INSTALLATION Claris Home Page Lite will install the following folders and files onto your hard disk: - The Claris Home Page Lite application - A Clip Art folder and images - A Help folder, containing files in HTML format - An empty Startup folder. (If you would like Home Page to automatically open a file, such as a library, place that file or a shortcut to it in this folder). - A "Templates" folder, containing web page templates for different styles of pages - This Read Me file - A text file version of the Claris Software License Agreement When installing Claris Home Page Lite, free disk space of approximately 20MB is required for use as temporary space during the installation process. 2. TECHNICAL NOTES AND TIPS A. Find/Change Limitation Find in Find/Change is limited to 31 characters. A Find for a text string longer than 31 characters followed by a Replace replaces only the first 31 characters of that string. B. Double-clicking on an HTML File Opens it in a Browser Only one application is allowed to be the default viewer for a given file extension. In this case, the browser is the default viewer for HTML files, so it is opened when you click on an HTML file. To open an HTML file in Claris Home Page Lite, drag the file itself (not a shortcut) to the Claris Home Page icon, or start Claris Home Page Lite directly, and choose Open from the File menu. You can also change the association of the file type-see your Windows documentation for more details. C. Multiple Browsers can be Opened When a Page is Previewed Some browsers will restart each time a page is previewed and a new copy of the application is opened. To free memory, close the application windows not in use. D. Inserting AVI Files Insert .AVI files through the Insert Plugin menu item. AVI files will not show in the Insert QuickTime movie dialog. E. Working With Remote Files If you're exchanging files with a site outside a network firewall that requires PASV ftp, you'll need to use a different application to upload and download files. The save may appear to work, but will create blank files 0k in size. F. QuickTime Movies for Web Pages QuickTime Movies need to be flattened to play in web browsers. G. Crash after inserting a QuickTime movie Video cards that use Hardware Drivers for QuickTime may cause a crash with Home Page if you insert a QuickTime or QuickTime VR movie. To fix this problem go into the QuickTime control panel and click "More". Select the "Video" tab. Under "Current Video Settings" set "Draw Method" from "Hardware Driver" to "Video Driver". H. Resizing Movie Files Movie files, such as QuickTime VR panorama or .AVI files insert very small. They must be be resized manually. I.
