Important notes for Windows users
- Most menu commands have a speedkey assigned to them, making it much easier to select them. For example, pressing Left-Alt-N will create a new text file. The speedkey to press is shown alongside its respective menu item.
- Most screenshots in this help system come from the MacOS version of Japanese WordMage. Dialogs in the Windows version are generally identical in function to the MacOS version, and if they are different, a Windows screenshot is included for clarity.
- A disk drive called JWM may be shown in the file selection dialog when the Drive button is pressed. When this drive is displayed, the contents listed are actually the contents of the Apps folder, which is located inside the Japanese WordMage folder.
- Macintosh files are stored as two separate parts on PC disks, because of differences between the file systems ie. a file called Doc23 on the Macintosh would be stored as Doc23 and %Doc23 on a PC disk. The File transfer command in the Special menu allows you to move files around whilst ensuring that both parts are always moved together.
- Make sure you never use filenames larger than 31 characters, since the file system used by Japanese WordMage is based on the Macintosh file system and using larger filenames will have undesirable results.
