What is the Classical Text Editor
What is the Classical Text Editor?

Classical Text Editor is a word-processor written for the special needs of scientific editions.

It contains facilities for working with critical apparatus and sigla.

Several apparatus and sets of notes can be defined. The indexing and referencing as well as the making up will be done by Classical Text Editor. Each apparatus or set of notes may be referenced through repetition of words contained in the text, as usual with critical apparatus, or through footnotes.

Classical Text Editor allows the text, along with the margins and the alignment, to be mirrored in a sophisticated way. It fully supports right-to-left text. Classical Text Editor lets you create any number of indices.

Windows 95/NT only: You may include objects such as graphics (by linking or embedding) in a Classical Text Editor document, which were created by another application, if that application supports OLE.

When using block align, if you don't want the superfluous space to be equally distributed between all words you can define positions in the text where it shall be inserted.

For each document there is a text window, a header and footer window and one window for each apparatus or notes.

Classical Text Editor uses True Type™ fonts only.

Introduction and First Steps

Creating a Classical Text Editor document

Create a new document by executing New from the File menu, or import an existing document in Rich Text Format by choosing Import from the File menu. Then invoke the Format Dialog by executing Format from the Options menu to set the page format, the numbers of notes and apparatus you need, their styles and preferences, the margin formats, etc. Of course, you may change any of these preferences later.

Editing

You can edit the text in two modes, between which you can change with Edit Mode and Made Up Mode in the Options menu. The edit mode allows you to use the whole window space and to edit margin text and text formatted as hidden. In made up mode you can do the syllable division.

To highlight parts of the text (in fact, the color will be inverted), either press the Shift key when using the keys for cursor movement, or press the mouse button at one end of the text to be marked and release it at the other end, or set the caret to one end and click at the other end while pressing the Shift key. Mark whole words by double-clicking them, whole paragraphs by double-clicking while pressing the Shift key.

There are four bookmarks you may use to navigate through your text. Set them by pressing Shift, Control and the corresponding number key (1 to 4). Return to your mark in whichever window by pressing the Control key plus the number key.

If, e. g. after an operation involving the repositioning of paragraphs, the screen should not be updated properly, use the Windows menu's Refresh command or press F8.

Updating the References

While editing the text window, changes that concern the apparatus and notes are monitored. References that seem no longer valid are marked with a ‡ sign and can be found (Shift + F9 or Find|Find Dirty) and updated later.

The footnote numbers, index and line numbers of the references in notes and apparatus are NOT updated on the fly. So before printing your document you should execute Update All References from the Edit menu.

Recommendations for Quick and Easy Work

Try to constitute your text before adding notes and apparatus. This will save you the time to update all the obsolete references.

When you begin to work with a text, e.g. when you import it from a RTF-file, start with chapters and margins. Working with a document will get much faster, when chapter or margin texts appear from time to time in the text. If you don't need either of them, insert some empty margin text blocks.

When editing a text for which notes and/or apparatus have already been entered, don't switch much between the text window and other windows of the same document. Every time you do so, all the changes you made in the text window will have to be applied to all notes and apparatus (regardless if visible). That's just wasting time and nerves.

When adding new notes or apparatus entries, work whenever possible with just one note and/or one apparatus window open. So you won't have to specify each time you make a new entry the number of the window into which it shall be made.

If you use numbered footnotes, it may be preferable to enter them before you enter the apparatus. This is simply because footnote numbers cause a change of the text which makes it necessary to update the apparatus.

Disable kerning for screen output, especially if you use italics. Thus the screen will be updated faster and you will avoid eventual partially overwritten italic characters.

Create and use Autotext shortcuts for frequently repeated text.

Above All

SAVE YOUR DOCUMENT ALL TEN TO TWENTY MINUTES !  It's just pressing Ctrl+S. Every time you save, the last version will be conserved in a backup file, which takes the file name and the extension ".~ct". If your document should get corrupted: Quit without saving, delete the document and rename the backup file by giving it the extension ".cte".

BACKUP YOUR WORK EVERY EVENING (or morning, depending on the time you use to turn off your computer). Don't let the file you work on be the only you got. Your hard disk might crash or even you might do something quite unexpected to your file and save twice so the backup file would be gone, too.

System Requirements

Environment:	16-bit version:	Microsoft Windows™ 3.1 or compatible

32-Bit version 	Microsoft Windows™ 95 or NT

Classical Text Editor has not been tested with Microsoft Windows™ 32s

Processor:	At least 80386; 80486 or higher recommended

Disk space:	3 MB plus three times the size of currently open documents.

At least one True Type™ font installed.

The installation of MultiKey is recommended.


Text Window

This window contains the main text.

References

To create a reference to a certain part of the text, mark it and choose from the Insert menu either Apparatus Reference (F5) or Note Reference (Shift + F5). The reference will be inserted into the currently open window of the specified type and that window will get active. If the chosen apparatus / notes contains footnotes instead of text references, a footnote will be inserted at the caret position.

References will cover whole words only. So your marking has in no way to be exact, just cover any part of the first and the last word. If you want to reference just one word, it is sufficient to place the caret there. If the reference is obvious from the context, you may hide it using the Reference Flag dialog. If the same word should occur more than once in a line and therefore indexing should get necessary, the reference will become visible again automatically (and be hidden again if indexing is no longer necessary). Do not hide a reference using the Hidden font style except if, in certain cases, you want to specify the reference manually. This may be useful if a change of font should be inevitable.

Besides those necessary references that connect your notes with the text, it is possible to create references to lines of text. To do so, set the caret in the notes / apparatus window to the position where the reference shall be inserted, then change to the text window again and posit the caret on that word whose line shall be referenced and choose Line ref. to app. (F7) or Line ref. to notes (Shift + F7) from the Insert menu. The new reference will be inserted and in the following updated with the other references. References that point to the same line as the entry in which they are found will not be printed but shown in edit mode as asterisks (*), formatted as hidden.

If you insert a space (or paragraph break) in the middle of a referenced word and thus divide it into two words, the reference will henceforth point to the second word. Spaces and paragraph signs themselves are treated as belonging to the word which precedes them. So in most cases it will be more useful to insert new spaces before, not after a word.

Chapters

Chapter numbers will be used for referencing in headers, footers, apparatus and notes and for line numbering. To create them, type the number (or string), mark it and choose Chapter from the Insert menu.

If you don't want the chapter number to be printed in the text just in the form you want it to be used in references, change its format to hidden. If you want just the line numbers, specify a single space character.

The line in which a text marked as chapter text is found will be numbered as the first line of the chapter.

Margins

At any place of your text you can enter text to be displayed at the margins. Choose Inner Margin or  Outer Margin from the Insert menu (Be sure the window is in Edit mode). Type the margin text in the colored part of the text. Margin text that fits into a single line will not interfere with line numbering; line numbers will be skipped. If you define longer margin text, it is on you to prevent single instances of margin text from interfering with each other and with line numbering.


Header and Footer Window

This window contains the headers and footers for each section in the following order:

Left Header

Right Header

Left Footer

Right Footer

To insert a reference to the chapters shown at the current page (or double page), choose Note Reference from the Insert menu.


Apparatus Window

This window contains an apparatus. Each paragraph corresponds to one entry.  Nevertheless, on printing all entries belonging to the same page will be gathered into a single paragraph. An empty paragraph will show up as a paragraph break in the printout.

Every number will be interpreted as a manuscript identifier. To insert numbers that are no manuscript identifiers, use the Alt Key in combination with the numeric keys.

To insert a siglum, choose Siglum… from the Insert menu or press F3.

To find an entry whose corresponding part of the text has changed, choose Dirty Reference from the Find menu or press Shift + F9. The text window's, if open, caret position will be synchronized.

To update a reference right now and eventually clean the ‡ sign, choose Clean Reference from the Edit menu or press F9.

It is not recommended to format whole entries as hidden. Doing so will cause difficulties in the print-out: Line references preceding a hidden entry will themselves be hidden. If you override this by setting the references format to definitely not hidden, all line references will show up, but this can lead to "empty" references, if no visible entry applies to this line.

Solution: If you don't want to delete entries not needed for printing, create a new apparatus not intended for printing and move these entries there (Using copy and paste).

See also: Sigla and Manuscripts.


Notes Window

This window contains notes on the text. Each paragraph corresponds to one entry.  Nevertheless, on printing all entries belonging to the same page will be gathered into a single paragraph. An empty paragraph will show up as a paragraph break in the printout.

To find an entry whose corresponding part of the text has changed, choose Find Dirty from the Find menu or press F2.

To update a reference right now and eventually clean the ‡ sign, choose Clean Reference from the Edit menu or press F9.


Print Window

This window shows the text as it will be printed.

Use the scroll-bars or the arrow keys to view different parts of the page (Windows 3.1 version: Only the keys on the numeric keyboard with NUMLOCK set to on will work). Use these keys in combination with the Ctrl key to scroll by page.

Use the Page Down key or the arrow down button to get the next page.

Use the Page Up key or the arrow up button to get the previous page.

You can zoom in or out using the Windows menu's Zoom command.

This dialog box lets you change the current font, font size and font attributes.

Empty fields and grayed checkboxes indicate, that default values are to be used, which will in most cases be those of the paragraph's default font. White checkboxes indicate, that the item is definitely unselected. This is useful for searching characters for unselecting a font style which is selected in the corresponding default font.

Font

Lets you enter the name of the desired font.

Font Style

Lets you enter font styles like italic or bold.

Size

Lets you enter the size of the font (in points, you may use one decimal).

Strikeout

Hidden

Lets you create hidden characters.

Position

Lets you define the position of the characters relative to the line (in points, you may use one decimal). Negative values will result in superior characters.

Spacing

Lest you produce wide or low spaced characters. The distance to the following character will be affected.

Right-to-Left

Lets you define right-to-left text.

Not Italic

Lets you define a font as definitely not italic. This is useful for searching characters or if the corresponding default font is italic.

Not Bold

Lets you define a font as definitely not bold. This is useful for searching characters or if the corresponding default font is bold.


Preferences
Preferences Dialog Box

Menu: Options | Preferences.

This dialog box lets you set general preferences.

You may select the colors used by Classical Text Editor to distinguish different types of text. Hidden text is marked through the text color, all other types through the background color.

Kerning

Many True Type™ Fonts include kerning data. This options let you specify how the Classical Text Editor uses them.

Min. Font Size

Specify the minimum font size with which kerning shall be used. Kerning will occur only on fonts whose size is equal to or exceeds this number. Specifying a number higher than any font used in a document will virtually disable kerned printing.

Use on Screen

You may disable kerning to appear on your screen for two reasons:

) 	Screen output may be slowed down markedly due to the processing of kerning-pairs.

) 	Kerned characters may be partially overwritten.

Disable this option to avoid these problems (the screen output of kerned fonts may become more than double as fast).

Auto MultiKey

If this option is selected and MultiKey is installed on your system, your keyboard mode will change automatically according to the current font. Diacritical marks can be added to each character without having to delete and re-enter the character first.

Draw Objects

If checked, linked and embedded objects will be drawn as they will be printed.

Uncheck this option if drawing all objects slows down your system.

Minimum space between single notes / apparatus.

Break if Free

If the specified amount of vertical page space would be unused, it will be tried to break some apparatus entries to the following page in order to print an additional line of text.

Print Notes

The method according to which free vertical space on the page will be distributed:

Top	The notes / apparatus follow immediately below the text.

Bottom	The notes / apparatus are printed on bottom of the page.

Equal	Free space is distributed evenly between the text and the single notes / apparatus.

Standard

Makes the actual settings default for all new documents.


Paragraph
Paragraph Dialog Box

Menu: Edit | Paragraph.

This dialog box lets you change the attributes of the current paragraph. All measures are cm if not mentioned otherwise.

In order to produce optimal mirroring, the paragraph margins are given relative to a bounding rectangle that can be mirrored on odd pages.

From Margin

Distance between the inner (left) margin of the page and the bounding rectangle.

Bounding Width

Width of the bounding rectangle.

Left

Distance from the left margin of the bounding rectangle to the left margin of the text.

Right

Distance from the left margin of the bounding rectangle to the right margin of the text.

Indent

Indent of a paragraph's first line.

Align

Alignment of the text.

Before

Additional space before a paragraph (in points).

After

Additional space after a paragraph (in points).

Line

Line spacing (in points).

If you don't want the line spacing to increase to give room to a larger font, check the Exactly check box. Otherwise the given value is interpreted as the minimum line spacing.

If you want the line spacing to follow the font heights, enter the value 1 and uncheck the Exactly check box.

Font

The paragraph's default font.

Page Break

If checked, the page will be broken at the bottom of the paragraph.


Notes / Apparatus Settings
Notes / Apparatus Settings Dialog Box

Menu: Options | Format, "Templates", "Settings".

This dialog box lets you change the settings for notes or apparatus. All measures are in cm if not mentioned otherwise. Changes concerning the shape of references will not show up immediately but the next time the references get updated (to do so, choose Update All References from the Edit menu).

Style

Text Reference

References will be indicated by repeating the referenced words in the notes. This is the default setting for critical apparatus.

Footnote numbers

References will be indicated through numbered footnotes. The numbers and number styles (1, i, I, a, A) can be chosen for every individual note by executing Reference from the Edit menu when the caret is in the text window.

Separator Line

Choose the width of the separator line printed above the notes / apparatus (0.0mm for no line).

Above

Distance between the separator line and the notes / apparatus text (in points).

Left

Distance from the left margin of the bounding rectangle to the left margin of the separator line.

Right

Distance from the left margin of the bounding rectangle to the right margin of the separator line.

Strings

In the following five fields you may use special control characters.

End of Reference

Characters to be printed after each entry of the notes / apparatus.

Between References

Characters to be printed as separators between single entries.

Between Lines

Characters to be printed as separators when the entries to a new line begin.

E. g., if you enter "^s^=|^#^= " (without the quotation marks), the entries to single lines will be separated by a | character, positioned exactly the middle of the free space. All available free space in the printed line will be assigned to these locations, and the | character will not be printed if it came to stand at the end of a line.

After Line Number

Characters to be printed between the line number and the entries for that line.

From…To

Characters used in references as indicator for an omission.

Fonts

Use the text font for references

If checked, the default font of the text window as well as its right-to-left style (but not any other style) will be used for the words referencing the text. All other text, as line numbers, indices and brackets, will appear in the font of the apparatus itself.

Indices

Font of the index numbers used in references.

Line Nrs.

Font of the line numbers (used on printing).

Footnotes in Text

Font of the footnote numbers as they will appear in the text.

Footnotes in Notes

Font of the footnote numbers as they will appear in the notes.

Print

None

Neither chapter nor lines will be printed in the apparatus. That is, you will have to provide all reference information yourself. Use this function if you intend to use a given verse numbering in prose text (as in the bible). You may then specify the verse number manually in the first entry to each verse or specify a chapter text for each verse and use the following setting. The later procedure may be automatized, if every verse is contained in a paragraph of its own.

Chapter

Chapters, but not line numbers will be printed in the apparatus. You will use this choice if you edit a text consisting of metrical lines, some of which break into the next line, which renders numbering the lines actual lines not useful. You will then define a chapter text for each verse and indicate the line numbers as margin text using automatic paragraph numbering.

Chapter and Line

Chapters and line numbers will show up in the apparatus automatically. This will be the usual choice, fitting for most prose texts, which have no widely recognized verse numbering.

Mss. List

If checked, this apparatus will serve as a manuscript indicator. That includes, that any text preceding the first reference entry will be treated as information of mss. presence and will not be printed. If this option is not checked, the text preceding the first reference entry will be printed in the apparatus.

" " betw. Sigla

If checked, spaces will be inserted when automatically building adjacent sigla.

¶ on Page Break

If this option is checked and a page contains notes continued from the previous page, the notes for the current page will start with a new paragraph.

MultiKey

MultiKey is a program designed for facilitating keyboard input under Windows, especially for Eastern Europe, Old Greek, Hebrew and Arabian fonts.

MultiKey can be accommodated to provide useful keyboard layout for any font. Is has been designed especially for Ancient Greek diacritic marks, but keystroke combinations for other fonts can easily be defined. MultiKey supports right-to-left input.

For information not included here, please consult the documentation shipped with MultiKey.

Adjusting MultiKey for Use with Classical Text Editor

You may customize which fonts the MultiKey dialog box will contain and in which order they will show up. To do so, open the "MultiKey.ini" file in the Windows directory, and add a new section named "[Alias]". In this section, list all fonts you want to show up in the Classical Text Editor MultiKey dialog (as invoked by F12), followed by an "=" sign and the name (which for most fonts will be the same). If more than one font share the same keyboard layout this procedure enables you to use them all without changing the other sections. So, e.g. you might write

[Alias]

Garamond=Times New Roman

Times New Roman=Times New Roman

:

If "Times New Roman" is the MultiKey default font, you will not have to specify aliases for it (especially if you use "Auto MultiKey", see below), because the keyboard mode will be set to the default font if there are no tables specified for the current font. However, you may decide to include such aliases just to access some fonts more easily via the MultiKey dialog.

If Auto MultiKey is activated, the keyboard mode will be adjusted every time you change the font. If not, to change the keyboard mode, you will have to use the MultiKey dialog (F12), the system menu of the MultiKey icon or the MultiKey keyboard shortcuts.

Rich Text Format
Rich Text Format (RTF)

The RTF (Rich Text Format) allows to move formatted text between different applications. Most editors will export this format. Classical Text Editor can import texts in RTF, but due to restrictions in the RTF itself, Classical Text Editor data cannot be re-exported to RTF.


The current reference may be:

In the text window: the first footnote in the selected part of the text, or, if no text is selected, the first footnote after the caret.

In any apparatus or notes window: the reference which belongs to the paragraph which contains the caret, or any reference between the caret and that reference.


The current object is the first object in the selected part of the text, or, if no text is selected, the first object after the caret.

Manuscript Listing

An apparatus can serve to keep overview of the manuscripts existing for the current part of the text.

The following standards need to be fulfilled:

1)	In a paragraph before the first reference entry list all mss. that start with the beginning of the text after a [ sign.

2)	Throughout the text, indicate where ms. begin or end in references to the affected words:

[<Mss. numbers>	Mss. begin

<Mss. numbers>]	Mss. end

3)	Activate the Mss. List checkbox in the Settings dialog box for the apparatus.

When printing the apparatus, the mss. that exist for beginning of the page will be listed first.

You can mix this type of entries with other apparatus entries. Nevertheless, it is recommended to use an apparatus of its own just for this purpose.


Sigla and Manuscripts

The following refers to apparatus only. What here is called manuscripts, can, of course, be other types of text sources, too.

Manuscripts are entered as numbers. So, if you want to use Classical Text Editor's sigla facilities, you will first have to number your source texts. Of course, these numbers need not show up in your final printings.

When specifying mss. in an apparatus window, you may give additional information's to any mss. number in round brackets after the number. Separate mss. belonging to the same block with commas.

Example:	151, 154 (sic!), 158.

On building sigla this information will be shown in brackets after the siglum, with the specified mss. number.

Example:	If the siglum "A" is defined as "151, 154", the above string will become

A (sic! 154), 158

If a siglum contains but one ms., the number will be omitted ["A (sic!)" instead of ("A (sic! A)"].

You may use the following specifiers after the ms. number without brackets:

vl., ac., pc., ic. sl. mg.

When building sigla, such expressions will be treated as separate mss., unless defined otherwise in the Edit Sigla dialog box, that is,

"151, 154pc." will be built to "A",

-	if "A" is defined as "151, 154p" or "151, 154ip",

-	but not if "A" is defined as "151, 154".

Defining Sigla

Define sigla and their mss. in the Edit Sigla dialog box. Each ms. can apply to more than one siglum. When automatically building sigla, sigla which stand first the list are used first. So if you define the same ms. in more than one siglum, it will in most cases be most useful to order the sigla according to the number of mss., with the biggest first.

It is also possible to specify a ms. for one siglum, but certain corrections of it in another (See on ms. input).

If you don't want to print your document with numbers as ms. identifiers, simply define for each of your ms. a siglum of its own, besides and after the sigla for mss. groups.

A Siglum's shape

A siglum consists at least of one ore more characters in a freely definable font (and in the apparatus' default style, size and position). Further characters can be appended; they will appear in the apparatus' default font, but (relative) size and position are definable. Define the shape of your sigla in the Edit Sigla dialog box.

Inserting Sigla into the Document

When in an apparatus window, press F3 or choose Siglum from the Insert menu. The Sigla dialog box will appear.

Automatically Build Sigla

To (re-)build the sigla / ms. numbers block next right to the cursor, choose Build next block from the Edit | Sigla menu.

If you choose Build all from the Edit | Sigla menu, all blocks of mss. in all apparatus windows will be scanned and rebuilt using the actual sigla table.

Resolve Sigla

To solve the sigla / ms. numbers block next right to the cursor, choose Solve next block from the Edit | Sigla menu.

If you choose Solve all from the Edit | Sigla menu, all sigla in all apparatus windows will be resolved.

Deleting Mss.

When you delete mss. you don't want to use any longer, you can do so automatically by choosing Delete Mss. from the Edit menu. The mss. in question will be removed from all sigla for which they were defined and all instances of them in all apparatus will be deleted. If in the course of this process an entire mss. block gets empty, three exclamation marks are inserted at this place. Search for the string “!!!” to detect these cases and to do the necessary cleanup.

Missing Mss.

If for any siglum a "Want" value less than 100% is specified, this siglum will be built even when not all mss. are present. Missing mss. will be listed in round brackets with a minus sign preceding.

Example:	If "A" is defined as "151, 152, 153" with a "Want" of less than 67%,

The block "151, 152" will be built to

"A (-153)"

The list of missing mss. will be scanned for possible sigla, too:

if "B" is defined as "153" (and appears after "A" in the sigla list), the above string will be replaced by

"A (-B)"

You may use this format for input, but do not insert spaces before or after the minus sign (If you do so, the minus sign will be treated as a note to the ms.).

Complex Bracket Expressions

If additional information and missing mss. are mixed, the latter must stand first.

So, given the definition above

"A (-151; pc. 152)"	is equivalent (and can be solved to)

"152 (pc.), 153"

Block Format

When automatically building and resolving sigla, individual font formats, such as italics or hidden, are naturally lost. The whole block will receive the format of the space character preceding it. Additional information in brackets (other than excluded ms.) will retain its formats, except if these are equal to the paragraph format of the apparatus. So e. g. if the apparatus paragraph format is set to "not bold" and any portion of text in brackets is formatted as "not bold", this text is formatted like the whole block when built automatically. That is, if the whole block becomes bold, the formatted text will become bold, too. To retain the text not bold even if the whole block becomes bold, turn the "not bold" option of the apparatus paragraph format off.

See also: Mss. Listing


Manuscript List Input

When entering a list of manuscripts in an edit field of a dialog box, just type a list of numbers separated by commas or spaces. If you want to denote not the ms. itself but a certain corrector or so, enter one or more of the following characters, which resemble abbreviations in the apparatus text, immediately after the number:

v	varia lectio	vl.

a	ante correctionem	ac.

p	post coorectionem	pc.

c	inter correctiones	ic.

s	supra lineam	sl.

m	in margine	mg.

i	This character denotes the pure number and may be specified in combination with the characters above.

When building and resolving the sigla automatically, the abbreviations listed above to the right will be inserted in italics after the ms. number.

Note that if more than one character is specified, information will get lost when building the siglum: On resolving, the specified character which is first in the above list will be used. If an "i" is specified, too, the pure number will be restored. Use such combinations only where specific information need not be preserved or shall explicitly be removed.

a)	"A" is defined as "150sm"

"150mg." will be built to "A" and this resolved to "150sl." --- Not really useful.

b) 	"A" is defined as "150im"

"150mg." will be built to "A" and this resolved to "150" --- Could be useful.

There exists an alternative method, which lets you both specify corrections and build ms. to sigla without loosing information: When editing the apparatus, add the abbreviations in round brackets following the ms. number: "150 (vl.)". Now this ms. will apply to all sigla which include ms. "151", and the additional information will be added to the siglum: "A (vl. 150)". See Sigla and Manuscripts.


Autotext

To create a Autotext shortcut for a certain text, mark this text and choose "Create Autotext" from the "Edit" menu. You will be requested to specify the shortcut to be associated with the text.

To retrieve the text, type the associated shortcut and choose "Autotext" from the "Insert" menu or press "F2". The shortcut will be replaced by the text, including all formats.

To edit or delete Autotext shortcuts, choose "Autotext" from the "Options" menu.


Mss./Sigla Blocks
Mss. numbers / Sigla Blocks

A mss./sigla block consist of one or more ms. numbers and / or sigla, terminated by a semicolon, colon, period, square bracket, closed round bracket or a paragraph end. Numbers have to be separated by a comma.

Example:	AF1Y 151, 152ac., 153.


Indices

Classical Text Editor supports the creation of two types of indices. Referencing will accord to page and line number so that references to the apparatus are possible, too.

If you just want an index comprising every word of the text (and maybe of some notes), just invoke the Index dialog (menu command: File | Index) and proceed with the Complete option.

If you want but some words or lemmata indexed, you will first have to define them. To do so, insert a command string (Menu command: Insert | Command string) at the appropriate position in the text. The string should follow this format:

i<number>:<text>

where <number> is the number of the index, and <text> the text to be indexed. Giving no number is equivalent to giving zero. Note that the zero index may be mixed with the complete index, see the Index dialog. Create the indices using the Index dialog (see above) with the Entries option.

All indices will be sorted according to standard rules and saved as text files. You may use any word-processor or database program to edit, format or resort the indices.


Registration

Order licenses from the author of Classical Text Editor. Include the exact name and organization, including dashes, periods etc., to which your copy of Windows is registered. You will obtain this information by opening the About dialog by choosing About from the Help menu. Then click on the Register button to open the Registration dialog. The text box in the middle of this dialog contains the relevant strings.

You will receive a registration number referring to these strings. Register your copy of Classical Text Editor by entering this number in the Registration dialog (see above). Your name should then show up in the About dialog box.

If you (and only you) use Classical Text Editor on more than one computer, include the strings of all involved systems.

The Classical Text Editor supports right-to-left text, that is you may use right-to-left text exclusively or mixed with standard text.

To format text as right-to-left, invoke the Font dialog box from the Edit menu.

If you format a whole paragraph as right-to-left, you will presumably justify it as "Right" or "Right Block". To do so, invoke the paragraph dialog box from the Edit menu.

If you use blocks of right-to-left text within left-to-right text, make it sure that the spaces surrounding the right-to-left text are formatted as left-to-right. Otherwise the text will not get justified correctly.

The caret keys, as well as the backspace and the delete key, work according to as the text is read.

Restrictions and Odds

It is not possible to use blocks of left-to-right text within right-to-left text.

While entering right-to-left text, the caret will remain before the next character (as usual), that is, if the caret is followed by left-to-right text, it will remain at the virtual "beginning" of the right-to left block.

It will not be possible to position the caret correctly by clicking at right-to-left text which is preceded by  left-to-right text in the same line.

Strange things will happen if differently running text is marked at the same time. In this case, do not rely on the color inversion to know what is marked and what not. Use the arrow keys and be precise!
