- TITLE: Disabling Auto Loading of SwitchKit for WordPerfect Users
- PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0
- DATE: 19-May-1992
-
- PROBLEM:
-
- The SwitchKit for WordPerfect Users was originally installed to automatically
- run with Ami Pro. The SwitchKit runs when Ami Pro is loaded and SwitchKit
- Mode is enabled. How can auto running of the SwitchKit be eliminated?
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- If you want to eliminate the SwitchKit for WordPerfect Users from
- automatically being placed on Ami Pro's help menu each time Ami Pro is loaded,
- you will need to delete the AUTOEXEC.SMM macros that the SwitchKit
- installation placed in the Ami Pro program directory and the Ami Pro macros
- directory. If you want the SwitchKit "For WordPerfect Users" menu item to
- automatically be added to the Help menu each time Ami Pro is loaded, but not
- have SwitchKit mode enabled (the keystroke demonstration mode), leave the
- AUTOEXEC.SMM macros in place but disable the auto run option in the menu
- options.
-
- HOW TO DELETE THE SWITCHKIT'S AUTOEXEC MACROS
-
- 1. Choose Tools / Macros / Edit.
- 2. Select the name AUTOEXEC.SMM in the "Macros" list box.
- 3. Choose OK.
- 4. Look at the first two lines of text in the macro. If they are the same
- as the lines below, the macro is from the SwitchKit and can be deleted.
- declare getrunningmacpath$();
-
- function isitloaded()
- Note: If the first two lines of text in the macro are different from
- those listed above, the AUTOEXEC macro is not from the SwitchKit and
- should not be deleted.
- 5. Choose File / Close.
- 6. Choose Tools / Macros / Edit.
- 7. Move to the Ami Pro program directory in the "Macros" list box and select
- the file name AUTOEXEC.SMM (the Ami Pro program directory is usually
- C:\AMIPRO).
- 8. Choose OK.
- 9. Look at the first two lines of text in the macro. If they are the same
- as the lines below, the macro is from the SwitchKit and can be deleted.
- declare getrunningmacpath$();
-
- function isitloaded()
- Note: If the first two lines of text in the macro are different from
- those listed above, the AUTOEXEC macro is not from the SwitchKit and
- should not be deleted.
- 10. Choose File / Close.
- 11. In Ami Pro choose File / File Management.
- 12. If the first two lines of text in the AUTOEXEC macro in your macros
- directory are different from those in step 4 above, skip to step 16
- below.
-
- If the first two lines of text in the AUTOEXEC macro in your macros
- directory are the same as those in step 4, choose File / Change Directory
- and specify the path to the Ami Pro macros directory (this is usually
- C:\AMIPRO\MACROS).
- 13. In the File/Directory list box, select the name AUTOEXEC.SMM.
- 14. Choose File / Delete.
- 15. Choose OK.
- 16. If the first two lines of text in the AUTOEXEC macro in your Ami Pro
- directory are not the same as those in step 9 above, you have completed
- this procedure. Press ALT + F4 to close Ami Pro File Management. Note:
- If the AUTOEXEC.SMM macros are not present in the Ami Pro program or
- macros directory or if the AUTOEXEC.SMM macros are different from the
- macro lines in steps 4 and 9 above, the SwitchKit AUTOEXEC.SMM macros
- have either been modified or have been moved to another location. If you
- need assistance in locating the SwitchKit AUTOEXEC.SMM macros, call the
- Lotus Word Processing Division Technical Support Department at 404-399-
- 5505.
-
- If the first two lines of text in the AUTOEXEC macro in your Ami Pro
- directory are the same as those in step 9 above, choose File / Change
- Directory and specify the path to the Ami Pro program directory (this is
- usually C:\AMIPRO). Select the file name AUTOEXEC.SMM.
- 17. Choose File / Delete.
- 18. Choose OK.
- 19. Press ALT + F4 to close Ami Pro File Management.
-
- After deleting the SwitchKit's AUTOEXEC.SMM macros, the SwitchKit will no
- longer automatically run when Ami Pro loads. To use the SwitchKit, load Ami
- Pro and choose Tools / Macros / Playback, specify the file name SWITCH and
- choose OK. This will load the SwitchKit's menu items and enable SwitchKit
- mode.
-
- HOW TO DISABLE THE SWITCHKIT FROM AUTOMATICALLY ENABLING SWITCHKIT MODE
-
- 1. With the SwitchKit loaded, choose Help / For WordPerfect Users.
- 2. Choose Options.
- 3. Remove the X from the "Auto run" option and choose OK.
-
- The SwitchKit "For WordPerfect Users" menu item will be placed under the Help
- menu each time Ami Pro is loaded, but the SwitchKit mode will not be enabled.
- To enter SwitchKit mode choose Help / For WordPerfect Users / On.
