CHAPTER 6. REFERENCE
This chapter contains Clearlook's online help text. It provides a short description of the status window, Clearlook's customization features and multiple document management. A concise description of all dialogs and windows follows.
1 res=33200.Status Window status window
.*Figure 6-1 Clearlook Status Window
The status window is primarily a 33901.container for text documents and one or multiple thesaurus objects. It also contains an object representing Clearlook's internal 62001.window list and 62200.setup window.
Every opened document appears as an icon in the status window. Using the container's 33903.pop-up menus you can create additional 39202.objects and set them for a variety of functions:
33202.Create Document (from templates)
33203.Open Document
33204.Create Database (from templates)
33205.Open Database
33290.Status Window Menu Functions
2 res=62001.Window List window list
Clearlook's internal window list shows all open documents and service windows in decreasing order of their last access. The active window is listed on top, the previously active window below, and so on. Pressing Enter or double-clicking activates any window displayed in the list.

33201.Switching Between Windows
3 res=33201.Switching Between Windows switching between windows
In document windows: Press F10 to switch to the 33200.status window at any time. By 39204.activating an object, the corresponding window receives the focus and is moved to the top.
Database windows: By pressing the keys Alt+0 you switch to the 33240.origin window.
In all windows: Clearlook maintains an internal 62001.window list, showing all open windows in decreasing sequence of their last access. Activate any Clearlook window through this window list. You can also use the following key combinations to switch between windows:
Create a new, unnamed document with a default format and font using the 33200.status window's Text | New menu function.
Set up 33220.document templates to customize format and predefined text. To use templates, 39205.create an object in the status window. In the 39203.setup dialog of this object, set the object's function to 35205.new (create object) and enter the path where the templates reside. Title this object Create Text.
To create a new document, go to the status window and activate the object named Create Text. A list of all the document templates is presented. After choosing one, a new text document is created from the template.

2 res=33220.Document Templates document templates templates, text
To create a document in a specific format, containing your logo or other preset features, use the document template function. A template is a document automatically copied into a new document. To use this feature, 10102.create a new document and pattern it as you want your template to look. Save this document, preferably in a specific directory for all templates, as for example, in a directory \TEMPLATE.
To access the template, place a 902.text object in the 33200.status window and configure it to 33202.create new documents. Whenever this text object is activated, the system displays a list of templates or a specified template to create your document.
2 res=33240.Window of Origin origin window of origin
A window is called window of origin, if it is the origin of another window. Whenever a text document is opened in the status window, the status window becomes the origin of this text window.
All text documents have their origin in the status window.
.*DB All data add and edit windows have their origin in the 33401.control container of the database.
2 res=33250.Status Window Dialogs
The 33903.pop-up menu of the status window accesses the following dialogs:
2900.Status Window Object Setup
2901.Thesaurus Object Setup
3 res=2900.Status Window Object Setup status window object setup
.*Figure 6-2 Status Window Object Setup
The 35201.title you give an object serves your use only.
The 35205.function defines the behavior of the object. 39204.Activating the object either opens or creates a file, depending on the function you specify:
If the function is set to create a file, the 35202.path specifies the working directory where the new file is placed. The field templates can be set to a path for 35203.document templates.
.*DB or 35204.database templates
If the function is set to open a file, the 35202.path specifies the working directory where the files are found, or a complete path and file name of the file to be loaded.
.*DB35206.Exclusive open appears for database objects only. If
.*DBchecked, it will cause the database to be opened with exclusive access.
If 35207.multiple activate is checked, the object's functionality can be used repeatedly, as each activation creates a new object.E
The 35201.title you give the object serves your use only.
With Language you define the desired language for the thesaurus. Note that your installation may not contain all the language data files for all possible choices.
If you check Multiple open you can repeatedly click on the icon to open several copies of the thesaurus.
3 res=35200.Dialog Fields
35201.Title
35202.Path
35203.Document Template
35204.Database template
35205.Function
35206.Exclusive Open
35207.Multiple Activate
4 res=35201.Title Field title of objects object title
Choose any title you like for your objects.
4 res=35202.Path Field
If the object creates files (35205.function set to new): When creating a new file, a dialog prompts you for a file name. At the same time the working directory is set to the path indicated in this field.
If the object opens files (35205.function set to open):
If no path is entered, the active directory is used to display a list of available files.
If a path with 39750.wild cards is entered, the selection defined by the wild cards is displayed.
If a complete path and file name are entered, the file is loaded immediately (if existing) without displaying of a choice of files. For documents frequently used, set up an object in the 33200.status window that contains the complete path and file name.
4 res=35203.Document Template Field document template field
If a text object's function is to 35205.create documents, a template field appears. This field can contain a path (with or without 39750.wild cards), or the complete path and file name of a document used as template. (Paths without wild cards must be terminated by a backslash '\'):
Directory as path: Upon activation of the object, the content of the indicated directory is displayed, offering a choice of document templates. If a template is chosen, a new, unnamed document is created. The new document is a copy of the template. If you cancel the choice of templates, an empty, unnamed document with a default setup is created.
file name as path: Upon activation of the object, a new, unnamed document is created. The new document is a copy of the template specified in the path.
4 res=35205.Function New/Open Field new/open field
This field defines the basic behavior of an object:
If function is set to new, the object always creates a file when 39204.activated. The field 35203.document templates appears. Enter an optional path for templates.
If function is set to open, the object always opens an existing file. If the field 35202.path contains an existing path information with or without 39750.wild cards, a list of files is displayed. If the field path contains the complete path and file name of an existing file, this file is immediately loaded upon activation of the object.
4 res=35207.Multiple Activate Field multiple activate field
If this field is not checked, activating the 39101.object executes its function and marks it as 39204.active.
If multiple activate is checked, a copy of the object is created. The copy then executes the object's function. The original object remains inactive and can be activated again. In an object that creates documents, selecting this option allows you to create any number of new documents by repeatedly activating the object.
2 res=33290.Status Window Menu Functions menu functions (status window)
The menu bar of the status window contains the functions 10101.Text and 62999.Help. Two further functions are sub-items of the system menu (the small icon in the upper left corner of the window). By clicking on this icon, the 10190.Setup and 10191.Cascade functions become available, in addition to the usual system menu functions.$

3 res=9100.License Dialog license dialog
If you use Clearlook without a valid license code, all functions are available, but when printing documents purchase information is inserted in the middle of the page. If you downloaded Clearlook from a bulletin board service, obtain a valid license code from Clearlook Corporation. License information is also attached to your registration card.
Enter your name, license and code information. If license and code match, a message indicates the modules available for unrestricted use.
3 res=1302.Preference Dialog preference dialog
Show speedbar: If checked, the speedbar is shown in all document windows. Speedbar functions remain available through hotkeys when the speedbar is off.
Show infobar: Uncheck this box to remove the infobar display at the bottom of document windows.
Infobar help information: When moving the pointer over your document window, help information is displayed depending upon the position of the pointer. Each speedbar button causes a short help line to be displayed, as well as each menu item. If the help information in the infobar is not desired, uncheck this button.
Single click pop-up menus: Clearlook has two types of pop-up menus. Most container objects as well as text document objects display a pop-up menu when the right button, or the F12 key is pressed. Some speedbar buttons also cause a pop-up menu to appear. Checking this box causes the pop-up menus to appear when pressing the pointing device and to disappear when releasing the button. This way pop-up menu operations are executed with just one click of a button.
Solid cursor: Check this box if you want to turn off the flashing cursor in document windows.
Escape closes edit window: If checked, the escape key causes a document window to close, otherwise the Alt+F4 keys or the close menu function must be used.+
When creating a new document default tabstops are created. The distance between these tabstops is set here. Enter zero to disable their automatic creation.
3 res=1304.Date + Time Default Dialog date + time default dialog
Specify the desired default format for date and time. This is used as an input and a default output format. Extensive output formatting is available in text documents when creating 20230.fill-ins.
2 res=62201.Text Colors Window text colors window
When composing documents, you can choose to have text appear in colors. If you have a color printer, these colors print. Otherwise, the colors set in the document may be emulated by the printer with gray shades. Define any number of colors in the color window. Sixteen standard colors are predefined. The actual color value is saved with the document. If transferring a document to another installation with different color definitions, the document appears with the original colors.
The first entry in this table must be defined as the color black. All other definitions can be changed to suit your needs.
To edit a color, press Enter or call the Edit function. To insert a new color call the New function. To delete an entry, call the Delete function.
3 res=2914.Text Color Dialog text color dialog
Define any color by specifying values for red, green and blue. Enter the desired values, or change values using the slide bars. The name given to the color is for your reference only.
2 res=62202.Markings Window markings window
Use markings in your text document for tables of content, indices, mail-merge and the like. A marking associates the marked characters with a specific value. If this value corresponds to the identification number of a data field defined in a transform document, the data field is substituted by the marked characters when running a transform process.
The first entry must have a value of zero and an end of record marking a value of one. All other values are available to the user. Use the predefined markings, define new, or delete existing markings.
The colors associated with a marking are entirely for the user's reference. When applying markings to a document, the marking values defined are stored in the document. Subsequent changes to marking values in the setup do not affect existing documents. Transferring source and transform documents to another system with other marking definitions, does not impair the functioning of the source and transform pairs.
To edit a marking, press Enter or call the Edit function. To insert a new marking, call the New function. To delete an entry, call the Delete function.
3 res=2915.Marking Dialog marking dialog
The Marking ID is the value associated with the marking. The value entered must correspond to the data-field identification number of the transform document.
The Name entered appears in the pop-up menu when marking a text document.
The color associated with the marking causes marked text to appear in that color when 20129.show code points is activated. Changes to the color of a marking take effect immediately upon closing the markings window. Existing documents reflect a change in the color of a marking, but not a change in its value.
If a text document contains markings not defined in the system, they appear in light red.
The elements composing the appearance of the document can be defined in any pure color that displays on the monitor of the system. The colors of the ruler and the infobar are limited to sixteen standard colors.
3 res=2917.Screen Color Dialog screen color dialog
If this dialog is invoked for an element composing the appearance of the document, color can be defined by entering values for red, green and blue. Values are entered directly or changed using the slide bars.
If the dialog is invoked for the speedbar or infobar color, the sixteen standard colors are offered.
The new coloring takes effect as soon as you leave the screen color window.
Most hotkeys used in Clearlook can be reassigned. To change a hotkey function, press Enter. Then press the keys you want for the indicated function.
3 res=2918.Hotkey Dialog hotkey dialog
Press the key combination for the indicated function. If it is possible to use the desired key, its name appears. To disable a function, press Delete.
Hotkey assignments are displayed correctly in the short help line on the infobar of document windows.
Avoid multiple assignments to one key combination. If the same key combination is specified for several functions, one of them will work, the others will not.
The new assignments take effect as soon as you leave the keyboard hotkeys window.
Clearlook views and edits text documents in a variety of formats. Files saved in Clearlook's own format (.ctx) contain all formatting information, while plain text files do not. When editing a file of a certain type, you may want the file to appear in a certain font. In this window, define the default formats for documents with various file-name extensions.
The entry for the .ctx extension is used when creating a new, empty document with the 33202.New Text function.
The entry marked with a dot and no further extension defines the 'final default'. This format is used for documents with extensions not defined in this window.
To edit a definition, press Enter or call the Edit function. To insert a new definition call the New function. To delete an entry, call the Delete function.&
The extension indicates the type of document created with the specified format values.
Language specifies the default spell checking language for the document.
Font Name, Size: Enter the complete name of the font and the point size. When editing plain text files, consider bitmap fonts. They have a clearer appearance on the screen but cannot be scaled. For printing documents, consider vector fonts.

5 res=20120.Save Document save document speed button, save
BTNSAVE.BMP
If the document was modified, activating this button saves the document to disk. If the document is unnamed, a dialog queries for a document name. This button has the same function as the 10214.save menu function.
Activating this button displays the 2180.print dialog and enables printing. This button has the same effect as the 10216.print menu function.
5 res=20122.Undo speed button, undo
BTNUNDO.BMP
Activating this button will undo the last changes to the document. Continuing to activate this button will undo all changes since last saving the document. Activating this button has the same effect as the 10221.undo menu function or pressing the Alt+Backspace keys.
This button turns on the automatic spell checking feature. While typing, all words are checked for spelling according to the language set for the document or the text cell.
Activating this button places the clipboard contents into the document.
If the clipboard contained flow text (text selected in 10226.flow mode), you are queried to indicate the insert position.
If the clipboard contained area text (text selected in 10227.area mode), you are queried to position the text cells either to the right, left, top or bottom of an existing cell. Activating this button is similar to pressing the Shift+Insert keys.
Activating this button copies 33320.selected text to the clipboard and is similar to pressing the Control+Insert keys.

5 res=20127.Show Margins speed button, show margins margins, toggle on/off
BTNMARG.BMP
Activating this button toggles the display of the 20221.margin.
When editing a document you may want to use the full extent of your screen. At other times, you may want to see how the text is placed on the page. If show margins and 20128.show cells are both on, you can adjust the margins by moving and sizing the 20223.base text area.
Toggling the show margins option in the 2540.view dialog, accessible through the 10248.View menu function, is similar to this button.1
5 res=20128.Show Cells speed button, show cells cell structure on/off
BTNCELLS.BMP
This button toggles the display of the document cell structure. Turn this option on, and the document objects are visible and accessible to pointer manipulation.
The 20223.base text area is displayed in dark cyan. 20225.Text cells are displayed in white, outlined by a thin border in dark cyan. A second-level 20224.text area (if existing) appears in light cyan, its cells outlined by a thin border in light cyan.
Activating the display of the cell structure allows you to manipulate the position and size of the text areas and their cells. If you move the pointer to the corner of a text area, an 20990.area sizing pointer appears, enabling horizontal and vertical sizing.
If you move the pointer to the top or bottom rim of a text area slightly off the corner, an 20940.area moving pointer appears to move the text area.
If you move the pointer on the left or right rim of a text cell, a 20946.cell sizing pointer appears to adjust the width of a cell.
If you move the pointer on the top rim of a cell, a 20941.cell moving pointer appears to move the cell horizontally, if there is empty space to the right or left of the cell.
Cells cannot be moved vertically within their text area. The vertical position of a cell is determined by the vertical position of the parent text area, and the height of any cells within the same area above it. The height of a cell is determined by the amount of text it contains. When the content of text increases in the cell, it expands downward and pushes the cells below it further down.6
You can scale the view of your document from 20% to 1200%. When reducing the viewing scale, pages are displayed horizontally, as they fit in the window.
In any viewing size, all the word processor functions are accessible as long as the resolution of your screen allows you to sufficiently identify the 20220.document objects. Write, edit, delete, move and size 20223.text areas and 20225.text cells in any view.
The scale that appears after pressing this button adjusts view enlargements and reductions between 20% and 300%. To enlarge further, reduce the width of the window, then enlarge the width again. Keep the Ctrl key pressed while releasing the pointing device button. This causes the document enlarge in the same ratio as the size of the window.
If you are using bitmap fonts in your document, you cannot change the view size. Bitmap fonts have a fixed size and cannot be scaled.!
4 res=20114.Cell Creation and Formatting Commands speed bar, cell creation and formatting commands
Use this function to open one new text cell in the document or to create a table consisting of several text cells of identical size.
BTNTBLE.BMP
After activating the button, an outline of a table appears. Move the pointer to mark a single cell, a row of cells or an array (rows and columns) of cells. 612.Define how many new cells will be created and their organization in rows and columns.
Once you release the button, you are prompted to 20201.place the single cell or the array of cells. Different pointer shapes appear as you move the pointer over the document, indicating possible positions to 'drop' the new cells. Click on the first button of the pointing device to place the cells, press Esc to abort the operation.
To insert the table into a body of text consisting of just one text cell, 20216.split the text cell before creating the table.
When placed above or below an existing cell, an array of cells of identical size is inserted. If the left or right sides are chosen, empty space must be available on the side. All empty space is used to open the cells as defined in the definition table.
The position of the cursor at the beginning of this operation sets the font type and size in new cells.
This button is similar to using the 19214.new cell function in the 33903.pop-up menu activated with the second button of the pointing device.?
5 res=20133.Text Alignment speed button, text alignment alignment
BTNALIGN.BMP
This button is used to align text to the left, right, the center, or to fully justify text in a cell. To set the text to full justification, either additional space between words, or additional space between every character of a line is inserted by the system.
After activating the button, the position of the cursor indicates the present setting.
33330.Scope: If no text is selected when using this function, the active cell is set to the new value, otherwise the selected text is set to the new value according to the 33320.mode of selection.
5 res=20134.Leading speed button, leading leading
BTNLEAD.BMP
Use this button to change the font leading. Leading refers to additional white space between two lines. A leading value of zero means that the bottom of the previous line and the top of the subsequent line have no white space between.
33330.Scope: If no text is selected when using this function, the active cell is set to the new value, otherwise the selected text is set to the new value according to the 33320.mode of selection.
All fonts contain default leading values. The automatic setting causes Clearlook to use the default leading of the font when spacing lines. If you manually set a value for leading, lines are either closer together or further apart.
Clearlook calculates the line height by using the height of the largest font in a line and adding the default leading defined in that font. By manually specifying values for leading, the lines are spaced with this additional value. Changing the size of the fonts leaves the leading intact.
To change the spacing of lines, leading is the preferred way. Manually defining a 20135.line distance to influence line spacing turns Clearlook's automatic line spacing off and may cause lines to overlap.%
5 res=20135.Line Distance speed button, line distance line distance
BTNLNDST.BMP
Line distance is automatically calculated by Clearlook. The font and size you select is taken into account along with the font's automatic leading. (Change the leading by using the 20134.leading button.)
When specifying a line distance, Clearlook adjusts it regardless if the font size fits into a line or does not. You can create fixed line-distances, but may cause the text of subsequent lines to overlap, and bitmap displays may be truncated.
When choosing a line distance that is smaller than the height of the font, Clearlook reduces the height of the descender, then the height of the ascender. This feature can be used in typesetting, to cut off the space occupied by the descender in a line without any characters descending below the baseline.
33330.Scope: If no text is selected when using this function, the active cell is set to the new value, otherwise the selected text is set to the new value according to the 33320.mode of selection.
5 res=20136.Number Columns speed button, number columns columns, multiple
BTNCOLS.BMP
Use this button to set the number of columns in a cell. The list displayed offers a choice from one to eight columns. Set any number of columns up to 255 to be created by Clearlook for one cell. To enter higher values, invoke the 33903.pop-up menu for the cell and select the 19211.setup function.
Specifying multiple columns for one cell causes the contents of the cell (the text) to flow through the specified number of adjacent columns before breaking to the next page.
Independent columns (that do not flow their content horizontally) are created by defining multiple, horizontally-adjacent text cells with the 20132.Open cell, Create table function.$
4 res=20115.Font Commands speed bar, font commands
Activate this button to list all defined styles. The style at the cursor position is highlighted. If you change the setting, the new style is used according to the scope rules. Select CREATE NEW, to access the 2350.styles dialog and define a new style. To edit an existing style, press the Ctrl key on the selected entry.
The styles of all open documents are listed. Styles not belonging to the active document are shown with a leading asterisk (*). You can select and use the styles of other documents. When saving the document, all styles it uses are automatically saved with it and appear as 'owned' styles the next time the document is opened.
33330.Scope: If no text is selected when using this function, the active cell is set to the new value, otherwise the selected text is set to the new value according to the 33320.mode of selection."
5 res=20138.Typeface speed button, typeface typeface, font
BTNFACE.BMP
Activate this button to list all installed fonts. The current font at the cursor position is highlighted. If you change the setting, the new font is used according to the scope rules.
33330.Scope: If no text is selected when using this function, the active cell is set to the new value, otherwise the selected text is set to the new value according to the 33320.mode of selection.
OS/2 allows for two different font types. A font is a vector font (also called scalable font) or a bitmap font. When creating printable documents it is preferable to use scalable fonts. They can be scaled to any size and allow you to 20131.view the document in any scale factor.
You may choose bitmap fonts to edit plain text or source code programs. Bitmap fonts cannot be scaled, but they are slightly faster in display and easier to read. To use a bitmap font, call the 10244.font menu function and specify the font type.
Once a cell or a document is set to bitmap fonts, activating this button displays a list of bitmap fonts. Otherwise, scalable fonts are offered.+

5 res=10278.Function Transform transform (text)
This function prompts you for a 20530.transform document. Once the transform document is selected, all text 20520.markings in the active document are transformed as defined in the transform document. A new, unnamed document containing the transform result is created. The transform function is called from the source document which contains the markings for the new 20550.destination document.
This function is used when defining a 20530.transform document. The transform process takes the markings of the source document, and creates a new destination document according to the transform definition. It is possible to create new sort orders during this process and to merge identical text strings. This is defined in the transform document, using the defines dialog activated by this function.
This function invokes the 2400.spelling dialog. All words are verified for correct spelling.
5 res=10292.Function Check from Cursor check from cursor spell checking: from cursor
The 2400.spelling dialog is invoked. Words starting at the cursor position are verified for correct spelling.
5 res=10293.Function Check Typing check typing spell checking: while typing
Spelling is verified as words are typed. A word is considered complete when a space or similar separation character is typed. If an incorrect spelling is detected, the 2420.typing dialog is invoked and a list of possible correct spellings displayed.
If the 20620.user lexicon contains word pairs, recognized tokens are automatically replaced while typing continues.
5 res=10294.Function Thesaurus thesaurus
The 2440.thesaurus dialog is invoked for the word at the cursor position. If available, meanings, synonyms, antonyms and compared word lists are presented. If the word is not in the thesaurus, its spelling is verified and a list of sound-alike words presented.
5 res=10295.Function Set Language language, set spell check
This function sets the documents language. The language setting loads the corresponding language files for spell checking and thesaurus requests. The document's language may also be set in the 2500.layout dialog. Individual cells may be set to a different language in the 2200.text cell dialog. Setting cells to no language, turns spell checking off for that cell.

4 res=19210.Function Setup (cursor object) setup, cursor object setup, function
This function gives you access to the setup of the active document object. The top object under the cursor defines the active object.
The cursor never indicates a text area or border, since the cursor cannot be moved outside a text cell, and a text area is always below a text cell at the cursor position. Therefore the setup function offers the choices of top object, text area and border. Each function activates the setup dialog for the specified document object.
This function accesses the setup dialog of the top object as indicated in the information bar. This is the same as calling the 10241.layout, 10242.cell, 10245.border or 19212.text area menu functions.
4 res=19212.Function Text Area text area, function
This function accesses the settings of the active 20223.text area. When the cursor is positioned on a higher-level text area, it invokes the setup dialog for layered text areas. If the active cell is contained in the base text area, the 2500.layout dialog of the document is invoked.
This function deletes the active document object. The cursor position defines the active object. Since the cursor cannot be placed on a text area (without a text cell on top of it) or a border, choose the top object as indicated in the infobar, or specify the text area or border to be deleted.
When invoking a pop-menu in a text document by pressing the right button of the pointing device, the active object is defined by the pointer position. The information bar indicates which object is selected. This function removes the indicated object.
If a text area has only one text cell, the text cell cannot be removed.
4 res=19243.Function Delete Text Area delete text area
This removes the active text area. You cannot remove the 20223.base text area, but you can remove a 20224.layered text area. Removing a text area removes all its cells with content.
4 res=19244.Function Delete Border delete border
This function removes the 20222.border of the active 20223.text area.
You may clone the text cell or the text area. Cloning means to create a new identical object without text. When cloning a 20224.layered text area, the border of the text area is recreated. When cloning a 20225.text cell, the font settings are recreated.
This function splits all text cells in one row (horizontally adjacent text cells). The line containing the cursor becomes the first line of the lower row of text cells.
A dashed line is displayed. Move this line to indicate the horizontal cutting line where a cell or a row of cells will be split. To split cells, press the left button, to abort, press the Esc key.
To easily create new rows of cells in tables, split the top or the bottom of a row of existing cells.
4 res=19214.Function New Cell new cell, function function new cell
This function creates new, empty 20225.text cells. Create a single cell or an array of cells to form a table. You are prompted to position the new cells to the left, right, top or bottom of an existing cell.
This function opens one new text cell in the document, or creates a table consisting of several text cells of identical size.
When calling the function, a sample of a table appears. Move the pointer to mark a single cell, a row of cells or an array (rows and columns) of cells. You can 612.define how many new cells are created and their organization in rows and columns.
To execute this action, press the first button of the pointing device and keep it pressed. You are prompted to 20201.place the single cell or array of cells defined. Different pointer shapes appear as you move the pointer over the document, indicating positions to 'drop' the new cells. Release the first button to place the cells, press Esc to abort the operation.
If placed above or below an existing cell, an array of identically-sized cells is inserted on the top or the bottom. If the left or right sides are chosen, empty space must be available on the side of the existing cell. All of the empty space is used to open the cells defined.
The new cells inherit the font settings on the cursor position at the beginning of the operation.
This function is equivalent to the 20132.open cell, create table speedbar button.7
4 res=19215.Function New Text Area new text area, function function new text area
When activating this function, a new 20224.layered text area is inserted into the document at the cursor or pointer position. The new text area is contained in the active text area. If this function is invoked while the cursor or pointer is on the base text area, a second-level text area is created. If the function is called with the cursor or pointer in the second-level text area, a third-level text area is created (and so on). Size and move the new text area according to your needs.
The new text area has one cell. This cell inherits the font settings on the cursor position at the beginning of the operation.
4 res=19216.Function New Border new border, function function new border
This function creates a new 20222.border with default size for the active 20223.text area. Double-click the new border or use the 10245.border menu function to change border settings and appearance.
4 res=19217.Function New Bitmap new bitmap, function function new bitmap
Use this function to import a new bitmap from disk or screen. These functions are identical to the 55013.import bitmap and 55013.screen clip functions in the main menu.
If several cells are selected in area mode, this function enlarges their size to the size of the largest cell. Sufficient space is required on the right of the cells for the enlargement to succeed. Otherwise, the cells are enlarged only as far as available space allows (until an adjacent cell is reached).
33320.Selected objects are removed from the document.
4 res=19246.Function Text Cell Settings text cell settings, multiple settings, multiple text cells
This function changes the settings of a group of cells. To define a group of cells, select cells in 20228.area mode. Place the cursor or pointer on the selection and activate the 10246.object menu to access this function.
The text offset, language, shading and border settings may be changed. When setting the border for a group of cells, the group is framed in the border defined, while the individual cells are outlined by thin lines. In other words, this way you create the appearance of an outlined table. This function displays the 2220.selected text cells dialog.$

You can define a border for every 20223.text area.
Line width: The width of the line that constitutes the border. Setting a value of zero removes the border.
External margin: The distance from the outer edge of the 20223.text area to the first line of the border.
Internal margin: The distance from the inner line of the border to the space available to 20225.text cells.
Number of lines: The border can be composed of any number of lines.
Line distance: If number of lines is set to a value larger than one, this field appears. Specify the distance between the lines.
Line decrease: If number of lines is set to a value larger than one, this field appears. Specify a decrease in line width for each subsequent line. A line width of 0.6" and a decrease value of 30%, for example, creates an outermost-line width of 0.6", a second-line width of 0.4" and a third-line width of 0.2". If a negative value is entered, the line width increases from the outside to the interior of the frame design.
Radius: If the line type is set to rounded, this field appears. Specify the corner radius. You may set a value larger than the width or height of the text area. This creates an elliptical border that fits exactly within the new text area.
Meander: Creates borders that meander. The minimum number of lines for this design is 3. When more are specified, the design is placed within a rectangular border. Higher values selected for the number of lines, repeats the meander design.
Shading: Set one of the shadings to lighten the appearance of the design. Border designs with wide lines gain an attractive look when combined with shading.=

Distance: Specifies the distance between columns, when the number of columns is greater than one.
Text Offset: This is a 'margin' of white space between the edge of a cell and its text. When defining a cell border, use these settings to specify white space between the border and the text.
Language: Specifies the language used for spell checking. If set to default, the document's settings are used. If set to none, spell checking is disabled. Set to any other value, it overrides the document's settings.
Shading: Specify the background of the text cell. This setting overrides any setting for the text area.
Border: You can define a border for every text cell. The value entered for line width defines the width of the border. A value of zero removes the border. A shading can be specified for the border lines. To create a border around a group of cells, select the group in area mode.

Changing selected text cells with this dialog is the same as entering the changes for each text cell, except when changing the border of a group of cells. Setting a border for a group of selected cells outlines the whole group in the border, and the group appears as an outlined table. The cells within the group are outlined with a thin line.

Use this dialog to specify the text alignment within one cell or several cells, and to specify the amount of white space between lines by line distance or leading values.
Alignment: Text within a cell can be aligned to the left or right edge of the cell or centered between the edges. It can display in full justification, completely filling the width of the cell. Full justification is achieved by adding extra space to every character in the line, or by adding extra space between words only.
Scope: Changes to alignment or line distance affect the document according to this setting:
Active cell: Changes affect the cell where the cursor is positioned when activating the dialog.
Active text area: Changes affect all cells in the same 20223.text area where the cursor is positioned.
Entire document: Changes affect all cells of the document, regardless of the text area they are contained in.
Selected text: Changes affect selected text only.
Note: Depending if text is selected in flow or area mode, the 33330.changes affect the document in different ways. Active cell, active text area, and entire document settings perform as if selected in area mode!
Line distance: Clearlook calculates the height of a line via the fonts used in that line and the default leading value for each font. By checking this button, a field appears. Enter a value to override the automatic calculation. The units correspond to the units selected in the 2500.layout dialog. To specify a user line distance with typewriter units such as 1, 1.5, 2 etc., use the 20135.line-distance speedbar button. Setting this field overrides the automatic calculation of the line height, and may cause subsequent lines to overlap.
User leading: Check this button to display an entry field to enter a value for leading in the units you choose. Leading is the preferred method to increase or decrease the distance between lines, since it does not override Clearlook's automatic line-height calculation. Leading refers to an amount of white space added between subsequent lines. Fonts usually contain a default leading value. If no user leading is specified, Clearlook uses this value to space lines. By manually entering a value for user leading, you may reduce the font's leading value (down to zero) and cause the lines to move closer together. If a value larger than the font's leading is specified, the lines move further apart. Lines do not overlap, because the value for the additional distance between lines is modified.M

Style: All styles available for the selected font are displayed. Most fonts offer styles of regular, bold, italic, bold-italic. Some fonts offer additional choices. The choices in this field depend on the selection in the name field.
Size: A list of the most common choices is displayed. Enter any size in the entry field of the dropdown list, if font type is set to vector. If font type is set to bitmap, a list of available font sizes is displayed. The field for font size is then disabled.
Attribute: Check any choice, and the system emulates the attribute.
Font type: Presentation Manager allows two font types: Vector and bitmap fonts. In printable text documents you may prefer to use vector fonts, since they can be scaled to any size. With vector fonts, you can view your text document in any scale. For certain editing purposes, bitmap fonts are preferred. Bitmap fonts display slightly faster and clearer. A bitmap font is usually offered in several fixed sizes, and cannot be sized to any value like vector fonts. If you use a bitmap font anywhere in your text document, you are unable to scale the view of this document. Clearlook lets you mix vector and bitmap fonts for special purposes, though this is not recommended.
Scope: Any 33330.changes set in the above fields affect your document according to the scope setting.3
4 res=2350.Styles Dialog styles dialog
.*Figure 6-17 Styles Dialog
A style is a collection of text attributes.
Instead of applying several text attributes to the same portion of text, you may define a style and apply the style to those portions of text. If you use Helvetia, 16 pt, Underscore in several parts of a document for example, you may either apply these three attributes wherever needed, or define a style set to these three attributes and apply the style to your text. The latter is just one item to handle.
An additional advantage of styles is their ease to change, add and remove additional attributes in the style definition, causing all portions of text with that style to appear in the new setting. (You can achieve the same by area selecting the document and changing individual text attributes.)
You may combine conventional attribute settings and styles in any manner. Clearlook's styles have a look-through feature for every attribute. An attribute is set to look-through, when a dashed line appears as a setting (or a value of zero for size). To use a style for a variety of colors for example, set color to look-through. The conventional attribute settings for color will then also affect the 'styled' portions of text. If color is set to red in the style, all 'styled' text parts appear in red, independent of other color attributes set in the stream of characters.
Styles can be conveniently used to collapse portions of text. Set the lining in the style definition no-print. This causes all of the portions of text set to that particular style to disappear. The collapsed text is visible if 20128.show cells is on.
Name: The name you give the style serves your reference only.

In a transform that creates labels for example, some address labels may use a P.O. Box entry, while others do not. What happens with the field for the P.O. Box in addresses where it is not used? This field remains empty. Setting variable length causes the field to shrink to zero. If you have reserved a separate line in the address for the P.O. Box, you may want this line to disappear if not used. This is controlled with suppression right and left.
Suppression right is the quantity of characters suppressed in the transforming document, if the field is zero. If a suppression right value of 1 is set for the P.O. Box field, then when not used, the character to the right of the field is removed with the field. If the character to the right is a carriage return terminating the line, then the whole line is removed.
Use suppression right and left in any combination and cause them to remove other data fields. Remember that a data field counts as one character!
Variable length, lines constant is similar to variable length. If settings for suppression right or left remove carriage returns, the number removed is added at the end of the text cell containing the data field.B

4 res=2130.Date Format Dialog date format dialog
.*Figure 6-22 Date Format Dialog
The date format dialog defines formats for date, by defining its composition. A date has one to four portions. For each portion, define if day, month or year should be displayed, as well as the numeric or verbose format.
A verbose format is available for the year as well. It displays a year name as used in the calendars of some Asian countries. These calendars usually begin the new year in February or March. This offset is not taken into account when the verbose format of year names is used.
Date portions may be separated by a variety of different characters, including a dot or coma with space. For some date formats, where additional text is included between the weekday and date for example, these formatting features may not be enough. In these cases, create the format by including two fill-ins for date. One formatted to show the day of the week followed by additional text, the other formatted to numerically display the date.
Static date displays the document creation date or the fill-in creation date. If you define a fill-in for date in a document template, whenever you use the template to create a document from it, the creation date of the document is filled-in.
Momentary date displays the display or print date. This is useful to automatically insert the print date in documents.
