=========== BOOKSHELF AND WINDOWS NT ========================

The following are known issues related to using Bookshelf with Windows NT. Where possible, solutions or workarounds are provided.

Audio and NT

 * When Bookshelf is installed on a machine running Windows NT 3.1, you may not hear audio clips, such as pronunciations, in Bookshelf. Windows NT 3.1 cannot play audio in the format that Bookshelf uses.

QuickShelf Find and NT

 * When your machine is running Windows NT, you can experience problems when you select a word in another application and use QuickShelf to perform a full-text search on the word in Bookshelf. Bookshelf will appear but the search will not be performed because QuickShelf cannot move the text out of the application running in NT.

Keep Bookshelf open on your desktop as an icon, so you have easy access to it from other applications when you want to do a full-text search on a word.

QuickShelf Keys and NT

 * When your machine is running Windows NT, you may not be able to use QuickShelf key combinations from 32-bit applications because QuickShelf cannot move text out of these NT applications.

In this case, keep Bookshelf open on your desktop as an icon; this way you will have quick access to it.

=== QUICKSHELF NOTES ================

For QuickShelf and Windows NT issues, see the “Bookshelf and Windows NT” section, above.

QuickShelf Keys and MS-DOS Use

 * QuickShelf keys allow you to look up selected text in Bookshelf from any Windows application. However, you cannot bring up Bookshelf using QuickShelf keys from an MS-DOS application or from the MS-DOS prompt. Additionally, selected text in an MS-DOS application will not be used to perform a QuickShelf lookup when using the QuickShelf buttons. Other windows applications that do not copy text in the standard way also may not work with QuickShelf.

QuickShelf and Quote of the Day

 * Whenever you use the Quote of the Day dialog box, the QuickShelf keys are disabled.

QuickShelf and the Clipboard

 * Clicking a QuickShelf button or using a QuickShelf key combination replaces the contents of the Clipboard.

Moving the QuickShelf Toolbar

 * Open the QuickShelf Customize menu by either right-clicking on the Toolbar or by left-clicking the down arrow button at the right end of the Toolbar, and then clicking Customize. Click the Customize View Tab, and then select either Regular buttons or Large buttons, and click OK. QuickShelf now has a title bar you can click in and then drag to a new location.
