In these tips, I refer to Cliptracker which is a
clipboard handling program. If you do not have such a program, you can paste (control V)
directly into either a word processing program or a graphics editing program, depending on
the operation you want to complete. |
|
The font this example uses is called Linares. |
|
As of this date, these instructions apply to both
CBLite and CB7. |
| |
|
| Summary of What Is covered |
|
You can get a diagram into MS Word using Linares |
|
You can make CB Lite print in Linares. |
|
You can NOT (yet) make a bit map image in anything else
but the CB diagram font. |
|
You can NOT make the diagram in the notation window use
the Linares fonts |
| |
| Basic technique to grab a diagram you are
viewing in a game and save it. |
| 1 |
Open a game. |
| 2 |
Go to a position that you want a diagram of |
| 3 |
Pull down the Printing menu, select Diagram
->Clipboard |
| 4 |
In Cliptracker, save the most recent thing added to the
clipboard as a .bmp |
| Note: |
If I did a Control V of the clipboard into MS word, I
get the character representation. |
| Note: |
If I do a Control V of the clipboard into my graphic
editing program, I get the image |
| Note: |
It all depends on what you paste into. Clip tracker lets
you save specifically as a graphic file so you don't need any other programs if you choose
to use it. |
|
|
|
If you now install a font with the help of Windows Help,
be sure to exit CB because the fonts will not show up in the programs selections until you
exit and restart the program. |
| |
|
| Setting up to use a specific font in your
diagrams. |
| 1 |
Go to Printing - Page Set up - Diagrams |
| 2 |
Check the True Type box. |
| 3 |
Click the TT Options button |
| 4 |
Click the Font button |
| 5 |
Select LinaresDiagramCBWIN then do Ok |
| 6 |
Pick Chess Base Standard from the pull down then Ok out
of everything. |
| Note: |
If you print a game that has a diagram in it, (do a ctl
a to open the annotation window then do a ctl d to paste in a little square that causes a
diagram to be printed there), it will come out with the linares font. |
| Note: |
If you do a diagram to clipboard as described before and
paste into Word, you get the charactor representation. If you now change the font to
LinaresDiagramCBWIN, you will get the diagram. It looks bad on screen but prints out fine.
