#BanHelp
Banner

Enter your banner message in the two lines below.  Then choose your border \
and graphic styles, choose line sizes, and text styles.

The PREVIEW button shows you how your banner will look.  In the preview, \
the grid overlaying your banner shows you where the edges of the pages \
will be.  If you don't see any lines, your banner fits on one page.

To print, select PRINT.  You'll be told how many pages your banner will \
use, and then you can choose your print options.

SPACING:  Measured in points.  The number of points to add between each line \
of text.  Values less than zero can be entered to scrunch text together.

#GraHelpLib
Graphics Library

This screen is where you choose and manipulate a graphic image.  Individual \
help messages are available for each general group of options.

Button Functions:
IMPORTED IMAGES:  Change over to the Graphics Import screen, used to add you \
own graphic images to PrintPower Pro.  See the overview there for more \
information.
###########################

#GraHelpImp
Graphics Imports

With the functions on this screen, you can create and maintain a library \
of your own graphic images.  These images are stored in a subdirectory \
named IMPORT off your PrintPower Pro main directory.  See the individual \
help messages for each group for more information.

Button Functions:
LIBRARY IMAGES:  Change over to the Library Images screen, so you can choose \
from PrintPower Pro's built in graphics.
ADD NEW:  Brings up a file selector, from which you can select a GIF, PCX, \
LBM, or uncompressed BMP format image to bring into your import library.  \
The file is converted \
to the GIF format, and copied to the IMPORT directory.
DELETE IMPORT:  Prompts you to confirm whether or not you want to delete \
the currently selected image -- ONLY from your library.  This does not \
delete your original image.
###########################

#GraOpt
Graphics Options

SCALE 1/1:  Normally, PrintPower Pro attempts to preserve an image's height \
ratio, so the image won't be stretched out of shape.  However, this can cause \
the graphic to not perfectly fit it's frame.  Turning SCALE 1/1 off makes \
the graphic fit the frame, always.
BG DRAW:  PrintPower Pro's Library images have "background" areas that you \
usually want to remain transparent.  This setting causes those areas to be \
drawn (generally in white).  Imported graphics don't usually have their \

background properly set, so this setting comes on automatically for imports.
COLORIZE:  In combination with the COLOR AS list (q.v.) causes all colors in \
the graphic to be shades of the color selected.
MIRROR R/L:  Reverses the image left to right.
FLIP U/D:  Reverses the image top to bottom.
########################

#GraCol
Graphics Color As List

This setting has no effect on your graphic unless the COLORIZE check box is \
set.  When used, COLORIZE changes every color in the graphic image into a \
shade of this color.  Brightness of each color of the original image is \
preserved.

#PrinterSetup
Printer and Paper Setup Options

First, try to locate the name of your printer in the list of printer \
names.  If it's not there, look at the end of the list where the generic \
printer types are, and you should be able to find a printer type that \
closely matches your printer.

Then choose your paper size, and whether or not your paper is fan fold \
(in a big long strip) or fed into the printer one sheet at a time.

When that's done, select TEST to print out an alignment test.  A dark \
outline will be printed around the printable area of your page.  Adjust \
your printer so that this rectangle is in the center of the paper.
#################

#PrinterName
Printer Name, or Type

First, try to locate the name of your printer in the list of printer \
names.  If it's not there, look at the end of the list where the generic \
printer types are, and you should be able to find a printer type that \
closely matches your printer.

Note for keyboard users:  Moving the "highlight bar" with the cursor keys \
does not select the printer.  To confirm you want to use a certain printer, \
you must press ENTER while your selection \
is highlighted.
#################

#PrinterPaper
Paper Size

Choose a paper size.  If your paper size is not listed here, choose \
CUSTOM SIZE and enter the width and height of each page in the custom \
size area.

If you're using banner or roll paper, select a size with the correct width \
and choose "fan fold" paper style.

Note for keyboard users:  Moving the "highlight bar" with the cursor keys \
does not select the paper.  To confirm you want to use a certain paper size, \
you must press ENTER while your selection \
is highlighted.
#################

#PrinterCustPape
Custom Paper Dimensions

Enter the size of your custom paper in width and height, inches.

Make sure CUSTOM SIZE is selected in the paper size list.
#################

#PrinterSheetFan
Paper Sheet or Fan fold setting

This setting for the most part has no effect other than to add a half-inch \
margin on the bottom and top of sheet feed printers.
#################

#SignSizeList
List of Sign Sizes

Choose a sign size.

Select CUSTOM SIZE to enter your own size in inches.

Note for keyboard users:  Moving the "highlight bar" with the cursor keys \

#PrintMethod
Print Method

This list is different for every type of printer.  There are some special \
keywords describing each method that help you discover which method you \
will want to use for this document.

MONOCHROME:  Prints with the black ribbon or ink cartridge only.
FOUR COLOR:  Prints in full color with your Black, Blue, Red and Yellow \
ribbon or ink cartridge.  Color printers only, of course.
TRIPLY INTERLACED:  A special method of printing for 9-pin dot matrix \
printers that greatly enhances the printout, but takes up to three times \
longer to print.
DPI:  A measurement of print quality.  DPI is an acronym for Dots Per Inch. \
Higher DPI means better print quality, but the tradeoff is longer print time. \
Many printers offer several DPI choices.  Experiment with the different \
DPI settings until you have a feel for the quality/time tradeoff.
#################

#PrintCopies
Number of Copies to Print

ONE COPY:  Just one copy of your document will be printed.

MANY COPIES:  Enter the number of copies you want printed on the line below \
this radio button.  This will NOT perform the "macro expansion" discussed \
in the program manual.

FROM DATABASE:  Enter the name of the database from which to draw information. \
Only as many copies of the document will be printed as there are records \
in the database.  This performs any "macro expansions" you have entered into \
the text of your document.  Please see your manual for more information.

ALL RECORDS/TAGGED RECORDS:  Choose whether all records will be used for \
printing, or just the ones with an "X" or a "Y" in the tag field.
#################

#PrintScale
Print Scale

Changes the size of your document.  This can be useful when you are creating \
a very large or very small document, and wish to shrink or enlarge it to \
get a reasonably sized printout to see how it looks printed.

Select a radio button option, or choose OTHER and fill in the scale size \
you want applied just below.  You can custom scale from 1% to 10000%, which \
translates to 100 times smaller, or 100 times larger.
#################

#PrintSpecial
Special Option

PRINT REVERSED:  This "mirrors" your output, so it appears as if it is being \
seen through a mirror.  Useful if you're creating T-shirts, Mugs, or other \
product with the output.

#WizMain
The Wizard's Advice for the Top Menu

Blank page, blank mind?  Give a thought for a minute about what you want \
to say.  Then add a headline to make your point.  Afterwards, add graphics \
and borders to spice up your design.  Then tweak \
your fonts, colors, and other features to get just the right look.  If \
you've got a more complex concept, check the manual for instructions on \
the powerful text editor.

Got to revise something?  Click on the item and a menu will appear for it.  \
If items overlap, repeatedly click on the item you desire, and it will \
rotate into selection.

To print, save, get a proof-preview, or exit the editor, select the FILE MENU.
#################


#WizDragAdd
The Wizard's Advice on Drag-to-Add

You've dragged out an area with the mouse, now choose what sort of item \
you want to fill in that space.  You can always change the size and \
position later, so if you haven't got it just right, you don't have to \
cancel.

Dragging out an area like this is also the best way to zoom into your \
document.  The zoom-in and zoom-out icons are useful, but it can take \
repeated zooms to get right up close to what you want to see.  \
Anytime you want to zoom in on something, just drag a box around it, \
and select "Zoom In" from the toolbox above.
#################


#WizFile
The Wizard's Advice on the File Menu

The choices you see above are those in the File Menu.  We've grouped \
major operations like PRINT and EXIT under File Selections so you will \
remember to SAVE your file before you do either of these options.
#################


#WizImageSel
The Wizard's Advice on Graphics

   The green X in the graphic's frame shows you the size and placement of the actual \
graphic image within the frame.  To make the graphic fill the frame completely, either resize \
the frame to fit the X, or select "EDIT IMAGE" and turn off the SCALE 1:1 option.
   Graphics and borders are always drawn under any text or headlines in \
your document, so there's no chance your message will be hidden by an image.
   If you've got your own graphics images, in the PCX, GIF or LBM formats (if \
you don't know what these formats are, chances are you don't have any), \
you can use these graphics in your documents.  To do this, you'll have to \
"import" each graphic you want to use.  See the manual for more on this.
   Just a note for mouse users:  You can right click and drag the outline while in \
this menu --- you don't have to go into MOVE/SIZE.  Keyboard users will, though.
#################

#WizHeadSel
The Wizard's Advice on Headlines

   The series of X's in the frame show you where the text will be drawn.  To see \
the actual text, hit PREVIEW, or press the middle mouse button (if you have one).
   Headline Text is automatically sized to fit in the Headline Frame, but you'll \
notice many a time that it won't take up all the available space.  This occurs \
when the shape of the words prevents a perfect match between size and shape.  \
If you have just a few words, and want them aligned vertically, it's best to \
break each word up on its own line in the HEADLINE EDITOR.  That will tell the \
Headline formatter to keep each word on a different line.
   By the way, you can use the keyboard commands for BOLD, ITALIC, etc. while in the \
HEADLINE EDITOR.  Check the manual for a list of these commands, as well as \
the simple directions for marking, cutting, and pasting selections of text.
   Just a note for mouse users:  You can click and drag the outline while in \
this menu --- you don't have to go into MOVE/SIZE.  Keyboard users will, though.
#################

#WizBordSel
The Wizard's Advice on Borders

The space between the inner and outer frame is where the border will be drawn.  \
Even so, you can click inside the inner frame and still select the border.

One thing to be careful of -- if you make your border width very large in relation \
to your border frame's size, the program may not be able to make a perfect border.  \
You'll know this is happening when there appears to be only one frame for the border.

Just a note for mouse users:  You can click and drag the outline while in \
this menu --- you don't have to go into MOVE/SIZE.  Keyboard users will, though.
#################

#WizTextSel
The Wizard's Advice on Text

   The text editor is the most complex part of the program.  It can appear daunting, \
but once you understand the principle behind it, it will make good sense.  There's \
really not enough space here to explain fully, so if this explanation doesn't help, \
please check the printed documentation.
   The text editor uses text STYLES as a form of shorthand.  Each STYLE is a complete \
set of text settings, including color, font, size, margin settings, etc.  By reusing \
a STYLE in different places in your text, you ensure that all of your text settings \
are correctly set each time.  When you insert a STYLE, the settings in that \
style will affect the text following it.  When you change STYLES, or modify the \
settings that make a STYLE, all the text that style controls will change, too.
   There are three built-in styles, which are just suggestions.  It's easiest at first \
to experiment with these default styles before getting involved in creating \
your own.
   One last thing -- if the computer speaker "binks" and a big red bar is drawn \
on the bottom of the text frame, that means the text is overflowing.  Either \
edit your text smaller, or reduce the point size or width of your STYLES.
#################

#WizBordSize
The Wizard's Advice for Border Size

If you're not sure how to move and size, exit Advice, and pull up F1 HELP.

The size of the border frame controls the outer reaches of the border, but \
it does not change the width of the border itself.  To change that, you'll \
change the width number in the EDIT BORDER screen.

Even if you make the border size too small for the border width, you can go \
back and change the width or size to fix the problem.
#################

#WizHeadSize
The Wizard's Advice for Headline Size

If you're not sure how to move and size, exit Advice, and pull up F1 HELP.

By changing the shape and size of a Headline Frame, you'll change the size \
and word-wrap of the headline message.  Generally, the larger the frame, the \
larger the text.

Do keep in mind, though, that the Headline formatter won't hyphenate words \
so if you've got a really long word that's "jamming" the size of your text, then \
go ahead and hyphenate it yourself.
#################

#WizImageSize
The Wizard's Advice for Graphic Size

You mouse users have it easy.  Click and drag any of the sides or \
corners of the flashing box.  If you drag the center of the box, you'll \
move the whole thing.

Keyboard-only folks will need to use the cursor keys to move the box around.  \
If you hold the SHIFT key down while you move, it'll move a bit faster.  \
To change the size of the box, press INS.  Now there's a tiny circle around \
the lower right corner, which means when you cursor around, that corner alone will \
move.  Press INS again to move the whole box.

The preceding information has been brought to you by F1, makers of "The Help Screen."
################

#WizTextSize
The Wizard's Advice for Text Size

If you're not sure how to move and size, exit Advice, and pull up F1 HELP.

Text, as opposed to Headline, doesn't change size to fit the frame.  So if \
your goal is to perfectly fit certain text in a certain area, maybe you would \
have better luck with a Headline.

However, if you've noticed your text is overflowing, you can either resize the \
frame, right now, or you can change the point size or width of the STYLES you \
are using in the text itself.

When you change the frame, the text within it is word-wrapped according to the \
STYLES you've used.
#################

#WizClone
The Wizard's Advice for Cloning

If you're not sure how to move and size, exit Advice, and pull up F1 HELP.

You're in the Move/Size session for the newly created clone object, even \
though it may not look that way.  If you just hit OK, then you'll have two \
identical items precisely overlapping each other.

So be sure to move the clone before you exit!
#################

#WizZoom
The Wizard's Advice for Zooming

This toolbox is, for the most part, oriented towards the keyboard user.  \
There are mouse equivalents for all of these functions on and around the \
document window, as follows:

Zoom in and Zoom out are at the lower left and right corners of the window, and \
look like a box getting closer, or farther away.

A Full-Page Zoom is obtained by clicking on the little page icon at the upper \
left of the document window, while a preview is triggered by clicking on the \
tiny "Pv" icon at the upper right.

Dragging the scroll bars will scroll around the page.

The best way of zooming in is to click-and-drag a box around the area of \
interest, then selecting "ZOOM IN" from the ADD AREA toolbox that then appears.
