Running the Calendar Templates in
PhotoDeluxe 2.0 (PCW July 99)

There is a problem with running the Calendar templates from the July issue of Personal Computer World. The supplied zip file and following instructions will allow you to use these templates as intended.

• Unzip the supplied file CALENDAR.ZIP to your hard disk. It is recommended that you unzip the contents to a folder called CALENDAR on the root of the drive (i.e. C:\CALENDAR)

To create a calendar, you will need to carry out the following steps. Please note that these instructions describe a particular selected layout and style and you will have to adapt them according to your own requirements:

Important: Ensure that the July PCW disc is NOT present in the drive
• Run PhotoDeluxe 2.0
• Click on CARDS AND MORE from the menu
• Click on the CARDS AND CALENDAR tab
• Click the CALENDARS button
• Click the green CALENDAR tab
• Select either YEAR or MONTH depending on which type of calendar you wish to create (for this example, use YEAR).
• Next click the green YEAR tab
• Select the year you wish to the calendar to display (for this example, use 1999)
• Next click the green LAYOUT tab
• This will display the TEMPLATES menu - double click on the layout you prefer (for this example, use TALL/ABOVE)

A prompt will ask you to load the CD or to FIND FILE.
Do NOT insert the CD.

• Click the FIND FILE button and from the dialogue box that opens, navigate to the folder CALENDAR on the hard disk. (This was the folder you created when you unzipped CALENDAR.ZIP above).
• Navigate further within this folder to CALENDAR\LANG1\LAYOUT1. From this folder, double-click the file LAYOUT1.JPG. The file will be loaded to create the calendar layout of your choice.

(NB. The folder LAYOUT1 contains files relevant to the layout TALL/ABOVE, as used in this example. Other layouts require you to access a different folder i.e. the TALL/BEHIND layout can be found in LAYOUT2 etc.)

• Next click the green STYLE tab
• This will display the STYLE menu - double click on the style you prefer (for this example, use STYLE1)

Again a prompt will ask you to load the CD or to FIND FILE.
Do NOT insert the CD.
• Click the FIND FILE button and from the dialogue box that opens, navigate again to the folder CALENDAR on the hard disk.
• Navigate further within this folder to CALENDAR\LANG1\LAYOUT1\YEAR\STYLES\. From this folder, double-click the file STYLE1.JPG. The style will be applied to the layout.

(NB. Again the folder LAYOUT1 only contains files relevant to the layout TALL/ABOVE, as used in this example. Other folders contain different styles for different layouts.)

Once the style has been applied, you will want to add photos. If you wish to use the supplied SAMPLE photos, you will need to do the following:

• Click on the green ADD tab
• Select SAMPLE PHOTOS
• Double click on the photo you wish to use.

Again a prompt will ask you to load the CD or to FIND FILE. This time you MUST insert the July PCW disc and click on FIND FILE. (If the disc is present before you select your photo you will get an error).
• Navigate to <CD drive>\:PDART\SAMPLES and use the preview box to find your selected image. (It is recommended that you select an obvious image that is easy to find.)
You may be asked for a name for the CD, so that it can find it again in future. Type in "Photodeluxe" (without the quotes), observing the upper and lower case letters.

In future you will not need to select the file via the dialogue box - just have the CD ready in the drive when you double-click a photo.

Remember:
• DO NOT have the disc present in the drive when selecting layouts. This will cause the program to prompt you and prevent an error when it cannot find it on the CD.
• DO make sure the CD is present when you want to load a sample photo.
• Your own images will be stored elsewhere so you will need to use the dialogue box to access these.
