Dell OptiPlex Gxi - Manual (Page 58)

Production Notes
1. Step one for me was to create a flow diagram for the template so I would have a clear picture how all the files were connected. I also used the flow diagram to
map any changes I was planning to make to the flow laid out in the template.
2. Created Specs.htm.
¡ I noticed that the template could use proofing by an editor.
¡ I decided to create a production notes htm file for all my notes to myself and the team. Notes only to myself will have a black box in front of them. Notes
to the team will have a hollow circle in front of them.
n Go back and add riser board graphics to specs.htm.
¡ We need to decide if we are going to use spacer.gif to create indents, or the indents command. One problem with the graphic is that if the indented text
needs to wrap, it won't wrap flush left. Also, if someone has there graphics set to not autoload, each spacer.gif will show up as a big graphics button.
¡
¡ Need to decide if footnotes go at the bottom of the page, or the bottom of the subsection to which they apply. Need to decide what font size to use for
footnotes.
¡ At one point in my work my WSIWIG display started jerking around. I hit Edit\Refresh and it corrected the problem. I've figured out that it is important to
refresh regularly or the display starts getting wierd.
n Maxium shock, operating, doesn't make any sense.
3. Create jumpers.htm. Since we rarely see switches anymore, I think it is better to have a Jumpers section, and a Controls section. There is no reason to combine
these two.
¡ As I began working on jumpers the question occurs to me--how do we edit the jumper bitmaps.
¡ I noticed that in the template we have used the OptiPlex 5xx name a lot in bookmarks and titles. I think it would be better to keep titles and bookmark
names generic in the template. Actually I think the whole template could be a lot more generic.
¡ While copying and pasting some paragraphs from word to frontpage I noticed a few things. The copy works and looks find in the WSYWIG view, but if
you look at the code, the paragraph styles aren't there. So for example, if you copy over the heading "memory", which was a Heading 3 in word, it will not
show up as a <H3> in the code. It will show up as a regular paragraph with
< font size=" 4 " >< b >Memory< /b >< /font > . This may appear to look ago, but good
confuse things. The solution to this problem is to save the Word data as HTML using Internet Assistant, then import the HTML code that Internet
Assisntant created.

10. Miscellaneous Notes
¡ When Editors print out a file for editing, they should be printing from Netscape. In Netscape, under File\Page Setup, there is dialoge box that lets you
create headers with the Document Title and Document Location, and footers with the document page number, page total and date printed. These should
all be used. As an editing check list, make sure the document title is appropriate.
