- 1. INSTALLATION
-
- Claris Home Page Lite will install the following
- folders and files onto your hard disk:
- - The Claris Home Page Lite application
- - A Clip Art folder and images
- - A Help folder, containing files in HTML format
- - An empty Startup folder. (If you would like Home
- Page to automatically open a file, such as a
- library, place that file or a shortcut to it in
- this folder).
- - A "Templates" folder, containing web page
- templates for different styles of pages
- - This Read Me file
- - A text file version of the Claris Software
- License Agreement
-
- When installing Claris Home Page Lite, free
- disk space of approximately 20MB is required for
- use as temporary space during the installation
- process.
-
-
- 2. TECHNICAL NOTES AND TIPS
-
- A. Find/Change Limitation
-
- Find in Find/Change is limited to 31
- characters. A Find for a text string longer
- than 31 characters followed by a Replace
- replaces only the first 31 characters of that
- string.
-
- B. Double-clicking on an HTML File Opens
- it in a Browser
-
- Only one application is allowed to be the
- default viewer for a given file extension. In
- this case, the browser is the default viewer
- for HTML files, so it is opened when you click
- on an HTML file. To open an HTML file in
- Claris Home Page Lite, drag the file itself
- (not a shortcut) to the Claris Home Page icon,
- or start Claris Home Page Lite directly, and
- choose Open from the File menu. You can also
- change the association of the file type-see your
- Windows documentation for more details.
-
- C. Multiple Browsers can be Opened When a
- Page is Previewed
-
- Some browsers will restart each time a page is
- previewed and a new copy of the application is
- opened. To free memory, close the application
- windows not in use.
-
- D. Inserting AVI Files
-
- Insert .AVI files through the Insert Plugin
- menu item. AVI files will not show in the
- Insert QuickTime movie dialog.
-
- E. Working With Remote Files
-
- If you're exchanging files with a site outside
- a network firewall that requires PASV ftp,
- you'll need to use a different application to
- upload and download files. The save may
- appear to work, but will create blank files 0k
- in size.
-
- F. QuickTime Movies for Web Pages
-
- QuickTime Movies need to be flattened to play
- in web browsers.
-
- G. Crash after inserting a QuickTime movie
-
- Video cards that use Hardware Drivers for
- QuickTime may cause a crash with Home Page if
- you insert a QuickTime or QuickTime VR movie.
- To fix this problem go into the QuickTime
- control panel and click "More". Select the
- "Video" tab. Under "Current Video Settings"
- set "Draw Method" from "Hardware Driver" to
- "Video Driver".
-
- H. Resizing Movie Files
-
- Movie files, such as QuickTime VR panorama or
- .AVI files insert very small. They must be be
- resized manually.
-
- I. Uploading files to AOL
-
- Several considerations must be made prior to
- uploading your Web Site files to America Online.
- If you need further information on any of these
- items, please sign in to America Online and goto
- keyword "MyPlace". Details regarding the amount
- of disk space available to members and other
- special conditions are covered in the help
- information at this location.

- America Online will automatically create a
