Prestwood Writing Suite 1.5 Now Shipping

Rich text support, instant spell mode, new hotkeys, and much more.

 
SACRAMENTO, CA -- June 1, 2000 --
Today Prestwood started shipping version PWS 1.5 which includes updates to TraySuite and PrestoEdit. The single user price is $49.95 and site licenses and volume discounts are available. Version 1.5 is a free upgrade for current registered PWS users.

New 1.5 features include the following:

Rich Text Support
Tray Suite now more accurately spell checks working applications which use Rich Text, such as WordPad, Outlook and Outlook Express.

Instant Spell, with Active Spell
Quick way to type a single word and instantly see if it is misspelled, as indicated by the red squiggly underline. Instant Spell is intended to be used for quickly spell checking a word or a few words, however it is a mini-editor and can perform the basic Rich Text Editor functions.

Added to Single and Double Click in Left Mouse Click Preferences:
Open Instant Spell
Open Spell Check Configuration
Open Preferences

Better Use of the ClipBoard
Changed the behavior of the Spell Check Dialog, it now attempts to avoid the ClipBoard (unless you have the ClipBoard set to full screen). This better avoids the text you are spell checking in the ClipBoard, allowing you to more easily view the text as you spell check.

New Hotkeys
The new Tray Suite completely changes the internal way it stores and handles its HotKeys and enhances the number of combinations available. You can now use many new and different combinations, see below for the complete list or look in the HotKey combobox on Preferences.

New Default HotKeys

Definitions (Application) = Ctrl + Alt + F6
Spell Check (Application) = Ctrl + Alt + F7
Thesaurus (Application) = Ctrl + Alt + F8
Open Editor = Ctrl + Alt + F5
Definitions (ClipBoard) = Ctrl + Alt + F9
Spell Check (ClipBoard) = Ctrl + Alt + F10
Thesaurus (ClipBoard) = Ctrl + Alt + F11
Open Instant Spell = Ctrl + Alt + F12

HotKeys now can use 107 different keys, in addition to CTRL, SHIFT, ALT and WIN

The following is a list of defects that were fixed in version 1.5:

The Edit button on the General Options' Filters
Highlighting Schemes tab correctly opens the proper Highlighting Scheme.

Right-click menu
Now properly shows when the Right-click keyboard key is pressed. Right-click menu now shows if the EditTab's tab is clicked.

No Printer Installed Fix
Fixed a problem when EditorPro was run on a computer which has no Printer. EP now ignores the fact that no printer is installed.
