Wikk Specs are guide specifications that need to be edited to suit the
conditions of your particular project. They can seldom be used "as-is."
Since word processors all work a little differently, we've made a comparison
chart to help you compare the features of each.

WHAT TO DO AFTER DOWNLOADING
Word
Processing Files: Downloaded word processing file(s) are now
located in the directory that your internet connection software is located
in, unless your internet software allowed you to specify a different
directory. If necessary copy the files to your word processing directory
and delete them from the internet directory. The word processing files
are named the same as they were on the list that you clicked on to download
them. If you're not sure, each file is named according to the following
rules: the 5-digit section number, followed by 3 letters representing
the manufacturer's name, as follows:
· 00000ABC.WPD for WordPerfect
· 00000ABC.DOC for Microsoft Word
· 00000ABC.TXT for Rich Text Format
HYPERTEXT
MARKUP LANGUAGE (.html) documents are for viewing/printing.
They can be cut and pasted into an editing software package of your
choice.
PORTABLE
DOCUMENT FORMAT (.pdf) documents are for viewing/printing.
They can be cut and pasted into an editing software package of your
choice.

WORD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICROSOFT
WORD 2000, 97, & 6.0/95 FOR WINDOWS
· Start Microsoft Word.
· Open the section you wish to edit.
· After editing the section, save it to another directory or file
name to avoid over-writing the master file.
Notes to Specifier: The Wikk Specs Word files
have a feature designed to make editing for projects easier -- editor's
notes as hidden text. To make the most of this feature, and reduce word-processing
time, follow the instructions below.
· Editor's notes appear as hidden text. Hidden text is marked with
a dotted underline. It is not necessary to delete the hidden text -- simply
print the file normally and they will not be printed. If you wish to print
the hidden text, go to the Tools menu, select Options and then the Print
tab. Put an X next to the hidden text selection on the list of non-printing
characters
· If no editor's notes appear on the screen, the option to view
hidden text may be turned off. Go to the Tools menu, select Options and
then the View tab. Put an X next to the hidden text selection on the list
of non-printing characters.
Paragraph Numbering: The Wikk Specs Word
files include a standard paragraph numbering scheme that renumbers paragraphs
when paragraphs are added or deleted.
· This format uses Field Codes to accomplish paragraph numbering.
The simplest way to add field codes to new paragraphs is to copy the
paragraph number of an existing paragraph of the proper level. Renumbering
does not occur automatically. When you are finished editing, select
all text in the document, then press F9 -- the field code contents will
be updated.
WORD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORDPERFECT
· Start WordPerfect.
· Retrieve the section you wish to edit.
· After editing the section, save it to another directory or file
name to avoid over-writing the master file.
Notes
to Specifier:
In Wikk Specs WordPerfect files editor's notes are WordPerfect "Comments",
a special type of text. It is not necessary to delete these comments
-- simply print the file normally and the editor's notes will not be
printed.
· In WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS these notes appear on screen in
double-outlined boxes.
· In WordPerfect for Windows, the presence of a comment is indicated
by the comment marker in the left-hand margin -- click on it to read
the note.
Automatic
Paragraph Numbering: The numbering scheme in each section follows
the CSI convention for a hierarchical numbering scheme. The numbers
are inserted into the file using WordPerfect's "Para Num"
function, which uses a code instead of the actual number. When "Reveal
Codes" is turned on, the paragraph number codes are visible.
· When a paragraph is deleted, all the following paragraphs are
renumbered; it is not necessary to renumber manually.
· To number new paragraphs, insert the paragraph number code
at the beginning of the paragraph. To do this, press Shift-F5, select
option 5, and specify the appropriate hierarchical level -- each paragraph
number code indicates the appropriate level. Use indents (F4) to align
the new paragraph with corresponding paragraphs in the section.
WORD PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RICH TEXT
FORMAT
· Start your word processor. (It is possible to use a text editor,
such as Notepad or Wordpad, but the lines will be too long to print unless
you manually "wrap" them.)
· Open or retrieve the section you wish to edit.
· Set the left and right document margins and the font.
· Make the edits required.
· Delete the editor's notes (text preceded and followed by a full
line of asterisks).
· Save to a different directory or file name.
