~filter.hlp
EDIT CHARACTER FILTER

    This parameter allows you to
tailor the conversion by replacing
a specific character ( or
characters ) found in the source
document with any character in the
converted document.

    This option is useful when the
destination word processor does not
contain characters supported by the
source word processor.

    Values under the "input code"
column are fixed, and represent
characters in the source document.
Values under the "convert to"
column are the actual replacement
characters.  These are the only
values that can be changed. Use the
up or down arrows to scroll through
the characters.  Use the left or
right arrows to move between each
column.  A character can be changed
either by entering the new char-
acter or by entering the number
associated with the new character.

    To retain the changes press the
F3 key.  To exit without changes
press the ESC key.
~fntfltr.hlp
EDITING THE TYPESTYLE FILTER

     The typestyle filter allows
you to substitute typestyles from
the original document with any
supported typestyle in the conver-
ted document.  This can be
beneficial when the word processor
you are converting to doesn't
support the same typestyles (fonts)
that the original word processor
supports.

     The top window displays the
list of options.  The middle left
column displays typestyles sup-
ported by the original word
processor.  The middle right
column displays the list of
corresponding typestyles supported
by the word processor to which you
are converting.  (This is the
default translation).  The bottom
window displays a list of the
typestyles from which you select.

     To substitute a typestyle, use
the DOWN ARROW key to move the
cursor to highlight the original
typestyle.  Use the F2 key to move
between the middle and bottom
windows.  With the ARROW keys,
highlight the typestyle you wish
to substitute for the original
typestyle (the original meaning
the value in the middle right
column).  Use the F3 key to
select it as the new typestyle
you will be converting to.

     To save changes, choose F10.
To exit without saving changes,
choose ESC.

~autodir.hlp
AUTOMATIC DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE

    Use this option to quickly scan the
contents of a directory and identify
documents to add to the queue.

    Enter the directory name (with complete
path).

    To add documents to the queue:

    1) Highlight the document name by moving
the cursor to it.
    2) Press RETURN to add the highlighted
document to the queue.

    When through selecting documents from
this directory, press ESC.


~at.hlp
AUTO TRANSLATION

There are no parameters for this
option.
~center.hlp
CHECK FOR CENTERED LINES

    When this parameter is set to
YES, the software generates a Line
Center control code in the
translated document each time a
line in the document is centered
between the columns determined to
be the left and right margins.

    When set at NO, the software
does not check for centering.  A
blank area preceding a line of text
is attributed to tabbing or
spacing, and no center codes are
inserted in the translated
document.

    The RETURN key toggles between
YES and NO.

Default: YES
~dcals.hlp
DCA LINE SPACING SUPPORT

    DCA provides three ways for
users to adjust the interline
spacing (vertical distance from one
printed line to the next).

    The user may either set the
"line spacing" or the "lines per
inch" or both.  The lines per inch
field is used by the conversion
to calculate the exact distance
between printed lines.  The line
spacing field can be used to modify
that distance.  For example, a line
spacing value of 2 means the
physical distance between lines
should be doubled.

    This parameter allows the user
to select which of the three
methods should be used to support
interline spacing when converting
documents to DCA.

1. Support with line spacing
changes.

    If this method is chosen,
then documents converted to
DCA/RFT will be set to the default
6 lines per inch, and changes
in interline spacing will be
supported with "line spacing"
changes.

Note: Line spacing values can only
have the following values 0.5, 1.0,
1.5, 2.0 and 3.0. which may result
in approximation of the true
distance.

2. Support with line density
changes.

    Choosing this method causes
documents converted to DCA/RFT
to be set to the default single
line spacing and changes in
interline spacing will be supported
with "lines per inch" changes.

3. Support with a combination of
spacing and line density.

    This choice causes documents
converted to DCA/RFT to use a
combination of "line spacing"
and "lines per inch" changes to
support interline spacing.

    First, an attempt will be made
to support with 6 lines per inch
and one of the available values for
line spacing.  If this results in
loss of accuracy then single line
spacing, with a specific lines per
inch change will be used to
increase precision.

Default: Support with a combination
of spacing and line density

~dcasr.hlp
SOFT RETURN REPLACEMENT METHOD

    In DCA/RFT and TXT, if a line
contains only a soft return, this
soft return will be interpreted as
a hard return during printing and
pagination. However, in many word
processors, such soft returns will
be ignored because it does not have
a semantic meaning.

    This parameter is set up to
allow you to choose a method of
handling such soft returns.  These
soft returns can be converted to
soft returns or hard returns.

Note:  In DCA and TXT, soft returns
and hard returns are called
"carrier returns" and "required
carrier returns" respectively.

The RETURN key toggles between
"Keep as Soft Returns" and "Convert
to Hard Returns".

Default:  Keep as Soft Returns
~d_left.hlp
DEFAULT LEFT MARGIN

    This parameter is only
applicable if the "Margin
Determination Method" parameter is
set to "Use the user supplied
defaults" in which case this left
margin is used, and scanning is not
performed.  Choose any value to
999. Note: the value chosen must
agree with the image of the text.

Default: 1
~d_right.hlp
DEFAULT RIGHT MARGIN

    This parameter is only
applicable if the "Margin
Determination Method" is set to
"Use the user supplied defaults" in
which case this Right Margin is
used, and scanning is not
performed.  Choose any value to
999.

Default: 65
~ext.hlp
USER DEFINED EXTENSION

    The User Defined Extension
parameter allows you to assign any
valid DOS extension to the converted
documents.  This parameter works in
conjunction with the "File Naming
Method" parameter when its value is
set to either "Original File Name
with User Defined Extension" or
"User Defined file Name with User
Defined Extension."

    An entry here has no effect
when File Naming Method is set to
either "Prompt User For Output File
Name", "Original File Name with
Original Extension", or "User
Defined File Name with Original
Extension."

    A plus sign ("+") can be
included in the extension if you
wish to automatically increment the
extension names with numbers
starting at 01.

example:

    A+   =    .A01, .A02, .A03, ...
    +    =    .001, .002, .003, ...

    Because DOS allows only three
characters for a file extension,
when using the "+" option, the
extension is limited to one
character , including the "+".

Default:
ASCII                      .ASC
DCA/RFT                    .RFT
DW2/3 TXT                  .TXT
Microsoft Word 4.0         .DOC
Microsoft Word 5.0         .DOC
WordPerfect                .WPF
WordPerfect 5.0            .WPF
WordStar                   .WS
WordStar 2000              .WS2

A special extensions is required by
the follow word processors:

MultiMate 3.6              .DOC
MultiMate Advantage II     .DOC

You cannot alter the extension
for these word processors.
~filespec.hlp
USER DEFINED FILE NAME

    The User Defined File Name
parameter allows you to assign any
valid DOS name to the converted
documents.  This parameter works in
conjunction with "2. File Naming
Method" parameter when its value is
set to either "User Defined File
Name with User Defined Extension"
or "User Defined File Name with
Original Extension."

    An entry here has no effect
when File Naming Method is set to
either "Prompt User For Output File
Name", "Original File Name with
User Defined Extension", or
"Original File Name with Original
Extension."

    To enter a name, type in any
valid DOS name (up to eight
characters) and press RETURN.

    Note: The plus sign ("+") can
be included in the file name if you
wish to automatically increment the
file names with numbers starting at
001.

Examples:

    ABC+  =   ABC001, ABC002, ...
   ABC+X  =   ABC001X, ABC002X, ...
     +    =   001, 002, 003, ...

    Because DOS allows eight
characters for a file name, when
using the ("+") option, the file
name is limited to seven
characters, including the ("+").

Default: "+"
~fltrpar.hlp
KEYBOARD TYPE

    This parameter has three pos-
sible values: US/Group1, Norwegian/
Danish, and Hebrew, and is deter-
mined by the type of keyboard
layout included in your system.

    Unless an alternate keyboard
layout is being used, this para-
meter should not be of concern.

Default: US/Group1
~intdir.hlp
SYSTEM WORK AREA DIRECTORY

    Determines where the
intermediate work files are stored
during translation.  Although these
are erased after each translation,
they temporarily require
approximately 1 1/2 times the size
of the largest document that will
be converted.

    This parameter is important
when running from a floppy drive,
as there must be sufficient space
for the input document files, the
temporary work files, and the
converted files all on a single
floppy disk.

    Enter a drive letter or the
name of an existing directory on
the hard disk, and press RETURN.

Default:  The current drive and
directory
~merge.hlp
INPUT FILE TYPE

    This parameter indicates the
type of document being converted.

    The parameter value for
WordStar toggles between document
file and data file.

Default value: Document file
~method.hlp
FILE NAMING METHOD

    This parameter determines how
translated files are named.  The
RETURN key toggles among five
possible values:

1.) Original File Name with User
Defined Extension

    The file name of the source
document is assigned to the
translated document in the form:

[Output Directory][Original File
Name].[User Defined Extension]

    The "Output Directory" and
"User Defined Extension" parameters
are also used to build the file
name.  For example, when a WordStar
document named: "LETTER.XYZ" is
translated to MultiMate, and the
MultiMate parameter values are set
to:

   a. File Naming Method = Original
      File Name with User Defined
      Extension
   b. Output Directory = A:
   c. User Defined Extension = ABC

the translated file will be saved
as: A:\LETTER.ABC

2.) Original File Name with Original
Extension

    The file name of the source
document is assigned to the
translated document in the form:

[Output Directory][Original File
Name].[Original Extension]

    For example, when a WordStar
document named: "LETTER.ABC" is
translated to MultiMate and the
MultiMate parameter values are set
to:
   a: File Naming Method = Original
      File Name with Original
      Extension
   b. Output Directory = A:

the translated file will be saved
as: A:\LETTER.ABC

3.) User Defined File Name with
User Defined Extension

    A user selected file name is
assigned to the translated document
in the form:

[Output Directory][User Defined
File Name].[User Defined Extension]

The "Output Directory", "User
Defined File Name" and "User
Defined Extension" parameters are
all used to build the file name.
For example, when a WordStar
document named "LETTER.ABC" is
translated to MultiMate and the
MultiMate parameter values are set
to:
   a. File Naming Method = User
      Defined File Name with User
      Defined Extension
   b. Output Directory = C:\MMATE
   c. User Defined File Name = FILE
   d. User Defined Extension = DOC

The translated file will be saved
as: C:\MMATE\FILE.DOC

4.) User Defined File Name with
Original Extension

    Only the file extension of the
source document is assigned to the
translated document in the form:

[Output Directory][User Defined
File Name].[Original Extension]

    For example, when a WordStar
document named "LETTER.ABC" is
translated to MultiMate and the
MultiMate Parameters are set to:

   a.) File Naming Method = User
       Defined File Name with
       Original Extension
   b.) Output Directory = A:
   c.) User Defined File Name =
       FILES

The translated file will be saved
as: A:\FILES.ABC

5.) Prompt User for File Name

    As each document is translated,
the user is prompted to enter a
name.  The user must include any
desired drive letter or directory,
and is responsible for appending
any mandatory file extension.  For
example: ".DOC" when translating to
MultiMate.

Default: Original File Name with
User Defined Extension
~mmauthor.hlp
MULTIMATE AUTHOR FIELD

    Text entered here appears in
the Author Field of documents
translated into MultiMate.

Default: None  (No text is entered
into the Author Field.)

Note:  If the word processor you
are converting from has a
corresponding author field, that
entry will overwrite the entry in
this parameter.
~mmcomnt.hlp
MULTIMATE COMMENT FIELD

    Text entered here automatically
appears in the Comment Field of
documents translated into
MultiMate.

Original Entry:  None (No entry in
the Comment Field)

NOTE: If the word processor you are
converting from has a corresponding
comment field, the parameter will
pass along that entry, and the
entry here will be overwritten.
~mmcwt.hlp
CHARACTER WIDTH TABLE

    The third of the three
printer tables, the Character Width
Table (CWT) contains character
information, such as character
width and character redefinition,
that will be sent to your printer.

    Enter the name of your
Character Width Table (up to eight
characters) and press RETURN.

Default:  None (The parameter is
left blank)
~mmpat.hlp
PRINTER ACTION TABLE

    The Printer Action Table
(PAT) is one of three tables that
sends print information and
commands, contained in your
document, to your printer.

    PATs contain codes which
tell your printer how to perform
MultiMate word processing
functions.  See your MultiMate
Printer Guide for additional
information.

    Enter the name of your
MultiMate Printer Action Table (up
to eight characters) and press
RETURN.

Default: TTYCRLF
~mmsat.hlp
SHEET FEEDER ACTION TABLE

    One of three printer
tables, the Sheet Feeder Action
Table (SAT) contains codes to
direct your sheet feeder to work
with your printer and MultiMate.

    As with the Printer Action
Table, the Sheet Feeder Action
Table is specified on the Document
Print Options Screen.

    Enter the name of your
Sheet Feeder Action Table (up to 8
characters) and press RETURN.

Default:  None (The parameter value
is left blank)
~mmvers.hlp
OUTPUT FILE TYPE

    Because of the differences
in function handling (i.e. footers
and footnotes) between versions of
MultiMate, this parameter defines
the type of output MultiMate
document to produce.

    The RETURN key toggles
between "MultiMate Advantage II
version 1.0" and "MultiMate
version 3.6".  Choose the version
you plan to edit and print your
documents from.

Default: MultiMate Advantage II
version 1.0
~msdeftab.hlp
DEFAULT TAB WIDTH

    Each paragraph in a Microsoft
Word document has preset tab stops
at half-inch intervals.  The con-
version allows you to change this
value. You may enter a new value
in tenths of an inch ( for instance
".6" or "1.0") or in centimeters
(for example "1 cm" or "1.5 cm").

    To change this value, enter any
valid measurement unit, and press
RETURN.  When using the centimeter
measurement unit there must be a
space between the number and the
measurement unit "cm".

Default: .5 in
~m_method.hlp
MARGIN DETERMINATION METHOD

    The WordStar conversion allows
the user to choose one of three
methods for determining the
margins:

    1) Scan the text. Scan the
image of each line, generating
statistics, and make educated
changes to the left and right
margin.  This parameter should
be used if .RR, .LM, and .RM
commands are not in the WordStar
file (true for earlier versions of
WordStar).

    2) Examine dot commands.  Uses
only the information provided by
the .LM, .RM, and .RR commands for
determining margin changes.

    3) Use the user supplied
defaults.  Use the margin settings
supplied by the user through
the "Default Left Margin" and
"Default Right Margin" parameters.

~outdir.hlp
OUTPUT DIRECTORY

    This parameter determines where
the translated files will be
stored.  To change the current
entry, you must type the name of an
existing drive and path
(including colon), and press
RETURN.

    For example, the entry:

         C:\DOCS

will cause all translated documents
to be sent to the subdirectory
"DOCS".

Default: None (documents are stored
in the current DOS default
directory.)
~q_docs.hlp
INPUT QUEUE

To add individual documents to the queue,
type each document name.  Include the drive
letter or directory path unless the logged
drive/path is identified at the top of the
queue; then type the document names only.
You can use the DOS wild-card characters *
and ? in the document names.

For example:

A:*.*           Queues all documents on the
                disk in drive A.
C:\WS5\*.*      Queues all documents in the
                WS5 directory on drive C.

When you use Auto Translate as one of your
conversions, the Input Queue is divided
into two parts.  On the left, you type the
document names; on the right, Star Exchange
identifies the source word processors for
those documents.

To select documents from a directory
listing, press F2 for Automatic Directory
Assistance.  To delete an entry from the
queue, press DEL.  To translate documents,
press F10.

~remdocs.hlp
DELETING QUEUED DOCUMENTS

To remove individual entries:

   1)  Highlight an entry by moving
   the cursor to it.

   2)  Press DEL to delete the
   highlighted entry from the
   queue.

To remove all entries from the
queue:

   Press ALT and D concurrently.

When through deleting entries,
press ESC.
~sel_conv.hlp
SYSTEM SETUP (SELECT CONVERSIONS)

"Conversion A" and "Conversion B" are the
two word processors (conversions) between
which documents are translated.

WordStar or WordStar 2000 must always be
present in the Conversion A or Conversion B
window.  To choose a second word processor
from the main "Conversions" window, highlight
the conversion.  Then press the right or left
arrow key to enter it as Conversion A or
Conversion B.

If you use Auto Translate to convert
documents, you don't need to identify the
source word processors to Star Exchange.
When Auto Translate is one of the two
conversions selected, only one option appears
on the Main Menu: "Translate from Auto
Translate to WordStar."

To change or view the System Parameters,
press F2.  To change or view conversion
parameters, press F3 (Conversion A) or
F4 (Conversion B).  To use a Character Filter
or Typestyle Filter, press F5 or F6.
~sysdir.hlp
SYSTEM WORK AREA DIRECTORY

    Determines where the
intermediate work files are stored
during translation.  Although these
are erased after each translation,
they temporarily require
approximately 1 1/2 times the size
of the largest document that will
be converted.

    This parameter is important
when running from a floppy drive,
as there must be sufficient space
for the input document files, the
temporary work files, and the
converted files all on a single
floppy disk.

    Enter a drive letter or the
name of an existing directory on
the hard disk, and press RETURN.

Default:  The current drive and
directory.
~tabstops.hlp
DEFAULT TAB STOP SETTINGS

    When a tab character (hex 0x09)
is encountered in the document, the
conversion uses default tab stop
settings to assign the number of
blank spaces prefacing the indented
text.

Default: Every eighth space
9,17,25,33,41,49,57,65,73,81
~tf_file.hlp
CHARACTER FILTER FILE

    This parameter is used to
specify which previously created
character filter file (if any) to
use during the translation.

    Enter the name of the file,
including drive and directory on
which the character filter
file resides, and press RETURN.

Default: NONE
~t_method.hlp
TABSTOP DETERMINATION METHOD

    The WordStar conversion allows
the user to choose one of three
methods for determining the tabstop
locations:

    1) Scan the text.  Scan the
image of each page, generate
statistics indicating possible
tabstop locations, and make
educated choices about the tabstop
locations for each page of text.
The information found in .RR
commands is not used if this method
is selected.

    2) Examine dot commands.  Use
only the information found in
.RR commands for determining
the location of tabstops.  The
WordStar default settings will
be used until a .RR command is
encountered.

    3) Use the user supplied
defaults. Use the settings provided
by the user in the "Default
Tabstops" parameter as the
tabstops for the entire document.
Suggested for users who use only
one set of tabstops for the entire
document.

~ufr.hlp
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER

    Valid characters in one word
processor may not be recognized by
another.

    This parameter defines a
character to insert in a translated
document when a character which
cannot be translated appears in the
original. When the translated
document is edited, these
characters mark locations which
might need attention.

    Type the Hex-ASCII
representation of the desired
replacement character, and press
RETURN.

Default: 40 (@)

NOTE: For DCA/RFT, the
replacement character is "7C",
the "@" in EBCDIC.
~wordwrap.hlp
WORD WRAP ADJUSTMENT

    Select a value between -4 and
+4 to compensate (respectively
subtract or add to the right
margin) for word wrapping anomaly
that occurs among various word
processors. This adjustment affects
only the output document generated
by the conversion.

Default: A (Automatic Adjustment)
~wpf_prs.hlp
PRS FILE NAME

    The PRS file refers to the
Printer Description File created by
WordPerfect 5.0, when you installed
your printer.

    Enter the name of an existing
PRS file name, and press RETURN.

NOTE:  If there is no PRS file used
during the translation to or from
WordPerfect, the conversion will
use default values.  In this case,
fonts cannot be correctly sent.

Default:  STANDARD.PRS
~ws2fn.hlp
PDF FILE NAME

    The PDF file refers to the
Printer Description File created by
WordStar 2000 when you installed
your printer.

    Enter the name of an existing
PDF file name, and press RETURN.

NOTE:  If there is no PDF file used
during the translation to or from
WordStar 2000, the conversion will
use default values.  In this case,
font and line height values created
during the conversion may not
correspond to your printer's
values.

No Default
~wsch.hlp
OUTPUT CHARACTER SET

    This parameter allows the user
to choose the character set to be
supported when creating WordStar
documents.  This is necessary based
on different WordStar versions
which support different character
sets.

    1) Full WordStar Release 4 set.
Choose this option when converting
to WordStar Release 4.

    2) Standard Ascii Set.  Choose
this option when converting to any
WordStar version up to and
including 3.31.

    3) Full DOS set.  This option
will support the full set of DOS
extended characters which
currently is only available in
WordStar Release 3.4

Default: Full WordStar Release 4
~wscu.hlp
CONTINUOUS UNDERLINING SUPPORT

    This parameter defines the
method the conversion will use when
supporting continuous underlining.
Versions of WordStar 3.31 and
earlier did not support underlining
white space.  If this parameter is
set to "Underscore White Space" the
conversion will replace spaces by
underscores if continuous
underlining is on (due to word
wrapping considerations this is not
done in paragraphs).

    The second choice "Do Not
Underscore White Space" should be
selected for continuous
underlining.

Default: Do Not Underscore White
Space
~wsls.hlp
WORDSTAR LINE SPACING SUPPORT

    The WordStar word processor
provides three ways for users to
adjust the interline spacing
(vertical distance from one printed
line to the next).

    The user may either set the
"line height" or the "line spacing
field" or both.  The line height
field is used by the word
processor to calculate the exact
distance between printed lines.
The line spacing field can be used
to modify that distance.  For
example, a line spacing value of 2
means the physical distance between
lines should be doubled.

    This parameter allows the user
to select which of the three
methods should be used to support
interline spacing when converting
documents to WordStar.

1. Support with .LS (line spacing
changes)

    If this method is chosen,
then documents converted to
WordStar will be set to the default
6 lines per inch, and changes in
interline spacing will be supported
with "line spacing" changes.
Note: Line spacing values are
limited to whole number increments
(1,2,3.....) which may result in
approximation of the true distance.

2. Support with .LH (line height
changes)

    Choosing this method causes
documents converted to WordStar
to be set to the default single
line spacing and changes in
interline spacing will be supported
with "lines per inch" changes.
Note: Some printers are limited in
their ability to adjust the lines
per inch.

3. Support with a combination of
.LS and .LH changes

    This choice causes documents
converted to WordStar to use a
combination of "line spacing" and
"lines per inch" changes to support
interline spacing.

    First, an attempt will be made
to support with 6 lines per inch
and one of the available values for
line spacing.  If this results in
loss of accuracy then single line
spacing, with a specific lines per
inch change will be used to
increase precision.

Default:  Support with a combination
of .LS and .LH changes
~wsphrb.hlp
WORDSTAR PHANTOM RUBOUT

    Phantom rubout is unique to
WordStar: there is no direct trans-
lation available in other word
processors.

    This parameter defines a char-
acter to insert in a translated
document when a Phantom Rubout is
encountered in the WordStar
original.

    Enter the Hex-ASCII
representation of the desired
character.

Default: 52 ("R")
~wsphsp.hlp
WORDSTAR PHANTOM SPACE

    Phantom space is unique to
WordStar: there is no direct
translation available in other word
processors.

    This parameter defines a
character to insert in a translated
document when a Phantom Space is
encountered in the WordStar
original.

    Enter the Hex-ASCII
representation of the desired
character, and press RETURN.

Default: 53 ("S")
~ws_rel.hlp
WORDSTAR RELEASE LEVEL

     It  is  necessary  to select
the WordStar  release  level that
you are currently using.  This is
due to differences in functionality
and file format between WordStar
releases.

     Press <ENTER> to toggle
between the four choices listed
below.

     Release 5.0
     Release 4.0
     Release 3.4
     Release 3.31 and below
~style.hlp
STYLE FILE DIRECTORY

    The Style File Directory refers
to the directory where a WORD 5
style sheet is stored.

    Enter the directory where
the current document's style
sheet is located.

NOTE:  If there is no Style File
directory specified the
document will be converted without
the style sheet's formatting.

Default:  NONE
~mmpitch.hlp
DOCUMENT DEFAULT PITCH

    This value will be the default
pitch put into the Print Options
Menu of the MultiMate document.

    Values range from 1 to 9
and will be used to calculate
the positioning of tabstops and
margins on the MultiMate format
lines in the document.

    Changing the default pitch of
a MultiMate document after it has
been converted is not suggested
since the format lines would then
have to be manually altered to
preserve the original layout.

Default: 4  (10 chars/inch)
~pagelnth.hlp
PAGE LENGTH

    This parameter helps to
determine where page breaks occur.
The conversion scans the document
looking for form feed character. If
found, a required page break is
issued. If no form feed is en-
countered within a number of lines
specified here, a soft page break
is issued.

    Enter the number of physical
lines per printed page, up to the
maximum of 99.

Default: 66 (lines per page)
~hdr1lnth.hlp
FIRST PAGE HEADER LENGTH

    This parameter defines the
number of lines of header text on
the 1st page.

For example:
    The actual text on the first
page begins on line 8.  Line 3
contains a header.  Lines 1, 2 and
4 through 7 are blank.  The entry
for First Page Header Length should
be 7.

Default: 0 (no top margin, and no
header on the first page.)
~ftr1lnth.hlp
FIRST PAGE FOOTER LENGTH

    This parameter defines the
number of lines of footer text on
the 1st page.

    Enter the number of lines in
the bottom margin on the first
page.  This number equals the total
page length minus the number of the
last line of text.

    For example:  The actual text
on the first page ends on line 58.
Blank lines and footer text are
found on lines 59 through 66.  The
entry for First Page Footer Length
should be 8 (66 lines per page
minus 58).

Default: 0 (No bottom margin and no
footer on the first page.)
~hdrxlnth.hlp
SUBSEQUENT PAGE HEADER LENGTH

    This parameter defines the
number of lines of header text,
starting from the 2nd page until
the end of the document.

    The actual page length is
indicated by the page length
option. The header length is
included in the page length.

Default: 0
~ftrxlnth.hlp
SUBSEQUENT PAGE FOOTER LENGTH

    This parameter defines the
number of lines of footer text,
starting from the 2nd page until
the end of the document.

    The actual page length is
indicated by the page length
option. Enter the number of lines
in the bottom margin - the total
page length minus the line number
of the last line of text.  This
number will be constant although
the text within these lines may
vary.

Default: 0 (no bottom margin and no
footers on the 2nd through last
pages.)
~lhzwidth.hlp
LEFT HOT ZONE WIDTH

    The entry for this parameter
must be between 0 and 7.

    A right margin change is not
issued if a line is shorter than
the specified right margin and
falls within the specified position
of the right margin based on the
surrounding lines.

Default: 2
~rhzwidth.hlp
RIGHT HOT ZONE WIDTH

    The entry for this parameter
must be between 0 and 7.

    A right margin change is not
issued if a line extends less than
the specified number of characters
past the right margin based on the
surrounding lines.

Default: 0
~prntmrgn.hlp
DEFAULT PRINT MARGIN

    For word processing packages
which support a print margin
(different from the left margin)
the parameter passes along a value
as the print margin for the
translated document.

    Enter the number of spaces
desired between the left edge of
the page and the first print column
on the page.

Default: 10
~lschange.hlp
CHECK FOR LINE SPACING CHANGES

    When the conversion encounters
a pattern of single lines of text
separated by blank lines, this
parameter determines whether to
translate the text exactly as it
appears in the ASCII document or
whether to issue a line spacing
change (and strip out the blank
lines.)

For example, this text appears to
be triple spaced:

    single line of text
       (blank line)
       (blank line)
    single line of text
       (blank line)
       (blank line)
    single line of text
       (blank line)
       (blank line)
    single line of text
       (blank line)
       (blank line)

Note: At least four repetitions of
a pattern of text and blank lines
are required to trigger a line
spacing change.  Otherwise, the
translated text is single spaced.

When this parameter is set to NO,
single line spacing is retained,
preserving the lines exactly as
they appear in the document, and
terminating each with a hard
carriage return.

Default: YES
~minrmrgn.hlp
MINIMUM RIGHT MARGIN

    This parameter can be used to
tell the conversion process what
the minimum right margin generated
by the conversion should be.  This
can be very useful in keeping the
conversion from generating word
wrapped text on short lines.  The
conversion will never generate a
right margin (offset including left
margin) greater than this value.

Default: 40
~tsd.hlp
TABSTOP DETERMINATION METHOD

    The ASCII conversion allows
you to choose between two methods
for determining the tabstop
locations:

    1) Scan the text to generate
tab stop information.  Scan the
image of each page, generate
statistics indicating possible
tabstop locations, and make
educated choices about the tabstop
locations for each page of text.

    2) Use the user supplied
defaults. Use the settings provided
by the user in the "Default
Tabstops" parameter as the
tabstops for the entire document.

Default: Scan the text to generate
tab stop information
~cas.hlp
CHARACTER ATTRIBUTE SUPPORT

     The Character Attribute
Support parameter allows you to
determine whether bolding, under-
lining, and overstriking should,
(for printing purposes), be con-
verted to the backspace (Hex 08)
character.

     For example, if the parameter
value is set to "Support Bold/
Underline/Overstrike with Backspace
Character", the ASCII document will
support bold, underline, and over-
struck text in the following way:

  a.) Bold =

  "character backspace character"
        "or A backspace A"

  b.) Underline =

  "character backspace underline"
        "or A backspace _"

  c.) Overstrike =

  "character backspace overstrike"
        "or A backspace /~

     If the parameter value is set
to "Do Not Support Bold/Underline/
Overstrike Attributes", these
character attributes will not be
supported in the converted ASCII
document.

Default: Do Not Support Bold/Under-
line/Overstrike Attributes

NOTE:  When converting FROM ASCII,
the conversion will support these
character attributes if they exist
in the original document as
explained in the example above.
~twpdf.hlp
DRV FILE NAME

    The DRV file refers to the
Printer Description File created by
TotalWord when you installed
your printer.

    Enter the name, including
directory path, of an existing
DRV file name, and press RETURN.

NOTE:  If there is no DRV file used
during the translation to or from
TotalWord, the conversion will
use default values.  In this case,
fonts cannot be correctly sent.

Default:  STANDARD.DRV
~END
