- Utility 1-2-3 is bunch of files offering you a combination of "tips" on
- how to use 1-2-3 more efficiently or in different ways, and the special
- files you need carry out these "tips".
-
- Some of the things these files allow you to do include:
-
- Imbed special printer control characters in your 1-2-3 worksheets
- allowing you to print multiple font reports without entering a
- single Setup string.
-
- Bring special graphics characters into you 1-2-3 worksheets to
- fancy up menus or graphically illustrate a point.
-
- How to use ProKey, by RoseSoft, in some innovative ways with 1-2-3.
- (ProKey is a general purpose macro processor that works with almost
- any software.) A ProKey macro file is included on the disk
- containing several ProKey macros useful when working with 1-2-3.
- ProKey extends 1-2-3's macro capabilities and allows you to build
- macros that are independent of any one worksheet. You build them
- once, and they work with all your 1-2-3 worksheets.
-
- The way Utility 1-2-3 works is basically as follows: 1-2-3 worksheets
- containing these special characters have been created using a file
- utility program such as the Norton Utilities. These special worksheets
- contain characters that 1-2-3 normally does not allow you to enter.
- These special characters were assigned range names with the Range Name
- Create command. If you ever have a worksheet that needs one of these
- special characters, you simply File Copy Combine the named range that
- you need out of the special worksheets. The 21 page manual helps you
- identify the proper codes. The Printer codes are stored the the file
- PRINTER.WKS. The graphics characters are stored in the file ASCII.WKS.
- ProKey macros have been set up to facilitate the Combining of these
- special characters. The 1-2-3 macro equivalents have also been set up
- in case you do not own ProKey.
