Printer Drivers
IBM PERSONAL PAGEPRINTER:
When printing to the IBM Personal Pageprinter with Pageprinter Adapter
Software version 1.3.1 or later, we recommend that the Windows Spooler be
left on (in WIN.INI, SPOOLER=YES). Please refer to Windows documentation
for additional information about the Windows Spooler.
Import Filters
SMART ASCII IMPORT FILTER:
When using the "Monospace, Import as Courier" option in the opening dialog,
the "Retain Format" option must be checked on in the PageMaker "PLACE" dialog.
WORDPERFECT 5.0 IMPORT FILTER:
Small caps used in WordPerfect will import as small caps in PageMaker.
Only even font point sizes are supported.
Double hyphens (dashes) in WordPerfect will import as double hyphens in
PageMaker.
Font support has been improved to only add the fonts used in the
Wordperfect document to the PageMaker "TYPE SPECS" dialog box. You are,
however, still limited to the fonts specified in the Filter/Driver Pack
documentation. Because of this constraint, you must apply the attributes
you require (i.e. bold, italic, etc.) to the plain versions of the typeface
rather than choosing those as fonts.
WordPerfect supports character based styles, but all PageMaker styles are
paragraph based. The text will import with the proper formatting. The import
filter will allow you to choose whether or not to import the style sheet
definitions. If you do import the style sheets, keep in mind that the
definitions will come in to the "STYLE PALETTE", but they will not be tagged
to the text. You may apply the style sheets to the individual paragraphs
once you are inside PageMaker. Please refer to the PageMaker User Manual for
additional information on PageMaker Styles.

Import filters
==============
Filters allow you to transfer files between Aldus PageMaker and other applications. An import filter reads your file format, translates it, and lets you place a word-processing file, graphics, or other document in PageMaker.
This file includes instructions for installing the PageMaker import filters for WordPerfect 5.0 and Smart ASCII. It identifies features that are supported when importing documents and offers suggestions on how to use the filters. Additional information about importing files created in other applications can be found in the Pagemaker 3.0 Reference Manual.
Note: Users of the International English version of PageMaker will find additional information on filters and drivers in the PageMaker 3.0 Supplement instead of the Pagemaker 3.0 Reference Manual.
The WordPerfect import filter imports files created in WordPerfect 5.0 that have a .WP file extension. Files created in WordPerfect 4.2 are imported using a filter in PageMaker that is part of the PageMaker program. For more information about the WordPerfect 4.2 filter, refer to the PageMaker 3.0 Reference Manual.
With the new Smart ASCII import filter, you can control the format of your text-only files when they are imported. You use this filter to import files that have a .TXT file extension.
Installing the WordPerfect 5.0 and Smart ASCII import filters
You install import filters by copying the filter file you want to the PageMaker directory and modifying the WIN.INI file.
WIN.INI is essential for the proper operation of Windows and PageMaker. Always make a backup copy of your WIN.INI file before modifying it. For additional information on the WIN.INI file and how to make a backup copy, refer to "Appendix B: Customizing WIN.INI" in the PageMaker 3.0 Reference Manual. When working with your WIN.INI file:
* Be sure that your system has only one file named WIN.INI.
* Correct all typos when entering information in WIN.INI.
* Add the pathname to the filtername in the WIN.INI file if necessary.
* You may need to keep PageMaker and Windows on the same drive (for example, C:).
PageMaker can read a maximum of 10 import filters and 20 export filters. If you try to install more filters, PageMaker will display this message:
Cannot initialize filters.
Too many filters. Only the first ten will be used.
To correct this problem, open the WIN.INI file and delete the entries for the filters you don't need.
To install the WordPerfect 5.0 and Smart ASCII filters:
You can do this in Windows by highlighting the WIN.INI filename in the MS-DOS Executive window, choosing "Copy" from the File menu, and then typing a name, such as WINORG.OLD.
2. Copy the filter(s) into your PageMaker directory.
For WordPerfect 5.0 the filename is WP5.FLT.
For Smart ASCII the filename is ASCIIMP.FLT.
3. Open the WIN.INI file using Notepad or another word-processing application.
4. Scroll to the filters section ([PMFilters]) in WIN.INI.
If you do not find the filters section, you can create it by typing
[PMFilters]
as a section heading at the end of the WIN.INI file. Note that there are no spaces between the letters or brackets in the section heading name.
5. Add filter entries to the WIN.INI file.
For WordPerfect 5.0: Add the following entry to the [PMFilters] section: WordPerfect 5.0 Import=WP5,WP
For Smart ASCII: Add the following entry to the [PMFilters] section:
Smart ASCII Import=ASCIIMP,TXT
6. Save the newly modified WIN.INI file, then close Notepad (or your word-processing application) and Windows.
7. Restart Windows so that the changes to WIN.INI will take effect.
WordPerfect 5.0 feature import summary
======================================
Once you've installed the WordPerfect 5.0 import filter, you can import documents created in WordPerfect 5.0 into PageMaker using the "Place..." command.
Using style sheets
------------------
PageMaker imports WordPerfect files that have been formatted using codes and styles and retains most, but not all, of the WordPerfect formats. In addition, WordPerfect style definitions (style sheets) can be imported and used in PageMaker to format and apply styles to paragraphs. For each style imported, a carriage return is added at the end of of your document containing a WordPerfect style definition. These extra carriage returns can be deleted after the document has been placed in PageMaker.
As an alternative to importing style sheets, you can mark your document while in WordPerfect with style name tags to match styles defined in PageMaker. For more information about using style name tags, refer to the section on style sheets in the PageMaker 3.0 Reference Manual.
When you place a WordPerfect document containing WordPerfect styles, PageMaker displays a dialog box asking if you want t
