ClipBook Viewer: Page-Sharing Problems

• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

You may experience the following problems when using ClipBook Viewer to share ClipBook pages:

Page Name Length and Display Problems

When you paste from the system Clipboard to the local Clipboard, you are prompted for a page name. The Paste dialog box limits the page name to 47 characters. However, in the local ClipBook window, the page name is displayed as a 46-character string. Throughout the ClipBook Viewer dialog boxes, the page name may or may not be truncated by one or a half of a character. When you attempt to connect to another shared ClipBook page with a 47-character name, only about 35 characters are visible. These problems do not prevent you from sharing pages or connecting to shared pages.

Incorrect Positioning of Computer and Page Names

In the Enter Network Password dialog box, the Computer Name and Page Name fields are not centered properly. Both names appear half a character higher than normal.

No Context Sensitive Help in Enter Network Password Dialog Box

When you attempt to connect to a shared ClipBook page that requires a password, no context-sensitive help (F1) is available. The Help button functions normally.

Same Passwords for Full and Read-Only Access

When you set the passwords for full and read-only access to your shared ClipBook pages, ClipBook allows you to use the same password for both types of access.
