ProWrite Utility Program
Introduction
Are you a ProWrite user? If not, this program will not be of much use
to you. If you are, read on...
Have you ever spent long hours working on a ProWrite document and then
decided that you wanted to adjust all of your margins by some amount
(like adding half an inch to all paragraphs' left margins, whatever they
may currently be) or changing all usages of one font to another?
Well, PW_Utility is the solution. It allows you to adjust the left
margin, the right margin, and change all usages of one font (you can
choose a specific size, too, if you want) to another font (of a specific
size, or of the closest available size, if you want).
Detailed Instructions:
PW_Utility can only be run from the CLI. Invoke it with no arguments
(just type "PW_Utility") to get its command line syntax and additional
documentation.
Note that when changing fonts, the new font must have been present on
the system when the file was saved by ProWrite. If your new font is one
that has been added to your system since you saved the document, you
must use ProWrite to open and resave the document before changing fonts
with PW_Utility. This restriction may be removed in a future version of
PW_Utility.
Also note that all margin references are in decipoints (there are 720
decipoints per inch) and are with respect to the left end of the ruler
in ProWrite. Be careful not to adjust the margins such that the left
margin is same as or to the right of the right margin; this condition is
not detected by PW_Utility and would probably confuse ProWrite.
Tab stops are also adjusted when margins are adjusted. Any tab stops
that are on the original right margin will remain on the new right
margin. All other tab stops will be adjusted by the same amount as the
left margin.

Related Products:
ProWrite is a widely-available word processor developed by New Horizons
Software, Inc. It supports color, different fonts, character styles
(including superscripts and subscripts). It is, in general, a very well
designed product.
Synapse Software has developed ProScript, a PostScript driver program
for ProWrite. It takes ProWrite document files as input and produces
PostScript output which can drive any PostScript-equipped device -
typically a laser printer such as the Apple LaserWriter. ProScript is
still in beta-test; write to Synapse at the address above if you want
to be informed when ProScript becomes available.
