TITLE: Manuscript Columns Do Not Import Into a Table PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0 DATE: 14-Nov-1991 PROBLEM: Text in Manuscript columns or tables imports into Ami Pro without creating a table. There are tabs between the columns of text. A tab ruler with appropriate tabs is not created. Existing tabs in the Ami Pro document are used which may not match the widths of the Manuscript columns. If there are no tabs in the Ami Pro document, the text from Manuscript columns or tables will align at the left margin. SOLUTION: An enhanced Manuscript filter (MSCRIPT.FLT size 43056, dated 11-21-91) is available which will automatically create a table for text in Manuscript columns or tables. Because of the difference in column width calculation between Manuscript and Ami Pro (Ami Pro uses a smaller unit of measure to specify column widths in tables), it may be necessary to adjust the Ami Pro table column widths to accurately match the original Manuscript columns or table. Any graphics in columns will not automatically import, but these graphics files can be imported into the appropriate Ami Pro table cell after the Manuscript file is imported. Contact the Lotus Development Corporation Word Processing Division Customer Service Department at 404-256-2272 and request the Ami Pro release 2.0 filters disk. This disk contains all of the most current filters for Ami Pro release 2.0. The latest filters for Ami Pro 2.0 are also available electronically from the Lotus WPD bulletin board at 404-851-1371 and from library 2 Ami and Ami Pro on the LotusWP CompuServe forum. Download the file FILT20.EXE from either location. HOW TO INSTALL THE UPDATED FILTERS 1. From the Windows Program Manager, run File Manager (there is usually an icon in one of the Windows program groups for the File Manager). 2. In File Manager, access the drive where the updated filter files are located. For example, if the files are on a disk in drive A, select the A drive icon. 3. Select all of the filter file names (they will have an extension of .FLT). 4. Choose File / Copy. 5. For the To option, type the complete path to the Ami Pro program directory (this is usually C:\AMIPRO). 6. Choose COPY. 7. Press ALT + F4 to close File Manager, then choose OK. HOW TO ADJUST TABLE COLUMN WIDTHS 1. Place the insertion point in the column that you want to adjust. 2. Choose Table / Column/Row Size. 3. For the Width option, specify the desired amount. 4. Choose OK. 5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for each table column that needs to be changed. MOUSE SHORTCUT: With a mouse you can adjust column widths by dragging the column gridlines to the desired positions. HOW TO IMPORT GRAPHICS INTO A TABLE 1. Place the insertion point in the cell which should contain the graphic image. 2. Choose File / Import Picture. 3. Specify the graphics format in the File Type list box (this will probably be either CGM or PIC). 4. Use the Files, Directories, and Drives list boxes to locate the graphics file name. 5. Choose OK. NOTE: If you import a picture into a cell that contains data, the data is overwritten.
