How Do I install this?
Intro Bit
In the archive, there are four directories,
HTML, FWMacros, TextClips, docs
These directories contain HTML documentation ( this Web area ) as well as the arexx scripts
and the text clips, and a sample Final Writer document with the button strip attached.
The Button strip file
The button strip is attached to the file cbs/docs/cbs.doc.fw
. Load this document
into your copy of Final Writer, and you should see three additional button strips to the normal
user button strip, numbered 2, 3, and 4. These are the CBS button strips to which the arexx
scripts are attached. If you now save this file without any of the save tools, menus, or buttons
(from the Project.. Preferences..Save Final Writer Menu) then the next time you start Final
Writer with an untitled document, the new button strips should be attached.
You now need to make sure the scripts are in the correct directories on your hard drive.
Arexx Macros
The Arexx Macros should be placed in the Finalwriter drawer " FWMACROS
". This is where all the other FWMacros are stored.
For the Macros to work imediately, this needs to be a drawer with the full path :
work:text/finalwriter/FWMacros/
TextClips
For the text clips to work imediately, you need to place them in a directory with the full path:
data:text/rawtext/
Oi! thats a hassle !
Yes, I know it's a hassle. The problem is, Finalwriter looks for the full path of all of it's macros
and text clips. It doesn't even look for nice assigns, which means at present, unless your paths
are exactly the same as my original paths, your macros will not work.
Finalwriter will tell you that it cannot find the Arexx script. this means you shall have to open
up the user button strip preferences ( accessed from the View...Preferences menu) and re-assign
every individual html macros and text clip to where they exist on your hard drive.
C'mon Woody, you should be able to do something about this...
