Hi!
This is a quick release of my Word 8 filter for PageStream 3 & 4
before I go off into the week.
The filter loads the main flowtext of Word 8 documents. This should
be Word 97-Word 2000 currently (I think). Complex (fast-saved)
files are currently not supported.
There are no real requirements. If your Amiga runs PageStream,
the filter should work. No FPU required this time. To install,
copy the file Word8.tfilter to SoftLogik:Filters and you're done.
It is a text filter only, so you must create an article, place
the text cursor in it and choose "Insert Text..." from the menu.
The filter currently does not load any text formattings. The
controls in the window should be self-explaining except maybe
"Apply Styles Only". If this option is enabled, the filter will
apply character and paragraph formats as they are in the original
Word document. That means you can quickly give large documents
the format of your choice by defining the same styles as in
the original Word doc.
Support for some special characters (typographical quotes,
ellipses, en- and em-dashes) is not yet finished, but the
most important chars should already be supported. An update
will follow.
Text formattings will be imported in a future version, as this
is apparently wished by many PageStream users. However, I only
can work on it on weekends, so please bear with me. Look for
Christmas/New Year as possible release if no problems occur.
If you've got trouble with it, contact me.
