Please read the following information carefully because it is not
provided in the Timeworks Publisher User manual.
Ammendments to the user manual
==============================
Due to late developments in the software of this product, the
Timeworks Publisher User manual is incorrect in the following
areas.
Installation guide
------------------
Please note the following points when <Installing step by step>
1. <Modify an existing installation> is currently not
supported. If you need to change your setup then you must
perform a <New installation>.
2. For point 6 you should turn to the Appendix of the
installation guide for a list of compatible printers as a
list does not appear on the screen.
3. For point 9 highlight <Install> not <Save this setup and
install>.
Please restart your ST system before running FONTWID not when
its finished as the manual suggests.
Keyboard shortcuts
------------------
The keyboard shortcuts below should be used instead of those
listed in the section entitled ⌐Moving around the document¬ on
Page 205 of the User manual:
[Shift] [Left arrow] Move to the previous page
[Shift] [Right arrow] Move to the next page
[Shift] [Ins] Go to the first page of the document
[Shift] [Clr] Go to the last page of the document
Default style sheet
-------------------
For non hard disk users this style sheet can be found on your
STARTUP & OVERLAYS disk not on the DATA disk.
Defining a frame border
-----------------------
Read this section if you import bitmap images into Timeworks
Publisher. Bitmap images are produced by packages including Degas
and Neochrome and in formats including .PCX and .IFF files.
You may wish to import a bitmap image, such as the sample file
TIGER.IMG, and define it's border so that text can be flowed
irregularly around the shape of the image. If you intend to print
documents which use this feature, you must use an alternative
method of defining an irregular border. This alternative method
is described below:
1. Import the text and picture files that you wish to use and
place them in the required frames.
2. Position the frames as you wish them to overlap.
3. Select the frame containing the text and click on Bring to
front in the Page menu. This will move the text frame over
the picture frame.
4. With the text frame still selected, click on Frame tint in
the Options menu and select Clear from the Visibility box.
You should now be able to see the picture behind the frame
containing the text.
5. With the text frame still selected, click on Repel text in
the Options menu.
6. On the Repel text form, select Define border for the Left or
Right border as required. Now draw a border around the
picture which you can see underneath the text.
7. When you have finished drawing the border, double-click to
display the Repel Text form again. Check that Repel Text
This Frame is set On.
8. Click on OK to remove the Repel Text form. The text frame
now has an irregular border which traces around the picture.
You can reposition the frames and redefine the text frame's
border to improve the flow of text around the picture.
If you experience any difficulties using this alternative method,
contact Softline on 0480 496600 for assistance.
This alternative method is required to avoid a problem which is
caused by the Atari GDOS printer drivers. This problem will be
resolved when we receive the new printer drivers from Atari Corp.
Please complete and return your registration card to ensure that
you are informed when we have resolved the problem.
NOTE: Follow the instructions on Pages 141-144 in Chapter 5 of
the User manual to define irregular borders around pictures
which are NOT bitmap images.
Using Timeworks Publisher
=========================
To improve the performance of Timeworks Publisher, we suggest
that you do the following:
* Enable Hide all pictures in the Graphics menu so that any
pictures in your document are hidden. This will allow
Timeworks Publisher to work more quickly.
* Remove any desktop accessories that you are using.
* Ensure that the AUTO folder on your boot disk only
contains GDOS.PRG.
* Do not attempt to use FSMGDOS.
Symptoms of shortage of memory are as follows:
* During program startup, a message informing you of the
inability to load an overlay.
* When displaying a page, a message appears informing you
of a graphics display failure. This will occur if the
page contains an imported metafile or some graphic elements
drawn with the internal tools.
* When printing, some of the fonts you have chosen do not
appear or appear in a reduced point size.
Single and dual disk drive configuration are limited to the
basic set of fonts due to the limited space on the fonts disk.
Single and dual disk drive configurations cannot have more than
one printer installed because of the limited amount of space on
the fonts disk.
Non auto booting hard disk users will need to copy the ASSIGN.SYS
from the root of their hard disk to the root of their boot up
disk and make sure there is a copy of GDOS.PRG in the AUTO
folder.
All font sizes in the font selector with a small black circle next
to them are doubled up fonts and as such their print quality is
not as good as the other fonts.
Users of G+Plus are advised to turn off the 'Font Warning' feature
in the G+Plus Accessory as Timeworks Publisher does not load
fonts on printing that the page does not require. If it is
left on you will be informed of all the fonts not being used.
