DISCUSSION WARNING: The instructions in this article refer to using ResEdit to alter your system software. Apple Computer, Inc., is not liable for any damage done to your software through the use of ResEdit to alter the software. The User Assistance Center phone representatives (at 800-SOS-APPL) do not provide technical support for ResEdit. It is supported by APDA. For contact information on APDA, search the Tech Info Library under "APDA". You can incorporate graphic elements such as boldface and centered text, graphs, or pictures into SimpleText 1.1 documents as PICT resources. Here's how: 1. Create your document, type two carriage returns, an Option-Spacebar key sequence, and two more carriage returns in the places where you want to place the graphics or specially-formatted text. 2. Create your specially-formatted text or graphics and paste them into the Scrapbook. NOTE: The text will need to be in "PICT" format. You can use MacDraw or other similar application to create a PICT file. 3. Using ResEdit, open your SimpleText document. 4. Open the Scrapbook. Copy and paste your formatted text or graphics from the Scrapbook into the document. ResEdit will create a new resource of type "PICT" in your document. 5. When done, select Get Info from the Resource menu -- for ID type in "1000". Do the same for all the formatted text or graphics in the Scrapbook, remembering to increment the ID by 1 for each successive resource (1001, 1002, etc.). 6. Quit ResEdit, saving changes. 7. Open your SimpleText document. Insert or delete carriage returns to adjust the graphics and formatted text, which will be automatically centered. |
