To start a new
chess document, simply right-click on the template file itself, and
select New from the menu of options that pops up. This will
create a new document whose initial name is Untitled1. When
you save the document, you can give it a proper name. Do not
right-click on the template file and then select Open. If you
do this, you will actually be editing the template file itself,
something that you don't want to do. (In fact, this is such a
common mistake, that you really should have backup copies of your
Template(s), just in case you accidentally alter it.)
When you run the
template, you'll likely be shown a Security Warning screen that
indicates that the file contains macros. You must click Enable
Macros to be able to use any of the template's code. (To get rid
of this screen forever, see Setting a Folder as a Trusted Source
for Running Macros on the previous page.)
When
Writer is fully launched, you'll see a message from the template that
indicates the chess fonts that it found. (The Alpine Template only
looks for the xxxDiagram and xxxFigurine fonts, where xxx is any of
Linares, Zurich and Hastings. The Marroquin Template looks for all of
Armando Marroquin's “Chess Xxx” diagram fonts as well as the
FigurineSymbolTx fonts.)
If
you don't have any of the chess fonts supported by the template
installed on your computer, you'll see a message that states, “None
of the required chess fonts are installed.” In this case, you won't
be able to use the template file, certainly not to it's fullest
capabilities.
