================================== 1. INSTALLATION ================================== This section presents information on installing new filters. 1.1 FILTER INSTALLATION If the filter is an update to a filter that is currently installed in your ALDUS.INI: a) Copy the filter file to the C:\ALDUS\USENGLSH\FILTERS directory replacing the old filter with the new filter (they should be named the same). b) Restart PageMaker or Persuasion. If this is a completely new filter for you: a) Copy the new filter file to the C:\ALDUS\USENGLSH\FILTERS directory. b) Edit your ALDUS.INI file in a text editor such as Windows Notepad. The ALDUS.INI is normally located in the C:\ALDUS\USENGLSH directory. c) Add an entry for the new filter. If adding a new import filter, add the new entry under the [AldusImports] section. If adding a new export filter, add the new entry under the [AldusExports] section. The following are sample entries for use with the filters that are found on the Drivers/Filters Pack #4. Copy the entry from below that matches your new filter into your ALDUS.INI under the appropriate section. Note: some filters have more than one entry, e.g. the Lotus 1-2-3 and the DCA/RFT import filters. [AldusImports] ASCII/ANSI Import Filter=ASCIIMP.FLT,TXT DCA Import=DCAIMP.FLT,DCA RFT Import=DCAIMP.FLT,RFT Excel Spreadsheet Import=EXCELIMP.FLT,XLS Excel Chart Import=CHARTIMP.FLT,XLC Lotus 1-2-3 Rel 1A (.WKS) Import=123IMP.FLT,WKS Lotus 1-2-3 Rel 2-2.2 (.WK1) Import=123IMP.FLT,WK1 Lotus 1-2-3 Rel 3 (.WK3) Import=123IMP.FLT,WK3 Symphony 1.0-1.01 (.WRK) Import=123IMP.FLT,WRK Symphony 1.1-2.0 (.WR1) Import=123IMP.FLT,WR1 Word for Windows 1.0 Import=WINWDIMP.FLT,DOC Word for Windows 2.0 Import=WNWD2IMP.FLT,DOC Samna Word Import=SAMAWIMP.FLT,SAM Table Editor Import=TEIMP.FLT,TBL Ventura Publisher Import=VPIMP.FLT,CHP XYWrite III Import=XY3IMP.FLT,DOC WordPerfect 5.0-5.1 Import=WP5IMP.FLT,WP5 [AldusExports] XYWrite III Export=XY3EXP.FLT,DOC WordPerfect 5.0-5.1 Export=WP5EXP.FLT,WP5 d) Save the ALDUS.INI as a text only ASCII file. e) Restart PageMaker or Persuasion. 1.2 IMPROVING PERFORMANCE Because PageMaker and Persuasion load each installed filter during startup, the more filters you install, the longer PageMaker's and Persuasion's startup time will be. We suggest, therefore, that you install only those filters you will typically use. But if you must install several filters, there is another option for accelerating startup. By making modest changes to the filter lines in ALDUS.INI, you can reduce startup time while still installing all the filters you need. To do this, open ALDUS.INI using the Notepad and type a semicolon at the beginning of the line for each filter entry you will rarely use. For Example: [AldusImports] ASCII/ANSI Text Import=ASCIIMP.FLT,TXT ;Rich Text Format (RTF) Import=RTFIMP.FLT,RTF ;Windows Word 1.x Import=WINWDIMP.FLT,DOC Table Editor Import=TEIMP.FLT,TBL When you restart PageMaker or Persuasion, these filters will not be loaded. When you want to use these filters again, remove the semicolon from the filter lines in ALDUS.INI, and then restart PageMaker or Persuasion. ========================================= 2. FILTER INFORMATION ========================================= Word for Windows 1.x Import Filter - WINWDIMP.FLT (.DOC) This filter was revised to solve a problem that occurred when importing long documents and it now supports documents saved in the Word for Windows 1.0 format from Word for Windows 2.0. This filter does not support Word for Windows 2.0.
