Settings
Before the combination of both the TOP le and the MS Ofce document
(e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint), you should make the settings rst.
To make the settings, click on the Setting and perform the following:
1 Click on the rst “Select” button to select
the background ofce document or the
“Current“ button to select the already
opened ofce document (supports single
page only).
2 Click on the second “Select“ button to
select the TOP document.
You will see the background ofce document
and the TOP document appear as the screen
on the right.
3Drag over the TOP document or use the
slide bar to adjust the position on the background document.
4Drag the edges of the TOP document or use the slide bar to adjust
the Size.
5 Select a proper angle if necessary.
When the above setting is done, press the Save Setting (*.epst) button to
record the position, size and angle settings and then press OK to exit.
To open the setting le, press the Load Setting (*.epst) button to bring in
the setting.
TIP 1:
Imagine the TOP le and the ofce document are 2 image layers.
The rst one (a handwritting TOP document) always keeps in front
and the later (a document with blank form on it) always stay in the
background. To merge both perfectly, you have to adjust the position,
size or angle so as the TOP contents stay in the correct place of the
blank form.
At last, all the above adjustments will be recorded and saved as
a setting le (*.epst) for future use. Next time when you want to
combine any TOP le with the same layout as the one you have
done before, just load the Ofce Form Setting (refer to page 10)
and the TOP contents will be combined with the form automatically
without further adjustments.
TIP 2:
For better le management, we recommend you to name the
setting le (*.epst) based on the lename of the background ofce
document.
