CharFind Help
To use:
Simply click on a key to enter it into the viewing box text field. By clicking either shift
key, you see the font's shifted letters. Similarly, clicking the alternate keys show the
alternate key values. When both are highlighted, you get the Alt-shifted characters.
To change font, bring the font panel up and select a new font. The size selected affects the
text field. You can also change the size of the imaged characters in the virtual keyboard by
changing the default in the Preferences Panel. Note that this will not change already
allocated bitmaps.
Other settable preferences include the default font and font size of the text field. Also,
the application remembers where you have placed the CharFind window and restores it to that
position if the Save/Restore checkbox is checked.
There are two additional buttons on the CharFind window:Copy and Clear. Clear, as expected
clears the viewing box. Copy selects the text and copies it to the PasteBoard for easy
placement in other applications. If the receiving application understands rich text format,
then the correct font and size will be pasted in. Edit, in the rich text mode, will do this.
Currently,WriteNow 1.0 does not accept RTF, so you will have to change the font family
manually.
