Trellix Web (TM) README.TXT - January 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Trellix Web Version 2.6 All software and materials copyright 1998-2000 by Trellix (R) Corporation. Trellix is a registered trademark, and Trellix Web is a trademark of Trellix Corporation (www.trellix.com). ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Setting Up One-Step Publish (TM) Trellix Web lets you set up "One-Step Publish" so that you can easily publish and update any number of web sites with a single command. To begin, choose File - Publish Web Site. Each copy of Trellix Web is automatically connected to one or more web hosting companies. If you do not already have an account with a hosting company, you can set one up online. (To do this you must already have a way to access the Internet using a web browser -- in other words you must have an Internet Service Provider, or ISP -- but you do not have to have a web site.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Updating Your Software After you obtain your copy of Trellix Web, it is very likely that Trellix will form additional relationships with partner companies and add new features that you may want to use. To add the latest features and partnerships to your software, choose Help - Updates and Downloads and follow the instructions on the screen. To get the latest Trellix Web Gems, choose Tools - Web Gems and then click Upgrade. Follow the instructions that appear. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Using Images From Scanners and Digital Cameras Some versions of Trellix Web let you include images directly from scanners and digital cameras that support the TWAIN interface. To do this, choose Insert - Scanner or Digital Camera Image. - Not all TWAIN devices have been certified for use with our TWAIN interface. If you have questions, check the list of certified devices on our support web site at http://support.trellix.com/ . - This special menu item appears only when the TWAIN interface has been installed. Some versions of Trellix Web may not contain it. More information on this feature can be found in the file called TLXTWAIN.HLP. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Adjusting Printer Options Trellix Web lets you print your web site file. To do so, choose File - Print. - You can adjust printer-specific options, such as orientation and paper size, by choosing File - Print and then clicking the Properties button. - You can adjust Trellix-specific print options, such as page breaks, footnotes with link information, headers, and footers, by choosing File - Page Setup. For more information, see the Trellix Web Help file. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Known Problems Visitors to your web site(s) who are using Netscape Navigator on a computer display set to 256 colors may see inaccurate colors due to a known Netscape bug. Sites created with the following web designs may display differently than they appeared to you: Teal Surf Basic (all shapes) If you expect your visitors to be using Navigator with this display level, do not base your sites on these designs. The Print toolbar button prints "all pages" in the current file. To print only selected pages in the current file, choose File - Print from the menu. When you add Weather Web Gems to your web site, be sure to place them in the page body and not in the border of the page. The inserted Weather Gem is too big to fit well in the standard-sized border. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Trellix Web Wizard The fastest way to create a web site using Trellix Web, is to start with our Web Wizard. You can choose it from the Start Using Trellix Web screen, or choose File - New and then select the Web Wizard from the list of available templates. At the end of the wizard, you will be able to publish your site, or enhance it further. A quick list of commonly used features will guide you in finishing the site. To get the most out of Trellix Web, we also recommend that you use the learning options described in the next section. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Learning About Trellix Web This document contains notes on using Trellix Web that supplement the Trellix Web online documentation.

Some of these commands are only available from menus when you have a file open; if the Trellix Web window is empty, they are not available. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tips & Techniques If you are working on the Hands-on Tutorial, and you dismiss the Tutorial Help and want to recall it, the best procedure is: (1) Use the Windows Explorer to navigate to the directory where Trellix Web software was installed. This is often C:/Program Files/Trellix Web/program If not, it will be some directory with "Trellix Web/program" after it. (2) Double-click on WebTutorial.hlp. (3) Close Explorer and continue with the Tutorial. If you received Trellix Web on a CD-ROM, your CD-ROM contains additional images that may be of use as you create Web sites. The "Extras" folder contains a "Buttons and Bitmaps" folder, which contains all the images used to create our designs. Your CD-ROM also contains a copy of the Trellix Web Guided Tour. You can copy it to the directory where Trellix Web software was installed and then choose it from the Start Using Trellix Web dialog box or by choosing Help - Guided Tour. To copy it, the best procedure is: (1) Use the Windows Explorer to navigate to your CD-ROM and to the Extras directory that holds the Guided Tour. (2) Copy the file, GuidedTour.exe to the directory where Trellix Web software was installed. This is often C:/Program Files/Trellix Web/program (3) Close Explorer and choose Help - Guided Tour or choose Guided Tour from the Start Using Trellix Web dialog box. If your C:\ drive is smaller than 3 gigabytes, the Guided Tour should run without problems. If your C:\ drive is larger than 3 gigabytes (total space), you will see an error message saying that the C:\Temp folder can't be found. After this message, the Guided Tour will run with some navigational images missing. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ End of file - last edited 12 January 2000
