You can open text articles created with PageLiner, PageStream or other Amiga programs. PageLiner can open only ASCII text files. Each text file will be displayed in its own window, and you can open as many text files as you need, memory permitting.
PageLiner can only open Amiga ASCII files. ASCII files created on other computers should be inserted into an open text window with the Insert command in the Project menu.
PageLiner uses the Amiga Standard file requesters for opening and saving files. The requester has an attached menu with additional options. For more information on ASL file requesters, refer to your Workbench manual.
To open a previously created text article: Choose the Open command from the Project menu. Select a text filename from the file requester and click on OK. The article will appear in a window after it has loaded.
PageLiner displays text files without attributes. PageLiner provides faster text editing capabilities than PageStream because it does not display text attributes. To edit formatted text without losing its attributes, you should export the text from PageStream with PageStream text codes.
Creating a new articlePageLiner allows you to create new articles from scratch.
To create a new article: Choose the New command from the Project menu. An empty text window will open.
Saving an articleYou should save your articles before closing them to preserve the changes you have made. PageLiner can save text in ASCII format only.
To save an article for the first time: Choose the Save or Save As command from the Project menu to save the text. Enter a filename into the file requester and click on OK.
To save an article again: Choose the Save command from the Project menu.
Closing an articleYou can close a text window when you are finished working with the article. Choose the Close command from the Project menu or click on the Close gadget of the window.
