DESCRIPTION

This archive contains the PageMaker 6.5 Story Import filter for

the Power Macintosh. After you install this filter, you can

import stories from PageMaker 6.5 publications using the Place

command, which allows you to transfer text between PageMaker

publications without opening another publication, copying, or

pasting.



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Adobe PageMaker 6.5 for the Power Macintosh



HANDLING NOTES

After downloading a ".sea.hqx" file on a Macintosh, use StuffIt 

Expander by Aladdin Systems, Inc. (408-761-6200, 

http://www.aladdinsys.com/) to access the file's contents.  

StuffIt Expander is available as a freeware product.  To 

decompress a ".sea" file on a Macintosh, double-click on the 

".sea" file.



INSTALLATION NOTES

1.  Quit PageMaker.

2.  Copy the PM6.5 Story Import PPC.flt file into the Filters 

folder in the RSRC folder in the Adobe PageMaker 6.5 folder.

3.  Restart PageMaker.



ADDITIONAL NOTES

If you have PageMaker for the Macintosh, install the PM6.5 Story 

Import.flt file instead. To determine whether you have PageMaker 

for the Macintosh (68K version) or PageMaker for the Power 

Macintosh (PowerPC) installed, start PageMaker and choose About 

PageMaker from the Apple menu. PageMaker for the Power Macintosh 

displays the word "PowerPC" to the right of the version number, 

and PageMaker for the Macintosh displays only the version number.



The Place PageMaker Stories dialog box appears when you select a

PageMaker publication and click OK in the Place Document dialog

box. The dialog box lists all stories in the publication,

although you can specify a minimum number of characters for

stories to be listed so that short stories, such as captions,

don't appear in the list. Select the View button to preview a

selected story before you place it. If you select more than one

story to import in the list, the selected stories import as one

continuous story.



The story importer retains character formatting and named styles 

from other publications but has the following limitations:

- Index entries with cross-references are not imported. Index 

entries with ranges other than Current Page or For Next 

Paragraphs are converted to Current Page.

- Inline graphics are not imported.

- Manual-kerning information from the original publication is 

ignored and replaced with the pair-kerning instructions for the 

paragraph into which you insert the story.

- Text that you have rotated is imported but the text is not 

rotated when you place it in the publication.



The PM6.5 Story Import PPC.flt file (dated 01/09/97, size 99,826 

bytes) does not replace any existing PageMaker 6.5 file. (To 

view the size and date of a file, select it in the Finder, and 

then choose File > Get Info.)
