Troubleshooting


	MA116 Spring 2000 FINAL EXAM REVIEW SCHEDULE

Problem: Using Open Location from the Dorms

Scientific Notebook uses Internet Explorer to process web content, this includes the translation of hyperlinks that are present within the Webcalc Documents.

To set Internet Explorer, and to set Scientific Notebook up for use with the proxies and WebCalC, you must do the following:

Click the Start button.

Move your mouse to Settings.

Move your mouse and click on Control Panel.

Double click on Internet Options.

Click on the Connections tab.

Click on LAN Settings...

Uncheck the boxes next to:

	Automatically detect settings
	Use automatic configuration script
	Bypass proxy server for local addresses

Check the box next to: Use a proxy server

Type:

	for Address: proxy3.cc.stevens-tech.edu
	for Port: 80

Click Advanced

Uncheck the box next to: Use the same proxy server for all protocols

Change the Proxy address to use box for Socks: proxy1.stevens-tech.edu and its associated Port: 1080

Have nothing in the lower entry box (named Exceptions)

Hit OK

Close Control Panel

Run Scientific Notebook

	Click File
	Click Open Location
	enter the correct address for Webcalc which is: http://golem.math.stevens-tech.edu/webcalc/mindex.tex

Problem: The WebCalc pages do not look right

	Put the file webmath.cst in the folder C:\SciNotebook\Styles\article
	This should allow WebCalC to open properly.

Problem: You get a message about a missing dll file when you try to run SNB

You will have to download these files into your Windows/System directory (not the System 32 directory that is also under Windows if you have Windows 98). Hold down the shift key as you click to download sh32w32.dll and sh33w32.dll .

More information about SNB can be obtained from the Help files that come with this program. You may also want to visit the SNB site at scinotebook . Recently MacKichan Software, Inc. purchased the rights to SNB. Their web site MacKichan also contains information about SNB.

Problem: Characters do not print correctly

When preparing to print, view the printer properties and specify that True Type Fonts should be printed as graphics. This generally should be specified when printing on campus network printers.

Problem: Font size is not available

Additional font sizes are available with instructions by clicking here.

Problem: SNB crashes when printing

Workaround: The problem seems to be that SNB can't print any Maple graphs. All graphs generated must be converted to WMF's, pictures of the graphs, in order to print. This is accomplished by:

Open the Plot Properties dialogue box.

Select the View tab and click on Generate Snapshot.

A *.wmf file with the name indicated by Filename: has been created in the same directory as the file you are working on.

Use File menu, Import Picture to insert the new *.wmf into the document.

Remove the graph that was generated by Maple

NOTE: You may want to do this with a backup copy of the document since the *.wmf are pictures and you cannot make changes to them the way you can with Maple plots.
