- =======================================
-
- Q1: How do I install AntiWord?
- A1: Copy the application-directory and all the files within it to a
- suitable directory.
-
- Q2: How do I use AntiWord?

- a file onto the AntiWord icon on the iconbar.
-
- Q3: How does AntiWord deal with Word macro viruses?
- A3: AntiWord does not run any Word macros because it can not do so.
- Therefore your Archimedes will not be harmed by such a virus.
-
- Q4: What does the 'Paragraph breaks' option do?
- A4: This option controls the maximum number of characters per line in
- paragraphs. If your screen is 640 pixels wide (like modes 20 and 27)
- than 76 is probably best. If your screen is 800 or more pixels wide
- (like mode 31) than numbers near 94 work best. You can switch this
- option off in case the (text only) output of AntiWord is intended to
- be the input of a wordprocessor or DTP program.
-
- Q5: What does the 'Auto filetype' option do?
- A5: When auto filetype is allowed, AntiWord will change the filetype of
- Wordfiles to MSWord (&ae6)
-
- Q6: When AntiWord uses outline fonts it becomes horribly slow. What can I
- do about that?
- A6: When AntiWord uses outline fonts it needs a large font cache. A small
- font cache wil make AntiWord (very) slow. The larger the font cache the
- better, but usualy 160K or 256K will do.
-
- Q7: What is the purpose of the file 'FontNames' in the Choices directory?
- A7: This file provides a translation tabel from the fontnames as they are
- found in a Word file to the fontnames as they are known to the RISC OS
- font-manager.
- The file 'FontNames' is user-editable to make it suit your collection
- of fonts. Some examples are provided in the Resources directory.
-
- Q8: What is 'Hidden text'?
- A8: Hidden text is Microsoft speak for text that will or will not be shown
- on the screen, subject to the users preferences, but such text is never
- printed.
