- README.TXT: LETTERHEAD.PRO FOR AMI PRO FOR WINDOWS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Thank for your interest in Letterhead Pro. This program will install 16
- graphic sample letterheads, 6 logos, and 1 watermark into Ami Pro for
- Windows. Each letterhead will also have a macro that installs the letterhead
- into any Ami Pro document. Of course, you must have Ami Pro for Windows
- installed prior to the installation of Letterhead Pro.
-
- The installation program is in two stages, DOS and Windows. The INSTALL
- program MUST be started from DOS by placing the diskette in a floppy drive and
- typing INSTALL. Do NOT call up Windows and execute the RUN command. After
- completing the necessary DOS portion of the installation, Ami Pro for Windows
- will be called up with the instruction document LETPRO.SAM on screen.
-
- LETPRO.SAM contains instructions on how to use Letterhead Pro. You will be
- shown how to order your own customized letterhead, logo, and watermark. It is
- a Ami Pro document and must be viewed and printed from inside Ami Pro.
-
- You should print LETPRO.SAM so you may use it as a guide when displaying and
- printing the Letterhead Pro letterhead examples. All instructions, worksheets,
- and order forms are included. If you only want to copy your current letterhead
- into a graphic image for Ami Pro, it is necessary to read and print LETPRO.SAM.
-
- You may design your own letterhead, convert your present printed letterhead,
- or have CPI Software design a letterhead for you. CPI Software will place this
- design into a graphic PCX format, add a macro, and return it to you. The price
- for each letterhead, logo, or watermark is only $29.95 plus shipping.
-
- If the printer you are currently using will print Ami Pro graphics, it
- will print graphical PCX letterheads. This includes laserjets, ink jets, and
- dot-matrix printers. You do NOT need special printer drivers or any add-ons to
- place a customized professionally created letterhead on all your Ami Pro
- documents. Ami Pro for Windows and Letterhead Pro are all you need.
-
- Before starting the installation, refresh yourself on whether you used the
- Complete or Custom installation when installing Ami Pro for Windows. If
- you do not remember, then locate the path to the macro files (files ending
- with .SMM), graphic or drawing files (files ending with .SDW), and Ami Pro
- document files (files ending with .SAM). Use the Custom installation for
- Letterhead Pro and type in the path data when prompted.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Letterhead Pro may be installed in one of three ways. It may also be removed
- from your hard disk (uninstalled) using the CLEANUP command below.
-
- 1. Standard Installation:
-
- The installation corresponds to the Ami Pro for Windows COMPLETE installation.
- This installation program placed the macros into the \AMIPRO\MACROS directory,
- and the graphics in the \AMIPRO\GRAPHICS directory. The document files are in
- the \AMIPRO\DOCS directory. If you did not make any changes in the directory
- locations since installing Ami Pro with the COMPLETE installation, then this
- is the method of choice.
-
- 2. Custom Installation:
-
- This installation will let you place the document file, the macros, and the
- graphics into any directory you wish. You must know the path to each of these
- directories. For example, if you placed all documents into a directory named
- "LETTERS" off the main "AMIPRO" directory on drive "C", then this would be the
- full path:
-
- C:\AMIPRO\LETTERS
-
- You will be asked: a. the drive letter, b. the path for document files (files
- ending with .SAM), c. the path for macro files (files ending with .SMM), and
- d. the path for graphic files (files ending with .SDW). If you are not sure
- how you had installed Ami Pro, then use this method. Locate these files before
- the installation, and write down their proper path. Even if you used the
- COMPLETE Ami Pro installation, this method will work as long as you know where
- the files are located.
-
- You must be very careful that you type in the path correctly. The CUSTOM
- installation will take your absolute word for the locations of these files.
- If you make an error, you may have to wait until Ami Pro comes up, EXIT from
- Windows, and try again. If the files are deposited in the wrong directory,
- simply run the CLEANUP.EXE utility to remove them.
-
- 3. Manual Installation:
-
- This method does not use the Letterhead Pro INSTALL program, but it must be
- done exactly as follows:
-
- a. Locate where the Ami Pro document files, macro files, and graphic
- files are on your hard disk.
-
- b. From the INSTALL disk, copy these files into the proper directory:
-
- 1. DOCS.EXE into the documents directory.
- 2. MACROS.EXE into the macros directory.
- 3. GRAPHICS.EXE into the graphics directory.
-
- c. DOCS.EXE, MACROS.EXE, and GRAPHICS.EXE, are self-extracting files. You need
- only to type their names and strike the ENTER key, and the Letterhead Pro
- file(s) will be extracted from them.
-
- d. A utility by the name of CLEANUP.EXE will be placed into each directory
- with the Letterhead Pro files. When you are through using Letterhead Pro,
- run CLEANUP.EXE to seek out and remove every file that was installed.
-
- e. After extracting all files from the above files, call up Windows and click
- on the Ami Pro icon. After Ami Pro comes up, open the LETPRO.SAM file.
- Read and print the LETPRO.SAM file as instructed.
-
- UNINSTALLING LETTERHEAD PRO
-
- The installation places the file CLEANUP.EXE into every directory where
- Letterhead Pro files have been placed. When you wish to remove all installed
- Letterhead Pro files, do the following:
-
- a. From Windows, go to the Program Manager and click on FILE. Then click on
- the RUN command. On the RUN menu, click on BROWSE. Double click on the drive
- letter (ie., C:\). Find the Ami Pro directory and double click the mouse.
- Double click on each subdirectory. When you see the CLEANUP.EXE file, click
- on it. Select OK to return to the RUN menu, and click on OK. Follow the
- instructions in CLEANUP. The CLEANUP utility will remove all files in that
- directory, as well as itself. You may have files in up to 3 directories that
- will have to be removed with CLEANUP.EXE.
-
- b. From DOS, go into the directories where you have installed files and find
- the CLEANUP.EXE file. At the DOS prompt, type:
-
- CLEANUP and strike the ENTER key
-
- You will be asked if you want to uninstall all Letterhead Pro files in that
- directory. Select 1. to remove all files. This will seek out every installed
- file and remove it, including CLEANUP.EXE. You may find CLEANUP.EXE in up to
- 3 different directories. Wherever if is found, Letterhead Pro files are
- present and should be removed.
-
- CPI Software also distributes Letterhead Pro for WordPerfect for DOS, Letter-
- head Pro for WordPerfect for Windows, Letterhead Pro for Word for Windows,
- Letterhead Pro for WordStar for DOS, and Letterhead Pro for WordStar for
- Windows. In addition, Laser Letterhead plus and The Laser Letterhead Kit are
- available specifically for laser printers. We have been designing letterheads
- for business and personal use since 1987.
-
- Thank you again, and enjoy your experience with Laser Letterhead Pro.
