PMTOOLS QUICK START
-------------------
This Quick Start information sheet will help you understand PMTools and get
you started using PMTools. For more detailed information, see the PMTools
User's Guide.
ABOUT PMTOOLS
-------------
PMTools is an extension to PC PageMaker 4.0 for Windows that provides a
"ribbon" of buttons that can be used to execute the most common PageMaker
commands. PMTools lets you "mouse around" with your feet up. PMTools is
easy to use, saves lots of time, and it's FUN!
PMTOOLS FEATURES
----------------
TEXT AND POINTER RIBBONS
PMTools displays a ribbon of buttons down the left side of the screen. The
text ribbon is displayed when the PageMaker text tool is selected or when
in the PageMaker story editor. Otherwise, the pointer ribbon is displayed.
QUOTE CONVERSION
If quote conversion is turned on, PMTools converts single and double
apostrophes typed at the keyboard into single and double right
typographical quotes. If the control key is held down, the left single or
double typographical quote is generated.
SHOWFONT
ShowFont displays the complete Windows character set in any screen font
that you have installed. Double clicking on a character types that
character into PageMaker at the insertion point. This is great for dingbats
and foreign characters!
INSTALLING PMTOOLS
------------------
COPYING THE FILES TO YOUR HARD DISK
Copy all of the PMTools files to your WINDOWS directory. Before copying the
files, check that files with the same name do not already exist in the
WINDOWS directory. For example:
COPY A:*.* C:\WINDOWS.

instructions. Read this first!

ADDING PMTOOLS TO WINDOWS PROGRAM MANAGER
