********** Welcome to PageStream 2.1 Demo! *********** *** This is a functional demo of PageStream Desktop Publishing. It is however disabled in the save function and it will print on each printout a banner saying "PageStream Demo". *** Booting PageStream in different color/screen modes Like the documentation says for booting via a CLI, Pagestream can boot in various color and screen modes. To do this from the Workbench, you have to change the "Tool Types" of PageStream's program icon. the steps are: 1. Select on the PageStream program (remember selecting means only clicking once on the icon, whereas a double- click will load PageStream). 2. Go to the menu called "Workbench", and click on "INFO" A new window will open and in the middle look for "Tool Types" 3. Click your cursor on the line following "tool types" and you can edit the line to your liking. (Use the up/down arrows to see more options.) The available options are: SCREEN=Custom SCREEN=WorkBench (boots program in workbench screen and is limited to Wb's colors) COLORS=Two (2 color mode) COLORS=Four (4 color mode) COLORS=Eight (you get the idea) COLORS=Sixteen INTERLACE=Yes INTERLACE=No NOTE: You must follow the capitalization exactly as typed above! If you don't, it won't work! 4. Finally, click on the "Save" button in the lower left of screen to end. Now loading the program by double-clicking on it will boot with the new settings you have made. *** 1 megabyte Amiga Users As the power and sophistication of software increases so does program size.PageStream 2.0 is substantially larger (approximately 80k-100K larger than version 1.8), hence it will use more memory. Pagestream 2.0 will load and work in a 1 meg environment, but keep in mind that there will only be about 256k of memory left- over for you to open a document, edit it, and print it. Print times will increase, limitations as to the number and size of bit mapped IFF graphics that can be imported, are all a result of lower amounts of free memory. *** Keyboard Equivalents PageStream no longer uses the "Alt" key to perform program functions (example: ALT E was for Edit Coordinates). The "Alt" key is now used to access the characters of the upper 128 set. (PageStream supports a 256 character set, with the lower 128 being accessed via the normal keyboard. AaBbCc123!@# etc.) This has caused some minor changes in functions that used the ALT key. Macros used the ALT key to capture a key sequence. Now use the control key in place of the ALT key. Example: CTRL F1 (start capture) (enter key sequence to be captured) F1 (ends capture). *** IFFILBM.Driver (Beta) This is a print driver which allows you to print to disk a PageStream document (you must print pages separately) in standard IFF ILBM picture format. The page that was printed can then be Edited with any amiga paint program like Deluxe Paint III (Electronic Arts) or Digi Paint 3 (Newtek). Special Controls When using this printer driver its default is to print the bitmap in black and white. The driver can however print the bitmap in COLOR. To do this enter "COLOR" (without the " marks) in the Printer Control Field under Printer Configuration requester. See picture on page 10.5 of the manual. The Printer Control Field is labeled Special: *** Using Large Compugraphic Fonts When using very large Compugraphic fonts (around 100 points and up) some characters (depending on the charcter's size) will not print. This is a limitation in AGFA Compugraphic's font scaling code. While they have told us that this limitation will change in newer revisions of their code, we have no promises as to when. ****************************************************************************** ** ** ** VERY IMPORTANT: When installing v2.0 on a hard drive make sure that ** ** the first thing you do after you load the program for the first time ** ** is go into the "FONT MANAGER" and add ALL font paths (directories). ** ** ** ** If you use HD-Install that is included on this disk, there should be ** ** a total of five Paths that need to be "ADD"ed to the FONT MANAGER. ** ** ** ** The font manager should have these paths listed: ** ** ** ** EXAMPLE: Xxxxxx:PageStream2/PSFonts ** ** Xxxxxx:PageStream2/PSFonts/CSTimes ** ** Xxxxxx:PageStream2/PSFonts/CSTriumvirate ** ** Xxxxxx:PageStream2/PSFonts/Garamond ** ** Xxxxxx:PageStream2/PSFonts/PGSFonts ** ** ** ** Where Xxxxxx is your hard disk partition (dh0:,Work:, etc.) ** ** ** ******************************************************************************
