- Description:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Final Writer is indeed one of the most powerful word
- publishers on the Amiga, yet much of its potential is not
- easily realised. The menus are comprehensive, yet lacking
- in flexibility.
-
- I have written this set of AREXX macros to enhance Final
- Writer and make it even easier to use. With so many macros,
- the best way to make use of them is by using the
- customisable toolbar.
-
-
- Installation:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You don't need an Installer script, do you?
-
- All you have to do is copy all the files in in this
- archive into the FWMacros drawer in your Final Writer area.
- The files all have icons so this a simple task using the
- workbench.
-
-
- Useage:
- ~~~~~~~
- Useage is fairly straightforward. I have tried to make
- the macros as complete as possible. It is always possible
- to cancel a big operation (although mistakes cannot be
- undone).
-
- I have found that the best way to make use of these
- macros is to create a set of customised tool bars. I would
- have included my FW.Prefs file with these all set up,
- however, in testing this on a friend's A1200, this caused
- more trouble than it was worth, since all of the commands
- were looking for paths as named on my machine.
-
- I'm sorry, but you'll have to set up the toolbars
- yourself.
