Setting Preference Attributes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ User Preference gives you some additional and specialized function. Here is also where you can show or hide some screen markers as you edit. You can even change your menu bar from user to advanced mode. Dialog: Dialog (X) is useful when you know you will want to change attributes often. As you take drag and drop actions and want to change the default attributes of the panel or animation strip or anything else you can drop on, a dialog will display automatically and you can change those defaults. Group: Group (X) allows you to decide whether you want a panel of an online help or book to replace another or to be displayed side by side. Group is an IPF function. Icon view: Panel icon view (X) allows you to see the table of contents or file or other appropriate objects as pictures instead of lists. Clear: Clear (X) means that you want to clear the screen of all other panels each time you bring another to work with. This is helpful if you do not have much memory or do not like your screen cluttered as you work. Structure Symbols: Show structure symbol (X) gives you markers above and below your list structures. You will want to keep the markers visible while you edit because you will need to use them to tell Hyperwrite/E where you want to start another element. If your cursor is placed within the structure, a paragraph, for example, is indented and becomes part of the list. If your cursor is after the final marker, a paragraph is then placed to the left or outside the list. Hide Key Symbols Markers: Show markers (X) is also helpful when you want to identify where you may have a spot reference or hidden or locked text. Full Element List AC Viewports: Disable AC Viewports (X) allows you to work with panels that are connected to programs. It is more convenient if you do not have the program that is autolinked to the panel available or if you do not want that program to keep starting up as you are editing. Autolinks: Disable autolinks (X) allows you to work withone panel and not have other actions take place. In IPF, an author can decide if another panel should automatically come up or if a message should be sent to some application when that panel is displayed or if a uncompiled text should be displayed at the time a specific panel is displayed. Advanced Mode: User mode (X) unclutters your Action bar. Because you are provided with style files and font styles and some panel styles, you do not need to create your own. If you do want to create your own, you can toggle the X off and the Action bar changes. Information properties: Overriding information properties is a very powerful part of this editor. If you decide that you want to create field names and blank fields, this function allows you to do that. It's almost like creating your own software panel. For example, if you have a field where you want your user to enter his or her name, you can type the word NAME and leave 10 underscores. With Display and Visual (X) meaning make do not make this displayable and visible, those underscores can be hidden. With no X in edit, you can make the field editable. With no X on the cursor choice, you can make the word NAME safe from being edited. Graphics Editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 60. Working with Panels ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The Panel option lets you work with panels: create new ones, open existing ones, change the characteristics of a panel, create links to other panels, save or delete panels.

Hypertext links can be defined through a drag/drop operation or by choosing a menu bar selection. The drag/drop method is the easiest. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 69. Linking to Other Panels ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Hypertext links can be defined through a drag/drop operation or by choosing a menu bar selection. The drag/drop method is the easiest: To create a link between two panels using the drag/drop method: 1. Highlight the text in your source panel by pressing mouse button one while you swipe over the text. 2. Press mouse button two over the highlighted text. Notice that the mouse cursor changes to a "chain link". While holding mouse button two down, drag the "chain link" over the target panel.

Tab characteristics Indicate whether or not you want this prefix to begin on a new line in the Tab characteristics field. Levels You can have up to 16 levels associated with a prefix. These levels correspond to nesting or indentation options. For example, level one of an ordered list uses 1, 2, 3 and level two uses a, b, c to enumerate the elements in the list. Each time the user selects nesting features, the associated prefix level is used. Level information Because this information can be different for each level, you must define in for each level you select. Symbol type You can have Hyperwrite/E increment or count for you, for example, numbering ordered list items. Hyperwrite/E will do this for you either with numbers or letters. Specify whether you want Numeric or Alpha. Prefix The prefix is the actual character data you would like supplied automatically. Suffix The suffix is what you'd like supplied next -- usually used after you have specified a numeric or alpha symbol. For example, in ordered lists, a period is used in the suffix field to be placed after the number generated for the item. Indent Specify how far from the left margin the text is to begin. Indent may be positive or negative. For example, if the left margin is 10, indent may be -10, which places the cursor at the edge of the panel. Pressing the tab key moves the cursor from the edge of the panel to the left margin. Start value Specify the number or character to be used the first time the element is called for. Max Increment Specify the increment Hyperwrite/E is to use to add to the value each time the element is called for. Auto tab ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 107.
