Overview: Installation information
Installation information

AUTORUN

Microsoft Windows 95 and NT4.0 provide an AUTOPLAY feature that runs when you insert CD-ROMs into the CD-ROM drive. Corel Print Office supports this feature by launching AUTORUN.EXE after you insert the Corel Print Office CD-ROM. To bypass this feature, press the SHIFT key while inserting CD.

Low system resources

When Windows 95 is low on resources, SETUP may display the following message: DDE Client Transaction Failed. When this message displays, restart Windows 95 and reinstall Corel Print Office.

Fonts

If you are missing fonts after installing Corel Print Office, try performing a cold boot of your system (i.e., shut down your system, turn off the power, and then restart) to refresh the Windows fonts cache.

Uninstalling Corel Print Office

You can uninstall Corel Print Office using the Uninstall Wizard.

Remaining files after UNINSTALL

If you perform an uninstall and files still remain, you can use Windows Explorer to delete them. The Uninstall Wizard does not remove user-created files, or any of the following:

•	shortcuts you have renamed.

•	the My Projects folder, if there are user-created files in it.

•	fonts installed by Corel Print Office. To remove these fonts, click Start, Settings, Control Panel from your desktop. Open the Fonts folder, and click and delete any unwanted fonts.

Uninstalling files remaining in memory

When uninstalling Corel Print Office, you may notice that some files cannot be deleted because they are in use by Windows, or another process. To bypass this, restart Windows, and use Windows Explorer to delete them.

Overview: Font naming conventions
Font naming conventions

To simplify the process of identifying the fonts we supply with the Corel Print Office applications, Corel has developed a new naming convention for the font files. This will have no effect on the internal naming used within the font, it is a filename change only. The Windows font name was shortened to a maximum of 7 characters and a suffix, as listed below, was added to form the new filename. These suffixes are as follows:

•	a = Headline

•	b = Bold

•	c = Condensed

•	d = Demi

•	e = Extended

•	g = Engraved

•	h = Heavy

•	I = Italic

•	k = Black

•	l = Light

•	m = Medium

•	n = Normal

•	O = Outline

•	p = Expanded

•	r = Rounded

•	s = Semi

•	u = Ultra

•	v = Cursive

•	x = Extra

Some exceptions may exist. The fonts available with the Corel Print Office applications will be added to your Font listing in addition to the fonts you may currently have installed from previous versions of the products. Therefore, there may be duplication in the fonts you have installed.

Overview: Windows 98 support
Windows 98 support

Corel Print Office was tested with BETA versions of the new Microsoft® Windows® 98 operating system. Although no major problems were encountered, Corel Print Office was completed prior to Microsoft® Windows® 98 being released, and as such, we cannot guarantee full compatibility with this new operating system.

Printing issues


Overview: NON Postscript Printers
NON Postscript Printers

EPSON Color Stylus Printer

Printing complex graphics to the Epson Color Stylus may be problematic. These problems can be overcome by using the Windows 3.1 printer driver 1.06E or a later version provided by the printer manufacturer. Follow the installation instructions included with the Manufacturer's diskette.

To print with the Windows 3.1 driver, you may need to modify a setting in the EPSON printer spooler. Select the Epson printer from the list of printers in the EPSON spooler list. Click File and Setup. In the setup, enable the Use Print Manager setting.

HP Color LaserJet Printer and the HP DeskJet 1200C Printer

Printing objects with complex fills can generate rather large files. We recommend that you add the line UseClippingForFills=7 or 5 to the Config section of the CORELPRN.INI. One of these settings should alleviate this problem depending on which Printer driver you are using.

HP LaserJet 4 and 5 Series Printers

The Windows 95 driver when set in vector mode may print some fills or bitmaps as if they were transparent when overlapping other objects. To correct this problem, change the graphics mode option to print high level objects as Raster graphics instead of Vector graphics.

Overview: Radial fills in text
Radial fills in text

Radial fills in text do not print correctly to the HP4 Series of Non-Postscript printers. To correct this problem, you must place the following line in the config section of the CORELPRN.INI, in the Print Office directory:

TextAsClip=1

Overview: Text overlapping graphics
Text overlapping graphics

Some printer drivers fail to support text objects overlapping graphic objects. Often, the result is text overlapping objects incorrectly (e.g., if the text is supposed to appear in front of a graphic, it actually prints behind it). To correct this problem, modify the Text Output Method setting in the CORELPRN.INI so that it reads AllTextAsGraphics=1.
