Infobase Library - 98CF Version (Free CDs)

to this CD set, Infobase Library is now on the Internet. To access the Infobase
Library on the Internet, go to www.ldsworld.com and click on Infobase Library.

SOFTWARE ENHANCEMENTS
Many of the enhancements included in this update resulted from user input.  We
welcome your suggestions regarding additional or improved features.  Send your
enhancement requests to [e-mail].

Navigation Bar Speed
The navigation bar has been optimized for speed. The increased speed will help
you navigate to and within works much more quickly.

Scroll Bars on the Navigation Bar
You will notice the addition of scroll bars in several locations throughout the
software.  Specifically, scroll bars have been added to the Navigation Bar pull-
down menus to aid in quick access to works.

Backtrack
The backtrack feature has been enhanced to track view and text window position
as you navigate backwards.

Reading 2 View
Any two works can be viewed at the same time using the Reading 2 view. When
using the side-by-side view, navigation, search, and backtrack features will
respond to whichever window your cursor is in.

Move Bookmark
This highly requested feature allows you to move an existing bookmark without
the multi-step process of deleting and re-adding.

This feature allows you to use the Goto command within the Infobase Library
program to start an initial instance or to reactivate an already started
instance of your word processor.

library are listed below.

file and instructions will be e-mailed to you. (space required: 660 MB)

copying this library to your hard drive.  In order to do so you will need a new

Sound
This release of the Infobase Library supports several new event sounds which can
be individually enabled, disabled, or changed by using the standard Windows
Control Panel Sounds icon. You can also include these sounds in what is called a
sound scheme, along with all of the other sounds that are assigned to your other
Windows programs.
To enable, disable, or change which sounds are played for each event in the
Infobase Library, simply do the following:
1) Go to the Start button on your Windows TaskBar.
2) Select Settings from the Start menu.
3) Select Control Panel from the Settings submenu. The Control Panel window will
open.
4) Select the Sounds icon in the Control Panel window. A dialog window will open
entitled Sounds Properties. A list of applications and their corresponding
events will be listed.
5) Use the list's scrollbar to locate the Infobase Library application events.
6) For each event listed, you can enable, disable, or change the assigned sound
file. You can also preview the sounds before you make your final selection. Use
the Browse button to locate and specify which file you wish to use. Use the name
fields combo box (pull down list) to select the option (None) to disable the
event sound.
Note: When a sound is assigned to an event, a little speaker icon will appear to
the left of the event name. When an event has been disabled, the speaker icon
will be removed from the event name.
7) Once you have finished making changes to your events, press the OK button on
the dialog to save your changes.
The next time you run Infobase Library, it will use the new sounds that you have
assigned.
Infobase Library supports the following events:
Open Application
Close Application
Maximize Application
Minimize Application
Restore Application Down
Restore Application Up
Select Bookmark
Select Button
Select Folder
Select Highlighter
Select Link
Select Note
Select Popup
Select Search
Select Tag
Track
The Extras directory on the installation disc contains additional sounds that
can be used. Any Windows compatible .wav file can be used with the Infobase
Library events.

Saving Shadow File
If you are the type of user that will be using the personalization features
(notes, highlighters, bookmarks) extensively, you will want to make a back-up of
the files named LDS98.sdw, byustudy.sdw, and Classics.sdw.  Your back-up should
not be in the same directory and ideally should be external. If you have a back-
up of these files and have need to reinstall the program, you would simply copy
your back-up over the re-installed files of the same names and your
personalization of the 98C version would be restored.  NOTE: These files from
98A/B cannot be used to move personalization to 98C libraries.

Changing Text Background to White
When using the Infobase Library, you may notice that there are watermarks or
graphics behind the text. Because some users may wish to eliminate these images
and view only a white "page", we have included several files on the Set-up CD
which make such an arrangement possible. To install these files, follow the
instructions below.
1) First, once the program has been installed on your machine, locate the image
files on your hard drive. To do this, find the directory where the Infobase
Library is installed (the default is \program files\infobase\infobase library).
Inside this directory there is a folder called "images". There will be one
folder of images called "common" and at least one other folder (either "small",
"medium", or "large"). Note which size or sizes of images were installed.
2) Insert the Set-up CD. When the installation menu opens, click on "exit". Open
"my computer" and explore the CD drive. Open the file called "extras" and then
the file called "images". You will notice three folders: "small", "medium", and
"large". You will only need to copy those files onto your hard drive matching
the size images installed on your machine. Open the correct folder, select all
the files, and choose to copy. Then open the folder on your hard drive where the
Infobase Library is installed. Open the "images" folder, then open the "small",
"medium", or "large" folder depending on which images you have ready to paste.
Paste these files. Windows will ask if you want to replace the existing files.
Choose yes. Repeat the process as necessary (i.e. if there is a "small" and a
"medium" folder on your hard drive in the Infobase Library "images" folder, you
would need to install the "small" files from the Set-up CD and then the "medium"
files. You would not need to install the "large" files.)
3) To bring the picture images back, simply reinstall the program.  If you will
be reinstalling the program and want to save notes, highlighted passages, and
bookmarks that you have entered, please follow the instruction for saving Shadow
File Listed above.

Views Interface Install
The custom interface developed for Infobase Library is truly a graphic user
interface.  If you are familiar with LDS Collectors Library '97 and prefer it,
you may want to install the Views interface.  To install the Views interface,
insert the Set-up CD, (choose 'exit' when the install automatically launches)
click start, click run, and type "x:\views\setup.exe" where "x" is the letter of
the CD-ROM drive. Proceed through the installation. Once installation is
complete, there will be a new icon on the desktop called "Infobase Library
Views". Insert the appropriate data CD and double-click on the "Views" icon to
begin.

Regarding Install and Uninstall
Infobase Library (98C) will install to a file called "Infobase" within the
Program Files directory.  Previous versions installed to "Infobases".  If you
have personalized your 98A/B, you will be able to continue to use that program.
If you have not and would like to uninstall 98A/B, simply use the uninstall
utility located in your Windows control panel.
