                         ANT_DEMO.DOT
             Demo version of the two Ant  programs:
______________________________________________________________________________



                    ANT_HTML.DOT   Version 2.1
              Word  6.0 to HTML Conversion Utility
                                &
                   ANT_PLUS.DOT   Version 2.1
                       Word  6.0 To HTML 
        PLUS  HTML to Word 6.0 WYSIWYG Conversion Utility
  (or HTML To ASCII or to any other format available in WfW 6.0)

               Each of the templates works in both
             WORD FOR WINDOWS AND WORD FOR MACINTOSH
                               in
                     International Versions
                          of Word 6.0

       ANT_DEMO.DOT is available at ftp.einet.net/einet/pc

______________________________________________________________________________

This demo program demonstrates the tools and features of the
ANT_HTML and ANT_PLUS templates.
Descriptions of those programs are provided below.

______________________________________________________________________________

     The ANT_HTML.DOT template is designed to work within Word 6.0
to facilitate the creation of hypertext documents. HTML codes can be inserted 
into any new or previously prepared Word document or any ASCII document.
All the ANT_HTML tools are represented in the ANT_DEMO template.
The ANT_DEMO also includes other features which are only available
in the ANT_PLUS template described below.
______________________________________________________________________________

The ANT_PLUS.DOT template, in addition to all the tools in the ANT_HTML
template, also includes: 

    ~  The HTML to  WYSIWYG utility (described below)
    ~  A feature which simplifies the creation of forms
    ~  A tool to convert "special characters"   (e.g. cedillas, umlauts, etc.)
    ~  The means to create .DOC, .ASCII, RTF or other files from HTML files.
    ~  The means to make hard copies of HTML documents
       with the tags removed.

After clicking the HTML to WYSIWYG Tool on the far right of the toolbar
so that the document is properly coded, you can easily remove the codes,
if you like, while maintaining the formatting.  You may convert the file
to ASCII text or to any other format listed in the "Save File As Type" 
options box.  (Open Word and select File, Save [or File, SaveAs].

At the bottom of the dialog box, click on the File Save As Type "down arrow"
to view the list.)

By pasting the contents of any HTML document into a new Word 6.0 document
based on the ANT-PLUS template, you can easily and automatically convert 
the file into a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get environment by clicking the
HTML To WYSIWYG Tool.  The program does not currently support nested lists,
although non-nested lists of all varieties are supported.

The template converts all HTML headings to the appropriate sizes, converts
all styles, as well as bolds, italics, special characters, etc..
The template displays HTML tags as red, hidden text and displays URL entries
as bright blue and underlined.

Hard copies of HTML documents can be easily obtained with ANT_PLUS.
After clicking the HTML To WYSIWYG Tool, just choose the
"Zap Macros In Entire Document" entry from the Ant Tools menu.
A WYSIWYG document without HTML tags can then be printed.

______________________________________________________________________________

                          ABOUT  THIS  TEMPLATE...

The ANT_DEMO.DOT template is designed to provide a sampling of the other
Ant programs.  Unlike some other demonstration programs, it's not timed 
to self-destruct or shut down after a predetermined number of days.
Instead, the Ant demo permits you access to all the tools but frequently 
inserts harmless notes into the document along with the HTML tags.
(Naturally, the complete programs do NOT insert any notes.)   Since the
ANT_DEMO.DOT template is for demonstration purposes only, it is hoped 
that you will enjoy evaluating the features and maintain a sense of humor
while viewing some of the inserted notes.  (One particular quote you may
see in the HTML to WYSIWYG demo, though, is to be taken seriously.
The Eskimo proverb,  "Do not make Loon Soup", shall, I believe,
forever remain sound advice. :-))

Were necessary, you can substitute the words, "ANT_DEMO" for the words,
"ANT_HTML" when reading the tips in the Ant Instruction Guide.  To see
the demonstration of the HTML to WYSIWYG conversion utility which is
provided in the ANT_PLUS template, click the HTML to WYSIWYG tool
(on the far right of the Ant Toolbar).  The demo will open the
ANTDEMO.HTM file, copy and paste it into your current document
and WYSIWYG it. 

 ______________________________________________________________________________


PLEASE NOTE:

Although the Instruction Guide contains many HTML tips and formatting
suggestions, it is not intended as an instruction guide for HTML.
If you are already familiar with HTML coding, the features will (I hope)
seem "intuitive" and enable you to click on a tool and achieve the
expected result.  Basically, once the Ant template is installed...

  ... If you wish to experiment with creating a new HTML document,
      open a new .DOC file based on the Ant template, use the Ant
      Tools and click on the Convert and Save Tool.

  ... or it you wish to experiment with creating an HTML file from 
      an existing Word .DOC file, just cut and paste it into a new
     .DOC file based on the Ant template, use the Ant Tools and
      click on the Convert and Save Tool.

  ... or it you wish to experiment with creating a .DOC file from
      an HTML file. just cut and paste the HTML file (it will be
      ASCII text) into a new .DOC file based on the Ant template.  
      That's about all there is to it.  (Caveat in the paragraph below:)

It is suggested that you take the time to read the Tips and Notes section
of the ANT.HTM Instruction Guide.  It contains a number of helpful hints
about working with HTML and the template in the Word for Windows environment.
______________________________________________________________________________

To install the ANT:

1.  Copy all the files into the same directory or folder.
    (You may name it whatever you like and it can be anywhere;
    just so its NOT within any of your Word directories or folders.)
2.  Open Word
3.  Open the ANT_INST.DOC file and double-click the red button.  The End.
                                                                                                                     
Note:  You will be asked during the installation whether you would like to
have a tool which attaches the Ant template to any document, automatically 
installed in the Standard toolbar in your Normal.Dot template.

If you choose "YES", a tool with an "A" will be added to the Standard toolbar
and will be readily available if and when you want to make an HTML document
from a previously created .DOC based on Normal.Dot.  (You can easily move
the tool or delete it later, if you wish.)

Just so you know, after double-clicking the red button, the Ant will 
automatically perform these tasks...

ANT_DEMO.DOT and ANTDEMO.HTM will be copied to your Word Templates Directory/Folder.
A file ANT_HTML.INI, recording the local information for your copy of the Ant, will
be created in your Windows directory/Preferences folder.


______________________________________________________________________________

Note to users of non-English language versions of Word 6.0:
The first time you make use of the Ant template, you will likely see
a message asking  "Save Changes to .DOT file?"  (The .DOT file
is the template itself.) 

Answer "YES" to this question so that the macros (the programming code)
will be translated and saved in the appropriate language.  If you answer "NO"
to the question, the translation will be required each time you open any 
document based on the Ant template.
______________________________________________________________________________

Troubleshooting:

If you have trouble installing, run the ToolsAvancedSettings command from the
Tools/Macros/commands menu to make sure you have an entry for "USER-DOT-PATH" 
in your WINWORD6.INI (Windows) or WORD SETTINGS (6) file (Mac).

More Notes :
 - The template works well with most Unix as well as Windows based HTML browsers.
   If you are using a Unix based browser and experience abnormalities, please
   contact the author at the email address below and include the name of your
   browser.
 - The templates are not represented to be perfect, nor to accommodate every HTML
   browser or every system.  They are designed to make working with hypertext 
   faster and easier.
 - The Ant Instruction Guide may be found in ANT.HTM.
   You may wish to create a directory for the guide and it's gifs.
   (There are many gif files depicting toolbar tools so, for faster loading, you
   can turn "Display Inline Images" off in your HTML browser if you wish.)
