- Crossword Clipper for Windows
- -----------------------------
-
- Crossword Clipper is a Microsoft Windows Clipboard utility, and a
- companion application to Crossword Creator and Crossword Publisher.
- It is not an "editor" like Crossword Creator; it is a customizeable
- "viewer" and layout tool.
-
- CWCLIP's singular purpose is to place a WYSIWYG image of your puzzle
- into the Clipboard, so you can "paste" it into another Windows
- application. Crossword Clipper is not a complex application, and its
- operation should be immediately familiar to any Windows user.

- System Requirements
- -------------------
-
- - IBM PC or compatible computer, 80286 processor or higher
- - Microsoft Windows 3.0, standard or enhanced mode
- - Crossword Creator 5.0 required for puzzle design
-
-
- Setup
- -----
-
- 1. Copy the VBRUN100.DLL library file from the CROSSWORD CLIPPER
- DISK into your main Windows subdirectory, usually \WIN. This
- library file must be present before you can run CWCLIP.
-
- 2. Copy CWCLIP.EXE from the CROSSWORD CLIPPER DISK to a subdirectory
- on your hard disk. CWCLIP requires Microsoft Windows 3.0
- "standard" mode or "enhanced" mode. Run it as you would any
- other Windows application.
-
- 3. If you are going to add CWCLIP to one of your Program Manager
- groups, you may want to add Crossword Creator as well. A Windows
- icon, CWC.ICO, has been provided on the CROSSWORD CLIPPER DISK.

-
- Tips and Hints
- --------------
-
- 1. Don't try to run CWCLIP from the distribution floppy disk. If you
- do, Windows may load VBRUN100.DLL from the floppy, too, and
- CWCLIP will run very s--l--o--w--l--y.
-
- 2. CWCLIP will only read XWP-formatted puzzle files. You can create
- .XWP files with Crossword Creator's "Export" tool.
-
- 3. To change the size of the puzzle boxes, simply resize CWCLIP's
- window -- the puzzle will be redrawn to fill the new window
- dimensions. Note, however, that resizing the window does not
- alter the font size you've selected. It is up to you to select
- an appropriate font for the new box size.
-
- 4. Avoid resizing the puzzle grid once you've pasted it into another
- application. Since you are now manipulating a bitmap graphic,
- rather than specific fonts and lines, resizing the image will
- distort its clarity. Instead, go back to CWCLIP. Resize the
- grid, clip it again, then re-paste the new image into your target
- application.
-
- 5. Some Windows applications, Pagemaker, for example, allow you to
- choose the resolution at which graphics are displayed. Since
- CWCLIP creates relatively high-resolution bitmaps, you may only
- see a "rough" image on the screen if you've selected a
- low-resolution graphics display. The resolution of the display,
- however, should have no effect on printed output.
