I have no responsible for any damage this program may cause !
Description:
************
Footer.arexx is an arexx-macro for Final Writer. This macro provides an easy
way of making footers when using Final Writer. However it is not a perfect
footer-tool and it is not totally automatic, but for my needs it seems to be
sufficient.
Requirement:
************
You need an Amiga computer that can run Final Writer, and you also need the
program Final Writer (big supprise). In order to run this macro, you must have
arexx installed on your system, and it must be running.
Installation:
*************
Copy the Footer.arexx file into you macro-drawer for Final Writer (or another
drawer you want to execute it from)
You must run Arexx to make this macro work. (You can simply do this by drag
the Arexx-icon into you wb-startup drawer.
How it works:
*************
You must remeber that this is not a very advanced footer-tool, but if you
follow my way of doing it, it will help you.
This is a short introduction to how to do it:
1. Start the Final-Writer program.
2. Use a new document
3. Write the sentence: "For many years now, I have been writing on a project
called CHAT"
4. Let the cursor stand behind the work CHAT (without a space)
5. Choose the menu USER, OTHER, AREXX SCRIPT
6. Execute the file Footer.arexx
7. A window will then pop up, and ask you to "Enter the footer number"
8. Enter the number "1" and press OK ("1" is also default)
9. Then another window will pop-up and ask you to "Enter the number of extra
footnote lines"
10.Enter the number "0" and press OK ("0" is also default)
11.Then a line will appear and the word CHAT with number will also appear.
12.You may then enter the text: "is an acronym for Conflict HAndling Tool-kit"
13.Use the arrow-keys to position the cursor at the first line of the document
and place the cursor behind the word "CHAT"
14.Write then: ". I have also done some work in a project called ACM"
15.Execute the Footer.arexx once again
16.Enter the number "2" and press OK
17.Enter the number "0" and press OK
18.Then enter the next footer text and so on...
The first footer (number "1") will allways draw a line and must be the first
footer. It is also important to let the spacing between the text and the
footer be the same all the time. If you press enter many times between the
text and the footer, it will all get messed up.
The requester "Enter the number of extra footnote lines" should be used if
a footertext is longer than one line. This function is used to ajust the
number of enters [CHR13] between the text and the footer.
BUGS
****
I don't know any bugs for the time being. The program does have some constrains,
but if these are followed it should work.
If you have questions, suggestions, positive/negative comments, please email
me:

I hope there is someone who finds the program useful!
