we have ileaf 5.2 and a QMS 1700 with a duplexer unit enabled by
default on the keypad.

My question is : is it possible and how can I make a simplex job
in ileaf.
 I see that ileaf put some poscript command to enable dupler when 
recto/verso is choosen. but I dont see the opposit effect.

Any idea ?

Oracle CoAuthor is a proofreader.  We have a release for Interleaf,
which is implemented as a layered application.  Version 2, due out next
month, will have pupolar readability indexes and document statistics.
I am not sure about Mac support.  For more information, please email
infopruf@oracle.com.

Lisa -

	Unless you have a particular need for Interleaf (such as compatibility),
I'd go for something else.  I'm not familiar with Framemaker or other desktop
publishers, but I am quite familiar with Interleaf.  I don't believe that
Interleaf allows you to do a word count in a document -- although there
may be a way to write a script that will do that.

	For straight manuscripts, I use Word Perfect on a Powerbook.  It
does offer word count (either through the spell-check feature or through a
pull-down menu called "About this document").  My spouse prefers Microsoft
Word, for unknown reasons. (His stuff is highly technical and has lots of
graphs and equations in it.)

        Please post whatever you find out-  I'm curious about how/whether
Interleaf functions on a PC/Macintosh environment.  Judging from the other
versions of Interleaf I've used, I bet it uses a HUGE amount of memory.

	Good luck!

Hello,

I have a problem , using the A-page facility with Interleaf( 5.3.0 distribution
level 1 on a SUN Sparc).


I have a document of 15 pages numbered 1-1 - 1-15 and i want to add a page
1-6a. The document is double sided.

So within interleaf i go to page six , place the cursor under the last
component and select under document header :

   Misc -> A-page -> Split -> sheets -> current.

and i can add the page 1-6a, result three documents :

1(pp 1-4) , 1(pp 5-6a) , 1( pp 7-15)
 
Then i want to merge them again:

I open document 1(pp 5-6a) and select under document header :
 
   Misc -> A-page -> join -> next

Now here something is wrong , I end up with an document called 1( pp. 5-7)
and it only contains the pages from 1(pp 5-6a) , the pages from 1(pp 7-15)
seem to be removed.

Next i do a : Misc -> A-page -> join -> previous, and the same 
happens again: document 1 with 3 pages of 1(pp 5-6a) and the pages of the
other documents seem to be removed.

When i change the order of the joining , first previous and then next
the same thing happens. What is wrong ? Setup ? property ?

Joining a split document without added pages goes OK and when i get an
split document from our office in LA with an already added page the joining
goes OK also. But when i add an additonal page to that document joining is
wrong again. Do you understand it , i do not. Please help.

I have the lisp script shown below in my profile drawer (called
Big_Menus.lsp). It makes the fonts on all popup menus bigger. 
It doesn't affect doc headers, component bar etc and I haven't 
tried playing around to see if there are additional vars available 
controlling these. This is a start though... I think it makes the
popup menus much easier to use.

Dear netters,

I recently wrote a script to start InterLeaf (V5.3, SUN OS 4.1 under X)
on a faster machine using `xon <machine> ileaf ...'. Unfortunately, we have
machines using very different keyboards. InterLeaf therefore overwrites
my personal keyboard tool kept in the profile drawer. Fortunately, there
is a keyboard option, but I couldn't figure out how to use it (maybe it's
the wrong one).

Please help,

A while back, there were some requests for information on any books that
might exist about Interleaf. I have found exactly one in my travels:

The Guide to Interleaf Publisher
by Alan Southerton with Interleaf, Inc.
Addison Wesley
Dec. 1990
$26.95
softcover

(There are several copies at Barnes & Noble in downtown Boston.)

This is a nice book but it's about the version of Interleaf called
Publisher which was designed as the first version of Interleaf which
would work on Macs and PCs. It looks much like the current version but
I believe it's based on Interleaf 3.

Props edit is the wrong function.

Create a frame, open it and Create>Misc>Equation.
The default equation comes up.
Select the equation and Edit>Content.
Now, Misc>Batch Edit to get the Equation Editor window. On the Memu
in that window you can go back to Interactive edit or just close.

You don't have to use the batch editor, you can interactively edit
your equation from the Edit>Content mode. Notice on your Create menu
once you Edit>Content, you have all the equation functions and fonts
available as slide off selections.

Yes, there have been changes since 4.0. It's really easier now once
you know how to get where you want to be.

Three questions:
(Please reply to me directly at lmg@cup.hp.com and I'll summarize responses.)

1.  Is Interleaf 5.0 available for a Mac?  How much does it cost?
    I'm comparing FrameMaker, Interleaf, and Quark Express for a near future
    purchase.  I will be using a Powerbook 180.

2.  Does Interleaf 5.0 support these features?
     o count words in selected paragraphs
     o count words per page (excluding header and footer text and title)
     o count total words for a document (excluding "     "          "  )
    For that matter, does 4.0 support these features?  I use Interleaf 4.0 
    now (on a Sun workstation) and have not been able to find 
    these features in casual browsing through the menus.

3.  Are there any features in Interleaf that would be strong selling
    points to someone like me who submits manuscripts that must fit 
    certain word count guidelines?  What about add-on manuscript tracking
    tools for freelance writers (so I know which publisher has which
    manuscript when ... and when a particular manuscript is free for 
    further submission elsewhere)?

Greetings.

Here're a few things I would like to get more info about.

- Are there any greek font series for Ileaf other than the Classic
  Greek that comes with the standard package? This series is rather
  the Didot equivalent and I would like to use a Helvetika and
  Courier -like greek fonts as well;

- How can I assign a keystrokes sequence to produce a certain
  character? E.g. I would like COMPOSE-a to give the greek accented
  alpha, COMP-i the greek accented i etc.

- Is there a way to remap the current "greek" keyboard of Ileaf?
  It is not compatible with the standard Greek keyboard where
  the letter xi is located on j and not on x, for example.

I did not complain that the number of combinations that
could be used in the .RS/.RF pairs is too small;
these two-character strings are just difficult to 
remember when needed again for re-referencing.

The solution offered might do the job, but obviously, 
it's not as painless as it might/should be.

A related question: what other structures in troff use
the \*( prefix?  If it's only the \*(Rf/.RS/.RF
construct, would it be difficult to assign variable-length
strings to it? (just a wild guess; I'm not a programmer).

Note that .EQ and .EN lines, are copied through untouched.  To
automatically number your equations, just write macro definitions for
either .EQ or .EN, or adapt the ones you already use.

Here are answers for my two refer questions (of course there are more

1. refer with abbreviation when numbering is used.

	I have found that grefer (GNU verison of refer) does what I
	want. You can set a command to turn the abbreviation on. And
	it has much more features than refer.

	I was alos told that bib can do it too.

2. troff file with a line starting with ".".

	Add "\&" in front of . this way this line is not considered
	as troff command line and since "\&" is a zero length 
	non-printable character, you are ok.
