__oO Installation Notes Oo__
Welcome to the PaperSelect PaperGuides installation program.
This program will install your new templates and associated
macros in the subdirectories of your choice.
The default directory set by Microsoft(tm) for Word for
Windows(tm) Version 2c is C:\WINWORD and normally templates are
stored in this directory. You may choose any directory during
the installation, however, if the chosen directory does not
exist you will NOT be prompted before it is created.
Version 6 of Word for Windows usually stores templates in
C:\WINWORD\TEMPLATE and users will need to change the default.
The product documentation (below) gives a full list of the files
transferred to your system and instructions for using the guides.
Important notes for Network users
---------------------------------
1) Please be sure, BEFORE you begin installation, that you are
authorised to install this software on your network.
2) On a network your templates are unlikely to be stored with
the Word for Windows files so check with the network
supervisor where WINWORD has been setup to look for these.
3) This package is sold for use by a SINGLE user on one
computer. To make multiple copies or to use it for more
than one person at a time is THEFT. If you need a multi-

Instructions for using PaperGuides
with Word for Windows
==================================
Introduction
============
What are PaperGuides?
---------------------
PaperGuides are the simplest way of getting your text and
images in just the right place on any of the papers in the
PaperSelect range.
What do I need to use the PaperGuide?
-------------------------------------
You need to be using Windows and one of the software packages
for which the PaperGuides have been developed - currently Word,
Ami Pro and Wordperfect. The PaperGuides are intended for use
on PCs being used in isolation and not as part of a network.
Before attempting to install the PaperGuides onto a network,
contact your Network Administrator.
What is included in the PaperGuides?
------------------------------------
On every diskette there is a layout for Letterheads,
PaperSurrounds, Business Cards, Compliment Slips,
Certificates, PaperLeaflets and Reply Cards.
Using PaperGuides
=================
All the PaperGuides work on the same principle - they save
you time and effort by ensuring that the text is placed on
the page without impinging onto the designs on the paper.
In common with any document, your work can be saved using
the 'FILE' menu and selecting the 'SAVE' option.
To access the PaperGuides, open Word choose the 'FILE' menu
and select 'NEW'. Scroll down the list of files until you
reach your chosen PaperGuide. All the PaperGuides are
installed under the following filenames.
PSCARDS - Business cards
PSCERTL - Certificate - landscape
PSCERTP - Certificate - portrait
PSCOMPS - Compliments slips
PSLFTCF - Leaflet - column - front
PSLFTCR - Leaflet - column - rear
PSLFTTF - Leaflet - table - front
PSLFTTR - Leaflet - table rear
PSLTRL - L/head/ Surround landscape
PSLTRP - L/head/ Surround portrait
PSREPLY - Reply card
Highlight the required one and double click with the left
mouse button to open.
Business Cards and Compliment Slips
===================================
There are two options - to use a pre-designed layout or
to design one of your own.
Using the pre-designed option
-----------------------------
When you open the PaperGuide for the first time you will see
a template requesting the relevant details to be included on
your document. You do not need to fill in all the boxes, just
those that you want to print on your document. Some fields
within the template eg Fax, Telephone and Mobile have an
optional print facility - removing the 'X' from the box will
stop the details printing on the document, but will allow you
store them for future use.
Fill in all the details you require, and move to the next box
using the 'TAB' key. Once you have entered all the details
clicking on the 'FILE' box will store the information for
future use.
Once this is complete, you can either 'PRINT' the cards or
slips or make any last minute changes by clicking 'EDIT'
before printing.
NB To avoid the text 'falling off' the bottom of the business
cards, the Company name must fit on one line. The number of
characters permitted depends on the font and typeface used.
Designing your own business cards or compliment slips
-----------------------------------------------------
Simply click 'CANCEL' when the template appears on the screen.
This will take you into a blank screen. Enter your text which
will be placed automatically to fit the PaperSelect business
cards and compliment slips.
Letterhead/PaperSurround
========================
There are two versions - portrait and landscape. Using these
PaperGuides will ensure that your text stays within the area
designated for the text and doesn't impinge on the border
design.
Certificates
============
There are two options available - portrait and landscape, and
both have the option to use a pre-designed layout, or to
design one of your own.
Using the pre-designed certificate
----------------------------------
As previously, when you open the PaperGuide a template will
appear. Fill in the details requested, moving to the next box
using the 'TAB' key. Once you have all the text in place,
click 'OK' and the information will automatically appear on
the certificate.
Then print your document as normal.
Designing your own certificates
-------------------------------
Simply click 'CANCEL' when the template appears on the screen.
This will take you into the page for you to enter your text.
PaperLeaflets
=============
Two alternatives for the PaperLeaflets are available.
Column mode
-----------
This basically sets the margins and borders as a three column
page layout to fit the text in exactly the right place. In this
mode text can flow from one column to the next.
Table mode
----------
In this format each column is set as an individual table and
text will not flow from one column to the next. This mode is
particularly suitable where the text for each column is clearly
defined.
Each of the modes has two pages - front and rear. The 'front'
should be used as the outside of the leaflet, with the right
hand column as it appears on the screen, being the front cover.
Reply Cards
-----------
The PaperGuide divides the page into three. Type your message
in the top section, and your reply card in the bottom section.
The middle section indicates where the tear off perforations
are placed.
Helpful hints
=============
When you are working in a PaperGuide document it should be
treated exactly the same as a normal document eg you can
change the text font and size; you can import clip art images;
you can save the document as usual for future use.
You should always run a test sheet on plain white paper and
hold it against your chosen design to make sure you are happy
with the layout before printing onto the PaperSelect paper.
Then print one sheet of the PaperSelect paper before commencing
the full print run.
PaperLeaflets
-------------
The 'Front' PaperGuide should always be used for the cover, and
remember the front cover will be the right hand column as it
appears on the screen.
PaperLeaflets require printing on both sides, so you will have
to print one side, and then turn the paper over and print the
other side. It is recommended you use a manual feed path or
back door pull out paper tray, if your printer has one.
Word for Windows v6.0
---------------------
These PaperGuides have been developed using Word for Windows
v2c, but they have been found to work satisfactorily with
version 6.0. An upgrade to version 6 is currently in
development.
