- README.TXT: LETTERHEAD PRO FOR WORDSTAR 7 AND HIGHER
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This README.TXT file may be printed from inside WordStar or at the
- DOS prompt with the PRINT README.TXT command or TYPE README.TXT > PRN
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: WHEN YOU INSTALL LETTERHEAD PRO FILES, A FILE NAMED CLEANUP.EXE IS
- PLACED IN YOUR WORDSTAR DIRECTORIES. THIS FILE WILL REMOVE ALL TRACES OF
- LETTERHEAD PRO WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH USING IT. DO NOT TYPE "CLEANUP" AND
- STRIKE THE ENTER KEY IN YOUR WORDSTAR DIRECTORIES UNTIL FINISHED WITH
- LETTERHEAD PRO. IF YOU DO SO, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE LETTERHEAD PRO
- INSTALLATION PROGRAM.
-
- Thank you for your interest in Letterhead Pro. This program requires only
- that you have WordStar 7.0 or higher installed. Because the macro language
- was first released in WordStar 7.0, prior releases of WordStar may not be
- used. Letterhead Pro will set up 16 graphic sample letterheads, 6 logos, and
- 1 watermark into WordStar. Each letterhead and the watermark has a macro that
- installs it into any WordStar document when the macro is activated.
-
- After the initial installation is completed, WordStar will automatically be
- called up with a document entitled LETPRO.DOC on screen. (It does not
- contain the same information as this file.) LETPRO.DOC contains instructions
- on how to use the installed macros, as well as instructions for designing
- and ordering your own customized letterhead, logo, and watermark.
-
- LETPRO.DOC is a WordStar 7.+ document and must be printed from inside
- WordStar. You may use LETPRO.DOC to guide you through the display and
- printing of the letterheads. The document was set up using COURIER 10cpi so
- that it would print the order form and other items correctly on almost any
- printer. You will be shown how you may obtain your own customized graphic
- letterheads. All instructions, worksheets, and order forms are included.
-
- 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 WordStar's graphic PIX format, add a macro, and return it to
- you.
-
- If the printer you are currently using will print WordStar graphics, it
- will print graphical PIX letterheads. This includes lasers, ink jets, and
- dot-matrix printers. You do NOT need special printer drivers or any other
- add-ons to place a customized professionally created letterhead on your
- WordStar documents. WordStar and Letterhead Pro are all you need.
-
- Before starting the installation, refresh yourself on whether you used the
- Normal or Custom installation when installing WordStar. If you do not
- remember, then locate the path to the macro files, graphic files, and
- WordStar document files. 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. Normal Installation:
-
- This installation corresponds to the WordStar default installation, where
- all the documents, are in the \WS directory, macros are in the \WS\MACROS
- directory, and graphic images are in the \WS\INSET directory. If you
- did not make any changes in the directory locations since installing
- WordStar with the normal installation, then this is the method of choice.
-
- 2. Custom Installation:
-
- This installation will let you place the document files, 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
- "DOC" off the main "WS" directory on drive "C", then this would be the full
- path:
-
- C:\WS\DOC
-
- You will be asked: a. the drive letter, b. the path for document files,
- c. the path for macro files (files ending with .WSM), and c. the path for
- graphic files (files ending with .PIX or WSG). If you are not sure how you
- had installed WordStar, then use this method. Locate these files before the
- installation, and write down their proper path. Even if you used the normal
- WordStar installation, this method would work, if you know where the files
- are located.
-
- 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 WordStar 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. PRO.EXE into the documents directory.
- 2. MACROS.EXE into the macros directory.
- 3. GRAPHICS.EXE into the graphics directory.
-
- c. PRO.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. When the files are extracted, the file CLEANUP.EXE is used to remove all
- Letterhead Pro files from the directory (see below) at a later time.
- CAUTION: Do not activate this file by typing CLEANUP and striking the
- ENTER key until you are finished using Letterhead Pro. CLEANUP.EXE
- removes all Letterhead Pro files, and you would have to repeat the
- installation to use the Letterhead Pro program.
-
- e. After extracting all files, call up WordStar. When WordStar is on
- screen, open the LETPRO.DOC file. Print the LETPRO.DOC file just as you
- would print any WordStar document. Use the LETPRO.DOC instructions to
- guide you through the printing of the letterheads. Then use the Worksheet
- and Order Form to obtain your customized letterheads, logos, and
- watermark.
-
- 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, simply go into any directory and type:
-
- CLEANUP and strike the ENTER key
-
- You will be asked if you want to uninstall all Letterhead Pro files in that
- directory. After pressing the ENTER key, you will be asked to confirm your
- selection and all installed files will be removed, including CLEANUP.EXE.
-
-

- Letterhead Pro for Word for Windows, Letterhead Pro for WordPerfect for DOS,
