- Description:
- ************
- Footer.arexx is an arexx-macro for Final Writer. This macro provides an easy
- way of making footers when using Final Writer. However it is not a perfect
- footer-tool and it is not totally automatic, but for my needs it seems to be
- sufficient.
-
- Requirement:
- ************
- You need an Amiga computer that can run Final Writer, and you also need the
- program Final Writer (big supprise). In order to run this macro, you must have
- arexx installed on your system, and it must be running.
-
- Installation:
- *************
- Copy the Footer.arexx file into you macro-drawer for Final Writer (or another
- drawer you want to execute it from)
- You must run Arexx to make this macro work. (You can simply do this by drag
- the Arexx-icon into you wb-startup drawer.
-
- How it works:
- *************
- You must remeber that this is not a very advanced footer-tool, but if you
- follow my way of doing it, it will help you.
-
- This is a short introduction to how to do it:
- 1. Start the Final-Writer program.
- 2. Use a new document
- 3. Write the sentence: "For many years now, I have been writing on a project
- called CHAT"
- 4. Let the cursor stand behind the work CHAT (without a space)
- 5. Choose the menu USER, OTHER, AREXX SCRIPT
- 6. Execute the file Footer.arexx
- 7. A window will then pop up, and ask you to "Enter the footer number"
- 8. Enter the number "1" and press OK ("1" is also default)
- 9. Then another window will pop-up and ask you to "Enter the number of extra
- footnote lines"
- 10.Enter the number "0" and press OK ("0" is also default)
- 11.Then a line will appear and the word CHAT with number will also appear.
- 12.You may then enter the text: "is an acronym for Conflict HAndling Tool-kit"
- 13.Use the arrow-keys to position the cursor at the first line of the document
- and place the cursor behind the word "CHAT"
- 14.Write then: ". I have also done some work in a project called ACM"
- 15.Execute the Footer.arexx once again
- 16.Enter the number "2" and press OK
- 17.Enter the number "0" and press OK
- 18.Then enter the next footer text and so on...
-
- The first footer (number "1") will allways draw a line and must be the first
- footer. It is also important to let the spacing between the text and the
- footer be the same all the time. If you press enter many times between the
- text and the footer, it will all get messed up.
- The requester "Enter the number of extra footnote lines" should be used if
- a footertext is longer than one line. This function is used to ajust the
- number of enters [CHR13] between the text and the footer.

- BUGS
- ****
- I don't know any bugs for the time being. The program does have some constrains,
- but if these are followed it should work.
