- enable a presentation to exchange information with a Notes

- ** Upgrading from Previous Releases of Freelance Graphics **
-
- If you have previously used Freelance Plus or Freelance
- Graphics for DOS, or Freelance Graphics for Windows
- Release 1.0, see "For Upgraders" in online Help for information
- about using Freelance Graphics for Windows Release 2.01.
- These online Help topics also include information about file
- compatibility between Releases 1.0, 2.0, and 2.01 of Freelance
- Graphics for Windows.
-
- ** Memory and Printer Requirements for the QuickStart
- Tutorial **
-
- Lotus strongly recommends a minimum of 4MB of RAM to run
- the QuickStart tutorial.
-
- The tutorial also requires that you have a default printer
- installed in the Windows Control Panel. If you do not have
- a printer connected to your PC or available through a
- network, use the Windows Control Panel to install a
- PostScript or laser printer driver and set that printer as the
- default. (Note that if you installed the QuickStart tutorial,
- Freelance Graphics automatically runs the tutorial the first
- time you start Freelance Graphics. Therefore, you must have
- a default printer installed before you start Freelance Graphics
- the first time.)
-
- ** Installing Freelance Graphics for Windows **
-
- If you receive an "Access Denied" error during installation,
- it may be because you do not have write-access to the LOTUSAPP
- directory. If this happens, make a note of the path and file name
- displayed in the error message, and contact your network
- administrator to have that file placed on your network in the
- appropriate directory.
-
- When you install Freelance Graphics for Windows on a node for
- the first time, you should be logged on as the actual user, and
- not as the network administrator. This allows the LOTUS.INI file
- to record the correct path information for Freelance Graphics.
-
- ** About the FLW2.INI File **
-
- When you install Freelance Graphics for Windows, the
- Installation program transfers a file named FLW2.INI to
- your Windows directory. This file contains initialization
- specifications for Freelance Graphics. The file contains
- comments that clearly describe each line. You can also
- see "About the FLW2.INI File" in online Help for more
- information.
-
- ** Changing Your Display Screen **
-
- When you install Freelance Graphics it determines the type
- of screen you are using and copies the appropriate program
- files to the Freelance Graphics program directory. If
- you change your computer's display screen, you must rerun
- the Freelance Graphics Install program and click Change
- Display Monitor. Then choose the appropriate monitor.
-
- ** Improving Your Organization Charts **
-
- Freelance Graphics makes it easy to create good-looking
- organization charts. But if you try to create a large chart,
- or if your entries are particularly long, the font size may be
- too small. In these cases, there are several options you can
- try to improve the appearance of your charts:
-
- * Choose a vertical layout (such as laddered list) for the
- bottom layer of the chart in the Organization Chart
- Gallery dialog box.
-
- * Change the size of the organization chart by dragging the
- selection handles. Move the page title if appropriate.
-
- * Increase the text size manually. First, unmark
- "Automatically size entry text" in the Organization Chart
- Gallery dialog box. Then change the text size for the text
- in all the boxes in the chart (using the Organization Chart
- Attributes dialog box). If long lines run over the edge of a
- box, break up the line by pressing CTRL+ENTER.
-
- ** Using Video for Windows Files in Indeo Format **
-
- To play a Video for Windows file in Indeo format using an Intel
- Indeo add-in board, you need a version of the Indeo video driver
- later than 2.1. Contact Intel for more information.
-
- ** Running Freelance Graphics with HP NewWave **
-
- Freelance Graphics is installed as a tool in HP NewWave.
- You can change it to an object, but it is not an HP NewWave
- application. See your HP NewWave documentation for more
- information.
