Introduction

Quick View Plus is a software product that gives you easy access to files created in over 200 programs, regardless of whether you have those programs on your computer. With Quick View Plus you can work effortlessly with files or parts of files created in the format of text, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, and graphics. You can:

View and print

Copy and paste with full formatting

Search for files and text

Zoom and rotate graphics

Transfer files and data between Windows, Macintosh, and DOS word-processing and presentation programs

View, decompress, and save individual files from archives without decompressing the archives

You can do all this with files already on your computer or with files downloaded, received, or copied from these sources:

Internet

E-mail

Groupware

Networks

Bulletin boards

When you run Quick View Plus as a standalone program, you have access to all its features. When you run it as an add-on from within other programs, you can view files and use many of its features directly from within those programs, rather than having to switch out of them and start Quick View Plus separately.

You can integrate Quick View Plus into the following programs and use it from within them:

File Managers

Windows Word Processors

World Wide Web Browsers

E-Mail Programs

Groupware

The installation program automatically installs Quick View Plus as a standalone program and integrates it as an add-on to your file manager. You can also have the installation program integrate Quick View Plus as an add-on to other programs on your computer. If you do this, you can view files and use many other features of Quick View Plus directly from within those programs; you dont have to switch out of them and start Quick View Plus separately.

Its useful to integrate Quick View Plus with as many programs as possible during installation. However, if you forget some, or later install new programs on your computer, you can always run the installation program again to integrate Quick View Plus with additional programs.

Removing integrations is even simpler. Quick View Plus includes an AddOn Manager that lists each program with which it is integrated. To remove an integration, simply start AddOn Manager and follow the instructions in Chapter 7.

Quick Tour
Chapter 2: Quick Tour

This chapter takes you on a quick tour of Quick View Plus and shows you how easy it is to display and work with files of various types in the view window. The tour uses sample files that are installed with Quick View Plus in the SAMPLES folder when you run the installation program as described in Installing Quick View Plus.

Starting Quick View Plus

Viewing Files in Rapid Sequence


Quick Tour: Starting Quick View Plus

1.	In Program Manager, double-click the Quick View Plus program group.

2.	Double-click the Quick View Plus program item.

Once youve displayed a file in the view window, you can display others in rapid sequence. This section uses a spreadsheet file and an archive file to show you how to do this.

To view a spreadsheet file

In the Files list, double-click the file SAMPLE.XLS.

The view window displays the file. Because this is a spreadsheet file, the menu to the right of the Options menu changes to Spreadsheet.

To view an archive file

In the Files list, double-click the file SAMPLE.ZIP.

The view window displays the file. Because this is an archive file, the menu to the right of the Options menu changes to Archive.

If you want to view the contents of a file in the archive, double-click the filename.

If you want to extract (decompress) one file, click the file you want to extract, and then, on the Archive menu, click Extract Selected File. If you want to extract more than one file from the archive, click the first file you want to extract. Then, to select a sequence of adjacent files, press the SHIFT key and click the last file in the sequence, or, to select a sequence of nonadjacent files, press the CTRL key and click each file.

On the Archive menu, click Extract Selected Files or Extract All Files. In the Choose Directory dialog box, enter the path to where you want to save the uncompressed files.

You can double-click any file to display it in the view window as described above. If you double-click the SAMPLE.XLS file, Quick View Plus displays the Spreadsheet menu to the right of the Options menu. If you double-click the SAMPLE.DB file, Quick View Plus displays the Database menu.

Understanding and Using the Quick View Plus Window

This section describes the Quick View Plus window and explains how to:

Select files for viewing

Change the order of the Files list

Select and use the three modes (Tree, Directory, and Find)

Restrict the Files list to specific file types

Configuring the View Window

The first time you start Quick View Plus as a standalone program, the right side of the program window displays the view window with the Quick View Plus logo in it, and the left side displays the Files list in Tree mode.

The Quick View Plus window has all the features of a standard Windows program (title bar and sizing buttons, main menu, and scroll bars) and the following toolbar buttons:

	Switches Quick View Plus to Directory mode.
	Switches Quick View Plus to Tree mode.
	Switches Quick View Plus to File Find mode.
	Deletes the selected file(s) after confirmation.
	Moves the selected file(s).
	Copies the selected file(s) to a new location.
	Views the selected file.
	Starts (launches) the program used to create the currently viewed file (if that program is available) or an associated program (if it is not), with the file ready for editing.
	Prints the currently viewed file.
	Copies the selected text, data, or graphic to the Clipboard.
	Pastes the selected text directly to your word processor. This icon is available only when using Quick View Plus as a macro from within Microsoft Word, Corel, WordPerfect, or Lotus AmiPro.
	Opens the Find dialog box so you can search for specific text in the currently viewed file.
	Finds the next instance of the text you specified in the Find dialog box.
	Finds the previous instance of the text you specified in the Find dialog box.


Selecting Files for Viewing

By default, if you want to view a file, you must double-click its name in the Files list. Single clicking selects only the name of the file and displays the name at the top of the view window. However, you can change this setting so that single clicking (or using the + (keypad) and - (keypad) keys to scroll through the Files list) displays the file in the view window.

To specify the number of mouse clicks that open a view window

1.	On the Options menu, click General.

2.	Under View file on in the General options dialog box, select one of the following option buttons:

Double click. With this option (the default), single clicking only selects the file and displays its name at the top of the view window, and you can use the + (keypad) and - (keypad) keys to scroll quickly through the file list without displaying each file. Double clicking displays the file for viewing.

Single click. With this option, single clicking displays the file for viewing. If you use the + (keypad) and - (keypad) keys to scroll through the file list, each file you highlight is also displayed in the view window, making scrolling slower.


Changing the Order of the Files List

By default, Quick View Plus lists files in alphabetical order in the Files list.

To change the order of the Files list

1.	On the Options menu, click General.

2.	Under Sort files by in the General options dialog box, select one of the following:

To list files ...	Click
Alphabetically by name from A to Z	Name
Alphabetically by extension from A to Z	Extension
From oldest to newest	Date & Time
From smallest to largest	Size
In the operating systems default order	None


Using Modes to List Files and Display the Directory Structure

You can list files and display the directory structure of your computer in different ways by using the three Quick View Plus modes, which are described in detail below:

Tree mode (default)

Directory mode

File Find mode

To switch to a different mode for listing files and directories

Do one of the following:

To switch to Tree mode, click the Tree mode button [image] or click Tree mode on the View menu.

To switch to Directory mode, click the Directory mode button [image] or click Directory mode on the View menu.

To switch to File Find mode, click the File Find mode button [image] or click File Find mode on the View menu.

When you select a directory, the Directories list displays a list of the subdirectories (if any) in that directory, and the Files list displays a list of the files (if any) in it. The directory itself is represented as a folder that contains an up arrow and is followed by two periods.

To display a list of files in a directory in Directory mode

In the Directories list, double-click the folder icon that represents the directory.

The folder icon opens, and the Files list displays a list of the files in the directory.

Restricting the Files List to Specific Types

If you want to view only files of specific types or with specific characters in their names, and you dont want to scroll through a long list, you can use wildcard characters (* and ?) to make the Files list show only the files you want. For example, by typing *, a period, and doc in the File Spec box, you tell Quick View Plus to display all files in the current directory that end with the extension doc. The asterisk represents any number of characters (zero or more), and the question mark represents exactly one character.

To restrict the Files list

1.	Do one of the following:

To switch to Tree mode, click the Tree mode button [image] or click Tree mode on the View menu.

To switch to Directory mode, click the Directory mode button [image] or click Directory mode on the View menu.

2.	Position the cursor in the File Spec box and type the appropriate characters before and after the period, including wildcard characters as needed.

3.	Press ENTER.

The Files list changes to display only the names of files (from the directory selected in the Tree list and the drive selected in the Drive box) whose names match your specification.

Finding Files

In File Find mode (available when you run Quick View Plus as a standalone program), you can search for files, rather than browse for them. You do this by using Find setups that contain your search criteria. Quick View Plus provides a default Find setup, which searches the current drive and directory for files matching the specification *.* (that is, it finds all files). You can:

Create and save Find setups

Select saved Find setups from a list

Change the default Find setup

Reset the default Find setup

Remove Find setups (except the default Find setup)

Displaying a Menu of File-Type-Specific Commands

When you open a view window, Quick View Plus displays a file-type-specific menu with appropriate commands for the type of file in the window. This menu is to the right of the Options menu on the main menu bar. If you open a file of a different type in the same window, the menu name and its commands change accordingly. This menu is also available as a context menu, which you open by clicking the right mouse button anywhere in the view window).

The names of the six file-type-specific menus are:

Document  for word-processing and text files

Spreadsheet  for spreadsheet files

Database  for database files

3.	Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each additional file you want to view.


Working with Multiple View Windows

Each torn-off view window has its own abbreviated toolbar with buttons for copying, printing, launching, and searching.

You can cycle among multiple view windows, and you can use the appropriate file-type-specific menu for each window. By using the Options command on that menu, you can also set different options for displaying and printing them.

The Clipboard options in effect for the main view window apply to all torn-off view windows. (For more information about customizing the Clipboard, see Customizing the Clipboard Format.)

Note	You cannot tear off a torn-off view. Closing Quick View Plus closes all torn-off views.

To cycle among multiple view windows

For details on file-type-specific commands, see Chapter 5. For information on setting options for displaying, printing, and the Clipboard, see Chapter 6.


Printing

You can print all or part of any file displayed in the view window. By default, Quick View Plus uses 10-point Arial for text, and it prints each page with a header containing the filename on the left and the page number on the right.

For details on changing these settings and customizing how Quick View Plus prints specific types of files, see Customizing Printing.

For more information about printing, see your Windows documentation.

To print a file from the view window

1.	On the File menu, click Print.

2.	In the Print dialog box, specify the print range, print quality, and number of copies.

5.	To print the file and close the Print dialog box, click OK.


Copying to the Clipboard

You can copy all or part of a file to the Clipboard and then paste it into another program. This is useful, for example, if you are exchanging spreadsheet files with someone who does not use the same spreadsheet program as you do. You can also copy objects created through object linking and embedding (OLE).

For details on copying to the Clipboard from specific types of files, see the sections on the appropriate file types in Chapter 5.

You dont have to take the extra steps of exiting or switching from Quick View Plus to Program Manager and starting the program from there.

To start the program used to create a file, Quick View Plus must recognize the file format and know the command that runs the program. During installation, you had the option of instructing Quick View Plus to search your local drives for information about installed programs and the commands that start them. If you chose not to do this, you can do it at any later time by customizing the launch options.

Note	If you try to launch a program for which Quick View Plus does not have the necessary information, the Launch Application Setup dialog box appears. For information about using this dialog box to give Quick View Plus the information, see Customizing the Launch Options.

For word-processing files, Quick View Plus supports the formatting features for viewing, printing, and copying to the Clipboard:

Microsoft Word styles  including paragraph and character styles.

Font  if the original font (with the same name) is on your computer. If it is not, the Windows font mapping system maps the font to the closest equivalent it can find. If no font information is available (as with text files and some DOS word-processing file types), Quick View Plus uses the default display typeface.

Text and paragraph formatting  including bold, italic, and underlining; line spacing and height; paragraph alignment, spacing, and indents; tab locations and types; nonbreaking spaces, hard hyphens, and dynamically inserted information (date, time, and page numbers).


Quick View Plus word-processing file features

Quick View Plus offers the following features to help you view and work with word-processing files:

Standalone version of Quick View Plus  You can run Quick View Plus as a standalone program directly from a menu in your word processor (see Starting from Windows Word Processors).

Viewing modes  You can view files in Draft, Normal, or Preview mode.

Single-step copying and pasting to your word processor  You can copy all or part of a viewed file, switch back to your word processor, and paste what you copied, all in a single step.

Tables  You can view tables, and you can copy entire tables, or individual rows or cells of tables, from the view window to Ami Pro, HTML, Microsoft Word for DOS 6.0, Microsoft Word for Windows, WordPerfect for DOS 5.x and 6.0, and WordPerfect for Windows. (For the latest list, see the README file.)

Graphics  The view window initially displays placeholders for graphics in word-processing files, but you can display graphics in a torn-off view (Embedded Object window) by double-clicking a placeholder. You can then select all or part of a graphic, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into Ami Pro, Microsoft Word for DOS 5.x and 6.0, Microsoft Word for Windows, Microsoft Works for Windows (word processor), Microsoft Windows Write, WordPerfect for DOS 5.x and 6.0, or WordPerfect for Windows. (For the latest list, see the README file.) You can also start the program used to create the graphic (if the program in on your computer).

Objects created with object linking and embedding (OLE)  You can copy OLE objects from the view window to Ami Pro, Microsoft Word for Windows, Microsoft Works for Windows (word processor), Microsoft Windows Write, and WordPerfect for Windows.


To select a viewing mode for word-processing files

On the Document menu or on the context menu (opened by clicking the right mouse button anywhere in the view window), do one of the following:

To display text with ...	Click
A single font (the default font, selected from the Display Options dialog box, reached from the Display command on the Options submenu of the Document menu), with character formatting (bold, italic, etc.), paragraph alignment, spacing, and tabs, but no embedded objects	Draft
All fonts, character formatting, paragraph alignment, spacing, tabs, and embedded objects	Normal
Line wrapping and page margins, including columns; all fonts, character formatting, paragraph alignment, spacing, tabs, and embedded objects; headers and footers	Preview


To copy quickly to your word processor in a single step

Note	If you have selected any portion of an open file in your word processor, the selection from the view window overwrites that portion of the open file.

After selecting the text you want to copy from the view window (or after selecting the entire file by clicking Select All on the Edit menu), click Paste to [Your Word Processors Name] on the Edit menu.

Quick View Plus switches to your word processor and pastes the selection to the current cursor position (or selection) there.

Note	If you select a section that contains a graphic or an OLE object and try to copy it to the Clipboard, only the text in the selection is copied.


Working with Tables in Word-Processing Files

When working with tables, note the following:

Quick View Plus uses rows, not columns, in tables. You cannot select a single column or group of columns in a table.

Each table cell is treated as a single character. The cell is the smallest unit of selection; you cannot select part of a cell.

Select an entire row

Select a cell

Copy a table into AmiPro


To select an entire row

Double-click in the row.


To select a cell

Drag the mouse from the left to the right cell border.

Ami Pro requires RTF as the Clipboard format for tables. When copying tables from a Quick View Plus view into Ami Pro, see To copy a table into Ami Pro.


To copy a table into Ami Pro

1.	In the view window, select the cell(s) and/or row(s) you want to copy.

2.	On the Document menu, click Options.

3.	On the Options submenu, click Clipboard.

4.	In the Clipboard Options dialog box, select the Rich Text Format check box.

5.	On the Ami Pro Edit menu, click Paste Special.

6.	In the Formats dialog box, select Rich Text Format.


Working with Graphics in Word-Processing Files

Normally Quick View Plus displays graphics placeholders at the location where graphics were placed in the file. However, when graphics were created or placed in a frame, these exceptions apply:

Microsoft Word  The graphic and its frame are displayed directly above the paragraph in which they were placed.

Ami Pro  If the frame is formatted as Flow With Text or With Paragraph Above, the graphic placeholder is displayed where the graphic was placed. However, if the frame is formatted as Where Placed, Repeat All Pages, or Repeat Left/Right Pages, Quick View Plus does not display it.

WordPerfect  Rotated graphics in WordPerfect are not rotated in Quick View Plus.

After displaying a word-processing file in the view window, you can do the following with any graphics it contains:

Copy all or part of a graphic

Print a graphic

Start the program used to create the graphic (if the program is on your computer)

When you copy graphics from word-processing files to the Clipboard, you must use To copy all or part of a graphic embedded in a word-processing file. You cannot copy graphics from word-processing documents directly from the Document view to the Clipboard. If you select a section of the viewed document that contains a graphic and try to copy it to the Clipboard, only the text in the selection is copied.
