2.0 WORKING WITH COPYWRITER
2.1 INSTALL AND UNINSTALL Contents
CopyWriter features a build-in Setup function that let you install or
uninstall the program. This feature makes the CopyWriter executable a stand
alone application, that can be used without a 'normal' installer.
However, for user convenience, CopyWriter is shipped with the Inno Setup
installer.
When CopyWriter is started for the first time, the internal Setup function
will finish the installation process by writing all default settings into
the registry. The Setup function (Tools > Setup) offers two options:
Use this version (Registry install)
CopyWriter will delete all settings made by an other CopyWriter 2.0x version.
Then it will write all default settings to the registry and associate Rich
Text Format files (*.rtf) and Text files (*.txt) to it.
The existing file associations will be saved, they can be manually restored
later.
Remove installed version and quit (Registry uninstall)
CopyWriter will remove all the registry entrys made during the installation.
Files associations made during install will be reverted to the previous
program. After these operations CopyWriter will quit. The program file will
not be removed.
Notes
CopyWriter 2.0x and higher versions will not overwrite settings saved by
CopyWriter 1.xx versions. To uninstall CopyWriter 1.xx versions, please use
the provided uninstaller.
To get completey rid of CopyWriter 2.0x, please use the uninstaller provided
by Inno Setup (Control Panel > Add/Remove Software).
CopyWriter 2.0x settings will be saved in the registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PageUp\CopyWriter 2.0\
2.2 SCREEN LAYOUT Contents
CopyWriter features two screen modes: Normal and Writers mode.
(View > Writers Mode). Normal mode show CopyWriter with standard Notepad
alike layout. Writers mode optimize the screen for writing purposes.
The screen layout can be changed with six shortcuts and the mouse.
Adjust Writers mode screen layout with keybord shortcuts
Use the following shortcuts to adjust te edit area with the keybord:
- Decrease edit area width ............................. Alt+Z

Adjust Writers mode screen layout with the Mouse
To adjust the edit area with the mouse move the mouse cursor to the border
and drag the the border to the right or left.
If this operation is applyed on the left border of the edit area, the edit
area will change position. Applying this operation on the right border let
you set the width of the edit area.
Notes
A mouse right click on one of the panels on the side of the editor will show
a pop up menu with the shortcuts as desribed above.
2.3 THE STATUSBAR Contents
CopyWriter features a statusbar wich provides information about the file
you're working with. The statusbar can be turned on or off and can switch
position. It's also possible to reduce the information displayed by the
statusbar.
Change position
To change the statusbar position press Ctrl+Shift+T or Shift+left mouse
click. Possible positions are: bottom or top.
Reduce statusbar information
The statusbar displays a lot of information. To reduce the information
showed by the statusbar press F6. The last 3 statusbar panels will be turned
off. This view option is called 'Basic Statusbar'.
Notes
Right clicking on the statusbar will show a pop up menu with the options
described above.
A left mouse click on the statusbar will enable/disable the 'Basic
Statusbar' feature.
The values Chars, Words and Bytes are selection aware. If there is no text
selected they will display the totals of the whole file, if text is selected
the total within the selection is displayed.
For detailed information about the statusbar values, see section
6.2 Satusbar values
2.5 AUTO INDENT, BULLETS AND NUMBERING Contents
The CopyWriter editor features some basic automatic functions. These
functions are enabled by default.
To disable these functions go to Tools > Settings (F4) and uncheck the
'Auto Indents, Bullets and Numbering' checkbox.
Auto indent: Adds spaces or tabs at begin of new line.
The auto indent function checks if a line starts with a series of spaces or
tabs. When the Return key is pressed the correct amount of spaces or tabs
will be added to the begin of the new line. This works not with mixed tabs
and spaces. Auto indent is limited to a range of 16 continues spaces and
8 continues tabs.
Auto bullets and dashes: Add bullets or dashes at begin of new line.
Bullets and dashes can be automatically added at the begin of a line. To do
this, create a bullet (Alt+Numpad 7) or dash followed by a tab and type some
text. After pressing Enter a new bullet or dash will be added to the new
line.
Auto numbering: Create a numbered list.
To create a numbered list, type a number, followed by a dot and tab. Type
some text and press Enter. The next line will be prefixed by the correct
number. This is a very basic function, deleting a line in a list will not
renumber the list. The range of the list is limited from 0 to 1000.
Notes
To overide the automatic functions, use Shift+Enter. This shortcut will
insert a single return and ignore all automatic functions. This shortcuts
is designed to end a bulleted or numbered list.

file and make sure the 'Don't close Dialog' checkbox is checked.
Pressing Enter will open the selected file and reorder the Recent Files
list. Pressing Enter again will open the next file and so on.
The My Files and Recent Files dialogs show only the name of a file. To find
out the path of a file select the desired file and press Ctrl+I.
To add the current open file to the My Files dialog press Ctrl+A.
3.7 DIALOGS Contents
By default the following dialogs remember their position:
- My Files, Recent Files, Insert Character, Text Specifications, Find and
Replace and Go To Line
To disable this go to Tools > Settings and uncheck the Remember Dialog
Position checkbox. All dialogs have 3 aditional shortcuts:
- Close dialog ................................. Esc or Dialog shortcut
- Shift focus to editor ........................ Ctrl+Tab
3.8 STYLES Contents
CopyWriter does not feature multiple formatting styles. However, there
are some tools that can be used as style:
Remove format
The Remove Format function is in fact the only style available. After
stripping all formatting from a text selection, the function applys the
default font to the selection.
Copy/Paste Format
The Copy/Paste Format function can be used as temporarely style.
3.9 USE COPYWRITER AS IE SOURCE VIEWER Contents
If you have Internet Explorer 5 or higher and want to use CopyWriter to be
the HTML code viewer instead of Notepad when you click the View Source
command on the View menu then follow the following steps.
To change what editor is used you have to edit the Windows registry.
Start RegEdit and create the following key (if it doesn't exists):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\
CopyWriter path\CopyWriter.exe
3.10 TWEAKING COPYWRITER Contents
There are a few more options for tweaking CopyWriter with the registry. The
file 'Tweaks.txt', located in the CopyWriter program directroy contains code
samples for creating custom *.reg files.
3.11 THESAURUS/DICTIONARY Contents
CopyWriter features no thesarus or dictionary. If you want to use one in
combination with CopyWriter, WordWeb is recommended. WordWeb is a powerfull,
free dictionary program. After installation you can select a word in
CopyWriter and hotkey into WordWeb. More info: http://wordweb.info
3.12 CLIPS Contents
To store text in memory for later use, select the desired text and press
Ctrl+Shift+1, 2, 3 or 4. Pressing Alt+1, 2, 3 or 4 will insert the stored
text at cursor location. These function is called Clip and designed for
storing often used names or difficult words. For example: 'Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina'.
Keep in mind inserted clip text uses the formatting propertys of the
inserting point. Clips will not be saved after closing CopyWriter. Use the
Auto Words function to store words permanently.
3.13 AUTO WORD ADVANCED SORTING Contents
You may want the Auto Words list to display the words in a specific order.
To control the way the Auto Words list displays its items do the following:
Make sure the 'Sort Auto Words list Alphabetical' checkbox is checked.
When adding words to the Auo Words list start the new entry with a dot,
followed by range of characters exactly 4 characters long. Now add the
desired Auto Word. Example: '.100_Floppy' When inserting Auto Words,
CopyWriter will check if a word starts with a dot. If an Auto Word starts
with a dot, the program will distract 5 characters from the displayed Auto
Word, and insert the correct Auto Word.
Just activate the Auto Words function and simply type something like '.1'
and press Enter. The word 'Floppy' will be inserted.
3.14 OPENING MICROSOFT WORD FILES Contents
CopyWriter 2.03 is capable of opening Microsoft Word files, practically the
same way Microsoft Wordpad does.
Since Windows 98, Wordpad uses Microsoft Office converters to convert binary
Word files to RTF format. These converters should be located at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv.
The converters Wordpad and CopyWriter use are MSWRD832.CNV, MSCONV97.DLL
and MSWRD632.WPC.
Depending on your system configuration a lot more converters may be
installed. If there are no converters present, CopyWriter can not display
Word files correct.
Important note
CopyWriter opens Word files, but it can NOT save those files in native Word
format. All Word files will be saved in RTF format. In most cases the RTF format
covers all formatting in a file, but typical Word related formatting like
footnotes, or inserted pictures will be removed.
3.15 UTILITIES Contents
With CopyWriter 2.03 it is possible to add 10 applications, folders or
files to the Tools menu. To add a one, create a shortcut and copy it to the
CopyWriter program folder. Use a '&' symbol in the shortcuts name to
indicate the accelerator key.
This system is designed to add extra functionality to CopyWriter with
so called CopyWriter Utilities. These can be downloaded from the
Copywriter website.
3.16 CHOOSING FONTS Contents
The Text Specifications dialog (Ctrl+H) is a handy tool for viewing and
selecting fonts. Select some text, go to the Text Specifications dialog and
select the Name field. Pressing arrow down will select the next font,
and aplly it to the selection. With this method it is possible to check
a large amount of fonts quick.
3.17 DATE AND TIME FORMATTING Contents
To change te way CopyWriter displays date and time values, go to Settings
(F4) and modify the Date and Time fields like the samples below.
See section 6.3 Date-time format for all possible values.
- ddd, mmmm dd sat ............................. sat, augustus 23
- dd-mm-yyyy ................................... 23-08-2003
- 'today is: ' dddd ............................ today is: saturday
- hh:mm:ss ..................................... 16:15:09
- h:m am/pm .................................... 4:15 pm
4.0 MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 FORMATTING LIMITATIONS Contents
CopyWriter can not handle formatting commands well on selections with mixed
formatting. After selecting 'hello' and applying the Italic style, 'hello'
will be the result.
So the formatting properties of the first character within a selection will
be default for the folowing characters of the selection.
4.2 FILE ASSOCIATIONS Contents
If another program claims filetypes associated with CopyWriter, the
association checkboxes on the Settings form will be unchecked to display
that CopyWriter has lost its associations. Recheck them to claim back
the lost file association.
4.3 PROGRAM PERFORMANCE Contents
CopyWriter is NOT designed to handle large files. Earlier versions of
CopyWriter can't even work with files larger then 64 Kb. CopyWriter 2.0x
versions are capable of working reliable with files < 2048 Kb.
Depending on your system configuration, working on large files will drop
down performance to a very poor level. To speed up performance do the
following:
- Turn off the statusbar.
- Turn off Wordwrap.
4.4 PROBLEM SOLVING Contents
CopyWriter uses the the Microsoft RichEdit 3.0 DLL file. Some Windows 95/98
configurations are still equipped with older versions. The following errors
may occur:
- You can't type any text.
- If data is pasted into a new document nothing happens.
- The native RichEdit bulletstyle function (Ctrl+Shift+L) doesn't work.
Fix: Make sure your computer is using the latest RichEdit DLL file. To
check the version of your RichEdit DLL file, goto Help > About > Details.
The CopyWriter websites offers the RichEdit 3.0 file version 5.0.2516.1900.
This is not the newest, but in most cases this DLL package is a good
update for the older Windows 95 systems.
For newer versions check www.microsoft.com. RTF updates are usually
integrated in Microsoft Office updates. Performing a search on the web for
'Richedit.exe' or 'Richedit.dll' will also give some results.
4.5 KNOWN BUGS Contents
Due to programming language limitation, CopyWriter does have some unsolved
bugs:
- The native RichEdit Bullets and numbering style (Ctrl+Shift+L) works fine,
but but after saving and opening the file a dot may appear after the
bulleted or numbered section.
- The printed output may not be correct when tabs with a size other then
'Default' are used.
5.0 DEVELOPMENT
5.1 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Contents
CopyWriter was initially developed as a quick solution for my need for a
nice wordprocessor that doesn't 'think' (like MS Word) and has a nice user
interface (like the good old Word Perfect 5.1).
But the project got completely out of control thanks to the enthousiastic
reactions from users. Almost two years were spend finetuning CopyWriter,
resulting in version 2.03. At this time, it's not likely CopyWriter will
be developped further, because the main purpose was to create a small,
basic editor.
By adding more features CopyWriter may end as a huge, Word-like program,
and that's not the idea behind the program. But whenever possible, handy
functions will be released as seperate utilities. This way users can choose
wich functions they want to add.
Besides that, maintenance versions containing bugfixes or other updates
will be released when needed. And maybe, once, a new CopyWriter 3.0 will
be written...
5.2 SUPPORTING COPYWRITER Contents
If you like CopyWriter you can help me by doing the following:
- Just tell other people about CopyWriter
- Vote for the program at the various download sites
- Place a link on your homepage to the CopyWriter site
- Distribute CopyWriter yourself
5.3 BUGREPORTS AND SUGGESTIONS Contents
If you want to make a bugreport or suggestion please mail me. Concerning
bugreports: make sure to describe the problem correct so I can reproduce
the bug. Don't forget to include the Windows and CopyWriter version you're
working with.

CopyWriter count ASCII charactes 32 to 255.
Words: Total of all words existing in text or selected part of text.
CopyWriter treads a range of characters as a word. Spaces and returns are
the marks between words. So 'a' and '20' are counted as a word.
Lines: Total lines displayed in the editor.
This value does not count the actual lines of a file, just the lines
displayed by the editor. So if Wordwrap is toggled on or off, the total
lines value will change.
Pages: Total pages when text is printed.
This is value is an estimation. The total lines displayed in the editor are
devided by the value ┤Lines per page┤ wich can be configured in the Settings
Dialog.
File format: Display's current format of file: TXT Format, RTF Format or
BINARY. The file format is based on file extensions. Files with the extension
*.rtf or *.RTF will be recognized as Rich Text Format files. Files with the
extension *txt or *.TXT will be recognized as text files. All other files will
be recognized as text files, except if they are binary.
Filestatus: Displays if a file is New, Modified or Saved.
Insert/Overwrite: Displays status of Insert key.
Cursor location: Displays X/Y coordinates of the cursor position.
ASCII code: Shows the ASCII code of the character right from the cursor.
If a file is binary, this value can be unknown. In that case value '#46' will be
showed.
Bytes: Total of all bytes existing in text or selected part of text.
This value is only valid for text files. Rich Text Format files will have a
larger filesize on disk after save.

6.4 FAQ Contents
Q. Can you add a toolbar to CopyWriter?
A. No. Never! A toolbar makes CopyWriter look like all the other editors.
And... toolbar is a waste of space.
Besides: Working with the mouse is bad for your health and shortcuts are
much more faster.
Q. Can I set the print margins in centimeters?
A. Yes. Go to File > Print Options (Ctrl+Shift+P). At the bottom of each
combobox the margin in centimers is displayed.
Q. What kind of measurement is used for the tab size?
A. Tab size is in points.
Q. Is CopyWriter XP compatible?
A. Yes, CopyWriter is completely XP compatible.
Q. How about multiple undo, auto URL highlighting and page breaks?
A. The current CopyWriter versions can not support this functions. If a
version 3.0x will be written, these functions will be supported.
