- Those of you who have seen the Wordz leaflet will see a 'button bar' of
- the most often used commands such as Bold, Justify Text, etc. I have
- been asked if something similar exists for PipeDream. The answer is
- that you can make your own 'button bar' as a set of PDCmdFil (macros)
- such as those shown in Figure 1 below.
-
- On the monthly Archive disc I have included both PipeDream 3 and
- PipeDream 4 versions of the macros shown (with Pd4 icons) in the
- screenshot. If you have contributions to such a PipeDream button bar
- then please send them to me on a disc.
-
- I include new versions of two ([Quote] and [Ligatures]) that have
- appeared before. [Quote] converts single and double quotes into the
- 'smart quotes' (leading and trailing quotes). I have added 'phone to
- the PDCmdFil in the Pd4 version. [Ligatures] combines separate f i to
- a joined fi and f l to fl. By the way, does anyone know how to stop
- the dialogue boxes appearing after each Search and replace command?
-
- Provided that you have set a global font the two PDCmdFil (macro)
- called [Homerton] and [Trinity] will enter those fonts into your
- document at the cursor. Some of you will have these on <Ctrl Shift F#>
- funtion keys but, if you have been converted from key short cuts to
- using the GUI (graphic User Interface - the mouse) then you will find
- these two PDCmdFil a useful alternative.
-
- To see what is inside a PDCmdFil you do not double click on it but you
- must 'drag' it to the PipeDream icon (the one installed on the icon
- bar not the one in an open directory window). You can save such a
- PDCmdFil in the ordinary way using <Ctrl FGS> or by clicking on the
- PDCmdFil called [Save] from this directory.
-
- If you have RISC OS 3.10 then you might want to keep some of the
- contents of the Toolbar directory on the PinBoard for easy access.
