THANK YOU Thank you for downloading MR. NUDGER. We hope you enjoy it. You may distribute the unregistered version of MR. NUDGER freely, provided that you distribute both MRNUDGER.XLA and the accompanying README.WRI file (this File) and README.TXT file, which include the License Agreement. You are bound by the terms of the License Agreement when you use the software, so please read the License Agreement following these notes. INSTALLING MR. NUDGER Place MRNUDGER.XLA in any directory. In MS EXCEL 5, select Tools|AddIns. From the AddIns dialog, choose Browse and do just that until you find MRNUDGER.XLA in the directory you placed it in, then double-click on its name or single-click the name and choose Okay. When you see MRNUDGER.XLA added to your list of AddIns, make sure that its checkbox is checked: that will load it. Choose Okay to exit the Add-Ins dialog. You should see a 17-button toolbar. The leftmost 8 buttons, light blue (cyan) arrows, are for nudging. The next 8 buttons, the dark blue arrows, are for resizing. The rightmost button summons the Mr. Nudger dialog, which allows nudging and resizing by any amount. All the buttons display ToolTip Help captions and StatusBar text to describe their functions by simply moving the mouse over them. WHAT IS MR. NUDGER? Mr. Nudger is a 17-button toolbar that makes nudging and reisizing drawing objects a breeze. Just select your drawing object and click a button. There are 8 toolbar buttons for nudging UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT by 1 or 2 pixels. As well, there are 8 toolbar buttons for making your drawing objects TALLER, SHORTER, WIDER or THINNER by 1 or 2 pixels. The rightmost toolbar button summons the Mr. Nudger dialog. For speed's sake, Mr. Nudger's dialog opens with only the current selection listed in its dropdown list. If you wish to make changes to several drawing objects in one fell swoop, click the button captioned: << Read All Drawing Objects On The ActiveSheet >>. Mr. Nudger will then take a moment or two to read all the drawing objects present on your ActiveSheet. Click the dropdown list, select an object there, and you'll see the object's size/position properties displayed in the appropriate edit boxes. In Mr. Nudger's dialog, use the spinners or enter new values directly in the edit boxes. Check or uncheck the checkboxes to manipulate only the properties of interest to you. Click << Apply>> to make the changes, << Exit >> to leave the dialog, << Help >> to display Online Help, and, of course << Register >> to register the product. If you accidentally enter a negative value, the absolute (positive) value of that number will be used. If you enter text instead of numbers, you'll get a beep and the affected value will be reset to the drawing object's original value. Mr. Nudger is written for 640 by 480 resolution, wherein a pixel equals .75 of a point. There is no such thing as nudging/resizing an object in other than multiples of .75. When you enter a number that is not a multiple of .75, Mr. Nudger will automatically convert it to the next closest multiple of .75 for you...so worry not. 100% VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATIONS Mr. Nudger is written 100% in Visual Basic For Applications. Mr. Nudger makes no calls to the Windows API, working entirely within the environment provided by MS Excel 5. SUPPORT An online Help-file is built into the product. Any questions or problems?
