     A Few Word about the Law

 A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE LAW
 -------------------------

 When you open the envelope containing  the  Wordworth disks, you agree to
accept the terms of the Digita  software license (contained in the chapter
titled "Terms And Conditions of  Sale",  in  this book). The license gives
you the right to install Wordworth on one computer and make a backup copy.

 When you violate the license, you  violate  the Copyright Act, which says
it's illegal to make or distribute  copies of copyrighted material without
authorisation from  the  copyright  owner.  The  Act  also  prohibits  the
commercial rental, leasing, or lending of software without the copyright
owner's written permission.

 Each time you copy software illegally, you  or your company risk facing a
considerable fine. And  if  you  do  it  "wilfully  and  for  purposes of
commercial advantage," you could go to jail.

WARNING

 All Digita products contain copyright material in the form of proprietary
software programmes and this printed  book.  Digita will seek considerable
damages from any person and / or  organisation found to be in violation of
the copyrights. Breach of copyright can also lead to criminal proceedings.

YOU A SOFTWARE PIRATE?

 You may not be aware of it, but if you answer "yes" to any of the
questions below, you've probably violated software copyright law..

 Have You Ever
 * Given away an old version of software when you received an upgrade.?

 * Given a copy of your software to a colleague at work?

 * "Borrowed" someone's software to try it out, then never purchased it?

 * Left copies of your software on a hard disk when you sold a computer?

 * Used software on the hard disk of a previously owned computer without
   paying for it?

 (This list is not exhaustive.)

 Page xii

The Benefits of Using Legal Software

 When  you  use  legal   copies   of   software,  you  receive  timesaving
documentation and product support.  You  minimise  the  risk  of copying a
software virus on your computer. And  if  your original disk gets damaged,
you can get up-to-date replacements.  What's  more, you can receive timely
notification of product upgrades.

 But beyond the tangible benefits,  you're  also  purchasing the, right to
legitimately use software that took a team of hard working people years
and thousands of pounds to produce.

 Your purchase is a vote. It's your way of rewarding the team that created
the great software. And it's your way  of encouraging and enabling them to
produce even better products in the future.

                     1.1 What You Should Already Know

 To set up Wordworth on  your  Amiga,  you  need an understanding of basic
Amiga concepts. Before you begin, you should know how to:

 * Use icons on the Amiga Workbench.

 * Use the mouse to point, drag click and double-click.

 * Start and quit applications using Workbench.

 * How to initialize and copy disks using the Shell and Workbench.

 * Open, copy, and delete Amiga documents and disks from Workbench.

 * Select menus, pull down menus and choose commands.

 * Scroll in windows, and re-size and re-position windows.

 If you are not familiar with these terms or processes, see your
Amiga owner's guide.

 Page 25


@node 1.2
                      1.2 Preparing to Use Wordworth

 You have been provided with four master disks.

 It's important to work with  copies  of  your Wordworth disks rather than
the originals. If a copy  is  damaged  or  lost,  you  can  go back to the
original and make another copy.

 step 1

 Make backup copies of your master disks.

 Before copying the master disks, slide up the small tab (if it exists) in
the upper-left corner on the  back  of  each  disk  so  that  it is in the
uppermost position (the tab will no longer  be visible from the front side
of the disk). This locks  information  on  the disk, preventing accidental
deletion of files and documents.

 step 2

 Now copy each disk as follows.

 Switch on your Amiga and  insert  the disk titled Workbench. Double-click
the Workbench disk icon, double-click the  System drawer, and then double-
click the Shell icon.

 Type: Sys:System/diskcopy from DF0: to DF1: and press the
 Return key (be sure to type a zero, not the letter O).

 step 3

 Now place the original master  disk  in  the  internal disk drive and the
backup disk in the second drive. When prompted, press the Return key.

 Page 26

 Make a backup copy of all the disks using this procedure and then put the
originals away in a safe place.

 Important

 If you make backups from  Workbench  be  sure  to rename the backup disks
removing copy of and make sure there are no hidden spaces contained in the
disk titles.

                             1.3 Installation

 You need to install Wordworth once before  you can use it. Once Wordworth
has been successfully instilled, you  do  not  need  to repeat the process
again unless you wish to add extra Wordworth modules.


@node 1.3.1
 1.3.1 Installing Wordworth

 Floppy disk users
 You need to have the following items before you can begin:

 * The four backup copies of your Wordworth master disks (to make backup
   copies, follow the procedures outlined in section 1.2 "Preparing to Use
   Wordworth").

 * At least five blank floppy disks onto which Wordworth will be
   installed.

 Throughout this  procedure  you  will  be  prompted  to  change  disks as
necessary (for example, Insert volume Ww3System in any drive).

 step 1

 Switch on your Amiga and insert the disk titled Ww3Install-1.

 step 2

 When the desktop appears,  double-click  the  Ww31nstall-1 disk icon, and
then double-click the install Wordworth 3 icon.

 step 3

 Before the  installation  begins,  you  will  be  asked  to  specify your
knowledge of the Amiga:

 Novice        A basic installation is automatically performed for you.
               From time-to-time the installer may ask you to insert other
               disks.

 Intermediate  A basic installation is automatically performed for you.
               Occasionally, you may be asked to make certain choices that
               will affect the installation.

 Expert        You will be asked to make choices as to which features are
               installed for you.

 Click Proceed to start the installation.

 step 4

 When prompted, select the radio button  titled "On Floppy Disks" and then
click the Proceed button to start the installation process.

 Page 28

 step 5

 Novice users only-the installer will install Wordworth 3 onto your set of
blank  disks.  Some  of  the  more  advanced  features  (such  as  Tables,
TextEffects, TrueType  and  PostScript  font  support,  graphic  and  text
filters) will not be installed.

 Now go to step 7.

 step 6

 Intermediate or Expert Users only-the  installer  will  ask you to select
the type of installation you require:

 Partial   The more advanced features are not installed, these are Tables,
           TextEffects, TrueType and PostScript font support, graphic and
           text filters.

 Full      All features of Wordworth 3 are automatically installed for
           you.

 Custom    You will be given the ability to choose exactly what files
           (features) are installed.

 If you use a PostScript printer you will need a hard disk drive.

 step 7

 Before the end of  the  installation  you  will  be  asked to select your
printer model from a list. To move  up  and  down the list, use the scroll
arrows to the right of the list entries.

 If your printer does not appear in the list, refer to your "Printer
User Manual" to find the most suitable equivalent (you may find this under
a section titled Emulations). If you can't  find a suitable printer in the
list then select 'Printer Not Listed".

 Click OK to install your printer.

 IMPORTANT
 If you get a message to insert a disk which is already in the drive, then
the disk is incorrectly titled and needs renaming.

 A  message  will  appear  to  confirm  that  the  installation  has  been
successfully  completed.  Now  reset  your  Amiga  with  the  disk  titled
Wordworth3 in the  internal  drive  and  refer  to  Chapter Two, "Starting
Wordworth".

 Page 29


 Hard Disk Users

 You will need a minimum of 3MB  of  disk  space to install Wordworth 3 to
hard disk.

 This installation copies Wordworth  into  a  drawer  titled Wordworth3 on
your hard disk. Within this drawer,  the installer will copy the Wordworth
files, thesaurus,  dictionary  files,  program  modules,  fonts,  tutorial
documents, some Digita  Clip  Art,  a  selection  of  Wordworth Templates,
icons, graphic and text filters, and the Wordworth help files.

 step 1

 Switch on your computer and wait  for  the Workbench desktop to appear as
normal.

 step 2

 When the Workbench appears, insert  the disk titled Ww31nstall-1. Double-
click the  disk  icon  and  then  double-click  the  icon  titled  install
Wordworth 3.

 step 3

 Before the  installation  begins,  you  will  be  asked  to  specify your
knowledge of the Amiga:

 Novice        A basic installation is automatically performed for you.
               From time-to-time the installer may ask you to insert
               appropriate disks.

 Intermediate  A basic installation is automatically performed for you.
               Occasionally, you may be asked to make certain choices that
               will affect the installation.

 Expert        You will be asked to make choices as to which features are
               installed for you.

 Click Proceed to start the installation.

 step 4

 When prompted, select the radio button  titled  "On A Hard Disk" and then
click the Proceed button to start the installation.

 Page 30

 step 5

 Novice users only-the installer will  install  Wordworth 3 onto your hard
disk. At  the  end  of  the  installation,  you  will  be  told  where the
Wordworth3 drawer containing the Wordworth  program  is situated. (On most
hard disks,  this  will  be  the  partition  titled  Work.  However,  if a
partition of this name does not exist, the installer will make an informed
guess.)

 Some of the more advanced features (such as Tables, TextEffects, TrueType
and PostScript  font  support,  graphic  and  text  filters)  will  not be
installed.

 Now go to step 7.

 Intermediate or Expert user's the  installer  will  ask you to select the
destination for Wordworth (where you wish  the Wordworth program and files
to be  located  on  your  hard  disk).  Insert  the  appropriate  disks as
requested.

 step 6

 Intermediate or Expert Users  Only-You  will  be  prompted to choose what
type of installation you require:

 Partial    The more advanced features are not installed, these are
            Tables, TextEffects, TrueType and PostScript font support,
            graphic and text filters. You will need a minimum of 3MB of
            disk space.

 Full       All features of Wordworth 3 are automatically installed for
            you. You will need a minimum of 5MB of disk space.

 Custom     You will be given the ability to choose exactly what files are
            installed. A minimum of 3MB of disk space will be needed (the
            maximum is 5MB).

 You will also need about  1MB  disk  space  in  your system partition for
Wordworth libraries, fonts and other files.

 Your Amiga system and the  amount  of  memory available will decide which
Wordworth modules can be installed.


 IMPORTANT
 If you get a message to insert a disk which is already in the drive, then
the disk is incorrectly titled and needs renaming.

 Page 31

 step 7

 Before the end of  the  installation  you  will  be  asked to select your
printer model from a list. To move  up  and  down the list, use the scroll
arrows to the right of the list entries.

 If your printer does not appear in  the  list, refer to your Printer User
Manual" to find the most suitable  equivalent  (you  may find this under a
section titled Emulations). If you  can't  find  a suitable printer in the
list then select ' Printer Not Listed.

 Click OK to install your printer.

 A  message  will  appear  to  confirm  that  the  installation  has  been
successfully completed. Now reset your  Amiga  as  usual (ensuring that no
Wordworth disks  are  in  the  internal  drive)  and  refer  Chapter  Two,

 Floppy Disk Users

 Insert the disk titled Wordworth3 into the internal disk drive and switch
on your Amiga. Double-click  the  Wordworth3  disk  icon, and then double-
click the Wordworth program icon  (sometimes  you  may be prompted to swap
disks, this is normal as  Wordworth  searches  for  files located on other
disks).

 IMPORTANT
 Be sure to use the Wordworth3 disk, not your Amiga Workbench disk.

 Hard Disk Users

 Double-click the Wordworth icon located in  the Wordworth3 drawer on your
hard disk.

The first time you start Wordworth, you will be prompted to type:

 * Your name.

 * The name of your organization. (If this is not applicable, type your
   name again.)

 * Your license number (this appears on your registration card).


 * Click OK.

 You must type information into all three boxes.


 IMPORTANT
 Don't forget to return the prepaid portion of the registration card. Only
registered Wordworth users receive  technical  support and special upgrade
discounts.

 Once you have personalized the program, your name and details will appear
every time you  start  Wordworth,  confirming  that  you  are a registered
licensed user. If you do not personalize Wordworth correctly, you will be
returned to the Workbench screen.

 Page 35

Wordworth does not work  without  an  open  document.  When  you start the
program or close a document, a  new  untitled document will open. However,
as soon as you open another document, the untitled document will disappear
(unless you have been working on it).

 Each document is a separate multitasking window. This means, for example,
if you open two documents, you  could  be  printing one whilst editing the
other.

 To start Wordworth,  double-click  the  Wordworth  icon.  This will start
Wordworth and the untitled Normal (preset) template document.

page.

 To show or hide the  horizontal  ruler,  ruler  tools, vertical ruler and
status bar, choose 'Change Settings"' (Setting  menu) and select View from
the list gadget.

 You  can  also  select  the   "Measurement  Unit"  (inches,  centimetres,
millimetres, points, picas). The measurement  is displayed in the top-left
corner of the screen  when  both  the  vertical  and horizontal rulers are
shown.

 The vertical ruler shows the length of  the  page. As well as showing the
width of the page, the horizontal ruler  can  be used for setting tabs and
indenting paragraphs.

 Tabs

 Four styles of tab (represented by tab  icons) are displayed on the right
side of the ruler tools and are selected by clicking them.

 Having set the tab style, select  the  paragraph(s)  in which you want to
set a tab. Move the pointer  over  the  lower half of the horizontal ruler
and click on the position you w ant-this sets a tab on the ruler.

 The tab can be moved along the ruler  by dragging to the new position, or
removed by dragging it onto the page.

 Page 43

 When moving a tab, the text will move to the new position.

 When you set  a  tab  it  applies  to  the  current  paragraph (where the
insertion point is located), or the current selection.

 You can use tabs to create tables  or  lists and the justification may be
mixed by using different tab styles.

 Default tabs (set from the Tabs  command,  Format menu), are shown on the
ruler as small horizontal lines. When a  tab is manually set on the ruler,
it will override any default tabs to the left.

 Tabs can be set more accurately using the Tabs command (Format menu).

 Indents

 Indents are offsets from the left and  right  margins on a page. They can
be used for insetting certain paragraphs  for  emphasis, or for making the
first line of a paragraph slightly inset,  or  outset from the rest of the
paragraph.

 The left indent and first line are shown  on the left of the ruler as two
small triangles, one above the other The right indent is shown as a larger
triangle on the right of the ruler.

 Figure 3-6 Horizontal ruler indents

 The left indent is  repositioned  by  dragging  the  lower small triangle
across the ruler to the  position  desired.  The  first  line will also be
moved. To move the left indent independently, drag the lower triangle with
the Menu button.

 To adjust the first line indent, drag  the top triangle. A hanging indent
is created by dragging the first line to the left of the left indent.

 The right indent is repositioned by dragging the triangle on the right of
the ruler.

 Indents may be set more  accurately  using  the Paragraph command (Format
menu).

 Page 44

 Ruler Tools

 Ruler tools are located above  the  horizontal  ruler and contain many of
the commands associated with  text  formatting.  Commands  are selected by
clicking their icons.

 These commands are also  available  using  the  Font,  Paragraph and Tabs
commands (Format menu).

 The ruler tools  also  provide  information  about  the current insertion
point, such as the font used, size,  and  so  on. These will update if the
text changes.

 When you start Wordworth, the document window appears. It is called
"untitled 1".

The blinking vertical bar on the page is referred to as the "insertion
point" and marks the position of where characters will appear when you
start typing. Before you start typing, set Wordworth to show special
symbols.

 step 1

 Choose "Show Codes" from the View pull-down menu. These are on-screen
symbols and will not appear on printouts.

 WHAT YOU SEE   WHAT THEY MEAN

 ¶              End of paragraph mark

   Unlike the stars, which shyne with their own
   light, the planets of our solar system can only
   be seen because they reflect the light of the
   sun. As they are much closer than the stars, we
   can follow their movements across the sky. ¶
   The brightest object in the sky, apart from the
   sun and the moon, is Venus. It is about the size
   of the Earth, with an atmosphere of brilliant
   white clouds, which prevents its surface from
   being seen clearly.¶
   Saturn, the second largest planet (about 119,000
   km in diameter), is the most extraordinary of the
   planets because it is surrounded by a system of
   rings. For a long time the rings puzzled
   astronomers, but they are now known to consist of
   millions of separate solid particles.¶


 Figure 4-4 Creating a document

 Notice that the first line automatically wordwraps onto the next line.
Wordwrap means that you do not have to watch the screen to see where to
press the Return key.

 The mouse pointer arrow changes into a vertical bar (I-beam) when you
click on the page. The insertion point blinking vertical bar) moves there
when you click the mouse. You can also move the insertion point around the

 (As AmigaGuide menus vary depending on the version of Workbench they are
not documented in this book.)


@node 4.4
 4.4 EDITING TEXT

 In the first line of the text, you typed shyne, it should read Shine.

 step 1

 Using the mouse, move the I-beam over the word and double-click shyne
(with the Left Mouse button). It becomes highlighted and this is referred
to as "selected text," (which may be a letter, a word, several words, a
paragraph or an entire document). Sometimes, the Left Mouse button is
called the Selection button.

 If you accidentally select the whole line (triple-click), click once on
another part of the text and then try again.


 step 2

 With the word shyne selected (highlighted), type shine and press the
Space bar. You can see that in the document, the word shyne has been
replaced with shine.

 When you select text, Wordworth can do one of five things:

 * Replace the selection with the key(s) you press (as you have just
   discovered).

 * Erase the selection (press Backspace or Del).

 * Format the selection with the menu command you choose.

 * Copy the selection onto the clipboard.

 The next section explains some of these commands: Selecting text,
formatting text, and using the clipboard.

I-beam to the beginning of the first line Unlike the stars...

 Page 65

 Press and hold the Selection button and drag the I-beam
 downward to the last word of the first paragraph (sky) and

 release the Selection button. The text should now be

 (The text will remain selected until you click on the
 document.)

 Figure 4-7 Untitled document with text selected

 step 2

 Choose the Italic command from the Format pull-down menu. The text will
now appear in italic type style. You can change the style to appear in
a mixture of Bold, ltalic, Underline, Subscript or Superscript from the
Format menu.

 Each style is a toggle command, which means you choose it once to switch
it on, and then choose it again to switch it off. Most of these commands
are also available on the ruler.

 P B ¿ U

 Style icons: Plain Bold italic Underline

 With the text selected, set to bold by clicking the B icon on the ruler
(the italic icon should already be selected).

 Page 66

 Choose Plain (from the Format menu or ruler) to switch all of the other
styles off, making the text 'plain' style.

 The advantage of a program like Wordworth is that as you select different
styles for your text, they appear on the screen, just as they will appear
when you print the document. This is WYSIWYG! (What-You-See-Is-What-You-
Get.)

 You can also change the font using the Font command.

 step 1

 With the text selected, choose Font from the Format menu. You can also
select the Font command by clicking the appropriate icon on the toolbar.

 Figure 4-8 The 'Font Format' icon

 The font requester appears.

 Figure 4-8 Typeface requester

 This allows you to set the format for selected text. You can select the
font, style and colour.

 The default sizes (in points) appear in the pop-up Size box.

 However, you can type your own size, anything from 3 to over 1000 points!

 Page 67

 Notice that most of the options are set to 'mixed'. This is because the
selected text contains a mixture of settings (for example, there are
different styles in the selected text and So these are set to mixed).

 For further information on typefaces and point sizes see Appendix B,
"Designing Documents With Style".

 step 2

 Click the small arrow on the Size gadget to reveal the pop-up size list.
Drag the mouse pointer down the list and select 18.

 Figure 4-9 Selections Size from a pop-up Gadget

 Click the small arrow on the Typeface pop-up and select "Shannon Book'
from the list. A sample of the font will appear in the white box at the
bottom of the requester. The Colour group lets you set the colours for
text and the background.

 step 3

 Click the small arrow on the gadget titled Text to reveal the pop-up
colour list, then drag the mouse pointer down the list and select Red.

 You will be able to see the text change in the sample box at the bottom
of the requester. Now click OK and the text will change to 18pt size, red.

 4.7 USING THE CLIPBOARD

 Wordworth has a built-in clipboard, with which you can cut and paste
text. This means cut or copy selected text onto the clipboard, and then
paste the text from the clipboard back into your document at another
position.

 step 1

 Double-click the word at the beginning of the document shine to select
it, and choose the Copy command from the Edit menu.

 step 2

 Select movements in the next sentence and click the Paste icon on the
toolbar.

 Shine has now been pasted in replace of movements.

 4.11 PRINTING THE DOCUMENT

 Before printing, it is always a good idea to save your document. You do
this by choosing the Save command from the Project Menu (or press Right
Amiga-S).

 There are 3 different methods to print your documents:

 * Normal.

 * PrinterFont.

 * PostScript.

 Normal: You use this method for printing Agfa Compugraphic fonts, Adobe
PostScript fonts, TrueType fonts, bitmap fonts and graphics. You can also
print in draft.

 Printer Font: This method utilises your printer is internal fonts. It
offers very fast Printing but you cannot use any other fonts or graphics.
You can also print in draft.

 PostScript: You should skip this section. PostScript printing is covered
in its own chapter and is solely for users with advanced PostScript
printers (refer Appendix E-PostScript Printers).

 IMPORTANT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 As soon as you create a new document, you should set the "Print Method"
("Print Setup", Project menu) before typing and text, as the "Print
Method" determines the fonts you can use. If you try to change the "Print
Method" while editing a document you will be warned that the fonts will
have to be changed to match the new "Print Method". If this requester
appears, click Yes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Page 73

 You need to prepare your printer and Wordworth for printing. Before you
can print your first document, you need to take a few preliminary steps.
Once you take these steps, you will not need to repeat them unless you
change the type of printer you use.

 step 1

 Check your printer for the following:

 * That it is properly connected to your Amiga.

 * That paper is loaded.

 * That it is plugged in and turned on.

 * That it is "on-line".

 step 2

 Choose "Print Setup" from the Project menu.

 5.2.1 PLACING PICTURES INTO A DOCUMENT

 The newsletter now needs a picture to attract the eye from all of the
text.

 With the Selection button, click on the document page to place the
insertion point back in the main editing area and choose "Place Picture"
(Object menu). Select Earth.iff from the list gadget and click Place.

 A picture of the earth will now be placed in the top left corner of the

columns, using the mouse. If you move the picture beyond the bottom of the
screen, the page will automatically scroll, so that you can place the
picture anywhere in one drag.

 Once placed, the text disappears beneath the picture. However, the text
should flow around the picture.

it from the rest of the text. Select the Line tool from the Drawing Tools
and draw two horizontal lines either side of the text frame containing the
quote whilst holding down the Ctrl key. The Ctrl key is used to make sure
the lines remain straight, it constrains the line along its horizontal
axis.

 Next, select the Box Tool from the "Drawing Tools" and drag a box around
the whole page. Choose Information (Object menu) and select Transparent
from the "Fill Colour" pop-up. Type 4 into the Thickness gadget and

 6.1 AUTOMATIC FILE SAVING

 Before any editing begins, it's a good idea to set up the Auto Save
feature of Wordworth so that you won't lose any information if you have a
power cut or some other unknown problem occurs.

 Auto Save has three settings:

 Off: No auto save.

 On: Saves the file automatically after a specified delay.

 Reminder: Flashes the screen and displays, in the Status Bar, a message
warning you that it is time to save your document.

 Figure 6-1 'File Settings' requester

 6.3 FINDING AND REPLACING TEXT

 With large documents, the need to replace words with a different one
becomes quite common. In this document you will notice that the name
Galileo Galilei appears in several places.

 Place your insertion point at the beginning of the document and choose
Find (Edit menu), type Galilei in the "Find What" text gadget and press
the Return key.

 Page 88

 Wordworth will stop at the first occurrence of Galilei and will wait for
you to choose either "Find Next", (to move on); or Replace (to replace it
with the contents of the "Replace With" gadget). Click "Find Next" to move
on.

 At the next occurrence, click Replace. Galilei will now be deleted as the
"Replace With" gadget is empty. Click "Replace All" to delete all further
occurrences of the word Galilei.


@node 6.4
 6.4 PAGINATION

 Halfway down the first page there is a heading for Chapter Two. As it is
a new chapter, it should start at the top of a fresh page. Move to the
beginning of the line starting, "Chapter Two" and select "Page Break" from
the Insert command (Edit menu). This command will force that line to
always start at the top of a fresh page.

 Page 89

 Figure 6-4 Insert - 'Page Break' command

 Page breaks save the need for pressing the Return key many times to reach
the bottom of the page.

 At the bottom of the second page, the last paragraph is split between the
second and third pages. There are two methods to stop this happening:

 * Forcing a page break before the split paragraph

 * Informing the paragraph to keep its lines together over breaks

 Move the insertion point to the split paragraph and choose

 Paragraph (Format menu), select the checkbox "Keep Lines Together" and
click OK.

 Before the document is printed, the paragraph will be forced onto the
next page (alternatively, choose Document command, Format menu, and then
click OK).

 Books very often have page numbers on the bottom of the page and the book
title at the top. Choose Document (Format menu) and select the "Facing
Pages" check box. This will let you set different headers and footers on
odd and even pages, just like a book. Click OK to return to the document.

 Use the vertical scroll bar to move to the top of the first page and
click in the region between the top of the text and the top of the page.
This is the header. With the Selection button click in this area, to place
the insertion point, and choose Paragraph (Format menu). Select Right from

 6.7 BOOKMARKS

 Bookmarks are very useful for large documents, as you can place them at
specific sections in the document (in our case, each Chapter) to aid in
jumping to the right page when editing.

 Place the insertion point at the be g of the line "Chapter One ..." and
select Bookmark from the Insert command (Edit menu). On the requester,

 6.9 INDEXING

 Indexes have always been the book writers bane. With Wordworth's
automatic index generation, it couldn't be simpler.

 Move the insertion point to Earth in the first paragraph and choose
Insert-"Index Entry" (Edit menu).

 Type Planets in the "Main Entry" text gadget, press the Return key, and
then type Earth in the "First Subentry" gadget. Select the  "Include All

 Move the insertion point to Sun in the second chapter and choose Insert-
"Index Entry" (Edit menu). Select Planets from the list gadget and type
Sun into the "First Subentry" text gadget. Select the "Include All Other
Occurrences" check box and click Insert.

 If the index was created, the above entries would appear like this:

 Planets   (main entry)

   Earth   (subentry of planets)

   Sun     (subentry of planets)

 A subentry of Earth, Moon, in the main entry of Planets would be inserted
like this:

 Planets   (main entry)

   Sun     (subentry of Planets)

   Pluto   (subentry of Planets)

   Earth   (subentry of Planets)

     Moon  (second subentry of Earth)

 Now go through the document, inserting index entries for all of the
relevant items you w ant in the index.

                              MAIL MERGING

 This tutorial demonstrates how to create a small database of names and
addresses in Wordworth and then mail merge it with a form letter to
produce a mailshot.

 Page 97

 Page 98


@node 7.1
 7.1 CREATING AN ADDRESS DATABASE

 First, a quick explanation of the terms used in mail merging. Using the
example of a small club:

 * All of the members of the club are in a database,

 * Each members details are stored as records in the database,

 * Each individual item of information (that is surname or initials) for
   a member are fields within the record.

 Now you know the terminology used, let's create the database.

 step 1

 Create a new document by choosing the New command (Project menu). A
small requester appears, containing the available templates. Select
Normal from the list gadget and click OK.

 step 2

 Type the names of the fields forming each record in the database, like
this:

 Surname(tab)   Title(tab)  Address1(tab)  Address2(tab)  Country¶

 Then, the records themselves:

 Galilei(tab)    Mr(tab)  Venus Street(tab)  VENICE(tab)    ITALY¶

 Copernicus(tab) Mr(tab)  Sun Centre(tab)    GDANSK(tab)    POLAND¶

 Each field is separated by a tab character. Each record is separated by
a carriage return. So, press Tab between each field and the Return key at
the end of each line.

 Page 99

 Figure 7-1 Database

 The first line (or record) contains the field names, this is called the
'Header Record'.

 step 3

 Choose "Save As" (Project menu), select "ASCII File" from the list
gadget and click OK. From the Save file requester type MergeDataFile into
the File text gadget, press the Return key and click Save. Floppy disk
users may be asked to insert a disk into one of the drives.

 step 4
 Close the document using the Close command (Project menu). A new
untitled window will appear.

 step 4

 Two copies of the letter will now be printed, one to Mr Galileo and the
second to Mr Copernicus.

 step 102


@node 7.3
 7.3 IMPORTING A THIRD PARTY ADDRESS DATABASE

 With Wordworth, you can merge form letters with databases created with
Digita Mailshot Plus, Superbase, KData or indeed any program that can
export data as an ASCII or DIF (Data interchange Format) file.

 step 1

 Export the database file from your third party database as an ASCII or
DIF file using the appropriate Export command.

 When exporting the file you will need to know two things. Firstly, the
characters used to separate the fields and records, and secondly,
whether the file contains the field names in the first (or Header)
record.

 When exporting the file from Superbase using the DIF format, Wordworth
will automatically recognise the field names as they are saved as Labels
within the file.

 step 2

 If the database file contains field name information in the first record
(or as LABELS) then you will need to use these names when typing the
fields into your document between the « and » characters. If the file
does not contain field name information, you will need to type «FIELD1 »,
«FIELD2», «FIELD3» and so on, to take the place of the field names.

 step 3

 From the "Mail Merge" requester, select the format of the database file
using the Format pop-up gadget, and select the "File Includes Header
Record" check box if necessary.

 Page 103

 Figure 7-3 'Mail Merge' file requester with Format pop-up

 If you exported the file from a database that is not known by Wordworth,
you can select the characters used to separate the fields and records by
using the pop-up text gadgets for ASCII

 Field and Record Separators or by typing the ASCII value into the
gadget.

 To merge the file with the form letter, click Print and then click Print
again.

 Move the pointer onto the page. Press down and hold the Selection button
while you drag the pointer down and to the left of its original position.
As you do so, you will notice a box outline appears on the page.

 Drag the box outward to the size you want and then release the Selection
button to draw the shape on the page.

@node 8.4.2
 8-4-2 RE-SIZING

 Select the box you drew before by clicking once on it. Notice four solid
squares appear over each corner of the box. These squares are called
handles and are used for sizing the shape.

 Move the mouse pointer over the bottom-left handle and you will see the
mouse pointer change into a double arrow. Now, hold down the Selection
button and drag the mouse pointer to the new size of the box.

 Figure 8-8 Re-sizing a shape

 Page 116

 When creating a new shape, you can constrain the size by
 holding down the Ctrl key as you drag the mouse:

 SHAPE    DRAGGING + CTRL KEY

 Line     Constrains to horizontal or vertical line

 Box      Constrains to a square

 Oval     Constrains to a circle


@node 8.4.3
 8.4.3 MOVING

 There are two ways to move a shape around the page: With the Arrow
pointer and with an information requester.

 Moving With The Arrow Pointer

 To move the box with the mouse, click the Selection button anywhere on
the shape to select it-you should notice that four handles appear on each
corner, this shows that the shape is selected.

 With the pointer still over the box, hold down the Selection button and
drag the outline of the shape to its new position. You can drag the shape
onto a different page by just moving the pointer off the edge of the page.
As you do this, the page scrolls automatically until you move the pointer
back onto the page. The closer the pointer is to the bottom of the page,
the slower the document will scroll and vice versa.

 Figure 8-9 Moving a shape

 Page 117

 If you are in the middle of creating, sizing or moving a shape and you
wish to cancel the operation, press the Menu mouse button while you still
have the Selection button depressed.

 Depress the Ctrl key (whilst moving an object) to constrain an object
along the horizontal or vertical axis.

 Moving With The Information Requester

 Choose "Create Object' (Object menu) and select Line. Click on the page
and drag out a line of about 2 inches. Select the Line by clicking it) and
choose the Information command (Object menu).

 The "Line Information" requester has two groups of text gadgets titled
Start and End. The start is the place where you first clicked on the page
before dragging the pointer and the end is where you released the
Selection button to create the line. Type the following:

 Start-"From Left": 2

 Start-"From Top": 1.5

 End-"From Left": 4

 End-"From Top": 3

 When you type a new figure into a gadget (and press the Return key), the
information updates the screen instantly. As you typed new position
figures, you may have seen the line move. Experiment further, and remember
the "Line Information" requester is modeless, which means you can leave it
on the screen as long as you like. You can move it out the way by dragging
the "Window Title Bar", or minimise it by clicking the "Window Zoom"
gadget.


@node 8.4.4
 8.4.4 CHANGING THE WAY SHAPES LOOK

 There are several ways you can control the look of shapes, including
position, size, fill colour, colour, border style and thickness.

 Create a line on the page and choose the Information command (Object
menu). Click on the Style pop-up gadget in the Start group and you will
see a list of endings for the line. Select Splat.

 Select "8 pt" from the Thickness pop-up text gadget, and select Red from
the Colour pop-up.

 Page 118

 Figure 8-10 'Line Information' requester

 The last attribute of a line is its "Line Style", set this to "Long Dash
Dot".


@node 8.4.5
 8.4.5 DELETING A SHAPE

 To delete the shape, select it with the Selection button and either press
the Del key, or choose Erase (Edit menu).


@node 8.4.6
 8.4.6 GROUPING SHAPES TOGETHER

 Sometimes it is convenient to link several shapes together so that they
move as one. For example, if you created the shape of a face using two
circles, one box and a line, you would probably want to move or re-size
the individual shapes as one. This is achieved with the Group command.

 Create a simple face on the page using two circles, a box and a line.
Select all of the shapes by dragging the Arrow pointer around them,
ensuring the dotted line touches (and therefore selects) each individual
shape. Release the Selection button and each shape will appear selected.

 Page 119

 Figure 8-11 Grouping objects

 Now choose Group from the Object menu. Four group handles will replace
the handles on each individual shape. This means the group can be re-sized
or moved like one item. Choose Information (Object menu) and notice that
the information settings are now global, for the entire group.

 You can ungroup the group by selecting it and choose Ungroup (Object
menu).


@node 8.4.7
 8.4.7 SHAPE DEPTH ARRANGEMENT

 As you create shapes on the page, you can see that some overlap and block
your view of other shapes. The blocked shape has not been erased, it is
just obscured by the other.

 Wordworth 3 arranges shapes in the order of creation, with the most
recently created shape on top. Follow these steps to discover how to
change the depth arrangement of your shapes:

 step 1

 Choose "Create Object" (Object menu) and draw a box on the page. Then,
create a circle overlapping the box and a line overlapping both the circle
and box.

 Page 120

 step 2

 Select the line and choose "Move Backward" (Object menu). You will see
that the line has moved behind the circle but remains in front of the box.

 Figure 8-12 Arranging the depths of shapes

 Choose "Move Backward" (Object menu) again and the line
 moves behind the box.

 step 3

 With the line still selected, choose 'Bring To Front"' (Object menu) and
it is brought right to the front of all the objects that were obscuring
it.


@node 8.4.8
 8.4.8 LOCKING SHAPES

 A shape can also be locked to the page to prevent anyone moving or re-
sizing it.

 step 1

 Select the box that you drew previously and choose Lock (Object menu).
When a shape is locked, its black handles change to hollow squares.

 step 2

 If you now try to move the pointer over the top of this box, the pointer
will turn into a padlock denoting that the shape is locked. If you try to
move the object, the screen will flash.

 Page 121

 Figure 8-13 Locked object

 step 3

 Select the locked box and choose Unlock (Object Menu) to unlock the shape
and allow you to change its size or position.


@node 8.4.9
 8.4.9 SPECIAL FEATURES

 There are other things you can do with shapes:

 DUPLICATE

 It's easy to create identical objects. Select the line that is on the
page and choose Duplicate (Object menu). A copy of the line appears
slightly offset from the original.

 ADD TO ALL PAGES

 Any shape, or group of shapes, can be easily added to the other pages in
your document. Select the circle shape on your page and choose "Add To All
Pages" (Object menu). Any further pages you create will have the circle
positioned in the same place as the original.

 However, if you are using "Facing Pages", an object will only be added to
all of the left or all or the right pages in a document.

 Page 122

 Figure 8-14 Object added to all pages

 Select the circle shape that is on all your other pages and drag it
around the page. You will notice that the same object on all other pages
was also moved. Press the Del key to delete the object. A small requester
will appear asking if you wish to delete just the selected shape or all of
the shapes. Click the "All Pages" button.

 Page 123


@node 8.5
                            8.5 DRAWING TOOLS

 Frames are very similar to shapes. As Both a shape and a frame is an
object, any of the commands on the Object menu can apply to either.

 In addition, moving or sizing a frame using the mouse is the same as for
a shape.


@node 8.5.1
 8.5.1 TEXT FRAME

 A text frame is like a container, which can be moved about (or dragged),
anywhere on the page. This container can hold any amount of text and is
independent from the text on your page.

 Any of the available tools when editing a normal document (text styles,
character format, paragraph format and columns for example), can be used
in a text frame. Think of a text frame as an free-floating independent
miniature page within your document.

 step 1

 Choose "Create Object" command (Object menu) and from the list gadget,
select "Text Frame".

 You can move the "Create Object" requester out of the way by moving the
Arrow pointer to the requester window title bar and, while holding down
the Selection button, move the requester to its new position.

 Page 124

 Figure 8-15 Insertion point in active frame

 Type the following (do not press the Return key until you get
 to the ¶ character):

 The earth is one of nine planets that revolve around the bright star we
call the sun. But the sun, on which we depend for nearly all our energy,
is itself a very insignificant star in the immensity of space.¶

 There are literally millions and millions of stars like our sun scattered
throughout space. We do not even know how many of them have planets
revolving around them because they are too far away.¶

 step 3

 If you click the background page (indeed, anywhere away from the frame)
and then click in the text frame while holding down the Selection button,
you will be able to drag the frame around the document.

 Four small squares appear on each corner of the frame when it is
selected. These squares are called handles, and when the pointer is moved
over the top of one, it changes into a double arrow. This double arrow
denotes a re-sizing operation, which means that if the Selection button is
selected and the mouse is dragged, the size of the frame will change.

 Page 125

 Figure 8-16 Re-sizing a frame

 step 5

 An alternative, and more accurate method of changing the size and
position of a text frame is to change its Position attributes.

 Choose Information command (Object menu). Like the
 "Create Object" requester, the "Text Frame Information" requester can be
moved around and left on the screen whilst you carry on editing the
document.

 Delete the contents of the Width text gadget and type 4.
 Replace the contents of the Height text gadget with 3, change "From Left"
to 2 and "From Top" to 1.

 As you alter each one of these values, the text frame will change its
size and position automatically.

 step 6

 To change the number of columns in the text frame, move the cursor to the
"Number Of" text gadget (Columns group), and type 2. Replace the contents
of Gap with 0.25 and press the Return key, the text frame will
automatically reformat into two columns.

 Page 126

 step 7

 Change the "Border Style" pop-up (Style group) from "Single Line" to
"Double Line". Next, select "4 pt" from the Thickness pop-up text gadget
and change the "border Colour" to "Mid Green".

 Figure 8-17 'Frame Information' pop-up

 As you will have just seen, each time any attribute is changed on an
Information requester the new values are immediately applied to the object
providing instant feedback


@node 8.5.2
  8.5.2 TEXTEFFECTS

 You can use TextEffects to produce simple logos.

 step 1

 Choose "Drawing Tools" command (View menu) and from the floating toolbar
select the TextEffects icon (the Fx icon).

 Draw a square outline on the page and choose Information (Object menu) to
display the "TextEffects Information" requester.

 step 2

 Select Circle from the Type pop-up gadget (Effects group). Then type
Digita international Limited into the Contents text gadget and click
Apply.

 Page 127

 Figure 8-18 TextEffect requester

 You will see that the words Digita International Limited are drawn in a
circle within your frame.

 step 3

 The Word Digita starts at the top of the circle. Rotating the circle is
simple, delete the contents of the "Rotate By" text gadget, type 235 and
press the Return key. Click Apply and you will see the effect rotate.

 step 4

 Now lets make the logo more impressive. Click the Font button and select
Red from the "First Character" (Colour group) pop-up gadget, select Yellow
from the "Last Character" pop-up and then click OK.

 step 5

 Now add some shadow effects. Click the "Shadows" button and type 5 into
the "Number Of Shadows' text gadget. Type 25 into the Size text gadget
("Last Shadow Offset" group), this will make the fifth (and last) shadow
25% smaller than the original.

 Next, select "80% Grey" from the "First Shadow Colour" pop-up gadget and
"20% Grey' from the "Last Shadow Colour" pop-up.

 Page 128

 In the "Last Shadow" group type 2.5 into the "Distance Across" gadget.
Click OK and you should see the changes take place after a few moments
intensive Amiga calculation.

@node 8.5.3
 8.5.3 TABLES AND CALCULATIONS

 With tables, you can arrange columns of numbers and text in a document
without the need for using tabs. Tables also provide a convenient way to
present the text in side-by-side paragraphs, as in a script for a play.

 A table is a grid of Rows and Columns marked by Gridlines. Each small box
in the table is called a Cell and the gridlines will not be printed unless
specifically requested.

 step 1

 To create a table on your page, choose "Create Object" command (Object
menu) and select Table from the list. With the Selection button, drag a
box 1 inch wide x 2 inches high.

 A grid, one across by about four down should have been created. If you
did not get enough cells created then drag out the table using the table
handles to automatically create new rows or columns.

 Page 129

 step 2

 Move the Arrow pointer over the bottom right handle and drag the table
outline out to create more cells. A table of six rows by two columns is
needed.

 Figure 8-20 Re-sizing a table to create more rows and columns

 step 3

 Move the pointer to the gridline separating the first and second columns
and the Arrow pointer will change to a two-way pointer. Select the
gridline with the Arrow pointer and it becomes dotted. Move it to the
right about one half of an inch.

 When the Selection button is released, the gridline moves, therefore
increasing the width of the first column and moving the second column
over.

 Page 130

 Figure 8-21 Increasing the width of a column

 If the second column disappears, just drag out the width of the table
using the tables handles to bring it back into view (rows and columns are
never deleted, they are just moved out of view so re-sizing the table will
bring the previously hidden cells back).

 step 4

 Place the insertion point in the first cell by moving the Arrow pointer
over it and clicking with the Selection button.

 Type Country and press the Tab key to move into the cell on the right.
Type Time and then press Tab again to move your insertion point to the
beginning of the next row.

 Using this process of 'type then tab' to move between cells, type the
following information:

 London(tab)       GMT(tab)

 Los Angeles(tab)  0400(tab)

 Madrid(tab)       1300(tab)

 Mexico City(tab)  0600(tab)

 Montreal(tab)     0700(tab)

 If you press Tab once too many and move into the wrong cell, press Shift-
Tab to go back to the previous cell.

 Page 131

 step 5

 Now there is a table with data in it, the cells need to be formatted.
Move the insertion point to the first cell (containing Country), by
clicking the Selection button in it and choose "Select All" command (Edit
menu).

 Choose Font (Format menu), select "Bright Blue" from the Text pop-up
gadget (Colour group) and select the Bold check box. Click OK and the
selected text in the cell will change to the new style.

 Choose Paragraph (Format menu) and select Centre from the

 Justification pop-up gadget. Repeat the same process with the cell to the
right containing the word Time.

 step 6

 Move the insertion point to the cell which contains "Mexico City" and
choose Tables (Format menu). From this requester you can insert or delete
rows or columns.

 Figure 8-22 Tables requester

 Select the "Insert After" radio button, ensure that the Row radio button
is selected and click OK. The row containing Montreal will be moved off
the table as a new row below "Mexico City" has been added.

 Page 132

 step 7

 Now move the insertion point to the blank row and choose Tables (Format
menu). Select Delete and Row from the radio buttons, type 2 into the "How
Many" text gadget and then click Ok. The blank row and the row containing
Montreal have been deleted, and a new blank row has appeared after "Mexico
City".

 When inserting and deleting columns, Before means 'to the left of the
current column' and After means 'to the right of the current column'.

 step 8

 With the insertion point in the last empty cell, choose Calculate (Tools
menu). Select Average and "Cells Above" radio buttons to produce an
average of all the cells above the insertion point (that is, all of the
Times).

 Figure 8-23 Calculating cells

 Click OK and the result is placed in the cell which contains the
insertion point.

@node 9.1
                   9.1 GETTING PERSONAL WITH WORDWORTH

 With Wordworth 3 you can customise your working environment to best suit
the way you work:

 * Choose the fonts used in the requesters and screen.

 * Choose the commands in the toolbar, their size and the position.

 * Choose the screen mode and screen colours.

 * Show or hide guides on the page.

 * Optimise Wordworth to use less memory and work faster.

 This tutorial shows you how to customise Wordworth for the way you wish
to work.


@node 9.1.1
 9.1.1 REQUESTER FONTS

 There are two fonts used in the requesters. These are the gadget labels
(which are the names given to each gadget); and the gadget group headings
(which are the label headings for a group of gadgets).

 step 1

 Choose "Change Settings" command (Settings menu) and select Screen from
the list gadget. On the bottom of the "Screen Settings" requester there is
a group titled Fonts. From this requester you can specify the fonts that
Wordworth uses.

 Click the "Select" button to the right of the "Requester Headings" read-
only gadget, and from the font requester that appears, choose one of the
fonts from the list.

 Click OK and you will be returned to the "Screen Settings" requester
where the name of the font you have chosen now appears in the read-only
gadget.

 Follow the same procedure for the "Requester Gadgets" option.

 Page 137

 Figure 9-1 Selecting required fonts

 step 2

 Select the "Screen Blanker" check box gadget and type 5 into the Delay
text gadget. This will tell Wordworth that after a delay of 5 minutes, the
screen is to be blanked. Blanking a screen is used to prevent 'burn-in' of
a stationary image on your monitor if unattended for a period of time.
Click OK and your changes will take affect.


@node 9.1.2
 9.1.2 SCREEN COLOURS

 The eight colours that Wordworth uses for its screen display can also be
changed. These colours are used for the icons, window and page display.

 step 1

 From the "Change Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings
menu) select "Screen Colours" from the list gadget.

 Click one of the eight colour boxes to select it (the colour selected
appears on the far left of the others), and slide the Red, Green and Blue
sliders to give the colour of your choice.

 step 2

 Do this for any of the eight colours that you wish to change and click OK
to make the changes take effect.

 Page 138


@node 9.1.3
 9.1.3 TOOLBAR

 You can also customise the Wordworth toolbar in several ways:

 * The commands (icons) displayed in the toolbar.

 * The size of the icons.

 * The position of the toolbar on the screen.

 step 1

 From the "Change Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings
menu) select Toolbar from the list gadget.

 Figure 9-2 Toolbar requester

 The Commands list gadget on the left of the requester contains a list of
all the commands that can be placed on the toolbar. The Toolbar list on
the right shows the commands currently chosen for display in the toolbar.

 Move down the Commands list using the scroll arrows and select the
Librarian command. Click the » button, and the selected command will
appear at the bottom of the Toolbar list.

 Next, click the "Move Up" button to move the command up the list to the
place where you wish it to appear on your toolbar.

 Page 139

 step 2

 Select the Cut command from the Toolbar list and click the « button to
remove it from the toolbar. Click the Apply button and your toolbar will
be updated with the changes.

 step 3

 From the Position pop-up list gadget, select Floating. This means that
your toolbar will appear in an independent "floating" window which can be
moved around the screen like any other window.

 Figure 9-3 Moving the floating toolbar

 Now, select the "Large Icons" checkbox gadget and click Apply. When you
are satisfied with your changes, click OK

 9.1.4 GUIDES AND RULERS

 You can specify whether the page guides are displayed or not using "Show
Guides" (View menu). The Ruler tools are toggled on/off using the Rulers
command (View menu).

 step 1

 Choose "Change Settings"' (Settings menu) and select View
 from the list gadget to display the "View Settings" requester.
 Select the "Print Borders" check box gadget to display the
 print border margin around the edge of each page.

 Page 140

 step 2

 From the Rulers group, deselect the "Vertical Ruler" check box gadget and
deselect the "Status Bar" check box. Click OK and the window display will
change to show print borders, turn off the status bar and vertical ruler

 Figure 9-4 Selecting guides

 step 3

 Choose Rulers (View menu) and all the items that were selected in the
Rulers group of the "View Settings' requester will be turned off. Choosing
the Rulers command again will turn the ruler display back on.

@node 9.2
                    9.2 GETTING WORDWORTH TO GO FASTER

 Wordworth can be optimised in many ways to both speed up display and save
precious memory.

 Use the Workbench-"Close Workbench' command (Settings menu) to save about
40K of memory. This will shut down the Workbench desktop that usually
remains open behind the Wordworth screen.

 Choose "Change Settings" (Settings menu) and from the list gadget, select
Screen. Click the "Screen Mode, button and from the "Screen Mode'
requester decrease the Colours slider from 8 to 4 by clicking to the left
of the small black box once. Click OK and the display will appear in 4
colours which saves memory and improves speeds.

 Turn off "Ruler Tools, and "Vertical Ruler" from the "View Settings"
requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu) will improve the
editing speed of documents.

 Select the "Use Less Memory" check box in the "Screen Settings" requester
("Change Settings" command, Settings menu). This will save a lot of
memory by making the windows used in Wordworth" simple refresh, instead of
'smart refresh'.

 A "simple refresh" window is updated (redrawn) by Wordworth instead of
the operating system and therefore will be more memory efficient. However,
doing this will make the redrawing of the windows slower.

                            WORDWORTH UPGRADES

 This chapter is for users of earlier versions of Wordworth. It will tell
you what's changed without going over features you'll already know.

 Page 144


@node 10.1
                  10.1 WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT WORDWORTH 3

 Many of the changes in Wordworth 3 have resulted from Usability analysis
(discovery of faults in interface and so on), requests by users ( through
our regular questionnaires), and through the introduction of "Interface
Guidelines" by Commodore.


@node 10.1.1
 10.1.1 REQUESTERS

 The most instantly noticeable change in Wordworth 3 are the requesters.
Wordworth now uses Workbench standard windows and gadgets for all of its
requesters.

 This means that, like other Workbench windows, you can minimize them
using the "Window Zoom" gadget, you can move them around the screen using
the "Window Drag (Title) Bar" and you can send them to the back or bring
them in front of any other window with the "Window Depth Gadget".

 You can even customise the fonts used in the windows. From the "Screen
Setting" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu), you can set
the fonts for gadget labels, group headings, and window title bars (the
same as those used in the menus).

 Some requesters, like Find, - Insert and Object Information, can remain
on the screen whilst you carry on editing the document. Requesters like
these are termed 'Modeless' and are a relatively new idea in Amiga
software.

 Figure 10-1 Modeless requester

 Page 145


@node 10.1.2
 10.1.2 CUSTOMISATION

 Wordworth 3 is highly customisable. Unlike previous versions, you can
decide what commands you want on the toolbar, what size you Would like the
icons and where on the screen you would like it positioned. Refer Toolbar-
"Change Settings" command (Settings menu).


@node 10.1.3
 10.1.3 KEYBOARD

 The keyboard modifier keys have changed to incorporate the guidelines
laid down by Commodore. The keys and their functions are now.

 KEY                DOES

 Shift-Arrow key    Selects text

 Ctrl-Arrow key     Moves to beginning/end of line/document

 Alt-Arrow key      Moves to beginning/end of word/page

 The new modifier keys are now the default. However, if you prefer to use
the keys you used in the previous version of Wordworth, choose Text-
"Change Settings" command (Settings menu) and select the radio button "Old
Wordworth Modifier Keys".


 IMPORTANT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 It is a good idea to start adopting the new keyboard commands as these
will be the only standard supported in future versions of Wordworth and
other Digita software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


@node 10.1.4
 10-1-4 MENUS

 The menu structure and keyboard shortcuts have been changed to follow the
Commodore guidelines as much as possible. This is to make it easier for
you to use Wordworth, as it provides a familiar interface to that of other
programs following the guidelines.


@node 10.1.5
 10.1.5 OUTLINE FONTS

 The Agfa font technology in Wordworth 3 is slightly different than
before, to incorporate the new font support and also make it easier for
floppy disk users to use fonts across separate disks.

 If you want to use the fonts that you already have, tell the
InstallOutlines program to look in a different place for the fonts (Floppy
Disk Users: WwTools drawer, Ww3 Extras disk. Hard Disk Users:WwTools
drawer, Wordworth3).

 Page 146

 For example, if you have Wordworth V2AGA in an Apps drawer on your hard
disk Work, you will need to tell the installer the path to the Intellifont
drawer. Click the InstallOutlines program with the Selection button and
choose information (Workbench-Icons menu).

 Click the tooltype starting FONTPATH=... and delete the brackets. Replace
the text following the equals sign with the path to your Intellifont
drawer.

 In this example, the path would be FONTPATH = Work:Apps/
 Wordworth2/Intellifont (with no spaces).

 Press the Return key and click Save.

 When you double-click the lnstallOutlines program, the fonts in your
Wordworth v2 Intellifont drawer will be installed for use with Wordworth
3.

 The InstallOutlines program will create small files called .font and
.otag for each of the fonts installed and place them in the WwFonts/UFST
drawer. These small files contain the location of the font so that
Wordworth knows where to look for them.

 This means that you can have fonts scattered around your hard disk or on
several floppy disks by just re-running InstallOutlines with the tooltype
appropriately changed. You can also use the same procedure to tell
Wordworth where to look for the PostScript and TrueType fonts.

 Figure 11-6 Print requester

 Range

 All: Prints all pages in document.

 Pages: If selected, you can then type a page range into the adjacent text
gadget. Type a single page number, or for a range of pages, type two
numbers separated by a hyphen (for example, 2-6, prints pages 2, 3, 4, 5,
6).

 Copies: Type the number of copies for each page.

 Options

 Print: Select "Odd And Even Pages", "Odd Pages Only",  "Even Pages Only".
This is useful if using single (cut) sheet which are to be printed on both
sides. Print all the odd pages first, then turn the paper over, to print
all the even pages in reverse order on the other side.

 Page 158

 Shade: Select the print shading method, depending on your

 printer

 SHADE              DOES

 Black And White    Prints fonts and graphics as either solid black or
                    white

 Colour             Prints colours if you have a colour printer

 Grey Scale 1       One style of grey scaling to represent the colours
                    used on the screen

 Grey Scale 2       One style of grey scaling to represent the colours
                    used on the screen (used for CBM A2O24 monitors only)

 Draft Printout: Prints the document in the quickest possible method which
is ideal for printing proofs.

 Collate Copies: Determines the method of printing multiple copies of a
document. For example, if you wanted to print 10 copies of a five-page
document, selecting Collate will print from page one to page five l0
times, whereas if Collate is not selected it will print l0 copies of page
one, then l0 copies of page two, and so on.

 Reverse Order: Prints pages from the highest page number to the lowest.
This is for printers which stack cut sheets automatically while printing
(for example, laser printers), so that on completion the lowest page
number will be on the top of the stack.

 AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRINT REQUESTER ARE THREE BUTTONS

 Print: Prints using the settings in the "Print Setup" requester.

 Setup: Selects the "Print Setup" requester (see "Print Setup" command,
Project menu).

 Cancel: Cancels this requester.

@node 11.1.8
 11.1.8 PRINT SETUP

 Choose "Print Setup" command (Project menu) or Right Amiga-Shift-P.

 Shows a requester from which you can setup your printer:

 Figure 11-7 'Print Setup' requester

 Use the list box "Printer Driver" to select the printer driver required.
(The Generic driver will only print text. Formatting of text and graphics
are discarded. )

 Density: Sets the printer resolution for printing. Set the density from 1
(lowest density), which is ideal for a quick draft print, to 7 (highest
density).

 At higher densities, more dots are used to create the image which gives a
better quality reproduction, but takes much longer to print. When printing
a colour graphic you may need to set the density quite low as the colours
can become muddy on higher densities (refer Appendix C-Pictures And Clip
Art").

 PRINT BORDERS

 Some printers have a border around the page edge which is unprintable
(this is common with most printers, there is always an unprintable area
around the page because it is used by the printer rollers to pull the
paper through). However, if you are using "Paper Type"-Continuous, it is
not necessary to set a print border.

 Page 160

 The four edit gadgets (Left, Right, Top Bottom) are for specifying this
unprintable area. For example, if you use a Citizen Swift printer, you
may need to set Left and Right to 0.25 inches, Top to 0.5 and Bottom to
0.75 inches-this stops the page being ejected before printing the footer.
If you experience problems like this with printing, consult your printer
manual for more information about the unprintable area so that you can
set your own "Print Border".

 PRINT METHOD

 When you set the print method (the default is Normal), Wordworth only
lets you use fonts which are compatible with the setting (this prevents
the accidental mixing of incompatible fonts).

 PRINT METHOD     FONTS YOU CAN USE

 Normal           Agfa Compugraphic, Adobe PostScript, TrueType and
                  bitmap (with graphics or pictures).

 Printer Font     Internal printer fonts (no graphics or pictures).


 PostScript       Only for use with expensive PostScript laser printers.
                  Uses the internal fonts of a Type 1 PostScript printer
                  (with graphics or pictures). Text not typed using
                  PostScript fonts will be printed in Courier, with
                  coloured text printed in grey. (Refer Appendix E-
                  PostScript Printers.)

 If you change the print method while editing a document, an alert box
will warn you that there are incompatible fonts in the document. If this
happens, click Yes and the fonts in the document will be automatically
converted into the correct format.

 PAPER TYPE

 Continuous: Prints pages on continuous stationery, without pausing, and
ignores "Print Border" settings.

 Cut Sheet: Pauses printing at the end of each page. If necessary, an
alert box will prompt you to insert the paper for each page, Uses "Print
Border" settings. If you have a 24-pin printer, you may find that only 16
of the 24 pins are used for printing.

 Page 161

 Sheet Feeder: Prints single sheets without pausing, and uses "Print
Border" settings. Select this option if you are using a laser printer or
the printer is fitted with an automatic cut-sheet feeder.

 AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRINT SETUP REQUESTER ARE THREE BUTTONS

 OK: Confirms the settings made in the requester.

 PostScript: Selects the "PostScript Setup" requester if you have set the
"Print Method" to PostScript (refer Appendix E-PostScript Printers for
information about PostScript).

 Cancel: Cancels the settings made in the requester.

 Lists are created by marking the words or entries that you want. Then,
use the "Create List' Command (Tools menu) to Compile all of the marked
entries into a list at the insertion point.

 The Wordworth List command is useful for creating lists of diagrams,
figures or table of contents.

 MARKING LIST ENTRIES

 First insert list entries in the document (for example, Chapter One -
Space, 1.1 The Great Astronomers). You can do this in two ways:

 * Place the insertion point at the desired place.

 * Block select the desired text in the document.

 step 1

 Select "List Entry" (Insert command, Edit menu), or press Left-Alt F7.

 Figure 11-12 'Insert List Entry' requester

 The Lists box at the top of the requester shows lists that have already
been defined in the document. Either click the list name (for example,
Table of Contents) to which the entry should be added, or type a new name
into the Name text gadget to create a new list.

 Page 171

 step 2

 Type the name of the entry into the gadget titled Text (for example,
Chapter One). Then click insert.

 The list entry is inserted into the document, marked by a special
character code in front of the entry. (This character can be viewed by
choosing "Show Codes" command, View menu). The list entry character may be
deleted like any other to delete the entry from the list.

 When inserting list entries, up to seven sublevel may also be specified,
(for example, Chapter One - Space would be level 1,1.1 The Great
Astronomers would be level 2, and so on).

 If you wish to make another entry at the same level as one already
present in the list, select it from the "List Entries" gadget. This makes
it easier to insert entries at the current level, if you forget which
level your entry should be inserted.


@node 11.2.10.10
 11.2.10.10 Insert Index Entry (or press Left Alt-F8)

 An index is created by marking the words or entries that you want. You
then use the "Create Index" command (Tools menu) which compiles all of the
entries into an index at the end of a document (preceded by a page break).

 MARKING INDEX ENTRIES

 First you should mark index entries in the document. There are two ways
to do this:

 * Place the insertion point at the desired place.

 * Block select the desired text in the document.

 Either select "Index Entry" (Insert command, Edit menu) and type the
name of the index entry in the "Main Entry" text box (for example, Space),
or block select the index entry in the document and then select "Index
Entry" (Insert command,

 Edit menu). Click Insert to insert the index entry at the insertion
point in the document.

 The index entry will be marked in the document by a special character.
This character can be viewed by choosing "Show Codes" command (View menu)
and can be deleted like any other, to delete the entry from the index.

 Index entries may be designated as "Main Entries" or Subentries.

 Page 172

 For example, Astronomers and Planets Would be subentries of the main
entry, Space. To add the word Astronomers as a subentry in the index, type
Space in the "Main Entry" text gadget and then type Astronomers into
"First Subentry".

 Figure 11-13 'Insert Index Entry' requester

 To add Planets as another subentry of Space, select Space from the list
and then type Planets into the "First Subentry' text gadget.

 When the index is created, the subentries are displayed under their Main
entry heading. In the previous example the index would appear like this:

    Space
       Astronomers  23
       Planets      15

 If you want to index all the occurrences of a particular word throughout
the document, just insert one index entry and select the "Include All
Other Occurrences" check box (you can exclude specific occurrences by
selecting the "Exclude This Occurrence" check box).

 Page 173

 For example, if you have Galileo four times in a document (pages 1, 4, 7
and 12), insert an index entry at the first occurrence (page 1 ), and
select "Include All Other Occurrences". To exclude the occurrence on page
7, select Galileo on page 7, and insert an index entry with "Exclude This
Occurrence" selected.

 The "Insert index entry" requester shows all the index entries currently
inserted. Subentries are displayed beneath their main entries.

 You can add a second level of subentry to Space, as a subentry of
Astronomers. To do this, click Astronomers (the Main and "First Subentry"
text gadgets are automatically filled with the correct titles, in this
example Space and Astronomers), and type Aristotle in the "Second
Subentry" text gadget.

 11.2.10.11 Endnote (or press Left Alt-F6)

 This places an automatically numbered note number at the insertion point,
after which the insertion point will move to the endnote section at the
end of the document.

 Choose Endnote (Insert command, Edit menu) to insert an endnote at the
end of the document. Type the endnote and then press Alt-Esc to return to
your original place in the document.

 Choose Paragraph command (Format menu), or press Right Amiga-M.

 Figure 11-18 Paragraph requester

 This displays paragraph formatting commands which relate to a current
paragraph (the position of the insertion point). If consecutive paragraphs
need formatting select from anywhere in the first paragraph to anywhere in
the last paragraph.

 A paragraph is recognised as being from the character immediately
following a return character up to and including the next return
character. The return character is typed by pressing the Return key.

 SPACING

 Before: Sets the amount of space before a paragraph. Select Auto or type
a custom size (in points).

 After: Sets the amount of space after a paragraph. Select Auto Or type a
custom size (in points).

 Page 182

 Line Height: Sets the height of the line.

 SETTING DOES

 Auto    Automatically proportionally to the current type size, giving
         line space equal to the type size).

 Loose   Provides extra space to accommodate for accents
         on foreign characters.

 6 LPI   Use with printer fonts. Line spacing equal to a pica typewriter's
         single line spacing. LPI (lines per inch) is the most common
         method used to measure line spacing on typewriters and word
         processors. Six lines per inch is often referred to as pica and
         is equivalent to 12 point line spacing.

 8 LPI   Use with printer fonts. Line spacing equal to an elite
         typewriter's single line spacing. Eight lines per inch is often
         referred to as elite.

 Custom  Type a specific value in points.

 IMPORTANT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 When using the "Print Method-Printer Font", make sure that the line
spacing is set to 6 lpi or 8 lpi, paragraph spacing 0 and single line
spacing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Line Spacing: Single (proportional to the current type size),

 Double (proportional to the current type size, but giving line space
equal to twice the type size), 1½ (proportional to the current type size,
but giving line space equal to one-and-one-half the type size).

 INDENTATION

 Left: Indent (set in) from the left margin.

 First Line: Indent the first line from the left indent.

 The indent can be set to a negative value provided the Left is equal to
or greater than the negative "First Line".

 For example, in this paragraph, the Left indent is set to 2 cm and "First
              Line" to -2 cm, the first line is set to the left margin and
              successive lines are indented by 2 cm. This is called a
              'hanging indent'.

 Right: Indent from the right margin.

 Justification:

 JUSTIFY DOES

 Left      Aligned to left indent, but remain ragged on right side

 Right     Aligned to right indent, but remain ragged on left side

 Centred   Centred within indents, ragged on both left and right sides

 Full      Aligned to both left and right indents by placing extra
           discretional spaces between words ensuring each line length is
           identical. Sometimes, with short line length and several long
           words, the word spacing may become too large. If this happens,
           select "Allow Hyphenation" to reduce the word Spacing

 Keep Lines Together: Forces all paragraphs that are broken by a column or
page break, onto the next page or column, keeping the whole paragraph
together (a basic form of "widows and orphans").

when the Hyphenation command (Settings menu) is selected.


@node 11.4.3
 11.4.3 TABS

 Choose Tabs command (Format menu).

 As tabs are paragraph related, it is not necessary to select the whole
paragraph but just place the insertion point anywhere within the
paragraph.

 If the tabs are to be applied to consecutive paragraphs, select from
anywhere in the first paragraph to anywhere in the last paragraph. To
select the entire document, choose "Select All" command (Settings menu).

 A paragraph is recognised as a block of text from the character
immediately following a return character up to and including the next
return character (the return character is generated by pressing the Return
key). Often tabulised text can be a series of single lines each ending
with a return character and so each line is considered to be a paragraph.

 Page 184

 Figure 11-19 Tabs requester

 There are four tab styles: Left, Right, Centred and Decimal.

 Left aligning     Text starts at tab position and flows right.

 Right aligning    Text starts at tab position and flows left. The right-
                   most character will always be at the tab position,
                   preceding text coming from the left. If the space
                   between the tab character and the actual tab position
                   is filled by text, then any extra text typed in will
                   start to flow to the right of the tab.

 Centre aligning   Text starts at tab position and flows equally to the
                   left and right, leaving the text centred around the tab
                   position.

 Decimal aligning  Used for columns of figures which include decimal
                   points (for example, 2.4, 567.1, 45.843). Figures will
                   align so that the decimal points automatically align
                   one above the other. The character used as the decimal
                   point may be set from the "Text Settings" requester
                   ("Change Settings" command, Settings menu).

 Page 185

 To place a tab at a required position on the ruler, first Click New and
use the radio buttons to select the tab style you want. Type the position
of the tab in the Position text gadget and press the Return key. The tab
will appear in the "Defined Tabs" list.

 Tabs can be deleted from the list by selecting the tab and clicking
Delete. To edit a tab, select it from the list and change its style or
position using the appropriate gadgets.

 Default Tabs: This sets the spacing interval of the default tabs (left
justified style) from the zero position on the ruler. They are shown on
the ruler as short horizontal lines. The default tab interval (for
example, 1 inch, 3 cms), is based on the measurement, which is selected
from the "View Settings" requester ("Change Settings" command, Settings
menu).

 Fill Character: This sets the padding character for all tabs in the
paragraph(s). You can use spaces, or any other characters like dashes or
dots.

 The tab settings will then appear on the horizontal ruler between the top
of the document and ruler calibration.

APPENDIX A-GETTING TECHNICAL SUPPORT


 Before contacting technical support, check Appendix I-Troubleshooting,
check For a READ.ME document on the Ww3InstaII-1 disk, and inspect the
Troubleshooting part of the on-line Help.

 Although every effort has been made to make Wordworth as easy to use as
possible, with SO many different configurations of Amiga hardware,
software, and peripherals, and new products appearing monthly, there may
be important information in the READ.ME document which affects you.

 You would be amazed at some of the letters we receive. For example:

 Dear Digita.

 I recently purchased Wordworth for my computer and am very pleased with
it. When printing an extra blank page is used.

 This is very annoying.

 Yours sincerely.


 This letter fails to fully describe the problem, which means we can't
help you. If you need to write to us, follow this example:

 Dear Digita,

 I recently purchased Wordworth for mu Amiga, my licence number is
9826364.

 My computer system comprises an Amiga A1200, with a 4mb expansion, second
disk drive and a Hewlet Packard Deskjet 500 Plus printer. I am using
version 3 of workbench and Wordworth 3.

 When printing a document, after each page printed an extra blank sheet is
fed through the printer. I have enclosed a sample of the document on disk
together with a sample print out.

 I hope the above will be sufficient for you to find a solution, if You
require any further information my day time number is 0395 270273.

 Yours sincerely

 Page 241

 It also helps to give a clear explanation. Offending document was
provided on disk, with a printed copy, which gives us a clear
understanding of the problem. A day time number was provided, which means,
in exceptional circumstances, we can telephone if we need Further
information, or the solution could be explained better verbally.

 It would really help us to help you if you could follow these steps if
you need to contact us for help:

 WHEN TELEPHONING

 Telephone support is available to registered users from 11 AM until 5PM.
Simply call 0*91 61 6 944. Calls are charged at 36p per minute cheap rate
and 48p per minute at all other tines. Be sure to ask permission of the
telephone owner before calling.

 1. Have the following information available:

 * Wordworth license number (you won't get support without it).

 * Amiga system (model, amount of memory, and so on).

 * Workbench version.

 * Wordworth version (refer About command, Project menu).

 2. Have your Amiga near the telephone and make sure you are able to
reproduce the problem.

 Page 242


@node a2
 WHEN WRITING

 1. As above.

 2. Give as much information as possible. Explain the fault in detail,
don't rely on us remembering the telephone conversation.

 3. Enclose a Copy of the document that is giving problems, together with
a Copy of the WordworthPrefs file on disk. This file is found on your
WordWorth3 disk (or in your Wordworth3 drawer on your hard disk) and
should be dragged onto the floppy disk icon you are sending us. If it's a
printer problem, enclose printouts.

 4. Check your disks for viruses before sending them. It is totally
irresponsible to send Computer disks without checking for viruses.

 5. Unless specifically requested, do not send the instruction book and
packaging.

                APPENDIX B- DESIGNING DOCUMENTS WITH STYLE

 Using a typewriter to produce letters has always been limiting. Most of
us concentrated on avoiding typing mistakes-keeping the style as simple as
possible.

 With modern-day word processors like Wordworth, the possibilities are
endless! Facilities such as the spelling checkers, glossary, spacing text
back, and editing allow you to produce perfect documents.

 And so, with the basics taken care of, let us consider the cosmetic
aspects of the letter itself-what it actually looks like on the page. One
of the major advantages of Wordworth is that during the editing process,
the WYSIWYG screen shows exactly how a printed document will look,
including multiple fonts, styles and point sizes, graphics and so on.

 Choosing a type style, type size, leading and so on are described in a
later section in this chapter, "Typography".


@node b1
 SIMPLE GUIDELINES

 Style-when you print your document, is it visually appealing?

  As you get to know Wordworth, you will discover a vast selection of text
formatting facilities. It is possible to mix a variety of type styles and
sizes on one page, but remember, simplicity is the modem trend. These
facilities are designed to give you flexibility and control over your
document, but try to resist the temptation to experiment mixing too many
styles on one page. You will find good examples of getting the mix right
in daily newspapers or magazines.

 Some people, unable to write sentences which impress, arouse curiosity or
create interest, think that CAPITAL LETTERS or varying type styles
substitute for skilful writing.

 They are wrong! Type style effects may not attract special attention, and
can give a letter an unbalanced appearance.

 During the 1940's when there was a paper shortage, words were crammed on
to pages to save paper. This does not apply today, and a sheet of paper
overflowing with words is as hard to digest as an over-will plate of food.

 All documents should have a picture frame appearance, the typescript
representing the picture, and the white rectangular surround, the picture
mounting. On an A4 sheet, the side margins should be about 1 inch, and
proportionally less for smaller sheets of paper.


 Page 245

 MAKE SURE YOUR LETTER IS REALLY GOOD LOOKING!

 You may wish to instill a little individuality into your correspondence.
Try using a larger left margin. Most letters are all left-justified, take
a look at the following Pages which show variations on a basic letter
style.


@node b2
 TITLE

 A person's name and title is one of their proudest possessions, and so
make sure you get it right.

 Mr or Esq-An esquire was originally a squire or shield bearer, or a
knight's attendant. It was a title of dignity, ranking just below that of
a knight. The word is now a title of respect when used for addressing
letters. Both writers and recipients obviously still like to believe that
they are esquire, and not just plain misters. The choice is yours, but you
should note that Mr is the correct form of address.

 Miss, Mrs or Ms: If you know their correct title, use it. If not, Ms is
the correct Form of address.

 WORDS

 Never use a long word if a short one makes for equal clarity.
 Some people use long words, believing that they imply good
 education and a knowledge of semantics.

 Never use a long word if a short one makes for equal clarity. Some people
use long words, believing that they imply good education and a knowledge
of semantics.

 Mark Twain wrote: "I never write metropolis when I can get paid the same
sum for city."

 Some people love words and take endless trouble in selecting the exact
word for the occasion. If you are a perfectionist, or just want to be an
outstandingly good writer, use Wordworth's thesaurus. It will help you to
find the exact word you want. For example, you might write: Wordworth is
wonderful. But would any of these be more apt: extraordinary, marvellous,
remarkable, superb.

 Fowler gave this advice: "Anyone who wishes to become a good writer
should endeavour, before he allows himself to be tempted by more showy
qualities, to be direct, simple, brief, vigorous, and lucid. Prefer the
familiar Word to the far-fetched. Prefer the concrete word to the
abstract. Prefer the single word to the circumlocution. Prefer the short
word to the long. Prefer the Saxon Word to the Romance."

 ABBREVIATIONS

normal text. Avoid Latin abbreviations in particular:

 ABBREVIATION    REPLACE WITH

 etc.            and so on, and others, and so forth

 e.g.            for example

 i.e.            that is

 et al           and others


@node b6
 TYPEFACES

 With the introduction of computers into printing processes another leap
forward has been achieved. Programs like Wordworth can show the typeface
and style on the screen while typing in the text, removing the guess-work
from using typefaces as designer tools.

 Large numbers of typefaces can be stored on a computer for immediate use:
large, bold styles for emphasis, fancy styles to convey a feeling of
finesse.

 For example, it would not be appropriate to use the typeface Emerald for
a builders' merchant where a feeling of strength is required.

 Page 247

 Just as Topaz bold would not seem quite right for a fine art
 dealer.

 For company reports, statements of account and other long documents
consisting mainly of text, the typeface needs to be chosen for legibility.
Some typefaces can be very effective where display emphasis is required,
but can be very difficult to read when used for large block of text.

 So the choice of typeface is therefore very important for the size of the
document being produced.

 Although there are many type styles available on modern computer-based
word processing and desktop publishing systems, they can be broken down
into various groups.

 The three main groups are serif, sans serif and script styles:

 * A serif is the small extra cross-stroke on the ends of the lines
   describing the characters. It is a traditional style and offers good
   legibility with a more conservative appearance. Times is perhaps the
   best known and was developed for The Times newspaper where legibility
   in a variety of sizes had to be combined with a fairly compact format
   to get as much text as reasonably possible in a overall design of the
   type style, from Times with a relatively fine serf to Rockwell with its
   bold slab serif. Courier is very similar to a conventional typewriter
   style but still has a serif and so is included in this group.

 Times in this example:

 * Sans serf (sans coming from the French word meaning "without") does not
   have these extra strokes. These styles are more modern yet still offer
   good legibility. Because of their open, uncluttered nature, and the
   evenness of the lines forming the style, they maintain a good
   appearance at any size or style.

 Page 248

 Helvetica in this example:

 * Script style covers perhaps the largest range of all. It includes
   classic copperplate script (often called Palace Script) and modern
   fancy styles such as Emerald and Garnet, even calligraphic styles such
   as Sapphire (sometimes called German Text or Old English).

   Script styles tend to be used for main display lines only. Because of
   their fancy nature they can be very eye-catching where just a few words
   are used in a large size. Although the legibility of these styles tends
   to be reduced by their intricacy, their use in a large size will
   overcome this and so emphasis is maintained. If used too small or in
   too great a quantity the lack of legibility will cause people to skip
   over the text as it becomes too difficult to read.

   Palace Script in this example:



@node b7
 TYPE SIZE AND LINE SPACING

 When typing in a display format for leaflets, cover pages, etc., where
there will be few words but emphasis is required, a change of type size
can be used instead of changing the typeface.

 The major consideration when using type sizes in a display situation is
to prioritise which lines need most emphasis. It is often useful to write
numbers to represent the priority of each line, 1 for the highest
priority, 2 for the next, and so on. In this way it is easier to assess
the overall effect of various type sizes on the whole document before
actually typing the words.

 The advantage of modern WYSIWYG ("What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get") sytems
like Wordworth is being able to see all the type styles and size on the
screen, as they will appear on the final printout, and being able to alter
the formatting information to see what effect it will have on the overall
display, without having to continually print test sheets.

 Page 249

 When typing in long documents consisting mainly of text like company
reports, books or long letters, the need for emphasis is less important
than achieving a consistent and legible format throughout the whole
document.

 A type size must be chosen that will keep the number of pages to a
minimum to reduce the print time, but consideration must be given to the
legibility of the text.

 If a small type size is used over a long line length, it is very much
harder to read-think of those terms and Conditions on the back of so many
orders and invoices.

 The human eye has great difficulty in returning from the end of a long
line of small text to the beginning of the next, all too easily skips one
or more lines. It is then necessary to re-read the end of the previous
line to see if text has been missed. If a small type size is required it
may be beneficial to increase the left and right margin settings so
decreasing the line length slightly to make the lines "scan" more easily.

 Printers use the "points" system of measurement to define type sizes and
line spacing. This is a regression to the very early metal type.
Originally, each size was denoted by a name rather than a measurement,
but, as mechanisation took over the composition of text, these sizes
needed to be defined exactly so that all machines would be able to use all
manufactured type. The system of measurement which evolved is based on a
unit the point which is 1/72 of an inch.

 The other major unit in this system is the pica (pronounced "pie-car"),
which is 1/6 of an inch, giving six picas to the inch. The standard
typewriter sizes of pica and elite originate from the early days of type
when the sizes were known by names. Pica is generally considered to be 12
point type size, and elite 9 point size.

 Figure B-1 Type sizes

 Page 250

 This also relates to the line spacing. Pica (12 point type) single line
spaced is 6 lines to the inch (72 divided by 12), whereas Elite (9 point
type size) single spaced is 8 lines to the inch (72 divided by 9).

 Although the unit of 1/72 of an inch may seem an unusual one, with usage
it is effective. One point difference is small enough to provide fine
adjustment yet not become cumbersome, and large enough to still show a
definite difference in size and so emphasis. The measurement of a type
size is taken from the top of a capital letter to the bottom of a
descending letter, like 'y' or 'g,' and not just the height of a capital
letter.

 Figure B-2 Positions of type alignment


 Another very important factor in the appearance of any document is the
line spacing-the spacing from the base of one line of text to the base of
the next line. Note that the measurement should be taken from one base
(the bottom of a  capital letter, the line on which all characters except
descenders should sit), to the base of the next line. This means that, if
using a custom measurement in points rather than 6 or 8 lines to the inch,
or Auto, the line spacing must be equal to or greater than the type size.
If 13 point type size is being used then custom line spacing should be set
to at least 13 or the lines will overlap one another and become illegible
(refer Paragraph command, Format menu).

 Page 251

 Figure B-3 Line spacing

 Line spacing is referred to as "leading" (pronounced "LED-ing" ), which
derives from early typesetting when strips of lead were placed between
lines of metal type for spacing:

 Finally, you may wish to change the spacing between individual letters.
This is called tracking. Adjusting tracking can reduce or increase the
spacing between letters, which is particularly useful for headings (refer
Font command, Format menu).

 Page 252

 Figure B-4 Tracking

 The requirements of display and long text document setting
 are somewhat different.

 In display setting it is often thought necessary to fill the page with
type, using large sizes and close spacing to cover as much of the paper as
possible. This is usually counter-productive as the display will appear
cramped and generally people do not tend to read it. Judicious use of
"white space" (leaving space around lines) on commands of high priority
can be much more effective as the line stands out more on its own, rather
than being cramped by other text. It is much more likely to be read at a
glance, gaining the reader's attention and encouraging them to study the
rest of the information.

 In a long text document, the need for ease of reading is more important
than emphasising particular lines. Just as a small type size can make the
text harder to read, so tight line spacing can make it much more difficult
to follow from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.

 Page 253

 If a page of text looks like a solid black mass it becomes very hard to
read because of the increased concentration needed to keep to the correct
line and hence Concentration on the content is reduced.

 For large blocks of text a spacing of at least 10% (one tenth) more than
the type size will make it easier to read. For example, if using the Auto
leading options, use a 1.5 "Line Height" rather than Single; if using
Custom line spacing with a type size of 12 point, make the spacing at
least 14 to increase legibility.


@node b8
 MARGINS

 Margins are the spaces from the edge of a sheet of paper to the beginning
of the text area on a page. The left and right margins set the length of
the text line and so are important to the legibility and readability of
the text. The amount of white space created by the margins is very
important to the overall look of the page-too small margins make the page
look cramped, too wide can substantially increase the number of pages and
hence the amount of paper used and time taken to print out. Using 1.5
inch margins on an A4 page instead of 0.5 inch margins will decrease the
text area by 20 per cent. Using one inch margins would therefore seem to
be a reasonable combination of the needs of white space for appearance and
maximum type area.

 Margins in Wordworth are set in Document command (Format menu) and Can
take two formats, depending on whether or not 'Facing pages' and "Mirror
Margins Onto Left Pages" have been selected.

 If selected, your left margin will become your right margin on left hand
page (even page), and right margin will become the left hand margin on the
even page.

 This is for a "book" format, where with a multi-page document each sheet
of paper will be printed on both sides and opened out so viewing two pages
at a time. The margins on the inside, where the two pages meet, may need
to be wider than the margins on the outside edges, to accommodate holes
for ring binding or staples.

 Page 254

 In this case the left-hand pages will have a wide margin on the right
(inside) edge for the binding and a narrower margin on the left (outside)
edge. The right-hand page will be a mirror image of the left-hand page,
having a wide margin on the left (inside) edge and a narrower margin on
the right (outside) edge.


 Figure B-5 Facing pages margins layout

 If the document is to be perfect bound (by sticking a cover onto the
spine and wrapping it around the document) or saddle stitched (printed as
two pages on each side of the paper, folded in half and stapled on the
fold) then the usual format is to make the inside margins narrower than
the outside margins as, when the book is opened out flat, the two inside
margins being side by side appear as one very wide margin between the two
pages.

 If "Facing pages" is not selected, the layout will be "single page",
where text will appear on only one side of the paper. As there is no
longer a left and right-hand page of text, the margins need to be the same
on all pages. All the pages can be considered right hand pages
irrespective of the binding method.

 Page 255

 Figure B-6 Single page margins layout

 When considering margins, remember the Header and Footer areas. The Top
and Bottom margins are the distance from the top and bottom of the page to
the main document text, and the Header and Footer margins are the distance
from the top and bottom of the page to the header or footer text.

 PRINTING PICTURES WITH WORDWORTH

 Wordworth provides excellent support for pictures, allowing you to place
them anywhere in a document, then re-size, arrange text to flow around the
picture, adjust their colours, and mix them with many styles and sizes of
font. However, although documents containing pictures usually look great
on-screen, when printing the quality can vary enormously. So, how do you
achieve the best results?

 BLACK AND WHITE PRINTERS

 Black and white printers are the most common, so we'll start with them.
Wordworth lets you print in two ways, either solid black and white, or
grey scaling. (These options are available using the "Print Setup"
command, Project menu.)

 BLACK AND WHITE

 This option prints solid areas of black or white. Pictures containing
various shades of greys or colours are printed all the light shades in
white and the darker shades in black.

 You can change the threshold where light colours become white and dark
colours become black, from the Amiga Preferences program, PrinterGFX.

 Page 265

 The Threshold can be set from 1 to 15. The lower its value, the more
colours will be printed as white, the higher the value, the more colours
will be printed as black. It is usually set at about 7 or 8.

 GREY SCALE

 Black and white printers can only print dots in black ink they can't
actually print 'greys'. Grey scale printing is achieved by using small
patterns of black dots and white space to produce an illusion of a grey
scale. The more black dots in the pattern, the darker the grey appears.
When printing in grey scales the pictures have their colours reproduced in
grey, which corresponds to the brightness of the colour.

 So, with Wordworth, the choice between printing using "Black And
White","Grey 1", or "Grey 2" depends on the type of pictures you have in
your document (select from Print command, Project menu). Most clip art,
like the Wordworth Clip Art Volume One, is drawn in just 2 colours (that
is, black on white), and should be printed using "Black And White".

 Other graphics which use many colours or grey shades (like the Wordworth
Clip Art Volume Two), should be printed using "Grey 1" or "Grey 2".
However, you may wish to experiment printing using "Black And White". It's
worth remembering that "Black and White" printing is faster since the
Amiga doesn't have to calculate the grey patterns (called 'dithers' or
'halftones').

 You can select the level of shading, (that is, "Grey 1",or "Grey 2"). It
is usually best to use "Grey 1", as "Grey 2" is a special type of grey
scaling designed for use when printing documents that have been designed
using a Commodore A2024 monochrome monitor.

 DENSITY

 How do you alter the quality of the printouts? Can they be made darker?
And, is there any way of improving the resolution, to avoid jagged edges
on pictures? The density of the dots used to print "Black And White",
"Grey 1" or "Grey 2" can be adjusted by using the Density slider gadget on
the "Print Setup" requester ("Print Setup" command, Project menu).

 Page 266

 The Density may be set from 1 to 7, which corresponds to the lowest
resolution Of your printer (for example, 120 dots per inch horizontally by
72 dots per inch vertically), up to the highest resolution (for example,
300dpi by 300dpi). Using a higher density setting will generally produce
higher quality printouts, particularly with grey scale printing, but there
are restrictions.

 On most dot matrix printers, high density printing is achieved by passing
the print head mechanism across the page several times, at slightly
different positions. For example, on a 9 pin printer, the 216dpi
resolution is achieved by first printing a line of dots at 72dpi, then
moving the print head down slightly, printing another line of dots at
72dpi over the first line, then repeating the procedure a third time,
giving a  'simulated' resolution of 216 dots per inch (this process is
called 'multi-pass' printing). However, because of the size of the pins of
the printer, the real resolution is less than this, and many of the dots
tend to overlap. Printing on dot matrix printers at high resolutions can
produce darker or 'muddier' results. In contrast, printouts at Density 1
can often look too light.

 However, because of the size of the pins of the printer, the real
resolution is less than this, and many of the dots tend to overlap.
Printing on dot matrix printers at high resolutions can produce darker or
'muddier' results. In contrast, printouts at Density 1 can often look too
light.

 The best way around this problem is to experiment with the Density
settings to find the highest density which prints, without looking too
dark. Better printers, like laser printers, do not require multi-pass
printing to produce high density, so you can use the highest density
setting without any degradation in quality. The only drawback is that high
density printing takes longer.

 AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR

 Because of the way that colour is produced, the quality is rarely as good
as equivalent black and white printers and the cost is usually higher.

 First, when placing pictures in your document, try to avoid pictures
which use very dark colours, particularly black and dark blue, as these
will quickly wear out the black ink in your printer (black is the most
used of the 4 primary inks in colour printers, the other colours are
Magenta, Cyan and Yellow).

 Page 267

 When printing, use the Print command to set Shade to Colour and set
Density to a low value from the "Print Setup" command. Although setting
the Density higher should produce higher resolution printouts, on most
colour dot matrix printers, which use multi-pass printing at higher
density, it simply makes the printouts much darker and muddier. It can
also make the colour ribbon dirty by getting black print onto the yellow
ribbon area. A Density of 1 or 2 is best.

 BETTER QUALITY BITMAP PRINTING

 The best way to print a picture, avoiding the "jaggies" is to create the
picture in your paint package four or five times bigger than you want to
print it.

 When placing the picture into your Wordworth document, you should create
a "Picture Frame" using the "Picture Frame" object ("Create Object"
command, Object menu) and then choose "Place Picture" to place the picture
inside the frame. Wordworth will shrink the picture to the size of the
frame which can be moved and sized like any other object.

 When printing Wordworth will (like scalable fonts) scale the picture up
four times bigger to match the printer's resolution and as the picture's
original size is that big, the printout will be perfect.


 DIGITA PRINT MANAGER

 To get the best performance from your printer, and if you have a hard
disk drive, be sure to install Digita Print Manager (this may already be
intruded with your Amiga computer).

 Digita Print Manager provides the very latest printer driver technology
to fully support and utilise your printer's capabilities.

 Contact Digita for further details if this useful program is not already
included with your Amiga.

                            APPENDIX D - FONTS

 SCALABLE FONTS

 Agfa Compugraphic, PostScript and TrueType fonts use mathematical
descriptions of the outlines of each character in a font (lines and
curves) to generate the font in any point size.

 As you request a size and start typing, the font is generated in real-
time. Therefore, a scalable font is stored as a file containing this
description, rather than a separate file for each point size of the font.

 These fonts are listed in the Font requester (Font command, Format menu).
As you type, a bit-mapped screen font is generated in real-time for the
desired size. You can choose any size by typing the new value in the Size
box. When the font appears, you will notice that no matter what size you
choose, there are no jagged edges. You set the type of font which appears
in the Font requester using the "Text Settings" requester ("Change
Settings" command, Settings menu).


@node d2
 INSTALLING ADDITIONAL AGFA COMPUGRAPHIC FONTS

 Wordworth will work with any Agfa Compugraphic or 100% compatible font.
This may include Workbench 2 / 3 fonts, George Thompson fonts, public
domain fonts and font libraries from Gold Disk Inc. Agfa font packs are
available direct from Digita.

 IMPORTANT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 FAIS Agfa fonts: All FAIS Agfa fonts will probably be in PC format and
will therefore require an MSDOS convertor, such as CrossDos.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You can either install additional fonts for use with Wordworth or tell
Wordworth to share the fonts already installed by ProPage, Workbench or
any other program.

 To install new fonts onto your hard disk, you must first copy the
appropriate font files (.type, .lib or .typ) into the Intellifont drawer,
which is situated in the WwFonts drawer on your hard disk, and then run
the lnstallOutlines program, with no tooltype set, from the WwTools
drawer.

 To share fonts with programs like ProPage, you will need to select the
lnstallOutlines program, choose Information (Workbench-Icons menu) and
alter the FONTPATH= tooltype to point to the location of the fonts.
Double-click the InstallOutlines program to install the fonts in the
destination specified by the tooltype for use with Wordworth 3.

@node d5
 BITMAP FONTS

 Amiga fonts are 'bit-mapped'. This means that they are constructed from a
pattern of dots which are stored in the computer as Binary Digits (BITS).
This pattern of dots is referred to as a 'map' of 'bits', hence the term
'bit-mapped'.

 Each size of a bit-mapped Amiga font is stored on disk in a separate
file. A font may have been pre-drawn in 3 sizes, for example, 8, 16, 32
points. To use sizes (other than those which have been pre-drawn), the
computer has to 'scale' one of the bit-maps, and create a bit-mapped
version of the size you want.

 This scaling process tends to produce jagged-looking fonts when they are
increased in size. This explains why Amiga fonts can produce rather poor
quality printouts-although they look good on-screen, when printing, they
are scaled to the dot resolution of the printer.

 Page 271


@node d6
 COLOUR FONTS

 ColorFonts are a variation on standard bitmap fonts. Normal bitmap fonts
are designed in one colour. Wordworth lets you type standard bitmap fonts
in a variety of colours (by choosing the desired pen colour from the Font
requester), but each letter of the font is composed of one solid colour.

 ColorFonts may contain a character composed of up to 16 colours.
ColorFonts are listed in the Font requester in the same way as bitmap
fonts (provided the "Bitmap Fonts" check box is selected from the "Next
Settings' requester).

 Unless you have a screen mode that is capable of displaying more than 16
colours, the font will not appear on-screen in the colours it will use
when printing. This is because ColorFonts cannot be re-mapped to the
available colours easily.

 ColorFonts are still bit-mapped, just like bitmap fonts, and are
therefore subject to the same scaling limitations and ragged edges when
printing.


@node d7
 PRINTER FONTS

 Using the internal fonts of your printer is much faster and can produce
print of a high quality, albeit with less variation in font range and
size. Most modern printers come supplied with a range of fonts built-in.
These fonts usually print out at the printer's highest resolution, The
Wordworth printer installation lets you install a printer driver and
special 'printer font' files for your printer. These files tell Wordworth
how to use the internal printer fonts in your printer.

 To print a document using internal printer fonts, use the "Print Method-
Printer Font' on the "Print Setup" requester (Project menu). The Font
requester (when the "Print Method"-"Printer Font" button is selected),
lists the names of the fonts, which are prefixed by the letters WW
followed by name of your printer, For example, the internal fonts for the
Panasonic KXP2180 printer are listed as: WW KX-P2180_ Bold, WW KX-
P2180_Courier_Prop, and so on.

 The fonts can be selected just like bitmap fonts, and text typed on-
screen using them. Wordworth uses the default outline font to depict the
printer font. Therefore, the font may look a little different on paper,
but the alignment of the on-screen text will be correct. Different fonts
and sizes can be mixed on the same page, even on the same line.

 When using internal printer fonts, we recommended that you keep to 6 lpi
or 8 lpi line spacing (Paragraph command, Format menu).

 AGFA COMPUGRAPHIC FONT COLLECTION

 Although Wordworth is easily capable of producing posters, invitations,
newsletters and presentations, to do this effectively, you'll probably
need extra fonts.

 There are many low-cost clone fonts available but they simply don't match
the quality of genuine, more expensive Agfa Compugraphic fonts.

 And So, from the massive Agfa font library, we have individually selected
a range of fonts for their quality and suitability with Wordworth (the
following pages illustrate each collection).

 We have exclusively negotiated this special arrangement with Agfa to
bring you the best quality and best value. However, as we are sure you'll
appreciate, these prices are only  available to registered users of
Wordworth:

                      APPENDIX E-POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS

 INTRODUCTION

 PostScript is a computer programming language, produced by the American
company, Adobe Systems.

 The language is specially designed to describe printed pages comprising
text and graphics. It is used by applications, such as Wordworth, to
produce a description of a printed document, which is then sent to a
'PostScript compatible' printer using the PostScript language to produce
the printout.

 PostScript describes the printed page in terms of lines, curves and
shapes, in a similar way to the Agfa Compugraphic fonts. This means that
the page is drawn at the printer's highest resolution, with no ragged
edges on scaled fonts. PostScript fonts are similar to Agfa Compugraphic
fonts, but they use the PostScript language to describe the shapes of
their characters.

 Agfa Compugraphic fonts are generated by the computer and translated into
bit-mapped graphics, which are then sent to the printer. Sending this
amount of information is slow, particularly when printing at high
resolution. With PostScript, only the description of the page (lines,
curves, names and sizes of desired fonts) is sent to the printer. The
printer then takes the time to generate the bit-map which it prints, thus
the computer is free to carry on with other task.

 The second advantage of PostScript is its complete flexibility. Owing to
its dependence on just a description of the page (in terms of simple
programming commands), PostScript can be instructed to perform very fancy
effects, such as rotating or stretching text. Such effects are produced by
the PostScript printer, removing the burden from the application.

 Most expensive laser printers and typesetting machines use PostScript and
generally include a built-in set of 35 standard PostScript fonts.
Wordworth provides full support for printing to PostScript printers and
allows you to use all 35 fonts.


@node e2
 SETUP

 When a PostScript printer is selected for installation, then 'screen
fonts' will also be installed (on your hard disk) for the standard
PostScript fonts. (Floppy disk users do not have enough room on their
disks to install the relevant screen fonts) and therefore cannot use
PostScript.

 Page 279

 These fonts are simply Amiga bit-mapped fonts in various sizes, which
correspond in design to the 35 PostScript fonts used in PostScript
printers. Special 'printer font' files are also installed which describe
the exact widths of the characters in the fonts so that Wordworth can
align the text Correctly on screen.

 IMPORTANT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Before you can use the PostScript fonts you must set the "Print Method"
("Print Setup", Project menu) to PostScript.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 From within Wordworth, the PostScript fonts can be selected using the
Font requester. They are prefixed with 'WW_PS_'. They include WW_PS_Times,
WW_PS_Helvetica, WW_PS_Palatino, WW_PS_ZapfDingbats and so on.


@node e3
 PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT

 From the "Print Setup" requester click PostScript on the bottom of the
requester.

 DESTINATION

 Select the Printer radio button to print the document.

 You can also send the document to disk by selecting the File radio button
and type the path and file name into the Filename text gadget, the
destination can also be set using the file requester by clicking the
Select button.

This option is particularly useful if you wish to print your
document using the facilities of a typesetting bureau.

 OPTIONS

 Download Fonts: Informs Wordworth to send all the PostScript fonts in
your document to the printer before printing. This is used when the
document contains fonts which are not internal to the printer.

 Only PostScript Type 1 fonts can be downloaded to a printer and
therefore, if you wish to use any of your Agfa Compugraphic fonts in a
document, you will have to convert them to PostScript format before
editing.

 If a font has not been downloaded and is not one of the inbuilt fonts it
will be printed in Courier.

 Page 280

 The "Download Fonts" options are as follows:

 "Once Only"   Any new fonts are downloaded to the printer once only. If
               the printer is turned off, you will need to re-download the
               fonts  using the "Every Time" option,

 "Every Time"  All fonts are downloaded to the printer every time the
               document is printed.

 "Never"       Fonts are never downloaded. If a font is not internal, and
               it has not been previously downloaded, the text will be
               printed in Courier.

 Landscape documents can be printed easily by using the
 Rotate and Offset options:

 * Choose Document (Format menu) and swap the values
 for Height and Width.

 * From the "PostScript Setup" requester, set Rotate to 90, and
   "Horizontal Offset' to 11.713 in.

 * Choose Print, and your document will appear in landscape.

 Scaling: To enlarge or reduce the size of the page, type a scaling
percentage for the width and height. For example, typing 50 for horizontal
and vertical scaling will print the page at 25% of its normal size.

 Rotate By: Type an angle by which you wish to rotate the page  The
rotation is in degrees anti-clockwise around the origin, which is at the
bottom left corner of the page.

 Page 281

 Figure E-1 'PostScript Printer Setup' requester

 Offset: Offsets the page from the top corner of the page. The horizontal
and vertical offsets should be typed using the current measurement units
(usually inches).

 Send EOF Character: Some PostScript printers require a special character
at the end of a file. If you experience an EOF error while printing,
select this check box to solve the problem.

 IMPORTANT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Any font not supported by your printer will be printed in a Courier font.

   new location.

 * Release the Selection button to drop the text in place. To copy text
   using Drag and Drop editing:

 * Select the text you wish to copy

 * Point to the selected text, hold down the Selection button and depress
   the Ctrl key. When the Drag and Drop pointer appears (a pointer with a
   grey box beneath it and a plus sign in the corner), drag the dotted
   insertion point that appears in the text, to the new location.

 * Release the Selection button to drop the text in place.

 Drag and Drop can be turned on and off from "Text Settings" ("Change
Settings" command, Settings menu).

 Drag and Drop usually works best if you set the Workbench Input
preferences to use a smaller "Double-click Delay".

 Unfortunately, you cannot Drag and Drop text between table cells.

 ADVANCED MAIL MERGING

 There are several selective commands which you can use while mail
merging.

 «:NEXT»

 This skips on to the next record in the files. It is useful when printing
labels, as you can have a page with several records, for example:

 «Name»
 «Address»
 «Postcode»
 «:NEXT»

 «Name»
 «Address»
 «Postcode »

 Note that the «:NEXT» command is preceded by a colon to distinguish it
from a normal field name.

 «:SKIP» And «ENDSKIP»

 These two commands precede and follow a group of field names where you
want empty fields to pick up the data from the following field. This is
useful for addresses where some fields in the address may be empty and you
would want all the filled fields to be grouped together rather than having
gaps left. For example:

 If using fields NAME, STREET, STREET2, TOWN, COUNTY, POSTCODE.

 You could find:

     Mr Brown¶
     2 Elms Street¶
     ¶
     Launceston¶
     Cornwall¶
     PL10 8JY¶

 Mr Brown's record didn't contain and data in STREET2.

 Page 284

  To avoid this you would enter the following in your merge letter:

 «:SKIP»«Name»

 «Street»

 «Street2»

 «Town »

 «County»

 «Postcode»«:ENDSKIP»

 For the example record, this would cause the contents of TOWN to be
inserted where STREET2 should be, COUNTY to be inserted where TOWN should
be and POSTCODE to be inserted where COUNTY should be with the blank space
being left at the end of the group where POSTCODE would normally be. The
Endskip command prevents the data from any other field references in the
letter, after the group, being inserted in the POSTCODE position.

 The result for this example would be:

 Mr Brown¶
 2 Elms Street¶
 Launceston¶
 Cornwall¶
 PL10 8JL¶

 «:IF "FIELD" = "value" NEXT» And

 «:IF "FIELD" = "value" STOP»

 These two commands allow conditional checks of the data in fields to
allow the printing of only selected records. The first command will skip
to the next record if the field contents match the value. The second
command will stop the printing of the document if the field matches the
value.

 In place of the '=' comparison you can also use any of the following:

 <=- (or-<)       - Less than or equal to

 >= (or =>)       - Greater than or equal to

 <>               - Does not equal to

 <                - Less than

 >                - Greater than

 Page 285

 The comparisons are made between the  text in FIELD and the text in
VALUE. Numerical Comparisons are not supported, only alphanumeric. FIELD
and value must be surrounded by quotes.

 For example, to print a document to all the people living in towns whose
names start with the letters D to G:

 «:if "TOWN" < "d" NEXT»

 «:if "TOWN" > "G" STOP»

 To print a letter only to those people living in London:

 «:IF "TOWN" < "London" NEXT»

 «:IF "TOWN" > "London" STOP»

 The use of stop above assumes that the data file is sorted
alphabetically. If it isn't, only use the NEXT Command, to skip to the
NEXT record. For example:

 «:IF "TOWN" < > "London" NEXT»

 Note that the NEXT command in the conditional checks skips to the NEXT
record in a similar manner to the «:NEXT» command so that you could use
data from a record prior to a conditional check and then use the next
record for the rest of the document after the check.

 Also note that all comparisons are case insensitive.

                APPENDIX G-SHARING WITH OTHER APPLICATIONS

 SHARING TEXT

 Wordworth can open and Save documents in a variety of popular text and
word processing file formats, including Wordworth, Kindwords3, "ASCII
text", RTF (Rich Text Format), WordPerfect 5.1 (MSDOS), Microsoft Word
(MSDOS), MS Windows Write, Wordstar and Microsoft Works.

 Each of these file Formats stores information in different ways. Only the
standard Wordworth format is capable of storing all the formatting
information used to describe the appearance of a Wordworth document.
Saving Wordworth documents in a different document format will lose some
of the formatting information.

 The following lists what information is stored in, or retrieved from,
each format.

 WORDWORTH

 Opening and saving: ALL text, typefaces, type styles, paragraph
formatting, page breaks, page sizes, and graphics.

 ASCII

 Opening: All characters are read as text characters. Carriage returns or
line feeds are treated as paragraph breaks.

 Saving: Only text and paragraph break. All typeface, type style,
paragraph formatting, graphics, page break and page size information is
discarded.

 RTF (RICH TEXT FORMAT)

 Opening and saying: Text, typefaces, type style, foreign
 characters, indents, paragraph alignment information, and
 page break are maintained. Graphics are discarded.

 WORDPERFECT 5.1 (MSDOS)

 Opening and saving: Text and type style only.

 MS Word (MSDOS)

 Opening: Text and type style only.

 Microsoft Works

 Opening: Text and type style only.

 Wordstar

 Opening: Text and type style only.

 Page 287


 MS WINDOWS WRITE

 Opening: Text, type style, indents, and page breaks are maintained.
Typefaces and graphics are discarded.


@node g2
 SHARING GRAPHICS

 BITMAPPED GRAPHICS

 Wordworth can place bitmap pictures drawn in IFF, TIF, GIF, PCX, BMP, IMG
formats as long as the appropriate Filters have been installed.

 Bitmap graphics are like bitmap fonts and are prone to the same scaling
restrictions when printing. This means that your pictures may appear
'jagged' when printed.

 SCALABLE GRAPHICS

 Wordworth can place scalable pictures drawn in CGM or GEM formats as long
as the appropriate filters have been installed.

 Scalable clip art is like a scalable font, it can be scaled to any size,
and retains its perfect quality. When printing, because of its
scalability, the quality will be perfect and just as good as your scalable
outline fonts.

                   APPENDIX H-MAKING THE MOST OF MEMORY

 Memory is used by Wordworth for storing the program, its information and
the documents created with it.

 The following explanations should help you understand where memory is
used, how much memory various Commands might need, and what to do if the
computer runs out of memory.


@node h1
 WHAT IS MEMORY?

 Memory, sometimes referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory) can be
thought of in terms of a large box of a certain volume. The more that is
put into the box, the less space there is free.

 When commands are removed from the box, more space is made. Thus, the
more programs and information that are stored in a computers memory, the
less space is available for storing information. Freeing up information,
or quitting a program, will free more space for use by other programs.

 The amount of memory is measured in bytes. The larger the number the more
memory is available. A Kilobyte is 1024 bytes. A Megabyte is 1024
Kilobytes. A Kilobyte is often referred to as a "K" and Megabytes are
sometimes called a "Meg."

 The Amiga's memory comes in two varieties Chip RAM and Fast RAM.

 Chip RAM is that memory that can be accessed by the Amiga's graphics and
sound chips. Since there is usually less Chip RAM than Fast RAM on an
Amiga, many programs which use graphics seem to run out of memory, even
when there is plenty of Fast RAM free.

 Information stored in Fast RAM can be accessed or changed faster than
Chip RAM, so programs are usually stored in Fast RAM.

 Wordworth requires at least 1.5 Megabytes of memory to work, of which the
program uses about 800K, and the operating system uses about 100K.

 When a document is opened, memory is required to store information about
the window itself; this could be up to 50K for each window, and is stored
mainly in Chip RAM Therefore, opening several windows can quickly use up a
lot of memory. Wordworth is capable of opening up to eight windows, but
this will depend on the amount of available memory.

 Page 289

 When a window is opened, memory is used for storing the actual document
text, which is stored in Fast RAM.

 Although in theory 10000 characters it text takes 1 0000 bytes of memory
(10KB), Wordworth will use more. It needs to also store information about
the text, such as the formatting of lines, paragraphs and type styles.
This explains why trying to open a 50K ASCII text document might require
up to 200K of memory.

 The Wordworth screen also takes up Chip RAM. A higher resolution, or more
colours will occupy more memory. Inserting pictures in a document requires
a great deal of memory, which will vary depending on the size and number
of colours.

 The amount of available memory can be checked at any time by choosing
About (Project menu). If free memory looks low (that is, less than 50000
bytes in total), it is a good idea to save any documents and attempt to
maximise any available memory.

 When available memory is low some commands may become unavailable in
which case Wordworth will show the message Out of Memory on the current
document's title bar.

 IMPORTANT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The creation of documents with many different types and sizes of fonts,
use large amounts of memory - the larger the font, the more memory is
needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Page 290


@node h2
 MAXIMISING AVAILABLE MEMORY

 Follow these simple guidelines should experience low memory problems:

 * Always keep the number of open documents to a minimum.


 * High resolution screen modes use more memory, choose "Change Settings"
   (Settings menu), select Screen and click "Screen Mode" to change the
   screen mode to medium resolution.

 * Colour uses more memory, choose "Change Settings" (Settings men u),
   select Screen and click "Screen Mode" to reduce the number of colours.

 * Quit any other programs running on the Workbench.

 * Close the Workbench screen (choose "Close Workbench" command from the
   Settings menu). This will save at least 32k of memory.

 If memory gets very low, you may need to delete any pictures in the
current document.

 One area that can easily be overlooked is the clipboard. If you have been
using the Edit menu commands Cut or Copy, text will be stored on the
clipboard. If this text is no longer required for Pasting then clear the
clipboard by selecting one character of text, and choose Copy from the
Edit menu.

 Refer to Chapter Nine, "Customising And Optimising Wordworth" for more
information on saving memory.

                        APPENDIX J-TROUBLESHOOTING

 The questions and answers are divided into sections. Refer to the General
section First and then the specific topic (Installation, Fonts, Printing).


@node j1
 GENERAL

 Q. When I double-click the Wordworth icon it refuses to run and shows a
    message.

 A. Wordworth may not run for several reasons. If you have a hard disk,
    you may not have installed it correctly. Be sure to use the
    Ww3Install-1 program.

 Q. Setting a tab on the ruler seems to make the tab disappear at times.

 A. Be sure to release the select key whilst the mouse is still over the
    ruler. Dragging the mouse below the ruler and releasing the key will
    remove the tab.

 Q. When typing text into gadgets (for example, the "Page width" box), the
    text seems to be ignored occasionally.

 A. When text or a number is typed in a box, press the Return key to
    register the change. Simply editing the box and clicking OK may
    disregard the change.

 Q. Keep the mouse pointer off the colour palette and horizontal ruler
    when using keyboard shortcuts.

 Q. The paragraph count in Statistics (Tools menu) seems to be more than
    the number of paragraphs in the document.

 A. Wordworth counts the number of actual paragraphs used, including those
    with no text. A paragraph is defined as the text between two return
    characters. Therefore, if you press the Return key at the end of a
    paragraph, and then Return again, to add a blank line, Wordworth will
    count this as two paragraphs.

    To add space between paragraphs, rather than pressing the Return key a
    second time (to add a blank line), you should set the space using the
    Paragraph command (Format menu) and set the "Space Before" and "Space
    After" the paragraph as required.

 Page 297

 Q. The Spelling checker, Thesaurus, hyphenation or User dictionary
    facilities refuse to work and an error requester appears.

 A. These facilities need the "Spelling checker" or Thesaurus data files
    to work.

    If using floppy disks, a requester will prompt you to put the Ww3Spell
    or Ww3Extras disks into the disk drive as required. If you are using a
    hard disk, firstly, check that you have used the correct
    installation procedure.

    Check that Wordworth knows where the dictionary data files are
    stored. To do this, choose "Change Settings" (Settings menu) and
    select Spell. The dictionary and thesaurus will show the path it is
    using to look for the data files. Amend as necessary, for example,
    using hard disk dh0:Wordworth/Spell, using floppy disk Ww3Spell:Spell
    or Ww3EXtras:Spell.

    If you have at least 4 megabytes of RAM available, you can copy the
    spelling checker drawer into the RAM disk. This will make using the
    spelling checker and thesaurus considerably faster (since Wordworth
    will always check the RAM disk first before the disk).

 Q. Do I need to have the Spelling checker or Thesaurus disk in the disk
    drive at all times?

 A. I am having difficulty double-clicking to select a word, and triple-
    clicking to select a line. Try changing the time interval between
    double-clicks. This can be set from your Input preferences program
    settings on your Workbench disk. If you are using floppy disks:

    step 1

    Reset your Amiga with the Wordworth3 disk in drive df0:.

    step 2

    Insert your Workbench disk and click the disk icon. Click the Prefs
    drawer and double-click Input program. This will load the settings
    from the Wordworth3 disk.

 Page 298

    step 3

    Change the "Double Click Delay" slider as appropriate and then click
    Save to save your changes to the Wordworth3 disk.

 Q. With several documents open, Wordworth appears to stop Working.

 A. Check that you do not have a requester displayed in one of the
    documents (it may be hidden by another document). You will need to
    clear the requester before you can continue.

 Q. My Amiga keeps asking me to "Insert volume Wordworth3 in any drive",
    even after I have inserted the Wordworth3 disk.

 A. When you made backup copies of your Wordworth disks, you probably
    renamed them incorrectly. It's very easy to leave an extra space
    before or after the name without realising. When renaming disks, don't
    leave any characters in front of the Wordworth name, and copy the
    names as they appear on the original Wordworth disks.

 Q. How do I merge two files?

 A. Open the first document as normal and then open the second. From the
    Edit menu, choose the "Select All" command and then from the Edit
    menu, choose the Copy command (or press Right Amiga-C) to copy the
    entire contents of the second document to the clipboard.

    Return to the first document and place the cursor at the desired
    insertion point. Choose Paste from the Edit menu (or press Right
    Amiga-V) to paste the clipboard into the first document. Now save this
    document using a new name using the "Save As" command from the Project
    menu.

 Page 299

 Q. Although I am using the spelling checker from the RAM disk, why does
    Wordworth still ask for the Ww3Spell disk?

 A. When spelling checking, Wordworth looks for the Collins dictionary and
    then a User dictionary. If you add words to the User dictionary in
    RAM, once the Amiga is switched off, they would be lost. To prevent
    this, and to save your own words in the User dictionary, Wordworth
    needs the dictionary disk to be in a disk drive (although, whilst
    spelling checking, it will perform all of the checking in RAM).

    However, you can override this safety feature by changing the
    Dictionary text gadget in the "Spell Settings" requester ("Change
    Settings" command, Settings menu) to RAM:SPELL.

 Q. Paragraph formatting (centre, left, right, fully) does not always seem
    to work correctly.

 A. Use the "Show Codes" command document menu) to show codes and check
    that the paragraph doesn't contain tabs (which are shown by a
    triangle), as these will override any justification.


@node j2
 INSTALLATION

 Q. Wordworth failed to install on my hard disk.

 A. You probably have insufficient free space on your hard disk. Wordworth
    requires at least 3 megabytes of disk space. Try deleting some files
    on the hard disk before installing.

 Q. After Wordworth prompted for Name, Organization and License Number it
    quit and returned to Workbench.

 A. Wordworth needs to be personalized before you can use the program. You
    need to type your Name, Organization and License Number. Thereafter,
    this information is shown every time you use the program, confirming
    that you are the licensed user of Wordworth.

    The information must be typed correctly, typing blank lines, or an
    invalid License Number will cause Wordworth to quit.

 Page 300

 Q. When installing Wordworth, l get an error requester telling me my
    Wordworth disk has a read/ write error.

 A. Your Amiga has detected a fault with the disk, and therefore the disk
    needs replacing. If this occurs on your original master disks, return
    them to Digita and include a stamped self-addressed envelope. We will
    send you tested replacements by return.


@node j3
 FONTS

 Q. Can I use PD and ColorFonts in Wordworth?

 A. Yes, just copy them into your System Fonts: drawer (on the Wordworth3
    floppy disk).

 Q. When l select a new typeface, only half of the font appears on the
    screen.

 A. You should set the line spacing to Auto and let Wordworth work it out
    (Paragraph command, Format menu).

 Q. Large italic fonts sometimes become corrupt.

 A. Workbench 2 sometimes slightly corrupts (spurious pixels may appear).
    Try to avoid large Amiga bit-mapped italic fonts until a solution is
    found.


@node j4
 PRINTING

 Q. I wish to select more than one printer driver from the printer list,
    and if I do, how does Wordworth know which driver I wish to use.

 A. Start the "Add New Printer" program on the Ww3Install-1 disk to
    install a new printer. If you are using a floppy disk system, you can
    only install one printer driver (disk space is very tight).

    You make your choice of printer driver from the "Print Setup"
    requester (Project menu). Choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) to
    store your printer settings permanently (as default).

Page 301

 Q. I have a PostScript printer, but no hard disk on which to store the
    PostScript screen fonts. How can I use them on my floppy disk system.

 A. Contact Digita technical support.

 Q. When printing multiple page documents, the paging seems to get out of
    sync. Sometimes the bottom of a page appears at the top of the next.

 A. Check the page size you are using (Document command, Format menu),
    does it match the paper size?

    If you are using the a HP_Deskjet or HP_LaserJet printer, you may only
    get a ten inch page.

 Q. Each time I start Wordworth I have to manually change the printer
    driver.

 A. To save them permanently you need to choose "Save Settings" (Settings
    menu)

 Q. I cannot seem to get the "Print Method- "Printer Font" to work, and
    even though Draft is not selected, the output always appears in draft
    mode.

 A. You have selected the Generic printer driver from the "Print Setup"
    requester. Select the appropriate one for your printer and click OK.
    Then choose "Save Settings" (Settings menu) to permanently save the
    settings.

 Q. Does Wordworth support the extra fonts supplied in my printer' s font
    cartridge?

 A. Not at the moment. However, it is our aim to support as many printer
    fonts as possible and we are constantly expanding our range of printer
    drivers and fonts.

    If you own a font set that Wordworth doesn't support, we need to know
    the following information about the font: Its name, sizes, styles, the
    font width (metric tables) for each character, and the control codes
    to select them. This information is printed at the rear of most
    printer/font manuals, and so you may wish to consider loaning us the
    manual for investigation.

 Q. I have just purchased the very latest in printer technology, but
    Cannot find a printer driver to match, help!

 A. Digita do not write printer drivers. It's best to contact a PD
    library).

 Q. When printing my outline fonts using the "Print Method"-Normal, I get
    the message 'Error: Not enough memory'.

 A. Check that you have correctly set the printer driver ("Print Setup"
    requester, Project menu).

    You will probably find that your printer driver is set to Generic. If
    a suitable printer driver for your printer does not appear in the list
    box, you will have to install the appropriate driver using the Add New
    Printer program (Ww3Install-1 disk).

 Q. I own a Daisywheel printer but do not seem able to get the graphics to
    appear on my printouts.

 A. You won't! Daisywheel printers cannot output graphics, only text. As
    with all printers, you will need to check their specification.

 Q. I cannot get any graphics to appear on my printouts, only text.

 A. Check your printer is capable of printing graphics and that you have
    selected the correct printer driver from the "Print Setup" requester
    ("Print Setup" command, Project menu)

 Q. When dumping graphics to the printer, all I get is garbage sent to the
    printer.

 A. You have not selected the correct driver for your printer. Check the
    "Print Setup" requester is properly configured.

 Q. I want to use a Serial Printer instead of the Parallel default. How do
    I change the settings.

 A. Click the Wordworth program icon and choose Information from the
    Workbench Icons menu. Select the (DEVICE=SERIAL) tooltype and delete
    the brackets, press the Return key and click Save.

    Now start Wordworth as normal.

commands; such help is context sensitive.

CONTROL KEY
-----------
 A specific key on Amiga keyboards that produces control characters when
used in combination with other keys.

COOL LINKS
----------
 A command on the Amiga which lets you link the files from two

no effect when clicked.

DOCUMENT WINDOW
---------------
 The window that displays a document image or a document opened from disk.

DOUBLE CLICK
------------

it.

DRAFT
-----
 When printing, the draft mode of a printer is the fastest, but the lowest
quality.
