The template uses hidden text to insert HTML codes into any new or
previously prepared Word document or any ASCII document. (The hidden codes
are visible to HTML browsers.) Type as you normally
would and use the tools as described. Crackerjack is
offered as shareware for a nominal fee. See the README.TXT file for new features,
improvements and more information. Also see the copyright notice
at the end of this document. More information is available at the
Web site:

This Guide descibes the tools and features of the Crackerjack Template: CJ_HTML.DOT.
Unlike some other demonstration programs, the CJ_DEMO.DOT program is a
working version of the complete program with a few exceptions. (See the README.TXT
file for more information.) It's not timed to self-destruct or shut down after a
predetermined number of days. Instead, the Crackerjack demo permits you access to
all the tools but frequently inserts harmless notes into the document along with
the HTML tags. (Naturally, the complete programs do NOT insert any notes.)
Since the CJ_DEMO.DOT template is for demonstration purposes only, it is hoped
that you will enjoy evaluating the features and maintain a sense of humor
while viewing some of the inserted notes.
Where necessary, you can substitute the words, "CJ_DEMO" for the words,
"CJ_HTML" when reading the tips in the Crackerjack Instruction Guide.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Copy all the files into the same directory or folder.
(You may name it whatever you like and
it can be anywhere;
just so it's NOT within any of
your Word directories or folders.)
2. Open Word.
3. Open the CJ_INST.DOC file and double-click the red button. The End.
|
NOTE: You may see a "Warning" message or series of messages when you open
the installation file (The CJ_INST.DOC file). (They don't appear again
after the Crackerjack template is installed.)
Since the Warning messages appear when the code for merely reading user
file locations is present in a .DOC like CJ_INST.DOC and is apparently
unavoidable on some systems, I thought I'd warn you about the warning.
Unlike some other programs, Crackerjack does NOT alter ANY of the user's
system files. (Please see the README.TXT file for details and installation
options.)
|
Just so you know, after double-clicking the red button, Crackerjack will automatically
perform these tasks...
- CJ_DEMO.DOT will be copied to your Word Templates Directory/Folder.
- If you have the demo version of the programs, the CJDEMO.HTM file will be
copied to your Word Templates Directory/Folder. (This file is not included in the zip files
of the complete programs.)
- A file CJ_HTML.INI, recording the local information for your copy of Crackerjack,
will be created in your Windows directory/Preferences folder.
Note: You will be asked during the installation whether you would like to have a tool
which attaches the Crackerjack template to any document, automatically installed in the
Standard toolbar in your Normal.Dot template. If you choose "YES', a tool with
a "C" will be added to the Standard toolbar and will be readily available if and
when you want use the Crackerjack program. (You can easily move the tool or delete it later,
if you wish.)
CREATING A HYPERTEXT DOCUMENT
If you want to create a new document:
- Choose File, New .... (the New Document option button is usually the default selection).
- Select the Crackerjack template and choose OK.
- Create your document
- Click the CONVERT AND SAVE TOOL
If you want to revise any document (.DOC, .TXT, .HTM,
etc.) :
- Click on the new INSERT ANY DOCUMENT TOOL.
(You may also
copy and paste any document into a new one based on the Crackerjack template.)
- Select any document in the dialog box which will open and display all your directories
and then, click OK.
- Revise your document
- Click the CONVERT AND SAVE TOOL
When revising a document, you may, if you wish, use the
Attach Crackerjack macro. It automatically copies and pastes whatever document is the current
"active" document into a new one based on the Crackerjack template.
Back to Index
A special tool called "Attach Crackerjack Template"
has been included so that you may more
easily change a document based on Word's "Normal" (or any other) template to the Crackerjack
template. (All documents created in Crackerjack and saved with .HTM extensions become text
files based on the Normal Template.)
The button then, when clicked, will:
- Open Crackerjack
- Display two of the Crackerjack Toolbars
- a) Copy the contents of your current document into Crackerjack,
OR
b) Open a blank new document in Crackerjack ,if you don't have any documents open,
so that you can immediately begin to create, edit and/or convert to HTML.
If you're revising a file with an .HTM extension, the Attach Crackerjack Template macro
will automatically
- Check for and replace any non-standard paragraph marks and characters sometimes found
in HTML documents, but invisible in Word
- Present a dialog box which asks if you would care to "format your tags". If you say,
"Yes", Crackerjack will immediately...
- Color all HTML tags bright red
- Format the HTML tags as "hidden" text (so they can easily be toggled off and on)
- Color all URLs bright blue and underline them
If you chose not to have the "Attach Crackerjack Template" macro automatically installed during the
installation process, you can install the macro manually at any time. Here's how:
To make the macro readily available, copy the macro to your "Normal" template:
- While in any CRACKERJACK document, choose Tools, Macro, Organizer...
- From CRACKERJACK'S list of macros (on the left), select Attach Crackerjack Template.
- Make sure the NORMAL.DOT list of macros is on the right.
- Choose Copy.
- Choose Close.
- You may then create a toolbar tool for the macro if you wish.
If you do not choose to use any of Crackerjack's tools that do this for you... For best results,
use Word's Search and Replace feature to search for and replace all paragraph marks with
paragraph marks. (That is, search for " ^p " and replace with " ^p " on English language
versions of Word 6.0, or search for " ^a" and replace with " ^a" on German versions of
Word 6.0, etc. See the Word manual for the Search and Replace character for paragraph
marks specific to your version of Word.)
ASCII paragraph marks appear the same but behave differently when the macros encounter
them.)
