professional looking color output quickly and easily.
This READMECA.TXT file contains updated, supplemental information
to help you use the Color Advisor. If any of the information in

Enabling the Color Advisor
==========================
Color Advisor is automatically installed with the printer driver
software. After installing Color Advisor, you must activate it in
the printer driver dialog box. You can access the printer driver
either through an application's Print or Print Setup dialog, or
directly through the Control Panel\Printers dialog. Select the
"Setting" tab in the printer driver, and click on the green check
mark to activate Color Advisor.
Using the Color Advisor
========================
Color Advisor is a tool that assists you in colorizing documents.
Color Advisor is optimized for use with text documents that have
limited graphics. We recommend using Color Advisor primarily with
word processing documents and to a lesser degree with spreadsheet
and presentation files.
When Color Advisor is activated, it will appear after you click
File/Print from within your application. Color Advisor displays
your document, and allows you to select color schemes, add color
to text and graphics, add backgrounds and enhance text with special
effects.
Color Advisor has been tested to work with the following software
applications:
* Microsoft Corporation
Word 6.0 & 7.0
Excel 5.0 & 7.0
PowerPoint 4.0 & 7.0
Write 3.11
Notepad 3.11
WordPad 1.0
Paintbrush
Paint 1.0
* WordPerfect
WordPerfect 6.1
Quattro Pro 6.0
Presentations 2.0, 3.0
* Lotus
AmiPro 3.1
Lotus 1-2-3, Ver. 5
Freelance Graphics 2.1
* Intuit
Quicken 5.0
Quickbooks
* DogByte
Pattern Maker 1.1
Please refer to the "Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions" section at
the end of this file for more information regarding the use of the
Color Advisor.
Recommended Print Settings for Color Advisor
=============================================
Color Advisor should be used with the "Color" and "Automatic"
settings selected in the printer driver.
To Improve Printing Speed:
=======================================
*Turn off the "Print Manager" in the Windows "Control Panel". This
may increase your printing speed by as much as 25% depending on the
computer you are using.
*Under the 386 Enhanced icon in the Windows 3.1x "Control Panel",
add or create a permanent swap file that is from 4MB to 10MB. See
your Windows documentation for these instructions.
*Limit the number of colors on each page; too many colors can make
the image confusing and less effective as well as cause the print
speed to slow down.
*Color Advisor is optimized for use with True Type fonts. To obtain
the best performance, replace any bitmap fonts in your document with
True Type fonts.
Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
=======================================
1. A mouse is required to use Color Advisor. Common "command
keys" or "hot keys" are not supported.
2. Objects that will be smaller than 5 pixels in height or width when
printed will not be colorized by Color Advisor. The screen fonts
"Modern", "Script" and "Roman" have a thickness of only 1 pixel
when printed, and cannot be colored by Color Advisor.
3. If your document contains ATM fonts and your video display is set
to display 256 colors, changes to the colors in the Paint Box may
not be immediately reflected in the text in the document viewing
area. A Zoom/Unzoom, or any action that causes the document to be
re-drawn will correct the display.
4. If you attempt to print using Color Advisor while your printer is
off line, you must take the following steps to fully cancel the
print job. First respond to the off line error message by pressing
Retry. Next press the Cancel button in the Color Advisor print
progress dialog box.
5. When using Color Advisor under Windows 95, use ALT-ESC to switch
between tasks rather than ALT-TAB.
6. If your Word Perfect document contains pages in alternate page
orientation (one page is landscape, the next is portrait) it will
be sent to Color Advisor as multiple files. You may still use
Color Advisor, but you will have to colorize each page separately.
7. Color Advisor does not support applications that use batch printing
processes, such as Microsoft Office Binder. Please disable Color
Advisor before printing with these applications.
8. If you are using fonts with large point sizes and text effects with
Windows 95, it is recommended that you use the Spool Setting "raw"
instead of the default Spool data format "EMF".
9. If you are using Windows 95, and your AmiPro portrait document
prints out in landscape, turn off background printing in AmiPrint
and the document will print correctly.
10. Color Advisor is not compatible with Microsoft BOB. Color Advisor
will be automatically disabled when MS BOB is running.
11. It is recommended that you do not use Color Advisor when printing
from the Windows File Manager. Instead print from within the
application used to create the document.
12. Color Advisor does not fully support Quicken version 4.0. If you
want to use Color Advisor with Quicken, please upgrade to Quicken
version 5.0.
13. Color Advisor may not correctly display or print rotated text in
Lotus 1-2-3. Eliminate rotated text in order to display and print
the document correctly.
14. If images in Word Perfect Presentations do not display properly in
Color Advisor, they may be device dependent bitmaps. To reformat
the bitmaps so that they display properly, from the File menu
select Save As. Then save the file as an 8 bit bitmap. Close the
file, then reopen the new file. The images should now display
correctly in Color Advisor.
