Re: Step by step to using Pali resources

Dear Jim,
Thanks for this. I downloaded the program and everything works Ok
but I couldn't figure out how to save a volume ?? It could be very
useful as I could save it all onto my harddrive and use a special
search engine in addition cscd. I have version 3 of cscd.

Dear Robert;

If you only wish to copy a short extract from the CSCD:
a) select the text you wish to copy with your mouse (words, phrases,
sentences, paragraphs)
b) press Ctrl-C

This will copy the text to the Clipboard, and you can Paste it into
any
other program you wish to use. You will then need to select the
text, and
choose one of the VriRomanPali fonts to see the correct Pali
characters.

Since there are "hard-return" characters and such in the CSCD text,
I added
a feature in Palitrans 2.0 that will clean out most of that for you
automatically. There is a button called "Paste from CSCD" in
Palitrans 2.0

If you then with to include the text in Velthuis ("standard
transliteration") format, you can use Palitrans 2.0 to do this.

a) select the text
b) press the "Pali Font to Standard Transliteration" button
c) then, you can "Copy and Paste" the text like you would with any
other
program.""">>

Note that Jim has placed Palitrans in the files section.
best wishes
robert
