- APPENDIX C-PICTURES AND CLIP ART
-
- DIGITA SCALABLE CLIP ART COLLECTION
-
- Scalable clip art is like a scalable font, it can be scaled to any size
- and retains its perfect quality. When printing, because of its
- scalability, the quality will be perfect and just as good as your scalable
- outline fonts.
-
- Digita Scalable Clip Art is an excellent compliment to your Compugraphic
- font collection.
-
- Wordworth 2 Upgraders: If you already use previous Digita clip art, it's
- still Worth upgrading your collection to these new scalable versions.
-
- The following pages illustrate each collection:

- USING PAINT PACKAGES WITH WORDWORTH
-
- The transparent colour (which is usually surrounding the image, when
- placing into be colour 0 in the paint package, which with DPaint, is in
- top left corner of the DPaint palette and in Brilliance is the colour on
- the far left.
-
- These tips may help you:
-
- step 1
-
- Draw or fill around the image with colour 0.
-
- step 2
-
- Select colour 0 using the Right Mouse key.
-
- step 3
-
- Cut out the image and
-
- If you are unsure about drawing, the instruction book supplied with your
- paint package.
-
- When you place a picture in a Wordworth document in the "Picture
- Information" requester, select the "Colour 0 Transparent" checkbox and
- Flow to "Contour Left" or "Contour Right". (You can choose the "Picture
- Information" requester by double-clicking the picture.)
-
-
-
- PRINTING PICTURES WITH WORDWORTH
-
- Wordworth provides excellent support for pictures, allowing you to place
- them anywhere in a document, then re-size, arrange text to flow around the
- picture, adjust their colours, and mix them with many styles and sizes of
- font. However, although documents containing pictures usually look great
- on-screen, when printing the quality can vary enormously. So, how do you
- achieve the best results?
-
- BLACK AND WHITE PRINTERS
-
- Black and white printers are the most common, so we'll start with them.
- Wordworth lets you print in two ways, either solid black and white, or
- grey scaling. (These options are available using the "Print Setup"
- command, Project menu.)
-
- BLACK AND WHITE
-
- This option prints solid areas of black or white. Pictures containing
- various shades of greys or colours are printed all the light shades in
- white and the darker shades in black.
-
- You can change the threshold where light colours become white and dark
- colours become black, from the Amiga Preferences program, PrinterGFX.
-
- Page 265
-
- The Threshold can be set from 1 to 15. The lower its value, the more
- colours will be printed as white, the higher the value, the more colours
- will be printed as black. It is usually set at about 7 or 8.
-
- GREY SCALE
-
- Black and white printers can only print dots in black ink they can't
- actually print 'greys'. Grey scale printing is achieved by using small
- patterns of black dots and white space to produce an illusion of a grey
- scale. The more black dots in the pattern, the darker the grey appears.
- When printing in grey scales the pictures have their colours reproduced in
- grey, which corresponds to the brightness of the colour.
-
- So, with Wordworth, the choice between printing using "Black And
- White","Grey 1", or "Grey 2" depends on the type of pictures you have in
- your document (select from Print command, Project menu). Most clip art,
- like the Wordworth Clip Art Volume One, is drawn in just 2 colours (that
- is, black on white), and should be printed using "Black And White".
-
- Other graphics which use many colours or grey shades (like the Wordworth
- Clip Art Volume Two), should be printed using "Grey 1" or "Grey 2".
- However, you may wish to experiment printing using "Black And White". It's
- worth remembering that "Black and White" printing is faster since the
- Amiga doesn't have to calculate the grey patterns (called 'dithers' or
- 'halftones').
-
- You can select the level of shading, (that is, "Grey 1",or "Grey 2"). It
- is usually best to use "Grey 1", as "Grey 2" is a special type of grey
- scaling designed for use when printing documents that have been designed
- using a Commodore A2024 monochrome monitor.
-
- DENSITY
-
- How do you alter the quality of the printouts? Can they be made darker?
- And, is there any way of improving the resolution, to avoid jagged edges
- on pictures? The density of the dots used to print "Black And White",
- "Grey 1" or "Grey 2" can be adjusted by using the Density slider gadget on
- the "Print Setup" requester ("Print Setup" command, Project menu).
-
- Page 266
-
- The Density may be set from 1 to 7, which corresponds to the lowest
- resolution Of your printer (for example, 120 dots per inch horizontally by
- 72 dots per inch vertically), up to the highest resolution (for example,
- 300dpi by 300dpi). Using a higher density setting will generally produce
- higher quality printouts, particularly with grey scale printing, but there
- are restrictions.
-
- On most dot matrix printers, high density printing is achieved by passing
- the print head mechanism across the page several times, at slightly
- different positions. For example, on a 9 pin printer, the 216dpi
- resolution is achieved by first printing a line of dots at 72dpi, then
- moving the print head down slightly, printing another line of dots at
- 72dpi over the first line, then repeating the procedure a third time,
- giving a 'simulated' resolution of 216 dots per inch (this process is
- called 'multi-pass' printing). However, because of the size of the pins of
- the printer, the real resolution is less than this, and many of the dots
- tend to overlap. Printing on dot matrix printers at high resolutions can
- produce darker or 'muddier' results. In contrast, printouts at Density 1
- can often look too light.
-
- However, because of the size of the pins of the printer, the real
- resolution is less than this, and many of the dots tend to overlap.
- Printing on dot matrix printers at high resolutions can produce darker or
- 'muddier' results. In contrast, printouts at Density 1 can often look too
- light.
-
- The best way around this problem is to experiment with the Density
- settings to find the highest density which prints, without looking too
- dark. Better printers, like laser printers, do not require multi-pass
- printing to produce high density, so you can use the highest density
- setting without any degradation in quality. The only drawback is that high
- density printing takes longer.
-
- AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR
-
- Because of the way that colour is produced, the quality is rarely as good
- as equivalent black and white printers and the cost is usually higher.
-
- First, when placing pictures in your document, try to avoid pictures
- which use very dark colours, particularly black and dark blue, as these
- will quickly wear out the black ink in your printer (black is the most
- used of the 4 primary inks in colour printers, the other colours are
- Magenta, Cyan and Yellow).
-
- Page 267
-
- When printing, use the Print command to set Shade to Colour and set
- Density to a low value from the "Print Setup" command. Although setting
- the Density higher should produce higher resolution printouts, on most
- colour dot matrix printers, which use multi-pass printing at higher
- density, it simply makes the printouts much darker and muddier. It can
- also make the colour ribbon dirty by getting black print onto the yellow
- ribbon area. A Density of 1 or 2 is best.
-
- BETTER QUALITY BITMAP PRINTING
-
- The best way to print a picture, avoiding the "jaggies" is to create the
- picture in your paint package four or five times bigger than you want to
- print it.
-
- When placing the picture into your Wordworth document, you should create
- a "Picture Frame" using the "Picture Frame" object ("Create Object"
- command, Object menu) and then choose "Place Picture" to place the picture
- inside the frame. Wordworth will shrink the picture to the size of the
- frame which can be moved and sized like any other object.
-
- When printing Wordworth will (like scalable fonts) scale the picture up
- four times bigger to match the printer's resolution and as the picture's
- original size is that big, the printout will be perfect.
-
-
- DIGITA PRINT MANAGER
-
- To get the best performance from your printer, and if you have a hard
- disk drive, be sure to install Digita Print Manager (this may already be
- intruded with your Amiga computer).
-
- Digita Print Manager provides the very latest printer driver technology
- to fully support and utilise your printer's capabilities.
-
- Contact Digita for further details if this useful program is not already
- included with your Amiga.

- APPENDIX D - FONTS
-
- SCALABLE FONTS
-
- Agfa Compugraphic, PostScript and TrueType fonts use mathematical
- descriptions of the outlines of each character in a font (lines and
- curves) to generate the font in any point size.
-
- As you request a size and start typing, the font is generated in real-
- time. Therefore, a scalable font is stored as a file containing this
- description, rather than a separate file for each point size of the font.
-
- These fonts are listed in the Font requester (Font command, Format menu).
- As you type, a bit-mapped screen font is generated in real-time for the
- desired size. You can choose any size by typing the new value in the Size
- box. When the font appears, you will notice that no matter what size you
- choose, there are no jagged edges. You set the type of font which appears
- in the Font requester using the "Text Settings" requester ("Change
- Settings" command, Settings menu).
-
-
-
- INSTALLING ADDITIONAL AGFA COMPUGRAPHIC FONTS
-
- Wordworth will work with any Agfa Compugraphic or 100% compatible font.
- This may include Workbench 2 / 3 fonts, George Thompson fonts, public
- domain fonts and font libraries from Gold Disk Inc. Agfa font packs are
- available direct from Digita.
-
- IMPORTANT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- FAIS Agfa fonts: All FAIS Agfa fonts will probably be in PC format and
- will therefore require an MSDOS convertor, such as CrossDos.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You can either install additional fonts for use with Wordworth or tell
- Wordworth to share the fonts already installed by ProPage, Workbench or
- any other program.
-
- To install new fonts onto your hard disk, you must first copy the
- appropriate font files (.type, .lib or .typ) into the Intellifont drawer,
- which is situated in the WwFonts drawer on your hard disk, and then run
- the lnstallOutlines program, with no tooltype set, from the WwTools
- drawer.
-
- To share fonts with programs like ProPage, you will need to select the
- lnstallOutlines program, choose Information (Workbench-Icons menu) and
- alter the FONTPATH= tooltype to point to the location of the fonts.
- Double-click the InstallOutlines program to install the fonts in the
- destination specified by the tooltype for use with Wordworth 3.
-
- Page 269
-
- On floppy disk, you will need to either copy the appropriate font files
- into the Intellifont drawer on the WW3Outlines disk, change the FONTPATH
- tooltype on the InstallOutlines program (WwTools drawer, Ww3Extras disk)
- to FONTPAPTH=WW3Outlines; Intellifont, press the Return key and click
- Save. Double-click the icon to install the fonts
-
- Alternatively, if you have a disk full of public domain fonts that you
- wish to use with Wordworth 3, change the tooltype on the InstallOutlines
- program to point to this disk and then double-click the icon (for example,
- a disk called AgfaFonts1 with some fonts in a drawer, Intellifont on the
- disk, will need a tooltype FONTPATH=AgfaFonts1: Intellifont). The fonts
- and their location will be installed for use with Wordworth.
-
-
-
- INSTALLING ADDITIONAL POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 FONTS
-
- You can either install additional fonts for use with Wordworth or
-
- tell Wordworth to share the fonts already installed by ProPage or

- Truetypefonts will need a tooltype FONTPATH=Truetypefonts:). The fonts and
- their location will be installed for use with Wordworth.
-
-
-
- BITMAP FONTS
-
- Amiga fonts are 'bit-mapped'. This means that they are constructed from a
- pattern of dots which are stored in the computer as Binary Digits (BITS).
- This pattern of dots is referred to as a 'map' of 'bits', hence the term
- 'bit-mapped'.
-
- Each size of a bit-mapped Amiga font is stored on disk in a separate
- file. A font may have been pre-drawn in 3 sizes, for example, 8, 16, 32
- points. To use sizes (other than those which have been pre-drawn), the
- computer has to 'scale' one of the bit-maps, and create a bit-mapped
- version of the size you want.
-
- This scaling process tends to produce jagged-looking fonts when they are
- increased in size. This explains why Amiga fonts can produce rather poor
- quality printouts-although they look good on-screen, when printing, they
- are scaled to the dot resolution of the printer.
-
- Page 271
-
-
-
- COLOUR FONTS
-
- ColorFonts are a variation on standard bitmap fonts. Normal bitmap fonts
- are designed in one colour. Wordworth lets you type standard bitmap fonts
- in a variety of colours (by choosing the desired pen colour from the Font
- requester), but each letter of the font is composed of one solid colour.
-
- ColorFonts may contain a character composed of up to 16 colours.
- ColorFonts are listed in the Font requester in the same way as bitmap
- fonts (provided the "Bitmap Fonts" check box is selected from the "Next
- Settings' requester).
-
- Unless you have a screen mode that is capable of displaying more than 16
- colours, the font will not appear on-screen in the colours it will use
- when printing. This is because ColorFonts cannot be re-mapped to the
- available colours easily.
-
- ColorFonts are still bit-mapped, just like bitmap fonts, and are
- therefore subject to the same scaling limitations and ragged edges when
- printing.
-
-
-
- PRINTER FONTS
-
- Using the internal fonts of your printer is much faster and can produce
- print of a high quality, albeit with less variation in font range and
- size. Most modern printers come supplied with a range of fonts built-in.
- These fonts usually print out at the printer's highest resolution, The
- Wordworth printer installation lets you install a printer driver and
- special 'printer font' files for your printer. These files tell Wordworth
- how to use the internal printer fonts in your printer.
-
- To print a document using internal printer fonts, use the "Print Method-
- Printer Font' on the "Print Setup" requester (Project menu). The Font
- requester (when the "Print Method"-"Printer Font" button is selected),
- lists the names of the fonts, which are prefixed by the letters WW
- followed by name of your printer, For example, the internal fonts for the
- Panasonic KXP2180 printer are listed as: WW KX-P2180_ Bold, WW KX-
- P2180_Courier_Prop, and so on.
-
- The fonts can be selected just like bitmap fonts, and text typed on-
- screen using them. Wordworth uses the default outline font to depict the
- printer font. Therefore, the font may look a little different on paper,
- but the alignment of the on-screen text will be correct. Different fonts
- and sizes can be mixed on the same page, even on the same line.
-
- When using internal printer fonts, we recommended that you keep to 6 lpi
- or 8 lpi line spacing (Paragraph command, Format menu).

-
- AGFA COMPUGRAPHIC FONT COLLECTION
-
- Although Wordworth is easily capable of producing posters, invitations,
- newsletters and presentations, to do this effectively, you'll probably
- need extra fonts.
-
- There are many low-cost clone fonts available but they simply don't match
- the quality of genuine, more expensive Agfa Compugraphic fonts.
-
- And So, from the massive Agfa font library, we have individually selected
- a range of fonts for their quality and suitability with Wordworth (the
- following pages illustrate each collection).
-
- We have exclusively negotiated this special arrangement with Agfa to
- bring you the best quality and best value. However, as we are sure you'll
- appreciate, these prices are only available to registered users of
- Wordworth:

- APPENDIX E-POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS
-
- INTRODUCTION
-
- PostScript is a computer programming language, produced by the American
- company, Adobe Systems.
-
- The language is specially designed to describe printed pages comprising
- text and graphics. It is used by applications, such as Wordworth, to
- produce a description of a printed document, which is then sent to a
- 'PostScript compatible' printer using the PostScript language to produce
- the printout.
-
- PostScript describes the printed page in terms of lines, curves and
- shapes, in a similar way to the Agfa Compugraphic fonts. This means that
- the page is drawn at the printer's highest resolution, with no ragged
- edges on scaled fonts. PostScript fonts are similar to Agfa Compugraphic
- fonts, but they use the PostScript language to describe the shapes of
- their characters.
-
- Agfa Compugraphic fonts are generated by the computer and translated into
- bit-mapped graphics, which are then sent to the printer. Sending this
- amount of information is slow, particularly when printing at high
- resolution. With PostScript, only the description of the page (lines,
- curves, names and sizes of desired fonts) is sent to the printer. The
- printer then takes the time to generate the bit-map which it prints, thus
- the computer is free to carry on with other task.
-
- The second advantage of PostScript is its complete flexibility. Owing to
- its dependence on just a description of the page (in terms of simple
- programming commands), PostScript can be instructed to perform very fancy
- effects, such as rotating or stretching text. Such effects are produced by
- the PostScript printer, removing the burden from the application.
-
- Most expensive laser printers and typesetting machines use PostScript and
- generally include a built-in set of 35 standard PostScript fonts.
- Wordworth provides full support for printing to PostScript printers and
- allows you to use all 35 fonts.
-
-
-
- SETUP
-
- When a PostScript printer is selected for installation, then 'screen
- fonts' will also be installed (on your hard disk) for the standard
- PostScript fonts. (Floppy disk users do not have enough room on their
- disks to install the relevant screen fonts) and therefore cannot use
- PostScript.
-
- Page 279
-
- These fonts are simply Amiga bit-mapped fonts in various sizes, which
- correspond in design to the 35 PostScript fonts used in PostScript
- printers. Special 'printer font' files are also installed which describe
- the exact widths of the characters in the fonts so that Wordworth can
- align the text Correctly on screen.
-
- IMPORTANT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Before you can use the PostScript fonts you must set the "Print Method"
- ("Print Setup", Project menu) to PostScript.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- From within Wordworth, the PostScript fonts can be selected using the
- Font requester. They are prefixed with 'WW_PS_'. They include WW_PS_Times,
- WW_PS_Helvetica, WW_PS_Palatino, WW_PS_ZapfDingbats and so on.
-
-
-
- PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT
-
- From the "Print Setup" requester click PostScript on the bottom of the
- requester.
-
- DESTINATION
-
- Select the Printer radio button to print the document.
-
- You can also send the document to disk by selecting the File radio button
- and type the path and file name into the Filename text gadget, the
- destination can also be set using the file requester by clicking the
- Select button.
-
- This option is particularly useful if you wish to print your
- document using the facilities of a typesetting bureau.
-
- OPTIONS
-
- Download Fonts: Informs Wordworth to send all the PostScript fonts in
- your document to the printer before printing. This is used when the
- document contains fonts which are not internal to the printer.
-
- Only PostScript Type 1 fonts can be downloaded to a printer and
- therefore, if you wish to use any of your Agfa Compugraphic fonts in a
- document, you will have to convert them to PostScript format before
- editing.
-
- If a font has not been downloaded and is not one of the inbuilt fonts it
- will be printed in Courier.
-
- Page 280
-
- The "Download Fonts" options are as follows:
-
- "Once Only" Any new fonts are downloaded to the printer once only. If
- the printer is turned off, you will need to re-download the
- fonts using the "Every Time" option,
-
- "Every Time" All fonts are downloaded to the printer every time the
- document is printed.
-
- "Never" Fonts are never downloaded. If a font is not internal, and
- it has not been previously downloaded, the text will be
- printed in Courier.
-
- Landscape documents can be printed easily by using the
- Rotate and Offset options:
-
- * Choose Document (Format menu) and swap the values
- for Height and Width.
-
- * From the "PostScript Setup" requester, set Rotate to 90, and
- "Horizontal Offset' to 11.713 in.
-
- * Choose Print, and your document will appear in landscape.
-
- Scaling: To enlarge or reduce the size of the page, type a scaling
- percentage for the width and height. For example, typing 50 for horizontal
- and vertical scaling will print the page at 25% of its normal size.
-
- Rotate By: Type an angle by which you wish to rotate the page The
- rotation is in degrees anti-clockwise around the origin, which is at the
- bottom left corner of the page.
-
- Page 281
-
- Figure E-1 'PostScript Printer Setup' requester
-
- Offset: Offsets the page from the top corner of the page. The horizontal
- and vertical offsets should be typed using the current measurement units
- (usually inches).
-
- Send EOF Character: Some PostScript printers require a special character
- at the end of a file. If you experience an EOF error while printing,
- select this check box to solve the problem.
-
- IMPORTANT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Any font not supported by your printer will be printed in a Courier font.

- APPENDIX F-ADVANCED FEATURES
-
- DRAG AND DROP TEXT EDITING
-
- Drag and Drop editing is the easiest way to move or copy a selection of
- text in one operation.
-
- To move text using Drag and Drop editing:
-
- * Select the text you wish to move.
-
- * Point to the selected text and then hold down the election button. When
- the Drag and Drop pointer appears (a pointer with a grey box beneath
- it), drag the dotted insertion point that appears in the text, to the
- new location.
-
- * Release the Selection button to drop the text in place. To copy text
- using Drag and Drop editing:
-
- * Select the text you wish to copy
-
- * Point to the selected text, hold down the Selection button and depress
- the Ctrl key. When the Drag and Drop pointer appears (a pointer with a
- grey box beneath it and a plus sign in the corner), drag the dotted
- insertion point that appears in the text, to the new location.
-
- * Release the Selection button to drop the text in place.
-
- Drag and Drop can be turned on and off from "Text Settings" ("Change
- Settings" command, Settings menu).
-
- Drag and Drop usually works best if you set the Workbench Input
- preferences to use a smaller "Double-click Delay".
-
- Unfortunately, you cannot Drag and Drop text between table cells.
-
- Page 283
-
-
-
- ADVANCED MAIL MERGING
-
- There are several selective commands which you can use while mail
- merging.
-
- «:NEXT»
-
- This skips on to the next record in the files. It is useful when printing
- labels, as you can have a page with several records, for example:
-
- «Name»
- «Address»
- «Postcode»
- «:NEXT»
-
- «Name»
- «Address»
- «Postcode »
-
- Note that the «:NEXT» command is preceded by a colon to distinguish it
- from a normal field name.
-
- «:SKIP» And «ENDSKIP»
-
- These two commands precede and follow a group of field names where you
- want empty fields to pick up the data from the following field. This is
- useful for addresses where some fields in the address may be empty and you
- would want all the filled fields to be grouped together rather than having
- gaps left. For example:
-
- If using fields NAME, STREET, STREET2, TOWN, COUNTY, POSTCODE.
-
- You could find:
-
- Mr Brown¶
- 2 Elms Street¶
- ¶
- Launceston¶
- Cornwall¶
- PL10 8JY¶
-
- Mr Brown's record didn't contain and data in STREET2.
-
- Page 284
-
- To avoid this you would enter the following in your merge letter:
-
- «:SKIP»«Name»
-
- «Street»
-
- «Street2»
-
- «Town »
-
- «County»
-
- «Postcode»«:ENDSKIP»
-
- For the example record, this would cause the contents of TOWN to be
- inserted where STREET2 should be, COUNTY to be inserted where TOWN should
- be and POSTCODE to be inserted where COUNTY should be with the blank space
- being left at the end of the group where POSTCODE would normally be. The
- Endskip command prevents the data from any other field references in the
- letter, after the group, being inserted in the POSTCODE position.
-
- The result for this example would be:
-
- Mr Brown¶
- 2 Elms Street¶
- Launceston¶
- Cornwall¶
- PL10 8JL¶
-
- «:IF "FIELD" = "value" NEXT» And
-
- «:IF "FIELD" = "value" STOP»
-
- These two commands allow conditional checks of the data in fields to
- allow the printing of only selected records. The first command will skip
- to the next record if the field contents match the value. The second
- command will stop the printing of the document if the field matches the
- value.
-
- In place of the '=' comparison you can also use any of the following:
-
- <=- (or-<) - Less than or equal to
-
- >= (or =>) - Greater than or equal to
-
- <> - Does not equal to
-
- < - Less than
-
- > - Greater than
-
- Page 285
-
- The comparisons are made between the text in FIELD and the text in
- VALUE. Numerical Comparisons are not supported, only alphanumeric. FIELD
- and value must be surrounded by quotes.
-
- For example, to print a document to all the people living in towns whose
- names start with the letters D to G:
-
- «:if "TOWN" < "d" NEXT»
-
- «:if "TOWN" > "G" STOP»
-
- To print a letter only to those people living in London:
-
- «:IF "TOWN" < "London" NEXT»
-
- «:IF "TOWN" > "London" STOP»
-
- The use of stop above assumes that the data file is sorted
- alphabetically. If it isn't, only use the NEXT Command, to skip to the
- NEXT record. For example:
-
- «:IF "TOWN" < > "London" NEXT»
-
- Note that the NEXT command in the conditional checks skips to the NEXT
- record in a similar manner to the «:NEXT» command so that you could use
- data from a record prior to a conditional check and then use the next
- record for the rest of the document after the check.
-
- Also note that all comparisons are case insensitive.

-
- APPENDIX G-SHARING WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS
-
- SHARING TEXT
-
- Wordworth can open and Save documents in a variety of popular text and
- word processing file formats, including Wordworth, Kindwords3, "ASCII
- text", RTF (Rich Text Format), WordPerfect 5.1 (MSDOS), Microsoft Word
- (MSDOS), MS Windows Write, Wordstar and Microsoft Works.
-
- Each of these file Formats stores information in different ways. Only the
- standard Wordworth format is capable of storing all the formatting
- information used to describe the appearance of a Wordworth document.
- Saving Wordworth documents in a different document format will lose some
- of the formatting information.
-
- The following lists what information is stored in, or retrieved from,
- each format.
-
- WORDWORTH
-
- Opening and saving: ALL text, typefaces, type styles, paragraph
- formatting, page breaks, page sizes, and graphics.
-
- ASCII
-
- Opening: All characters are read as text characters. Carriage returns or
- line feeds are treated as paragraph breaks.
-
- Saving: Only text and paragraph break. All typeface, type style,
- paragraph formatting, graphics, page break and page size information is
- discarded.
-
- RTF (RICH TEXT FORMAT)
-
- Opening and saying: Text, typefaces, type style, foreign
- characters, indents, paragraph alignment information, and
- page break are maintained. Graphics are discarded.
-
- WORDPERFECT 5.1 (MSDOS)
-
- Opening and saving: Text and type style only.
-
- MS Word (MSDOS)
-
- Opening: Text and type style only.
-
- Microsoft Works
-
- Opening: Text and type style only.
-
- Wordstar
-
- Opening: Text and type style only.
-
- Page 287
-
-
- MS WINDOWS WRITE
-
- Opening: Text, type style, indents, and page breaks are maintained.
- Typefaces and graphics are discarded.
-
-
-
- SHARING GRAPHICS
-
- BITMAPPED GRAPHICS
-
- Wordworth can place bitmap pictures drawn in IFF, TIF, GIF, PCX, BMP, IMG
- formats as long as the appropriate Filters have been installed.
-
- Bitmap graphics are like bitmap fonts and are prone to the same scaling
- restrictions when printing. This means that your pictures may appear
- 'jagged' when printed.
-
- SCALABLE GRAPHICS
-
- Wordworth can place scalable pictures drawn in CGM or GEM formats as long
- as the appropriate filters have been installed.
-
- Scalable clip art is like a scalable font, it can be scaled to any size,
- and retains its perfect quality. When printing, because of its
- scalability, the quality will be perfect and just as good as your scalable
- outline fonts.

-
- APPENDIX H-MAKING THE MOST OF MEMORY
-
- Memory is used by Wordworth for storing the program, its information and
- the documents created with it.
-
- The following explanations should help you understand where memory is
- used, how much memory various Commands might need, and what to do if the
- computer runs out of memory.
-
-
-
- WHAT IS MEMORY?
-
- Memory, sometimes referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory) can be
- thought of in terms of a large box of a certain volume. The more that is
- put into the box, the less space there is free.
-
- When commands are removed from the box, more space is made. Thus, the
- more programs and information that are stored in a computers memory, the
- less space is available for storing information. Freeing up information,
- or quitting a program, will free more space for use by other programs.
-
- The amount of memory is measured in bytes. The larger the number the more
- memory is available. A Kilobyte is 1024 bytes. A Megabyte is 1024
- Kilobytes. A Kilobyte is often referred to as a "K" and Megabytes are
- sometimes called a "Meg."
-
- The Amiga's memory comes in two varieties Chip RAM and Fast RAM.
-
- Chip RAM is that memory that can be accessed by the Amiga's graphics and
- sound chips. Since there is usually less Chip RAM than Fast RAM on an
- Amiga, many programs which use graphics seem to run out of memory, even
- when there is plenty of Fast RAM free.
-
- Information stored in Fast RAM can be accessed or changed faster than
- Chip RAM, so programs are usually stored in Fast RAM.
-
- Wordworth requires at least 1.5 Megabytes of memory to work, of which the
- program uses about 800K, and the operating system uses about 100K.
-
- When a document is opened, memory is required to store information about
- the window itself; this could be up to 50K for each window, and is stored
- mainly in Chip RAM Therefore, opening several windows can quickly use up a
- lot of memory. Wordworth is capable of opening up to eight windows, but
- this will depend on the amount of available memory.
-
- Page 289
-
- When a window is opened, memory is used for storing the actual document
- text, which is stored in Fast RAM.
-
- Although in theory 10000 characters it text takes 1 0000 bytes of memory
- (10KB), Wordworth will use more. It needs to also store information about
- the text, such as the formatting of lines, paragraphs and type styles.
- This explains why trying to open a 50K ASCII text document might require
- up to 200K of memory.
-
- The Wordworth screen also takes up Chip RAM. A higher resolution, or more
- colours will occupy more memory. Inserting pictures in a document requires
- a great deal of memory, which will vary depending on the size and number
- of colours.
-
- The amount of available memory can be checked at any time by choosing
- About (Project menu). If free memory looks low (that is, less than 50000
- bytes in total), it is a good idea to save any documents and attempt to
- maximise any available memory.
-
- When available memory is low some commands may become unavailable in
- which case Wordworth will show the message Out of Memory on the current
- document's title bar.
-
- IMPORTANT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The creation of documents with many different types and sizes of fonts,
- use large amounts of memory - the larger the font, the more memory is
- needed.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Page 290
-
-
-
- MAXIMISING AVAILABLE MEMORY
-
- Follow these simple guidelines should experience low memory problems:
-
- * Always keep the number of open documents to a minimum.
-
-
- * High resolution screen modes use more memory, choose "Change Settings"
- (Settings menu), select Screen and click "Screen Mode" to change the
- screen mode to medium resolution.
-
- * Colour uses more memory, choose "Change Settings" (Settings men u),
- select Screen and click "Screen Mode" to reduce the number of colours.
-
- * Quit any other programs running on the Workbench.
-
- * Close the Workbench screen (choose "Close Workbench" command from the
- Settings menu). This will save at least 32k of memory.
-
- If memory gets very low, you may need to delete any pictures in the
- current document.
-
- One area that can easily be overlooked is the clipboard. If you have been
- using the Edit menu commands Cut or Copy, text will be stored on the
- clipboard. If this text is no longer required for Pasting then clear the
- clipboard by selecting one character of text, and choose Copy from the
- Edit menu.
-
- Refer to Chapter Nine, "Customising And Optimising Wordworth" for more
- information on saving memory.

- APPENDIX J-TROUBLESHOOTING
-
- The questions and answers are divided into sections. Refer to the General
- section First and then the specific topic (Installation, Fonts, Printing).
-
-
-
- GENERAL
-
- Q. When I double-click the Wordworth icon it refuses to run and shows a
- message.
-
- A. Wordworth may not run for several reasons. If you have a hard disk,
- you may not have installed it correctly. Be sure to use the
- Ww3Install-1 program.
-
- Q. Setting a tab on the ruler seems to make the tab disappear at times.
-
- A. Be sure to release the select key whilst the mouse is still over the
- ruler. Dragging the mouse below the ruler and releasing the key will
- remove the tab.
-
- Q. When typing text into gadgets (for example, the "Page width" box), the
- text seems to be ignored occasionally.
-
- A. When text or a number is typed in a box, press the Return key to
- register the change. Simply editing the box and clicking OK may
- disregard the change.
-
- Q. Keep the mouse pointer off the colour palette and horizontal ruler
- when using keyboard shortcuts.
-
- Q. The paragraph count in Statistics (Tools menu) seems to be more than
- the number of paragraphs in the document.
-
- A. Wordworth counts the number of actual paragraphs used, including those
- with no text. A paragraph is defined as the text between two return
- characters. Therefore, if you press the Return key at the end of a
- paragraph, and then Return again, to add a blank line, Wordworth will
- count this as two paragraphs.
-
- To add space between paragraphs, rather than pressing the Return key a
- second time (to add a blank line), you should set the space using the
- Paragraph command (Format menu) and set the "Space Before" and "Space
- After" the paragraph as required.
-
- Page 297
-
- Q. The Spelling checker, Thesaurus, hyphenation or User dictionary
- facilities refuse to work and an error requester appears.
-
- A. These facilities need the "Spelling checker" or Thesaurus data files
- to work.
-
- If using floppy disks, a requester will prompt you to put the Ww3Spell
- or Ww3Extras disks into the disk drive as required. If you are using a
- hard disk, firstly, check that you have used the correct
- installation procedure.
-
- Check that Wordworth knows where the dictionary data files are
- stored. To do this, choose "Change Settings" (Settings menu) and
- select Spell. The dictionary and thesaurus will show the path it is
- using to look for the data files. Amend as necessary, for example,
- using hard disk dh0:Wordworth/Spell, using floppy disk Ww3Spell:Spell
- or Ww3EXtras:Spell.
-
- If you have at least 4 megabytes of RAM available, you can copy the
- spelling checker drawer into the RAM disk. This will make using the
- spelling checker and thesaurus considerably faster (since Wordworth
- will always check the RAM disk first before the disk).
-
- Q. Do I need to have the Spelling checker or Thesaurus disk in the disk
- drive at all times?
-
- A. I am having difficulty double-clicking to select a word, and triple-
- clicking to select a line. Try changing the time interval between
- double-clicks. This can be set from your Input preferences program
- settings on your Workbench disk. If you are using floppy disks:
-
- step 1
-
- Reset your Amiga with the Wordworth3 disk in drive df0:.
-
- step 2
-
- Insert your Workbench disk and click the disk icon. Click the Prefs
- drawer and double-click Input program. This will load the settings
- from the Wordworth3 disk.
-
- Page 298
-
- step 3
-
- Change the "Double Click Delay" slider as appropriate and then click
- Save to save your changes to the Wordworth3 disk.
-
- Q. With several documents open, Wordworth appears to stop Working.
-
- A. Check that you do not have a requester displayed in one of the
- documents (it may be hidden by another document). You will need to
- clear the requester before you can continue.
-
- Q. My Amiga keeps asking me to "Insert volume Wordworth3 in any drive",
- even after I have inserted the Wordworth3 disk.
-
- A. When you made backup copies of your Wordworth disks, you probably
- renamed them incorrectly. It's very easy to leave an extra space
- before or after the name without realising. When renaming disks, don't
- leave any characters in front of the Wordworth name, and copy the
- names as they appear on the original Wordworth disks.
-
- Q. How do I merge two files?
-
- A. Open the first document as normal and then open the second. From the
- Edit menu, choose the "Select All" command and then from the Edit
- menu, choose the Copy command (or press Right Amiga-C) to copy the
- entire contents of the second document to the clipboard.
-
- Return to the first document and place the cursor at the desired
- insertion point. Choose Paste from the Edit menu (or press Right
- Amiga-V) to paste the clipboard into the first document. Now save this
- document using a new name using the "Save As" command from the Project
- menu.
-
- Page 299
-
- Q. Although I am using the spelling checker from the RAM disk, why does
- Wordworth still ask for the Ww3Spell disk?
-
- A. When spelling checking, Wordworth looks for the Collins dictionary and
- then a User dictionary. If you add words to the User dictionary in
- RAM, once the Amiga is switched off, they would be lost. To prevent
- this, and to save your own words in the User dictionary, Wordworth
- needs the dictionary disk to be in a disk drive (although, whilst
- spelling checking, it will perform all of the checking in RAM).
-
- However, you can override this safety feature by changing the
- Dictionary text gadget in the "Spell Settings" requester ("Change
- Settings" command, Settings menu) to RAM:SPELL.
-
- Q. Paragraph formatting (centre, left, right, fully) does not always seem
- to work correctly.
-
- A. Use the "Show Codes" command document menu) to show codes and check
- that the paragraph doesn't contain tabs (which are shown by a
- triangle), as these will override any justification.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Q. Wordworth failed to install on my hard disk.
-
- A. You probably have insufficient free space on your hard disk. Wordworth
- requires at least 3 megabytes of disk space. Try deleting some files
- on the hard disk before installing.
-
- Q. After Wordworth prompted for Name, Organization and License Number it
- quit and returned to Workbench.
-
- A. Wordworth needs to be personalized before you can use the program. You
- need to type your Name, Organization and License Number. Thereafter,
- this information is shown every time you use the program, confirming
- that you are the licensed user of Wordworth.
-
- The information must be typed correctly, typing blank lines, or an
- invalid License Number will cause Wordworth to quit.
-
- Page 300
-
- Q. When installing Wordworth, l get an error requester telling me my
- Wordworth disk has a read/ write error.
-
- A. Your Amiga has detected a fault with the disk, and therefore the disk
- needs replacing. If this occurs on your original master disks, return
- them to Digita and include a stamped self-addressed envelope. We will
- send you tested replacements by return.
-
-
-
- FONTS
-
- Q. Can I use PD and ColorFonts in Wordworth?
-
- A. Yes, just copy them into your System Fonts: drawer (on the Wordworth3
- floppy disk).
-
- Q. When l select a new typeface, only half of the font appears on the
- screen.
-
- A. You should set the line spacing to Auto and let Wordworth work it out
- (Paragraph command, Format menu).
-
- Q. Large italic fonts sometimes become corrupt.
-
- A. Workbench 2 sometimes slightly corrupts (spurious pixels may appear).
- Try to avoid large Amiga bit-mapped italic fonts until a solution is
- found.
-
-
-
- PRINTING
-
- Q. I wish to select more than one printer driver from the printer list,
- and if I do, how does Wordworth know which driver I wish to use.
-
- A. Start the "Add New Printer" program on the Ww3Install-1 disk to
- install a new printer. If you are using a floppy disk system, you can
- only install one printer driver (disk space is very tight).
-
- You make your choice of printer driver from the "Print Setup"
- requester (Project menu). Choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) to
- store your printer settings permanently (as default).
-
- Page 301
-
- Q. I have a PostScript printer, but no hard disk on which to store the
- PostScript screen fonts. How can I use them on my floppy disk system.
-
- A. Contact Digita technical support.
-
- Q. When printing multiple page documents, the paging seems to get out of
- sync. Sometimes the bottom of a page appears at the top of the next.
-
- A. Check the page size you are using (Document command, Format menu),
- does it match the paper size?
-
- If you are using the a HP_Deskjet or HP_LaserJet printer, you may only
- get a ten inch page.
-
- Q. Each time I start Wordworth I have to manually change the printer
- driver.
-
- A. To save them permanently you need to choose "Save Settings" (Settings
- menu)
-
- Q. I cannot seem to get the "Print Method- "Printer Font" to work, and
- even though Draft is not selected, the output always appears in draft
- mode.
-
- A. You have selected the Generic printer driver from the "Print Setup"
- requester. Select the appropriate one for your printer and click OK.
- Then choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) to permanently save the
- settings.
-
- Q. Does Wordworth support the extra fonts supplied in my printer' s font
- cartridge?
-
- A. Not at the moment. However, it is our aim to support as many printer
- fonts as possible and we are constantly expanding our range of printer
- drivers and fonts.
-
- If you own a font set that Wordworth doesn't support, we need to know
- the following information about the font: Its name, sizes, styles, the
- font width (metric tables) for each character, and the control codes
- to select them. This information is printed at the rear of most
- printer/font manuals, and so you may wish to consider loaning us the
- manual for investigation.
-
- Page 302
-
- Q. I have just purchased the very latest in printer technology, but
- Cannot find a printer driver to match, help!
-
- A. Digita do not write printer drivers. It's best to contact a PD
- library).
-
- Q. When printing my outline fonts using the "Print Method"-Normal, I get
- the message 'Error: Not enough memory'.
-
- A. Check that you have correctly set the printer driver ("Print Setup"
- requester, Project menu).
-
- You will probably find that your printer driver is set to Generic. If
- a suitable printer driver for your printer does not appear in the list
- box, you will have to install the appropriate driver using the Add New
- Printer program (Ww3Install-1 disk).
-
- Q. I own a Daisywheel printer but do not seem able to get the graphics to
- appear on my printouts.
-
- A. You won't! Daisywheel printers cannot output graphics, only text. As
- with all printers, you will need to check their specification.
-
- Q. I cannot get any graphics to appear on my printouts, only text.
-
- A. Check your printer is capable of printing graphics and that you have
- selected the correct printer driver from the "Print Setup" requester
- ("Print Setup" command, Project menu)
-
- Q. When dumping graphics to the printer, all I get is garbage sent to the
- printer.
-
- A. You have not selected the correct driver for your printer. Check the
- "Print Setup" requester is properly configured.
-
- Q. I want to use a Serial Printer instead of the Parallel default. How do
- I change the settings.
-
- A. Click the Wordworth program icon and choose Information from the
- Workbench Icons menu. Select the (DEVICE=SERIAL) tooltype and delete
- the brackets, press the Return key and click Save.
-
- Now start Wordworth as normal.
