Installing PageTools
PageMaker 5.0 or 6.0 must be installed on the Macintosh prior to installing PageTools.
1. Restart with Extensions off, insert the PageTools disk, then run the installer by double-clicking the PageTools installer icon.
2. After successful installation, restart your Macintosh.
Registering PageTools
1. Launch PageMaker.
2. When requested, enter the serial number located on the PageTools disk label.
3. Please register using one of the built-in electronic registration methods.
Microtek Scanners
Microtek scanners may interfere with the built-in electronic registration process. If you are using a Microtek scanner, please turn it off before attempting to register PageTools. You may turn the scanner back on once the registration process is complete.
Software Compatibility Notes
Directory Assistance II
If Norton Directory Assistance II is installed and PagePreview is turned on, users will receive an error of Type 1 when selecting the Open dialog box. To avoid this, turn off Directory Assistance or the “display previews” preference in PagePreview.
Adobe Type Reunion
Adobe Type Reunion can cause font information to appear in the PageTools pop-up menus if you are using a large number of fonts. When ATR is loaded with many fonts it begins to use resources from other places, including PageTools. If this ATR conflict occurs, load fewer fonts, or use a font management utility such as Suitcase to reduce the number of fonts loaded at one time.
Thunder 7 & BigThes
If Thunder 7's or BigThes interactive spell checking is active in PageMaker while running PageTools, items in PageMaker's menus begin to disappear. To avoid this, turn off interactive checking.
