First let us make a few things clear. As the Urdu PageComposer is a first, the main purpose of the PageComposer is to get flawless Urdu on Computers. As a result, the Urdu PageComposer is slower than a regular Word Processor. Please bear with us.
It was primarily meant for composing and not for word processing (although it does a decent job).
Don't go looking for a thesaurus or urdu-grammatik!
The sharware version will print only on dot-matrix printers.
Check:
That the DOS program MEM.EXE reports atleast 550kb conventional memory free.
That you got atleast 2 MB free space on the hard disk.
That you have installed the DOS driver for mouse (this is not the same as the Windows mouse driver).
It is a good idea to include the mouse driver in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Make a directory called C:\PC on your hard disk. Copy the PCSHARE.ZIP into it. Unzip it using PKUNZIP.EXE. Run PC.EXE from \PC directory.
ASelecting the User defined keyboard in the dialog.
BSelect the letter you want to move by clicking on it.
CClick on the key button where you want the letter to appear with the right mouse button.
Now for using it,
Use the 'L' tool to draw a 'frame' on the screen. You can only type inside the frame area.
To highlight text use the 'I' beam tool.
Hit Alt-L to toggle between Urdu and English.
For the rest us the menus!
Tips:
Use the Frame as columns of text
Select a Frame by clicking inside it
By clicking on the bottom handle of a frame, your mouse pointer will change to a 'frame'. Now draw a coninuation frame for the selected frame !
When starting a new file with "New" under "File, you can specify how many columns you need in each page.
You can have a lot of fun by using various shades for text, background, shadows, etc.
