             USING DOCUMENT CONVERSION MANAGER
             =================================

Document Conversion Manager works on the basis that there is a
preferred work-station WP, and that the work-station may be
receiving documents created by other applications, which need to
be converted dynamically as they are needed for editing or
viewing. 

If the work-station WP is a Windows application that supports DDE,
and will act as a server to Document Conversion Manager, then the
application may be activated, and the converted document loaded,
ready for viewing, printing and editing.

Launching documents is controlled through the Document Conversion
Manager file selection screen. To access this screen, click on the
Document Conversion Manager icon. The resulting screen provides
directory browse and file selection, and displays the current
path, the output path for converted documents, the work-station
WP, and a check box indicating launch or non-launch of converted
documents. 

Document Conversion Manager is seamlessly integrated with Windows,
and does not need to be run from its icon, for conversion to be
effected.  

Use File Manager         Using File-Manager to select an
                         "Associated" document will automatically
                         convert and load the document. 
    
E-Mail attachments.      Documents attached to E-Mail notes can be

                         Document Conversion Manager. Click on the
                         attachment to automatically convert and
                         launch the converted document. 
    
Use DCM.                 Click on the Document Conversion Manager
                         icon, and use the standard file selection
                         procedure to locate, convert and launch
                         documents.
    
          Document Conversion Manager running from its icon 
          is not dependent on any file/application associations
          being setup. Document Conversion Manager will
          automatically determine the document type, convert it
          to the work-station WP, and if required, activate the
          application and launch the document. 
    
Change WRITER.           If you have installed multiple WRITERS,
                         and need to change the work-station WP: 
                      -  Press SETUP 
                      -  Select a new WRITER 
                      -  Press CLOSE 

          Remember, changing the WRITER may require a 
          change to the Font Map or the READER Controls. 


           SETTING UP DOCUMENT CONVERSION MANAGER
           ======================================

                UNIPLEX  READER  SETUP
                ======================

Your Uniplex documents should contain basic layout information
describing :    
           -  the page size and orientation.    
           -  page margins.    
           -  base font, pitch, and/or height.  

Pages should be terminated with an end page dot command. 
All available Uniplex fonts should be correctly entered into
UPXFONT.INI, and mapped to the required Target Typeface.
Information on how to do this is provided later in this section. 

If your Uniplex documents contain vector graphics line-draw, you
must have a scaleable, fixed pitch line-draw font available in
your target word-processor.

Document Conversion Manager will create styles for : 
  -  Each different ruler contained within a document. 
  -  Text that is not adjusted to the current ruler. 
  -  Text that contains regular line-draw. 
The application of Styles is controlled through the WRITER
Controls setup.  

Uniplex Defaults     If the page description and default font
                     information is not present in the source
                     document, the page size, print margins and
                     font information can be pre-defined.  
                     Document Conversion Manager defaults to the 
                     following parameters :  
    Font name        Font =  FX-Normal 
    Font size        Size = 12pt 10 pitch This value is used where 
                     a font size is not defined within your
                     documents, or a font size is not defined
                     within UPXFONT.INI 
    Paper size       Paper =  A4, portrait orientation 
    Print margins    Margins =  Printer crop areas. These values
                     are set at the default printer crop areas at
                     install time.
                     These values do not change if a new printer
                     is selected. These values can be changed to
                     conform to the Uniplex system print defaults. 
    Default ruler    Document Conversion Manager will use a
                     default ruler that contains sufficient
                     increments to span the printable width at the
                     default font. 
Printer instructions If your Uniplex documents contain printer
                     control strings to enable font changes, these
                     control strings must be setup in UPXFONT.INI.
                     If they are not mapped, they will be ignored,
                     which may lead to incorrect formatting and
                     pagination. 

        N.B.         We recommend that Uniplex document print
                     margins be set at, or close to, the printer
                     crop margins when converting documents
                     containing graphic line-draw.



Line-draw            Uniplex line-draw graphics may be :
                 -   Stripped and replaced by spaces.
                 -   Converted as either underscore and bar 
                     characters in a scalable Courier font. 
                     If you do not have scaleable fonts, converted 
                     text may format incorrectly.    
                 -   Converted as line-draw characters in a
                     preferred font. This font must be fixed pitch
                     and scaleable. Selecting either a non-
                     scaleable or proportionally spaced font may
                     cause text to format incorrectly.
   N.B.              Ami Pro, Word for Windows and WordPerfect
                     have different methods of displaying and
                     printing line-draw at odd point sizes. ie
                     11pt 9pt and 7pt line draw may print
                     incorrectly.
Sub/superscript      Text that is sub/superscripted may be
                     converted as either text in a sub/
                     superscripted font, or as a base-line change.

                     characters (ANSI). 
                 -   Converted as line-draw characters in a
                     preferred font. This font must be fixed pitch
                     and scaleable. Selecting either a non-
                     scaleable or proportionally spaced font may
                     cause text to format incorrectly.

                     converted as a base-line change or as a font
                     changes. Ami Pro has no concept of Baseline
                     change. Advance codes will convert as font
                     changes. Word for Windows has a corresponding
                     control "Advance", and allows text to be
                     represented in a sub/superscript font.

                   OFFICEPOWER READERS
                   ====================

OfficePower v450 documents do not contain controls that describe
the page size, page orientation, font and font-size. OfficePower
v650 documents can have these controls present, but they are not
mandatory

The Default settings provide DCM with information necessary to lay
text onto an appropriate paper-size. In your Windows directory you
will find 450FONT.INI, and 650FONT.INI. These files contain
definitions for paper-sizes and fonts that should be edited to
conform to your OfficePower system settings.

DCM uses the paper-size definitions as a preference list. This
means that, with "paper-size = Auto Select" and "font = Auto
Select",  DCM will attempt to fit text on to the first paper-size
defined in the list using the first font definition in the font
list. If text will not fit using the first font, DCM moves down
the list in sequence looking for a fit. If all fonts fail to
produce a fit DCM repeats this process with the next paper-size in
the list. If no fit is found DCM defaults to the default Windows
form size and system font, or A4 12 pitch if no printer has been
defined.

If your OfficePower documents always conform to a standard layout,
select the correct paper-size and font defintion.

Horizontal scale Select this option if text infringes the right-
                 most print position, and you want to maintain the
                 horizontal layout of your document. Text will be
                 auto-scaled in percentage increments until it
                 will fit on the paper.

Scale to paper   Select this option to auto-scale documents in
                 both axes to maintain text on the selected paper
                 size. 

Minimum margins  Edit these values to equal the minimum margins,
                 (crop areas), available on your printer. If text
                 infringes these areas, text will be re-positioned
                 to conform to these values. The initial values
                 are supplied by Windows or from the WordPerfect
                 PRS/WRS files.
                 The DisplayWrite and Uniplex printers may not be
                 attached to the Windows system where conversion
                 is being effected. Values for target printers
                 must be entered manually. 
                 The default values are 0.2"

Set margins      Check this box to re-define your document margins
                 as the minimum values. Text will re-format
                 accordingly. Scaling is not available if this box
                 is checked. 



         USING THE ???FONT.INI FILES
        ===========================

All READERS have an associated ???FONT.INI file. These files are
ASCII format and provide the conversion programs with information
about READER Fonts, font sizes, font attributes and line-spacing
values, and allows READER text enhancement codes to be defined or
re-defined for conversion purposes.

These files are  UPXFONT.INI    Uniplex       source document
                 DOCFONT.INI    DisplayWrite     "        "
                 WP5FONT.INI    WordPerfect      "        "
                 WFWFONT.INI    Word for Windows "        "
                 450FONT.INI    OfficePower v450 "        "
                 650FONT.INI    OfficePower v650 "        "
                 AMPFONT.INI    Ami Pro          "        "

Correct use of these files enables complex documents to be sent to
editors with limited font resources or printing capabilities so
that they can be edited and returned to the originating
application intact. Eg A TimesRoman face at various point sizes
can be mapped to a variety of fixed pitch fonts/faces. The reverse
conversion simply maps these fonts/faces back, by defining each
font/face at a specific size, and through the FONT MAP SCREEN each
font/face can be mapped to a typographic face.


The following text describes the use of UPXFONT.INI. ie where
Uniplex is the READER and documents are to be converted to any of
the WRITERS



              USING UPXFONT.INI
              =================


UPXFONT.INI enables you to decide how your Uniplex fonts convert
into WRITER fonts. If you have decided on different layouts for
letters, memos, manuals  etc, then you will be able to automate a
substantial amount of edit work by affecting the font size,
spacing and attributes for typographical faces that you wish to 
appear within your converted documents.

UPXFONT.INI  may be edited in a text editor, such as Windows
notepad. Do not use a word-processor.  All measurements are in
points (1/72"). Any value will  be accepted.

UPXFONT.INI provides default font information, where there is no
font size or attribute description within the Uniplex document. 

UPXFONT.INI enables font size settings within your documents to be
over-ridden.  

UPXFONT.INI enables printer control strings that cause a printer
font change to be defined. 
The font descriptions are displayed within Document Conversion
Manager at the Font Map screen. Each line is a complete font
description comprising:

Font descriptions  : The name of the font.

Font Number        : is used by Document Conversion Manager to
                     differentiate font types ie fixed pitch,
                     serif and sans-serif. 

              There are three number ranges :    
              01 -   400 fixed pitch courier
             401 - 32767 proportional serif / Times Roman
           32768 - 65535 proportional sans serif / Helvetic

Font Size : '0' means use the font size detailed in the document,
             or if no size is specified, use the default size
             setting from the READER Controls setup. Any other
             value in points means convert this font at this point
             size regardless of the size specified in the
             document.

Spacing   : '0' means use the active document spacing value for
             this font. Any other value in points means, convert
             this font at this spacing value regardless of the
             document setting.

Attributes : sets the conversion attribute(s) for this font.

Text enhancement       This section allows the alphabetic
                       attribute letters definition to be defined.

Effects                This section details font defintions that
                       contain either bold or italic enhancement. 



In UPXFONT.INI you will see : 
field no.   1        2        3    4    5
           11,   FX-Normal    0,   0,   0 
      
      Changing the '0' in field 3  (font size) to 10, 
      instructs Document Conversion Manager to replace the  
      definition within the Uniplex document with this new 
      value. In this case, FX-Normal, would convert as a 10pt  
      12 pitch font with line-spacing per the active 
      definition, and with a plain non-enhanced face. 
      The face will depend on mapping. 



      Changing field 4 to 24 tells Document Conversion Manager  
      to force line-spacing to three lines per inch for all 
      occurances of FX-Normal.
      Changing field 5 to 'AI' tells Document Conversion Manager
      to convert all occurances of FX-Normal with Bold and 
      Italic enhancements. Any legal Uniplex attribute, as 
      defined in the Attribute section of UPXFONT.INI may be
      added. 
      
      Adding printer control strings. 
      -  Select a font number that reflects the face that 
         your printer control string is intended to produce. 
      -  In the font description field, type the printer 
         control string exactly as it should appear in the 
         document. 
      -  Add the required point size, line-spacing values and 
         any attributes. 

 e.g.   86,  .sn xxxxxxxx,  14,    0,   A 
 "xxxxxxxx" = the font change escape sequence.
       "14" = the required font height.        
       " 0" = maintain document spacing values.
 "A" = add bold enhancement. 

Default  mapping
UPXFONT. INI defaults to the following values. 

         Uniplex Writer    Pitch   
           FX-Normal       10pt    
           FX-Large        16pt    
           FX-Small        8pt     
           PS-Normal       10pt    
           PS-Large        16pt    
           PS-Small         8pt   
           Scalable fonts  As defined      
           Linespacing     As defined      
           Attributes      As defined   

Things to remember    If you edit font sizes be sure that your
                      system has that font and size available, and
                      that your printer can print at that size.

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

                         FONT MAP 
                         ========

This feature enables READER and WRITER typestyles and fonts to be
interchangeable by face name and size. Please read the section on
using ???PRN.INI before attempting to round-trip documents.


Printer                  This is the printer currently selected
                         through the WRITER Controls setup.
                         Mapping is system and printer
                         dependent. Make sure that you have
                         selected the correct WRITER and printer
                         before mapping your fonts.

Target typeface          This is the typeface to which you will
                         map READER fonts. READER fonts already
                         mapped to this face will be displayed in
                         the Mapped Typestyles box.
                         A default typestyle mapping is done by
                         the Install program, based on the Windows
                         default printer.

Unmapped typestyles      This box displays READER fonts, listed
                         in ???FONT.INI, that have not been mapped
                         to a Target Typeface. 
                         If your READER documents contain fonts,
                         listed in ???FONT.INI, that have not been
                         mapped, then those typestyles will
                         convert according to their font number at
                         the appropriate point size.

To map READER typestyles : 
 -  First make sure that ???FONT.INI contains correct font
    descriptions.  (See "Using UPXFONT.INI"). 
 -  Make sure that you have selected the correct WRITER and
    printer. 
 -  Select your Target Typeface. 
 -  Highlight the Uniplex fonts that you want to map. 
 -  Press the ADD button. 
Your READER fonts will be placed in the "Mapped typestyles" box. 

Mapped typestyles       This box displays those READER fonts that
                        are mapped to the currently selected
                        Target Typeface. 

To unmap READER fonts : 
-  First make sure that you have selected the correct WRITER and
   printer. 
-  Select your Target Typeface. 
-  Highlight the READER fonts that you want to unmap. 
-  Press the REMOVE button. Your READER fonts will 
   be added to the "Unmapped typestyles" list.   

    If your READER application supports scaleable fonts
    (TruType or Adobe etc), and your WRITER application 
    does not (DisplayWrite / Officepower v450), then the
    "Target Typeface" box will be described as "Reader Font",
    and will contain all fonts available to the READER.
    The Unmapped typestyle box will contain all WRITER 
    typestyles/fonts which are to be mapped to the READER font.
    Multiple WRITER typestyles can be tied to a READER font
    family.
    A READER font - TimesRoman - will be mapped to one of the
    mapped typestyles that most closely matches the READER font
    size. If your WRITER is DisplayWrite you may decide to map
    typestyles 10, 85 and 223 to font Courier. A READER font size
    12 pt will map to typestyle 10, 10pt will map to typestyle 85
    and 8pt will map to typestyle 223

Unmapped Word for Windows/OfficePower/WordPerfect fonts will
convert as either Courier, TimesRoman or Helvetic faces depending
on the numbering set in ???FONT.INI. 

Unmapped DisplayWrite typestyles will convert as : 
      Fixed pitch typestyles =  Courier.
      PSM typestyles         =  Courier. 
      Scalable typestyles    =  TimesNewRoman/Helvetic 



                         TROUBLESHOOTING
                         ===============

Check the file DCMLOG.TXT which will be found in your DCM installed
directory, if there were errors detected by the conversion process. eg unrecognised font description, unknown control, non-supported controls.

NB. DCMLOG.TXT is reset each time DCM.EXE is run. Error logging is valid for each session; it is not cumulative.



Text wraps incorrectly.  Have you set the correct default font and
                         /or point size ?       
                         Are your READER fonts correctly mapped ?
                         Are the document print margins correct ? 
                         Have you increased the printer crop areas
                         in the WRITER Controls ?

Text is too wide.        Try reducing the default point size.   
                         Do you have this font/size available ?

Pagination is wrong.     Have you set top and bottom margins
                         correctly ?  
                         Have you reduced the printable width, by
                         setting large left and right print
                         margins ?   
                         Is text in the right font ?   
                         Have you selected to convert text onto a
                         different paper size, and not scaled the
                         document ?     
                         Is hyphenation handled in the same manner
                         by the source and target applications ?
                         Is hyphenation set on or off in DCM.INI ?

Fonts don't map          Any font not listed in ???FONT.INI will 
correctly.               default to either Courier or TimesRoman
                         at 10pt. Each time DCM is run and
                         unlisted fonts are found in the source
                         documents, a log file DCMLOG.TXT is
                         created in your DCM directory. These font
                         names must be entered in the READER
                         ???FONT.INI file EXACTLY as they are in
                         the log file, and then mapped via the
                         FONT MAP setup screen. This problem is
                         most likely to occur with the WordPerfect
                         READER, as WordPerfect provides explicit font
                         names.

                         Using DCM.INI
                         =============

Fine tuning of some layout controls and functions is available
through DCM.INI.

The sections contain the conversion settings for each pairing.
     eg [DOC-AMP] is the section for DisplayWrite to Ami Pro


 Statement                  Description
 ---------                  -----------
Hyphenation=0      Section : [???-AMP]
                   Creates Ami Pro styles with hyphenation turned off.
                   Change to Hyphenation=1 to turn hyphenation on. A
                   non-hyphenated document may paginate incorrectly.

ReqPageBreaks=1    Section : [???-AMP],[???-WP5],[???-WFW]
                             [450-???],[650-???]
                   Terminates all pages with a Required Page Break. 
                   ReqPageBreaks=0 maintains source document hard
                   page breaks, and allows the target application to
                   determine the placement of soft page breaks.

                   The Officepower v450 & v650 READERS take a second
                   parameter "Page length"
                        ReqPageBreaks= 0,Page length
                   will set the document maximum vertical print position at
                   the page length value (typically 66 lines / 11" )set in
                   the Officepower document.
                   Soft page breaks will be stripped, allowing the document
                   to paginate naturally in the target application. Without
                   this parameter the Officepower footer will be positioned
                   with respect to the bottom edge of the page, allowing
                   the body text depth to increase by the difference
                   between the paper size and the page length setting.

AutoLineHeight=0   Section : [???-WFW]
                   Prevents AutoLineHeight and enables spacing as
                   Fixed / AtLeast.
                   Vertical metrics vary by application. Word has
                   tight metrics, so source documents created with
                   "Auto" line spacing may convert to Word with
                   incorrect pagination.

BTAdjust=0         Section : [DOC-???]
                   Because of the way graphical editors decide vertical
                   placement, the soft-page break decision may be
                   marginal ie within 1/100", causing a line of text
                   to wrap onto the following page. This control enables
                   DisplayWrite body text depth to be increased. Values
                   for this control are expressed in 1/1440", so
                   BTAdjust=14 will add approx. 1/100" to the last 
                   typing line values in a DisplayWrite document.

PromptedStops=0    Section : [???-RFT]
                   This control enables Bookmarks to be roundtripped
                   through DisplayWrite versions which do not support
                   Prompted Stop Codes.
                   PromptedStops=0 converts Bookmarks as a DisplayWrite
                   Stop Code and a Prompted Stop Code. The DisplayWrite
                   READER interprets the double control as a single
                   control and recreates the Bookmark.

DefChar[x]=        Section : [450-???], [650-???]
???,Space/Keep,    OfficePower utilises non-printing characters as
Bookmark           placemark controls to enable fast navigation around 
                   a document. 

                   DefChar[x], where [x] is a number between 1 - 9, enables
                   characters to be defined as placemark/bookmark controls.


                   ??? is the decimal number of the navigation character.

                   Space means convert character ??? as a space.

                   Keep means maintain character ???.

                   Bookmark means add a bookmark control.
