The magic word, HotWireFaxFont, may appear many times in a document. Each time it is encountered by the cover-page generator, the current font is changed to whichever font the word HotWireFaxFont is in, and its kerning and geometry is set to that font's appropriate metrics. This font is used until the end of the coversheet or until another HotWireFaxFont magic word is encountered.
To
"preview" the coversheet template and your prototypes without the need
to print them you must move them to the subdirectory called covers
in the $HW_HOME directory. The coverpage files MUST have
the suffix of .ps or they will not be seen as coverpage. Once there,
start the HotWire program by entering HotWire on the command line.
From the main screen click on the Coversheet checkbox (it may already
have the label "Default.ps"). Select your coversheet from the list and
press the Preview button.
The coversheet generator replaces the following strings in the template: RECIPIENT, TO_FAX, FROM_FAX, FROM_VOICE, SENDER, DATE and PAGES. After the fields appear in the coversheet you may also have an unlimited number of lines with the single string @MERGE appearing at the beginning of each line. Each line containing the @MERGE symbol is replaced by one line of text from the Fax Body from the HotWire main screen if the Merge Text option is checked. An example follows:
====== Coversheet begins ======
HotWireFaxFont
To: RECIPIENT
Fax#: TO_FAX
Pages: PAGES
From: FROM
Date: DATE
HotWireFaxFont
Comments:
@MERGE
@MERGE
@MERGE
@MERGE
====== Coversheet ends ======
Entering the above text into a word processing document and then printing it to a file as PostScript output will generate a coversheet much like the Default.ps coversheet provided with the program. We have tested coversheets generated with WordPerfect and ApplixWare. As long as the output is PostScript Level 1, all text and graphics should appear as planned.
