- A number of people have requested to know how to change the default printer
- driver when starting 1st Word Plus. This can be achieved on both release 1
- and 2 of 1st Word Plus using the following methods.
-
- Release 1 1st Word Plus.
-
- In the directory $.resources.1wp of the 1st Word Plus program disc there is
- a file called 1wp_print which is the default printer driver that is loaded
- every time you start the package. This file should firstly be renamed to
- 1wp_print2 so that is can be retrieved if required at a later date. In the
- directory $.1wp.cfg of the 1st Word Plus utility disc you will find the
- variety of printer drivers that are supplied as standard with the package.
- The appropriate driver for your printer should be copied into the
- $.resources.1wp of the 1st Word Plus program and can renamed to 1wp_print.
- This will then be loaded every time you start 1st Word Plus up.
-
- Release 2 1st Word Plus.
-
- This is very similar to 1st Word Plus release 1 in that the original
- 1wp_print should be renamed and the appropriate driver should be copied from
- the utility disc to the program and and renamed to 1wp_print. The directory
- structure of the release 2 package is however different to release one and
- the appropriate files can be found in the following directories.
-
- The default printer driver can be found on the program disc in the directory
- $.!1stWord+ (this directory is entered by holding down shift while double
- clicking on the directory).
-
- The printer driver can be found on the utility disc in the directory
- $.1wp_print.config.
-

- card for the Archimedes, A3000 and the I/O Podule that has Midi fitted. The

- Further to the information in the April issue on the Acorn Font Packs. Acorn
- have now released a revised and extended version of the Selwyn(ZapfDingbats)
- font and includes Sidney(Symbol) font. The Selwyn Font on this disc
- contains a full set of 202 symbols; it can replace the subset of 96
- characters provided with the Acorn Desktop Publisher package. The Newhall
- Font pack contained three fonts in addition to those supplied with the Acorn
- Desktop Publisher package, these are Newhall.Medium, Newhall.Bold.Italic and
- Newhall.Medium.Italic. All the Font Packs include full information on how to
- update both the DTPconfig file for use with Acorn Desktop Publisher and the
- PSprolog file for use with the Acorn RISC OS !PrinterPS application for
- driving PostScript printers.

- When copying files between directories under RISC OS it is necessary with
- the default copy options to delete any file that has the same filename
- as file that are are copying into that directory. It is however possible to
- set the copy options so that a file will be overwritten when it is copied
- onto. The copy options should be set as follows:
