Apple Newton Press (Macintosh) - Manual (Page 22)

The Newton Press application can bring in files created by many commonly
used Macintosh applications. For more information about the kinds of
documents you can add, see the Readme file installed with the Newton Press
software.
Adding a new document
Before you add a document, make sure that the text and any graphics within
the document can be added successfully. Newton Press can add many types of
documents that incorporate text and graphics. However, certain applications
create text or graphics that the Newton Press application can’t add. For
example, if a word-processing document contains tables of information
formatted in cells, the Newton Press application can’t interpret this type of
table. You must convert such tables to text separated by tab stops and the
application can then add the tables to a book. If a word-processing document
has footnotes, Newton Press will not add them.
Newton Press can add several types of graphics. (For a list of the graphic
formats that Newton Press can import, see the Readme file installed with the
Newton Press software.) If a document contains graphics in a special format
that Newton Press can’t import, you should eliminate them from the
document you want to add. For more information about adding graphics, see
“Bringing Graphics into a Book” later in this chapter.
When you add a file, the Newton Press application automatically checks the
text to see what fonts are used. If the application detects fonts that aren’t
available on a Newton PDA, the application allows you to choose suitable
fonts to be substituted. For more information about font substitution, see
“Using Fonts” in Chapter 3.
A document is always added to the end of the book. You can select and move
the added information to a different position if you want.
