Select Average and "Cells Above" radio buttons to produce an average of all the cells above the insertion point (that is, all of the Times). @{" Figure 8-23 Calculating cells " system "ps ww3_2:fig8-23"} Click OK and the result is placed in the cell which contains the insertion point.

This tutorial shows you how to customise Wordworth for the way you wish to work. @endnode @node 9.1.1 9.1.1 REQUESTER FONTS There are two fonts used in the requesters. These are the gadget labels (which are the names given to each gadget); and the gadget group headings (which are the label headings for a group of gadgets). step 1 Choose "Change Settings" command (Settings menu) and select Screen from the list gadget. On the bottom of the "Screen Settings" requester there is a group titled Fonts. From this requester you can specify the fonts that Wordworth uses. Click the "Select" button to the right of the "Requester Headings" read- only gadget, and from the font requester that appears, choose one of the fonts from the list. Click OK and you will be returned to the "Screen Settings" requester where the name of the font you have chosen now appears in the read-only gadget. Follow the same procedure for the "Requester Gadgets" option. Page 137 @{" Figure 9-1 Selecting required fonts " system "ps ww3_3:fig9-1"} step 2 Select the "Screen Blanker" check box gadget and type 5 into the Delay text gadget. This will tell Wordworth that after a delay of 5 minutes, the screen is to be blanked. Blanking a screen is used to prevent 'burn-in' of a stationary image on your monitor if unattended for a period of time. Click OK and your changes will take affect. @endnode @node 9.1.2 9.1.2 SCREEN COLOURS The eight colours that Wordworth uses for its screen display can also be changed. These colours are used for the icons, window and page display. step 1 From the "Change Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu) select "Screen Colours" from the list gadget.

Page 138 @endnode @node 9.1.3 9.1.3 TOOLBAR You can also customise the Wordworth toolbar in several ways: * The commands (icons) displayed in the toolbar. * The size of the icons. * The position of the toolbar on the screen. step 1 From the "Change Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu) select Toolbar from the list gadget. @{" Figure 9-2 Toolbar requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig9-2"} The Commands list gadget on the left of the requester contains a list of all the commands that can be placed on the toolbar. The Toolbar list on the right shows the commands currently chosen for display in the toolbar. Move down the Commands list using the scroll arrows and select the Librarian command. Click the » button, and the selected command will appear at the bottom of the Toolbar list. Next, click the "Move Up" button to move the command up the list to the place where you wish it to appear on your toolbar. Page 139 step 2 Select the Cut command from the Toolbar list and click the « button to remove it from the toolbar. Click the Apply button and your toolbar will be updated with the changes. step 3 From the Position pop-up list gadget, select Floating. This means that your toolbar will appear in an independent "floating" window which can be moved around the screen like any other window. @{" Figure 9-3 Moving the floating toolbar " system "ps ww3_3:fig9-3"} Now, select the "Large Icons" checkbox gadget and click Apply. When you are satisfied with your changes, click OK @endnode @node 9.1.4 9.1.4 GUIDES AND RULERS You can specify whether the page guides are displayed or not using "Show Guides" (View menu). The Ruler tools are toggled on/off using the Rulers command (View menu). step 1 Choose "Change Settings"' (Settings menu) and select View from the list gadget to display the "View Settings" requester.

Choosing the Rulers command again will turn the ruler display back on. Page 141 @endnode @node 9.2 9.2 GETTING WORDWORTH TO GO FASTER Wordworth can be optimised in many ways to both speed up display and save precious memory. Use the Workbench-"Close Workbench' command (Settings menu) to save about 40K of memory. This will shut down the Workbench desktop that usually remains open behind the Wordworth screen. Choose "Change Settings" (Settings menu) and from the list gadget, select Screen. Click the "Screen Mode, button and from the "Screen Mode' requester decrease the Colours slider from 8 to 4 by clicking to the left of the small black box once. Click OK and the display will appear in 4 colours which saves memory and improves speeds. Turn off "Ruler Tools, and "Vertical Ruler" from the "View Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu) will improve the editing speed of documents. Select the "Use Less Memory" check box in the "Screen Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu). This will save a lot of memory by making the windows used in Wordworth" simple refresh, instead of 'smart refresh'. A "simple refresh" window is updated (redrawn) by Wordworth instead of the operating system and therefore will be more memory efficient. However, doing this will make the redrawing of the windows slower. Page 142 @endnode @node 10 CHAPTER TEN WORDWORTH UPGRADES This chapter is for users of earlier versions of Wordworth. It will tell you what's changed without going over features you'll already know. Page 143 This page empty Page 144 @endnode @node 10.1 10.1 WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT WORDWORTH 3 Many of the changes in Wordworth 3 have resulted from Usability analysis (discovery of faults in interface and so on), requests by users ( through our regular questionnaires), and through the introduction of "Interface Guidelines" by Commodore. @endnode @node 10.1.1 10.1.1 REQUESTERS The most instantly noticeable change in Wordworth 3 are the requesters. Wordworth now uses Workbench standard windows and gadgets for all of its requesters. This means that, like other Workbench windows, you can minimize them using the "Window Zoom" gadget, you can move them around the screen using the "Window Drag (Title) Bar" and you can send them to the back or bring them in front of any other window with the "Window Depth Gadget". You can even customise the fonts used in the windows. From the "Screen Setting" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu), you can set the fonts for gadget labels, group headings, and window title bars (the same as those used in the menus). Some requesters, like Find, - Insert and Object Information, can remain on the screen whilst you carry on editing the document. Requesters like these are termed 'Modeless' and are a relatively new idea in Amiga software. @{" Figure 10-1 Modeless requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig10-1"} Page 145 @endnode @node 10.1.2 10.1.2 CUSTOMISATION Wordworth 3 is highly customisable. Unlike previous versions, you can decide what commands you want on the toolbar, what size you Would like the icons and where on the screen you would like it positioned. Refer Toolbar- "Change Settings" command (Settings menu). @endnode @node 10.1.3 10.1.3 KEYBOARD The keyboard modifier keys have changed to incorporate the guidelines laid down by Commodore. The keys and their functions are now. KEY DOES Shift-Arrow key Selects text Ctrl-Arrow key Moves to beginning/end of line/document Alt-Arrow key Moves to beginning/end of word/page The new modifier keys are now the default. However, if you prefer to use the keys you used in the previous version of Wordworth, choose Text- "Change Settings" command (Settings menu) and select the radio button "Old Wordworth Modifier Keys". IMPORTANT ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It is a good idea to start adopting the new keyboard commands as these will be the only standard supported in future versions of Wordworth and other Digita software. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- @endnode @node 10.1.4 10-1-4 MENUS The menu structure and keyboard shortcuts have been changed to follow the Commodore guidelines as much as possible. This is to make it easier for you to use Wordworth, as it provides a familiar interface to that of other programs following the guidelines. @endnode @node 10.1.5 10.1.5 OUTLINE FONTS The Agfa font technology in Wordworth 3 is slightly different than before, to incorporate the new font support and also make it easier for floppy disk users to use fonts across separate disks. If you want to use the fonts that you already have, tell the InstallOutlines program to look in a different place for the fonts (Floppy Disk Users: WwTools drawer, Ww3 Extras disk. Hard Disk Users:WwTools drawer, Wordworth3). Page 146 For example, if you have Wordworth V2AGA in an Apps drawer on your hard disk Work, you will need to tell the installer the path to the Intellifont drawer. Click the InstallOutlines program with the Selection button and choose information (Workbench-Icons menu). Click the tooltype starting FONTPATH=... and delete the brackets. Replace the text following the equals sign with the path to your Intellifont drawer. In this example, the path would be FONTPATH = Work:Apps/ Wordworth2/Intellifont (with no spaces). Press the Return key and click Save. When you double-click the lnstallOutlines program, the fonts in your Wordworth v2 Intellifont drawer will be installed for use with Wordworth 3. The InstallOutlines program will create small files called .font and .otag for each of the fonts installed and place them in the WwFonts/UFST drawer. These small files contain the location of the font so that Wordworth knows where to look for them. This means that you can have fonts scattered around your hard disk or on several floppy disks by just re-running InstallOutlines with the tooltype appropriately changed. You can also use the same procedure to tell Wordworth where to look for the PostScript and TrueType fonts.

Pages: If selected, you can then type a page range into the adjacent text gadget. Type a single page number, or for a range of pages, type two numbers separated by a hyphen (for example, 2-6, prints pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Copies: Type the number of copies for each page. Options Print: Select "Odd And Even Pages", "Odd Pages Only", "Even Pages Only". This is useful if using single (cut) sheet which are to be printed on both sides. Print all the odd pages first, then turn the paper over, to print all the even pages in reverse order on the other side. Page 158 Shade: Select the print shading method, depending on your printer SHADE DOES Black And White Prints fonts and graphics as either solid black or white Colour Prints colours if you have a colour printer Grey Scale 1 One style of grey scaling to represent the colours used on the screen Grey Scale 2 One style of grey scaling to represent the colours used on the screen (used for CBM A2O24 monitors only) Draft Printout: Prints the document in the quickest possible method which is ideal for printing proofs. Collate Copies: Determines the method of printing multiple copies of a document. For example, if you wanted to print 10 copies of a five-page document, selecting Collate will print from page one to page five l0 times, whereas if Collate is not selected it will print l0 copies of page one, then l0 copies of page two, and so on. Reverse Order: Prints pages from the highest page number to the lowest. This is for printers which stack cut sheets automatically while printing (for example, laser printers), so that on completion the lowest page number will be on the top of the stack. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRINT REQUESTER ARE THREE BUTTONS Print: Prints using the settings in the "Print Setup" requester. Setup: Selects the "Print Setup" requester (see "Print Setup" command, Project menu). Cancel: Cancels this requester. Page 159 @endnode @node 11.1.8 11.1.8 PRINT SETUP Choose "Print Setup" command (Project menu) or Right Amiga-Shift-P. Shows a requester from which you can setup your printer: @{" Figure 11-7 'Print Setup' requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig11-7"} Use the list box "Printer Driver" to select the printer driver required. (The Generic driver will only print text. Formatting of text and graphics are discarded. ) Density: Sets the printer resolution for printing. Set the density from 1 (lowest density), which is ideal for a quick draft print, to 7 (highest density). At higher densities, more dots are used to create the image which gives a better quality reproduction, but takes much longer to print. When printing a colour graphic you may need to set the density quite low as the colours can become muddy on higher densities (refer Appendix C-Pictures And Clip Art"). PRINT BORDERS Some printers have a border around the page edge which is unprintable (this is common with most printers, there is always an unprintable area around the page because it is used by the printer rollers to pull the paper through). However, if you are using "Paper Type"-Continuous, it is not necessary to set a print border. Page 160 The four edit gadgets (Left, Right, Top Bottom) are for specifying this unprintable area. For example, if you use a Citizen Swift printer, you may need to set Left and Right to 0.25 inches, Top to 0.5 and Bottom to 0.75 inches-this stops the page being ejected before printing the footer. If you experience problems like this with printing, consult your printer manual for more information about the unprintable area so that you can set your own "Print Border". PRINT METHOD When you set the print method (the default is Normal), Wordworth only lets you use fonts which are compatible with the setting (this prevents the accidental mixing of incompatible fonts). PRINT METHOD FONTS YOU CAN USE Normal Agfa Compugraphic, Adobe PostScript, TrueType and bitmap (with graphics or pictures). Printer Font Internal printer fonts (no graphics or pictures). PostScript Only for use with expensive PostScript laser printers. Uses the internal fonts of a Type 1 PostScript printer (with graphics or pictures). Text not typed using PostScript fonts will be printed in Courier, with coloured text printed in grey. (Refer Appendix E- PostScript Printers.) If you change the print method while editing a document, an alert box will warn you that there are incompatible fonts in the document. If this happens, click Yes and the fonts in the document will be automatically converted into the correct format. PAPER TYPE Continuous: Prints pages on continuous stationery, without pausing, and ignores "Print Border" settings. Cut Sheet: Pauses printing at the end of each page. If necessary, an alert box will prompt you to insert the paper for each page, Uses "Print Border" settings. If you have a 24-pin printer, you may find that only 16 of the 24 pins are used for printing. Page 161 Sheet Feeder: Prints single sheets without pausing, and uses "Print Border" settings. Select this option if you are using a laser printer or the printer is fitted with an automatic cut-sheet feeder. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRINT SETUP REQUESTER ARE THREE BUTTONS OK: Confirms the settings made in the requester. PostScript: Selects the "PostScript Setup" requester if you have set the "Print Method" to PostScript (refer Appendix E-PostScript Printers for information about PostScript). Cancel: Cancels the settings made in the requester. @endnode @node 11.1.9 11.1.9 MAIL MERGE Choose "Mail Merge" command (Project menu) to mail merge.

You can do this in two ways: * Place the insertion point at the desired place. * Block select the desired text in the document. step 1 Select "List Entry" (Insert command, Edit menu), or press Left-Alt F7. @{" Figure 11-12 'Insert List Entry' requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig11-12"} The Lists box at the top of the requester shows lists that have already been defined in the document. Either click the list name (for example, Table of Contents) to which the entry should be added, or type a new name into the Name text gadget to create a new list. Page 171 step 2 Type the name of the entry into the gadget titled Text (for example, Chapter One). Then click insert. The list entry is inserted into the document, marked by a special character code in front of the entry. (This character can be viewed by choosing "Show Codes" command, View menu). The list entry character may be deleted like any other to delete the entry from the list. When inserting list entries, up to seven sublevel may also be specified, (for example, Chapter One - Space would be level 1,1.1 The Great Astronomers would be level 2, and so on). If you wish to make another entry at the same level as one already present in the list, select it from the "List Entries" gadget. This makes it easier to insert entries at the current level, if you forget which level your entry should be inserted. @endnode @node 11.2.10.10 11.2.10.10 Insert Index Entry (or press Left Alt-F8) An index is created by marking the words or entries that you want. You then use the "Create Index" command (Tools menu) which compiles all of the entries into an index at the end of a document (preceded by a page break). MARKING INDEX ENTRIES First you should mark index entries in the document. There are two ways to do this: * Place the insertion point at the desired place. * Block select the desired text in the document. Either select "Index Entry" (Insert command, Edit menu) and type the name of the index entry in the "Main Entry" text box (for example, Space), or block select the index entry in the document and then select "Index Entry" (Insert command, Edit menu). Click Insert to insert the index entry at the insertion point in the document. The index entry will be marked in the document by a special character. This character can be viewed by choosing "Show Codes" command (View menu) and can be deleted like any other, to delete the entry from the index. Index entries may be designated as "Main Entries" or Subentries. Page 172 For example, Astronomers and Planets Would be subentries of the main entry, Space. To add the word Astronomers as a subentry in the index, type Space in the "Main Entry" text gadget and then type Astronomers into "First Subentry". @{" Figure 11-13 'Insert Index Entry' requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig11-13"} To add Planets as another subentry of Space, select Space from the list and then type Planets into the "First Subentry' text gadget. When the index is created, the subentries are displayed under their Main entry heading. In the previous example the index would appear like this: Space Astronomers 23 Planets 15 If you want to index all the occurrences of a particular word throughout the document, just insert one index entry and select the "Include All Other Occurrences" check box (you can exclude specific occurrences by selecting the "Exclude This Occurrence" check box). Page 173 For example, if you have Galileo four times in a document (pages 1, 4, 7 and 12), insert an index entry at the first occurrence (page 1 ), and select "Include All Other Occurrences". To exclude the occurrence on page 7, select Galileo on page 7, and insert an index entry with "Exclude This Occurrence" selected. The "Insert index entry" requester shows all the index entries currently inserted. Subentries are displayed beneath their main entries. You can add a second level of subentry to Space, as a subentry of Astronomers. To do this, click Astronomers (the Main and "First Subentry" text gadgets are automatically filled with the correct titles, in this example Space and Astronomers), and type Aristotle in the "Second Subentry" text gadget. @endnode @node 11.2.10.11 11.2.10.11 Endnote (or press Left Alt-F6) This places an automatically numbered note number at the insertion point, after which the insertion point will move to the endnote section at the end of the document. Choose Endnote (Insert command, Edit menu) to insert an endnote at the end of the document. Type the endnote and then press Alt-Esc to return to your original place in the document. @endnode @node 11.2.10.12 11.2.10.12 Bookmark (or press Left Alt-F9). Bookmarks are used as place markers in long documents which you can insert and then jump to at the click of the mouse. They make jumping from one area of the document to another very easy. Choose Bookmark (insert command, Edit menu) to insert a bookmark at the insertion point. Type a name for the bookmark in the text box and click Insert. Page 174 @{" Figure 11-14 'Insert Bookmark' requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig11-14"} If you use the "Show Codes" command (View menu), you will be able to see the bookmarks represented as small rectangles in the text. The bookmark characters can be deleted like any other to delete the bookmark entry from the document. You can jump to any bookmark using the "Go To" command (Edit menu). Double-click the bookmark references which appears in the list on the "Go To" requester (to jump to the last inserted Bookmark press Alt-Esc). Bookmarks are saved automatically with documents. Page 175 @endnode @node 11.2.10.13 11.2.10.13 Symbol (or press Left Alt-F1) This option allows you to insert any character for the current typeface into your document (by clicking it) at the insertion point.

If consecutive paragraphs need formatting select from anywhere in the first paragraph to anywhere in the last paragraph. A paragraph is recognised as being from the character immediately following a return character up to and including the next return character. The return character is typed by pressing the Return key. SPACING Before: Sets the amount of space before a paragraph. Select Auto or type a custom size (in points). After: Sets the amount of space after a paragraph. Select Auto Or type a custom size (in points). Page 182 Line Height: Sets the height of the line. SETTING DOES Auto Automatically proportionally to the current type size, giving line space equal to the type size). Loose Provides extra space to accommodate for accents on foreign characters. 6 LPI Use with printer fonts. Line spacing equal to a pica typewriter's single line spacing. LPI (lines per inch) is the most common method used to measure line spacing on typewriters and word processors. Six lines per inch is often referred to as pica and is equivalent to 12 point line spacing. 8 LPI Use with printer fonts. Line spacing equal to an elite typewriter's single line spacing. Eight lines per inch is often referred to as elite. Custom Type a specific value in points. IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When using the "Print Method-Printer Font", make sure that the line spacing is set to 6 lpi or 8 lpi, paragraph spacing 0 and single line spacing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Line Spacing: Single (proportional to the current type size), Double (proportional to the current type size, but giving line space equal to twice the type size), 1½ (proportional to the current type size, but giving line space equal to one-and-one-half the type size). INDENTATION Left: Indent (set in) from the left margin. First Line: Indent the first line from the left indent. The indent can be set to a negative value provided the Left is equal to or greater than the negative "First Line". For example, in this paragraph, the Left indent is set to 2 cm and "First Line" to -2 cm, the first line is set to the left margin and successive lines are indented by 2 cm. This is called a 'hanging indent'. Right: Indent from the right margin. Page 183 FORMATTING Justification: JUSTIFY DOES Left Aligned to left indent, but remain ragged on right side Right Aligned to right indent, but remain ragged on left side Centred Centred within indents, ragged on both left and right sides Full Aligned to both left and right indents by placing extra discretional spaces between words ensuring each line length is identical. Sometimes, with short line length and several long words, the word spacing may become too large. If this happens, select "Allow Hyphenation" to reduce the word Spacing Keep Lines Together: Forces all paragraphs that are broken by a column or page break, onto the next page or column, keeping the whole paragraph together (a basic form of "widows and orphans"). Allow Hyphenation: lets you control the individual paragraph hyphenation when the Hyphenation command (Settings menu) is selected. @endnode @node 11.4.3 11.4.3 TABS Choose Tabs command (Format menu). As tabs are paragraph related, it is not necessary to select the whole paragraph but just place the insertion point anywhere within the paragraph. If the tabs are to be applied to consecutive paragraphs, select from anywhere in the first paragraph to anywhere in the last paragraph. To select the entire document, choose "Select All" command (Settings menu). A paragraph is recognised as a block of text from the character immediately following a return character up to and including the next return character (the return character is generated by pressing the Return key). Often tabulised text can be a series of single lines each ending with a return character and so each line is considered to be a paragraph. Page 184 @{" Figure 11-19 Tabs requester " system "ps ww3_3:fig11-19"} There are four tab styles: Left, Right, Centred and Decimal. Left aligning Text starts at tab position and flows right. Right aligning Text starts at tab position and flows left. The right- most character will always be at the tab position, preceding text coming from the left. If the space between the tab character and the actual tab position is filled by text, then any extra text typed in will start to flow to the right of the tab. Centre aligning Text starts at tab position and flows equally to the left and right, leaving the text centred around the tab position. Decimal aligning Used for columns of figures which include decimal points (for example, 2.4, 567.1, 45.843). Figures will align so that the decimal points automatically align one above the other. The character used as the decimal point may be set from the "Text Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu). Page 185 To place a tab at a required position on the ruler, first Click New and use the radio buttons to select the tab style you want. Type the position of the tab in the Position text gadget and press the Return key. The tab will appear in the "Defined Tabs" list. Tabs can be deleted from the list by selecting the tab and clicking Delete. To edit a tab, select it from the list and change its style or position using the appropriate gadgets. Default Tabs: This sets the spacing interval of the default tabs (left justified style) from the zero position on the ruler. They are shown on the ruler as short horizontal lines. The default tab interval (for example, 1 inch, 3 cms), is based on the measurement, which is selected from the "View Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu). Fill Character: This sets the padding character for all tabs in the paragraph(s). You can use spaces, or any other characters like dashes or dots. The tab settings will then appear on the horizontal ruler between the top of the document and ruler calibration. @endnode @node 11.4.4 11.4.4 DOCUMENT Choose Document command (Format menu).

Although every effort has been made to make Wordworth as easy to use as possible, with SO many different configurations of Amiga hardware, software, and peripherals, and new products appearing monthly, there may be important information in the READ.ME document which affects you. You would be amazed at some of the letters we receive. For example: Dear Digita. I recently purchased Wordworth for my computer and am very pleased with it. When printing an extra blank page is used. This is very annoying. Yours sincerely. This letter fails to fully describe the problem, which means we can't help you. If you need to write to us, follow this example: Dear Digita, I recently purchased Wordworth for mu Amiga, my licence number is 9826364. My computer system comprises an Amiga A1200, with a 4mb expansion, second disk drive and a Hewlet Packard Deskjet 500 Plus printer. I am using version 3 of workbench and Wordworth 3. When printing a document, after each page printed an extra blank sheet is fed through the printer. I have enclosed a sample of the document on disk together with a sample print out. I hope the above will be sufficient for you to find a solution, if You require any further information my day time number is 0395 270273. Yours sincerely Page 241 It also helps to give a clear explanation. Offending document was provided on disk, with a printed copy, which gives us a clear understanding of the problem. A day time number was provided, which means, in exceptional circumstances, we can telephone if we need Further information, or the solution could be explained better verbally. It would really help us to help you if you could follow these steps if you need to contact us for help: @endnode @node a1 WHEN TELEPHONING Telephone support is available to registered users from 11 AM until 5PM. Simply call 0*91 61 6 944. Calls are charged at 36p per minute cheap rate and 48p per minute at all other tines. Be sure to ask permission of the telephone owner before calling. 1. Have the following information available: * Wordworth license number (you won't get support without it). * Amiga system (model, amount of memory, and so on). * Workbench version. * Wordworth version (refer About command, Project menu). 2. Have your Amiga near the telephone and make sure you are able to reproduce the problem. Page 242 @endnode @node a2 WHEN WRITING 1. As above. 2. Give as much information as possible. Explain the fault in detail, don't rely on us remembering the telephone conversation. 3. Enclose a Copy of the document that is giving problems, together with a Copy of the WordworthPrefs file on disk. This file is found on your WordWorth3 disk (or in your Wordworth3 drawer on your hard disk) and should be dragged onto the floppy disk icon you are sending us. If it's a printer problem, enclose printouts. 4. Check your disks for viruses before sending them. It is totally irresponsible to send Computer disks without checking for viruses. 5. Unless specifically requested, do not send the instruction book and packaging.

Most of us concentrated on avoiding typing mistakes-keeping the style as simple as possible. With modern-day word processors like Wordworth, the possibilities are endless! Facilities such as the spelling checkers, glossary, spacing text back, and editing allow you to produce perfect documents. And so, with the basics taken care of, let us consider the cosmetic aspects of the letter itself-what it actually looks like on the page. One of the major advantages of Wordworth is that during the editing process, the WYSIWYG screen shows exactly how a printed document will look, including multiple fonts, styles and point sizes, graphics and so on. Choosing a type style, type size, leading and so on are described in a later section in this chapter, "Typography". @endnode @node b1 SIMPLE GUIDELINES Style-when you print your document, is it visually appealing? As you get to know Wordworth, you will discover a vast selection of text formatting facilities. It is possible to mix a variety of type styles and sizes on one page, but remember, simplicity is the modem trend. These facilities are designed to give you flexibility and control over your document, but try to resist the temptation to experiment mixing too many styles on one page. You will find good examples of getting the mix right in daily newspapers or magazines. Some people, unable to write sentences which impress, arouse curiosity or create interest, think that CAPITAL LETTERS or varying type styles substitute for skilful writing. They are wrong! Type style effects may not attract special attention, and can give a letter an unbalanced appearance. During the 1940's when there was a paper shortage, words were crammed on to pages to save paper. This does not apply today, and a sheet of paper overflowing with words is as hard to digest as an over-will plate of food. All documents should have a picture frame appearance, the typescript representing the picture, and the white rectangular surround, the picture mounting. On an A4 sheet, the side margins should be about 1 inch, and proportionally less for smaller sheets of paper. Page 245 MAKE SURE YOUR LETTER IS REALLY GOOD LOOKING! You may wish to instill a little individuality into your correspondence. Try using a larger left margin. Most letters are all left-justified, take a look at the following Pages which show variations on a basic letter style. @endnode @node b2 TITLE A person's name and title is one of their proudest possessions, and so make sure you get it right. Mr or Esq-An esquire was originally a squire or shield bearer, or a knight's attendant. It was a title of dignity, ranking just below that of a knight. The word is now a title of respect when used for addressing letters. Both writers and recipients obviously still like to believe that they are esquire, and not just plain misters. The choice is yours, but you should note that Mr is the correct form of address. Miss, Mrs or Ms: If you know their correct title, use it. If not, Ms is the correct Form of address. @endnode @node b3 WORDS Never use a long word if a short one makes for equal clarity. Some people use long words, believing that they imply good education and a knowledge of semantics. Never use a long word if a short one makes for equal clarity. Some people use long words, believing that they imply good education and a knowledge of semantics. Mark Twain wrote: "I never write metropolis when I can get paid the same sum for city." Some people love words and take endless trouble in selecting the exact word for the occasion. If you are a perfectionist, or just want to be an outstandingly good writer, use Wordworth's thesaurus. It will help you to find the exact word you want. For example, you might write: Wordworth is wonderful. But would any of these be more apt: extraordinary, marvellous, remarkable, superb. Fowler gave this advice: "Anyone who wishes to become a good writer should endeavour, before he allows himself to be tempted by more showy qualities, to be direct, simple, brief, vigorous, and lucid. Prefer the familiar Word to the far-fetched. Prefer the concrete word to the abstract. Prefer the single word to the circumlocution. Prefer the short word to the long. Prefer the Saxon Word to the Romance." Page 246 @endnode @node b4 SPELLING Wordworth's spelling checker will check your misspellings, but look out for wrongful use of similar sounding words.

Avoid Latin abbreviations in particular: ABBREVIATION REPLACE WITH etc. and so on, and others, and so forth e.g. for example i.e. that is et al and others @endnode @node b6 TYPEFACES With the introduction of computers into printing processes another leap forward has been achieved. Programs like Wordworth can show the typeface and style on the screen while typing in the text, removing the guess-work from using typefaces as designer tools. Large numbers of typefaces can be stored on a computer for immediate use: large, bold styles for emphasis, fancy styles to convey a feeling of finesse. For example, it would not be appropriate to use the typeface Emerald for a builders' merchant where a feeling of strength is required. Page 247 Just as Topaz bold would not seem quite right for a fine art dealer. For company reports, statements of account and other long documents consisting mainly of text, the typeface needs to be chosen for legibility. Some typefaces can be very effective where display emphasis is required, but can be very difficult to read when used for large block of text. So the choice of typeface is therefore very important for the size of the document being produced. Although there are many type styles available on modern computer-based word processing and desktop publishing systems, they can be broken down into various groups. The three main groups are serif, sans serif and script styles: * A serif is the small extra cross-stroke on the ends of the lines describing the characters. It is a traditional style and offers good legibility with a more conservative appearance. Times is perhaps the best known and was developed for The Times newspaper where legibility in a variety of sizes had to be combined with a fairly compact format to get as much text as reasonably possible in a overall design of the type style, from Times with a relatively fine serf to Rockwell with its bold slab serif. Courier is very similar to a conventional typewriter style but still has a serif and so is included in this group. Times in this example: * Sans serf (sans coming from the French word meaning "without") does not have these extra strokes. These styles are more modern yet still offer good legibility. Because of their open, uncluttered nature, and the evenness of the lines forming the style, they maintain a good appearance at any size or style. Page 248 Helvetica in this example: * Script style covers perhaps the largest range of all. It includes classic copperplate script (often called Palace Script) and modern fancy styles such as Emerald and Garnet, even calligraphic styles such as Sapphire (sometimes called German Text or Old English). Script styles tend to be used for main display lines only. Because of their fancy nature they can be very eye-catching where just a few words are used in a large size. Although the legibility of these styles tends to be reduced by their intricacy, their use in a large size will overcome this and so emphasis is maintained. If used too small or in too great a quantity the lack of legibility will cause people to skip over the text as it becomes too difficult to read. Palace Script in this example: @endnode @node b7 TYPE SIZE AND LINE SPACING When typing in a display format for leaflets, cover pages, etc., where there will be few words but emphasis is required, a change of type size can be used instead of changing the typeface. The major consideration when using type sizes in a display situation is to prioritise which lines need most emphasis. It is often useful to write numbers to represent the priority of each line, 1 for the highest priority, 2 for the next, and so on. In this way it is easier to assess the overall effect of various type sizes on the whole document before actually typing the words. The advantage of modern WYSIWYG ("What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get") sytems like Wordworth is being able to see all the type styles and size on the screen, as they will appear on the final printout, and being able to alter the formatting information to see what effect it will have on the overall display, without having to continually print test sheets. Page 249 When typing in long documents consisting mainly of text like company reports, books or long letters, the need for emphasis is less important than achieving a consistent and legible format throughout the whole document. A type size must be chosen that will keep the number of pages to a minimum to reduce the print time, but consideration must be given to the legibility of the text. If a small type size is used over a long line length, it is very much harder to read-think of those terms and Conditions on the back of so many orders and invoices. The human eye has great difficulty in returning from the end of a long line of small text to the beginning of the next, all too easily skips one or more lines. It is then necessary to re-read the end of the previous line to see if text has been missed. If a small type size is required it may be beneficial to increase the left and right margin settings so decreasing the line length slightly to make the lines "scan" more easily. Printers use the "points" system of measurement to define type sizes and line spacing. This is a regression to the very early metal type. Originally, each size was denoted by a name rather than a measurement, but, as mechanisation took over the composition of text, these sizes needed to be defined exactly so that all machines would be able to use all manufactured type. The system of measurement which evolved is based on a unit the point which is 1/72 of an inch. The other major unit in this system is the pica (pronounced "pie-car"), which is 1/6 of an inch, giving six picas to the inch. The standard typewriter sizes of pica and elite originate from the early days of type when the sizes were known by names. Pica is generally considered to be 12 point type size, and elite 9 point size. @{" Figure B-1 Type sizes " system "ps ww3_3:figb-1"} Page 250 This also relates to the line spacing. Pica (12 point type) single line spaced is 6 lines to the inch (72 divided by 12), whereas Elite (9 point type size) single spaced is 8 lines to the inch (72 divided by 9). Although the unit of 1/72 of an inch may seem an unusual one, with usage it is effective. One point difference is small enough to provide fine adjustment yet not become cumbersome, and large enough to still show a definite difference in size and so emphasis. The measurement of a type size is taken from the top of a capital letter to the bottom of a descending letter, like 'y' or 'g,' and not just the height of a capital letter. @{" Figure B-2 Positions of type alignment " system "ps ww3_3:figb-1"} Another very important factor in the appearance of any document is the line spacing-the spacing from the base of one line of text to the base of the next line. Note that the measurement should be taken from one base (the bottom of a capital letter, the line on which all characters except descenders should sit), to the base of the next line. This means that, if using a custom measurement in points rather than 6 or 8 lines to the inch, or Auto, the line spacing must be equal to or greater than the type size. If 13 point type size is being used then custom line spacing should be set to at least 13 or the lines will overlap one another and become illegible (refer Paragraph command, Format menu). Page 251 @{" Figure B-3 Line spacing " system "ps ww3_3:figb-3"} Line spacing is referred to as "leading" (pronounced "LED-ing" ), which derives from early typesetting when strips of lead were placed between lines of metal type for spacing: Finally, you may wish to change the spacing between individual letters. This is called tracking. Adjusting tracking can reduce or increase the spacing between letters, which is particularly useful for headings (refer Font command, Format menu). Page 252 @{" Figure B-4 Tracking " system "ps ww3_3:figb-4"} The requirements of display and long text document setting are somewhat different. In display setting it is often thought necessary to fill the page with type, using large sizes and close spacing to cover as much of the paper as possible. This is usually counter-productive as the display will appear cramped and generally people do not tend to read it. Judicious use of "white space" (leaving space around lines) on commands of high priority can be much more effective as the line stands out more on its own, rather than being cramped by other text. It is much more likely to be read at a glance, gaining the reader's attention and encouraging them to study the rest of the information. In a long text document, the need for ease of reading is more important than emphasising particular lines. Just as a small type size can make the text harder to read, so tight line spacing can make it much more difficult to follow from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. Page 253 If a page of text looks like a solid black mass it becomes very hard to read because of the increased concentration needed to keep to the correct line and hence Concentration on the content is reduced. For large blocks of text a spacing of at least 10% (one tenth) more than the type size will make it easier to read. For example, if using the Auto leading options, use a 1.5 "Line Height" rather than Single; if using Custom line spacing with a type size of 12 point, make the spacing at least 14 to increase legibility. @endnode @node b8 MARGINS Margins are the spaces from the edge of a sheet of paper to the beginning of the text area on a page. The left and right margins set the length of the text line and so are important to the legibility and readability of the text. The amount of white space created by the margins is very important to the overall look of the page-too small margins make the page look cramped, too wide can substantially increase the number of pages and hence the amount of paper used and time taken to print out. Using 1.5 inch margins on an A4 page instead of 0.5 inch margins will decrease the text area by 20 per cent. Using one inch margins would therefore seem to be a reasonable combination of the needs of white space for appearance and maximum type area. Margins in Wordworth are set in Document command (Format menu) and Can take two formats, depending on whether or not 'Facing pages' and "Mirror Margins Onto Left Pages" have been selected. If selected, your left margin will become your right margin on left hand page (even page), and right margin will become the left hand margin on the even page. This is for a "book" format, where with a multi-page document each sheet of paper will be printed on both sides and opened out so viewing two pages at a time. The margins on the inside, where the two pages meet, may need to be wider than the margins on the outside edges, to accommodate holes for ring binding or staples. Page 254 In this case the left-hand pages will have a wide margin on the right (inside) edge for the binding and a narrower margin on the left (outside) edge. The right-hand page will be a mirror image of the left-hand page, having a wide margin on the left (inside) edge and a narrower margin on the right (outside) edge. @{" Figure B-5 Facing pages margins layout " system "ps ww3_3:figb-5"} If the document is to be perfect bound (by sticking a cover onto the spine and wrapping it around the document) or saddle stitched (printed as two pages on each side of the paper, folded in half and stapled on the fold) then the usual format is to make the inside margins narrower than the outside margins as, when the book is opened out flat, the two inside margins being side by side appear as one very wide margin between the two pages. If "Facing pages" is not selected, the layout will be "single page", where text will appear on only one side of the paper. As there is no longer a left and right-hand page of text, the margins need to be the same on all pages. All the pages can be considered right hand pages irrespective of the binding method. Page 255 @{" Figure B-6 Single page margins layout " system "ps ww3_3:figb-6"} When considering margins, remember the Header and Footer areas. The Top and Bottom margins are the distance from the top and bottom of the page to the main document text, and the Header and Footer margins are the distance from the top and bottom of the page to the header or footer text. @{" Figure B-7 Page margins with header and footer margins layout " system "ps ww3_3:figb-7"} Page 256 @endnode @node c 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.

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.) @endnode @node c2 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 @endnode @node d1 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). @endnode @node d2 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. @endnode @node d3 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.

The fonts and their location will be installed for use with Wordworth. @endnode @node d5 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 @endnode @node d6 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. @endnode @node d7 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 @endnode @node d8 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.

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. @endnode @node e2 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. @endnode @node e3 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 " system "ps ww3_3:fige-1"} 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 @endnode @node f1 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 @endnode @node f2 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 @endnode @node g1 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. @endnode @node g2 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 @endnode @node h 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. @endnode @node h1 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 @endnode @node h2 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 the General section First and then the specific topic (Installation, Fonts, Printing). @endnode @node j1 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. @endnode @node j2 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. @endnode @node j3 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. @endnode @node j4 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 @endnode @node tg 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.

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).
