THIS FILE WILL REMOVE ALL TRACES OF LETTERHEAD PRO WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED. DO NOT TYPE "CLEANUP" AND STRIKE THE ENTER KEY IN YOUR WORDSTAR DIRECTORIES UNTIL FINISHED WITH LETTERHEAD PRO. IF YOU DO SO, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE LETTERHEAD PRO INSTALLATION PROGRAM. Thank you for your interest in Letterhead Pro. This program requires only that you have WordStar 7.0 or higher installed. Because the macro language was first released in WordStar 7.0, prior releases of WordStar may not be used. Letterhead Pro will set up 16 graphic sample letterheads, 6 logos, and 1 watermark into WordStar. Each letterhead and the watermark has a macro that installs it into any WordStar document when the macro is activated. After the initial installation is completed, WordStar will automatically be called up with a document entitled LETPRO.DOC on screen. (It does not contain the same information as this file.) LETPRO.DOC contains instructions on how to use the installed macros, as well as instructions for designing and ordering your own customized letterhead, logo, and watermark. LETPRO.DOC is a WordStar 7.+ document and must be printed from inside WordStar. You may use LETPRO.DOC to guide you through the display and printing of the letterheads. The document was set up using COURIER 10cpi so that it would print the order form and other items correctly on almost any printer. You will be shown how you may obtain your own customized graphic letterheads. All instructions, worksheets, and order forms are included. You may design your own letterhead, convert your present printed letterhead, or have CPI Software design a letterhead for you. CPI Software will place this design into WordStar's graphic PIX format, add a macro, and return it to you. If the printer you are currently using will print WordStar graphics, it will print graphical PIX letterheads. This includes lasers, ink jets, and dot-matrix printers. You do NOT need special printer drivers or any other add-ons to place a customized professionally created letterhead on your WordStar documents. WordStar and Letterhead Pro are all you need. Before starting the installation, refresh yourself on whether you used the Normal or Custom installation when installing WordStar. If you do not remember, then locate the path to the macro files, graphic files, and WordStar document files. Use the Custom installation for Letterhead Pro and type in the path data when prompted. INSTALLATION Letterhead Pro may be installed in one of three ways. It may also be removed from your hard disk (uninstalled) using the CLEANUP command below. This BBS install program is an "Anywhere to Anywhere" installation. When you download the BBS ZIP file, it may be unzipped in any directory or drive in your computer, and installed directly from that directory or drive. The only condition is that it may not be installed to the same directory where you downloaded it. In other words, do not unzip the file in the C:\WS directory and then attempt to install it into the C:\WS directory. If you have already done this, copy the zipped file to another directory, and then unzip and install Letterhead Pro. 1. Normal Installation: This installation corresponds to the WordStar default installation, where all the documents, are in the \WS directory, macros are in the \WS\MACROS directory, and graphic images are in the \WS\INSET directory. If you did not make any changes in the directory locations since installing WordStar with the normal installation, then this is the method of choice. Unzip the downloaded file, type INSTALL and strike the ENTER key. Follow the onscreen instructions for the normal installation. 2. Custom Installation: This installation will let you place the document files, the macros, and the graphics into any directory you wish. You must know the path to each of these directories. For example, if you placed all documents into a directory named "DOC" off the main "WS" directory on drive "C", then this would be the full path: C:\WS\DOC You will be asked: a. the drive letter, b. the path for document files, c. the path for macro files (files ending with .WSM), and c. the path for graphic files (files ending with .PIX or WSG). If you are not sure how you had installed WordStar, then use this method. Locate these files before the installation, and write down their proper path. Even if you used the normal WordStar installation, this method would work, if you know where the files are located. 3. Manual Installation: This method does not use the Letterhead Pro INSTALL program, but it must be done exactly as follows: a. Locate where the WordStar document files, macro files, and graphic files are on your hard disk. b. After you unzip the downloaded file, copy these files into the proper directory: 1. PRO.EXE into the documents directory. 2. MACROS.EXE into the macros directory. 3. GRAPHICS.EXE into the graphics directory. c. PRO.EXE, MACROS.EXE, and GRAPHICS.EXE are self-extracting files. You need only to type their names and strike the ENTER key, and the Letterhead Pro file(s) will be extracted from them. d. When the files are extracted, the file CLEANUP.EXE is used to remove all Letterhead Pro files from the directory (see below) at a later time. CAUTION: Do not activate this file by typing CLEANUP and striking the ENTER key until you are finished using Letterhead Pro. CLEANUP.EXE removes all Letterhead Pro files, and you would have to repeat the installation to use the Letterhead Pro program. e. After extracting all files, call up WordStar. When WordStar is on screen, open the LETPRO.DOC file. Print the LETPRO.DOC file just as you would print any WordStar document. Use the LETPRO.DOC instructions to guide you through the printing of the letterheads. Then use the Worksheet and Order Form to obtain your customized letterheads, logos, and watermark. UNINSTALLING LETTERHEAD PRO The installation places the file CLEANUP.EXE into every directory where Letterhead Pro files have been placed. When you wish to remove all installed Letterhead Pro files, simply go into any directory and type: CLEANUP and strike the ENTER key You will be asked if you want to uninstall all Letterhead Pro files in that directory. After pressing the ENTER key, you will be asked to confirm your selection and all installed files will be removed, including CLEANUP.EXE.
