- **************** Removing this application *******************
-
- While trying to remove this program, you may be asked if you
- would like to delete some files that are shared with other
- applications. These files are usually installed in the Windows
- System directory. We highly recommend that you select NO when
- this dialog box is prompted to ensure that other applications
- are not affected. If there are files that are not deleted from
- the ColorStore directory, you may remove them through the Windows
- Explorer.
-
- *********** Printing Instructions for Frame Projects ***********
-
- Please note that, when selected, one instruction sheet will
- print with each frame. If you are planning to print more than
- one copy, and do not want more than one copy of the instruction
- sheet to print, you should print one frame with the instructions
- box checked and then resend the rest of your frames without the
- instructions box selected.
-
- ******************* LZW Compressed TIF files ****************
-
- This program does not support importing of LZW Compressed .TIF
- files. These files need to be decompressed before importing them
- into the program.
-
- ********************* Printing ******************************
-
- If you experience any problems with text, graphics, or colors
- printing incorrectly, you should try to adjust your printer
- settings before calling technical support. Doing so often
- corrects the problem. Always set your printer to the highest
- quality settings for graphics.

-
- ******************** CARD AND ENVELOPES ******************
- This program uses shaded gray areas on card envelopes to indicate
- cut-out areas. Because of border limitations, the shaded gray
- areas do not fully extend to the edge of a page. To obtain the
- correct cut-out dimensions of an envelope, make sure that you
- begin to cut out the shaded gray areas from the edge of the page.
-
- Depending on the type of printer and the print options chosen,
- these guides can become very light or disappear entirely. Refer
- to the manual for instructions on cutting and folding envelopes.
-
- Once the envelope is made, the flap will overlap the back so
- that the envelope can be glued shut. The flap may cover stamps
- or text placed at the top of the envelope back (The top of the
- envelope back is immediately below the dashed line drawn
- across the back of the envelope as seen on the screen).
-
- ******************** RESIZING HANDLES ********************
- Resizing handles for both stamps and text boxes are black.
- When an object is a very dark color, the handles can disappear
- against the dark background. These objects can be resized by
- slowly moving the cursor and watching for it to change from an
- arrow to a resize indicator, then click and drag to resize the
- object.
-
- Similarly, the dashed line borders of text boxes can disppear
- against dark background art.
-
- ************************* ARTWORK ************************
- All of this program's artwork is designed to give the
- highest possible quality when printed. In the small preview
- screens, some details may be lost because of the small size.
- This situation can be further aggravated by low resolution
- monitors. However, your cards, frames, and envelopes will
- look great when printed.
