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
