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\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\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.  For example:

          ASCII/ANSI Import Filter=ASCIIMP.FLT,TXT

  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
=========================================

2.1 XyWrite III Import Filter - XY3IMP.FLT (.XYW, .XY3)

The XyWrite III import filter, by XyQuest Inc., lets you import files that 
are compatible with XyWrite version 3.54.  This filter now supports XyWrite 
style sheets.  The filter supports the following type attributes: bold, 
italic, underline, superscript, and subscript.  XyWrite III's reverse type 
option carries over to PageMaker as italic.  XyWrite III's bold-underline 
option carries over to PageMaker as underline.  This filter supports the 
following paragraph attributes: left, right, center and decimal tabs; 
paragraph indents; and left, right, center and justified paragraph 
alignment.  XyWrite III's indent paragraph (IP) command sets left and 
first-line indents that carry over to PageMaker.  Set all other indents in 
PageMaker or Persuasion.  Footnotes are also supported by the filter and 
are imported as endnotes.

The import filter converts only embedded, not default, commands. Therefore, 
if you have any formatting commands set up as defaults, you must embed them 
in your document if you want PageMaker to honor them.
