ANT_DEMO.DOT Demo version of the two Ant programs: ______________________________________________________________________________ ANT_HTML.DOT Version 2.1 Word 6.0 to HTML Conversion Utility & ANT_PLUS.DOT Version 2.1 Word 6.0 To HTML PLUS HTML to Word 6.0 WYSIWYG Conversion Utility (or HTML To ASCII or to any other format available in WfW 6.0) Each of the templates works in both WORD FOR WINDOWS AND WORD FOR MACINTOSH in International Versions of Word 6.0 ANT_DEMO.DOT is available at ftp.einet.net/einet/pc ______________________________________________________________________________ This demo program demonstrates the tools and features of the ANT_HTML and ANT_PLUS templates. Descriptions of those programs are provided below. ______________________________________________________________________________ The ANT_HTML.DOT template is designed to work within Word 6.0 to facilitate the creation of hypertext documents. HTML codes can be inserted into any new or previously prepared Word document or any ASCII document. All the ANT_HTML tools are represented in the ANT_DEMO template. The ANT_DEMO also includes other features which are only available in the ANT_PLUS template described below. ______________________________________________________________________________ The ANT_PLUS.DOT template, in addition to all the tools in the ANT_HTML template, also includes: ~ The HTML to WYSIWYG utility (described below) ~ A feature which simplifies the creation of forms ~ A tool to convert "special characters" (e.g. cedillas, umlauts, etc.) ~ The means to create .DOC, .ASCII, RTF or other files from HTML files. ~ The means to make hard copies of HTML documents with the tags removed. After clicking the HTML to WYSIWYG Tool on the far right of the toolbar so that the document is properly coded, you can easily remove the codes, if you like, while maintaining the formatting. You may convert the file to ASCII text or to any other format listed in the "Save File As Type" options box. (Open Word and select File, Save [or File, SaveAs]. At the bottom of the dialog box, click on the File Save As Type "down arrow" to view the list.) By pasting the contents of any HTML document into a new Word 6.0 document based on the ANT-PLUS template, you can easily and automatically convert the file into a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get environment by clicking the HTML To WYSIWYG Tool. The program does not currently support nested lists, although non-nested lists of all varieties are supported. The template converts all HTML headings to the appropriate sizes, converts all styles, as well as bolds, italics, special characters, etc.. The template displays HTML tags as red, hidden text and displays URL entries as bright blue and underlined. Hard copies of HTML documents can be easily obtained with ANT_PLUS. After clicking the HTML To WYSIWYG Tool, just choose the "Zap Macros In Entire Document" entry from the Ant Tools menu. A WYSIWYG document without HTML tags can then be printed. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABOUT THIS TEMPLATE... The ANT_DEMO.DOT template is designed to provide a sampling of the other Ant programs. Unlike some other demonstration programs, it's not timed to self-destruct or shut down after a predetermined number of days. Instead, the Ant demo permits you access to all the tools but frequently inserts harmless notes into the document along with the HTML tags. (Naturally, the complete programs do NOT insert any notes.) Since the ANT_DEMO.DOT template is for demonstration purposes only, it is hoped that you will enjoy evaluating the features and maintain a sense of humor while viewing some of the inserted notes. (One particular quote you may see in the HTML to WYSIWYG demo, though, is to be taken seriously. The Eskimo proverb, "Do not make Loon Soup", shall, I believe, forever remain sound advice. :-)) Were necessary, you can substitute the words, "ANT_DEMO" for the words, "ANT_HTML" when reading the tips in the Ant Instruction Guide. To see the demonstration of the HTML to WYSIWYG conversion utility which is provided in the ANT_PLUS template, click the HTML to WYSIWYG tool (on the far right of the Ant Toolbar). The demo will open the ANTDEMO.HTM file, copy and paste it into your current document and WYSIWYG it. ______________________________________________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE: Although the Instruction Guide contains many HTML tips and formatting suggestions, it is not intended as an instruction guide for HTML. If you are already familiar with HTML coding, the features will (I hope) seem "intuitive" and enable you to click on a tool and achieve the expected result. Basically, once the Ant template is installed... ... If you wish to experiment with creating a new HTML document, open a new .DOC file based on the Ant template, use the Ant Tools and click on the Convert and Save Tool. ... or it you wish to experiment with creating an HTML file from an existing Word .DOC file, just cut and paste it into a new .DOC file based on the Ant template, use the Ant Tools and click on the Convert and Save Tool. ... or it you wish to experiment with creating a .DOC file from an HTML file. just cut and paste the HTML file (it will be ASCII text) into a new .DOC file based on the Ant template. That's about all there is to it. (Caveat in the paragraph below:) It is suggested that you take the time to read the Tips and Notes section of the ANT.HTM Instruction Guide. It contains a number of helpful hints about working with HTML and the template in the Word for Windows environment. ______________________________________________________________________________ To install the ANT: 1. Copy all the files into the same directory or folder. (You may name it whatever you like and it can be anywhere; just so it’s NOT within any of your Word directories or folders.) 2. Open Word 3. Open the ANT_INST.DOC file and double-click the red button. The End. Note: You will be asked during the installation whether you would like to have a tool which attaches the Ant template to any document, automatically installed in the Standard toolbar in your Normal.Dot template. If you choose "YES", a tool with an "A" will be added to the Standard toolbar and will be readily available if and when you want to make an HTML document from a previously created .DOC based on Normal.Dot. (You can easily move the tool or delete it later, if you wish.) Just so you know, after double-clicking the red button, the Ant will automatically perform these tasks... ANT_DEMO.DOT and ANTDEMO.HTM will be copied to your Word Templates Directory/Folder. A file ANT_HTML.INI, recording the local information for your copy of the Ant, will be created in your Windows directory/Preferences folder. ______________________________________________________________________________ Note to users of non-English language versions of Word 6.0: The first time you make use of the Ant template, you will likely see a message asking "Save Changes to .DOT file?" (The .DOT file is the template itself.) Answer "YES" to this question so that the macros (the programming code) will be translated and saved in the appropriate language. If you answer "NO" to the question, the translation will be required each time you open any document based on the Ant template. ______________________________________________________________________________ Troubleshooting: If you have trouble installing, run the ToolsAvancedSettings command from the Tools/Macros/commands menu to make sure you have an entry for "USER-DOT-PATH" in your WINWORD6.INI (Windows) or WORD SETTINGS (6) file (Mac). ______________________________________________________________________________ More Notes : - The template works well with most Unix as well as Windows based HTML browsers. If you are using a Unix based browser and experience abnormalities, please contact the author at the email address below and include the name of your browser. - The templates are not represented to be perfect, nor to accommodate every HTML browser or every system. They are designed to make working with hypertext faster and easier. - The Ant Instruction Guide may be found in ANT.HTM. You may wish to create a directory for the guide and it's gifs. (There are many gif files depicting toolbar tools so, for faster loading, you can turn "Display Inline Images" off in your HTML browser if you wish.) - A .DOC version of the Instruction Guide (with hyperlinks, graphics and other Word formatting features) is available at no charge to all registered users of ANT_HTML and ANT_PLUS via email.
