To create new text, type in a name in the top box and enter the text in the bottom box.
To edit an existing Text document, click on Open Text, enter the name of the document (if the Text document is not in the same folder as HyperCard, you must type in the path name to the file) and hit Return. If HyperWrite finds the document, it will insert the name (including path) in the top box and the text into the bottom box.
To save the document you have created or edited, click on Save Text. Unless you specify a path for the saved text in the top box, it will be put in the same disk and folder as HyperCard. NOTE: Do not save an edited Text document under its original name. You must give it a new name, or send it to a different disk or folder.
To count the number of words in the document, click on Counter.
To print all the text in the big window (even if it doesn't all show on the screen), click on Print. This will take you to the Print report... dialog box. For best results, choose the following settings:
• Copies: (choose any number you want)
• Arrange fields in: columns
• Print text fields from all cards: With the current background
• Which fields: Selected background fields: loc text
• Print the names of: (select nothing here)
• Header: (click on the # icon -- it gives you the page number at the top of each page)
Then click on OK to proceed or Cancel to quit.

This version of HyperWrite vastly improves the printing capabilities of the stackware. Instead of just printing the screen, as the original version did, HyperWrite 1.1 is now able to print the contents of the entire big window of text.
To see how it does this, simply read the instructions in the Help file (you might have to write them down the first time you use it) for printing. Once you have done that, click on Print and print out this message (or any other Text Only file). We think you'll be pleased with the options available (like page numbers, multiple copies, etc.).

Please feel free to use and modify this stackware. We have not locked any portion (except for a couple of hidden fields that need Lock Text in order to be able to click them away -- and they're easy to unlock). If you make an improvement or add any new features, please upload it to GEnie and let us know at A.HINDS.
