d0010Description of Text File
This text file is the beginning of the body of the
document. Normally there would be a number of such
files, but for the
tutorial, we have limited it to
Tutorial
one.
d0120Headings
An inordinate number of
headings has been placed in
Headings
this file to facilitate seeing how the
Table of
Table of Contents
Contents get constructed.
d0120Page Numbers
Since this is the first file in the body of the
document, and since we wanted to go from page numbers
represented by
Roman Numerals to normal page numbers,
Roman Numerals
we started this file with the
Absolute page break line
Absolute page break \\ Page break (absolute)
set to page number 1. Normally there would not be a
page break at the top of a
Multiple Document file
Multiple document file
unless you want to force an
ODD page and there is no
ODD page \\ Page (odd)
heading at the beginning of the text which supports
starting at an ODD page.
d0120Footers
Also notice that footers have been turned back on so
that they will print.
d0120Parameter Duplication
The
.LEVEL_n lines and
.HDR_LABEL line between the
.HDR_LABEL
.LEVEL_n
Document Dflts
Special Lines are duplicated here
Special lines
exactly as they occur in the
Master file. This is
Master file
handy if you later make some minor changes to the file
(which will not alter the page numbering) and want to
print out this file only. For this reason the
.LEVEL_FORCE parameter line has also been included.
.LEVEL_FORCE
d0230Print One of Many Files
You would print this single file by setting the
Print
Print mode
mode option of the Print Options window to "
STD" and
then pressing F10.
d0230Parameters Inside Document File
If you print a Multiple File Document with the
Print
Print mode
mode option set to "
DOC", the entire group of lines
between the Document Dflts Special Lines will be
ignored. Only the parameter settings in the
Master
Master file
file are used when the Print mode is set to "DOC".
d0120Header/Footer Definition
The
Header and
Footer Definitions are also duplicated
Footer definition
Header definition
here for the same reason as the Parameter duplication.
Normally you would not do this.
d0230Header/Footer Method One
I generally create a
PCTYPE.PRO file in a document
PCTYPE.PRO
directory which is set specifically for the document I
am working on. Part of the profile file is the
Default Header and Footer definitions. I set these
definitions as I want them for the body of the
document. I can then use the "
default hdr/ftr"
Defalut hdr/ftr
Special Line to reinitialize the headers to the
profile settings in case I want to change them as
I did at the beginning of this document.
Since your profile header and footer definitions
probably don't match these settings, they were
included here.
d0230Header/Footer Method Two
Another good approach to handling
Header and
Footer
Footer definition
Header definition
definitions is to include all the definitions in the
Master file. This keeps them all in one place where
Master file
they can easily be changed together and provides
visibility for your entire document. Using this
approach there is no need to have any Header or Footer
definitions in your files.
d0230Header/Footer Method Three
Another method of dealing with
Header and
Footer
Footer definition
Header defintion
definitions is to include them all in each file of
your text. In this manner, each separate file
maintains some independence from the others.
The problem with this approach is that if you have a
standard setting, if you change the standard you have
to make the changes to all the files which reference
the standard.
Method Two, above, is probably a better approach.
Then, if you need to print a file independently, you
can always copy the Header and Footer definitions from
the
Master file.
Master file
d0010Creating the Table of Contents
The
Table of Contents is created by setting the
Print
Print mode
Table of Contents
mode option in the
Print Options window to "
TOC", and
Print options window
then pressing
All the headings will be found, passed to
INDEX.EXE,
Index.exe
and the print file referenced in the
Master file,
Master file
SMPTOC.PCT, will be created.
SMPTOC.PCT
d0010Creating the Index
Once the Table of Contents is completed and you are
happy with the way it looks, you can create the
Index
Index file
file referenced in the Master file as
SMPIND.PCT.
SMPIND.PCT
To create the Index, set the
Print mode option in the
Print mode
Print Options window to "
IND" and press
Print options window
All the print markers, there are a number of them
sprinkled through this document, will be sent to the
INDEX.EXE program where they will be inspected,
Index.exe
sorted, and organized to produce an Index.
d0120Modifying the Index
You will normally want to do some editing of the index
Index file
file since it is returned as a single column and it is
unlikely that no additions, deletions nor corrections
will have to be made.
d0120XREF File
Since the
.XREF line exists in the parameter list in
.XREF
the Master file, an
XREF file will be created with the
XREF file
filename XREF on your
default directory. This is a
Default directory
cross reference file to cross reference the location
of
page numbers in your document with page numbers in
Page numbers
your files. Inspect the file.
d0010Printing the Document
Now change the
Print mode option in the
Print Options
Print options window
Print mode
window to "
DOC" and press
F10 when the
Master file is
Master file
the current active file in
PC-Type. If you like, you
PC-Type II
can break out the print into separate files for each
page by setting the "
Output target file" to a filespec
Output target file
Page breakout
on your disk with an extension of "
.###". You can
print the entire file to disk by setting the target
file to any
filespec on your disk. You can send the
Filespec
output to your printer by specifying
LPT1 as the
target file.
Or you can just view the document on your screen as
it would appear if it were printed. To do this, set
the
Print mode to "
VWD" and press
Print mode
d0010Single File Output
You could edit the file
SMPDC2.PCT, make some minor
SMPDC2.PCT
changes, and print it separately by selecting the
Print mode "
STD", or you could view it by selecting
Print mode
the "
VWS" Print mode option and pressing
