Download the Form Plug-Ins
|
Step
1: Download the plugin
If you need the plug-in to use these forms, please download the
appropriate plug-in:
OmniForm Internet Filler Plug-in for
Windows 3.1 (283K)
OmniForm Internet Filler Plug-in for
Windows 95/NT (361K)
OmniForm Internet Publisher
Plug-in for Macintosh (294K)
When you select the plug-in, you will see a display asking where you wish
to save the plugin and the name of the plugin installation program. Remember where
you save the file so that you may execute it afterwards. It will probably be easier
to locate the plug-in in the next step if you put it in the very top directory level of
the C drive. |
|
| Step 2: Install the plug-in Exit
from this program (after reading or printing these instructions) and execute the plug-in
installation program downloaded in the first step. You may do this by any of several
methods:
IBM PC and Compatibles:
- If you are using WIndows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 or later, you may use the "My
Computer" short-cut to locate the directory and run the program. After you
locate the executable, click on the icon to execute the installation program.
- From Windows 3.1 and older versions of Windows NT (3.51 or before), you may use the
"File Manager" utility to locate and execute the installation program.
- You may also enter commands in the MS-DOS Command Prompt window. For example, if
you downloaded the plug-in into the top file directory on the C: drive, you could enter:
cd C:\
oif16
Macintosh:
If you wish to install the Macintosh plug-in, please contact AeroFlight Tech Data for
assistance. The Macintosh plug-in is an untested release and may not work entirely
as desired.

| Step 3: Browser setting For
Netscape Navigator, an additional setting must be made for the plug-in to properly handle
the forms. Assuming that you are using a recent version of Netscape Navigator
(Version 4.0 or later):
- Start up the program
- Select "Edit" on the menu bar at the top of the Netscape Navigator
window
- St the bottom of the pop-up window that appears select the entry called "Preferences...".
- In the category window is an entry called "Navigator". To its' left is a
little box with either a + or a - symbol. If it is a +, click once on the box
containing the + sign..
- There should be two selections under the word "Navigator":
"Languages" and "Applications". Click on the word
"Applications".
- In the descriptions window to the right of the category window scroll down until you see
the words "Form (OFML)" appear. Click on "Form (OFML)" to
highlight the selection.
- Click on the "Edit..." button found to the right of the descriptions
window.
- In the dialog box which appears, there will be an empty box to the right of the words
"MIME Type". In this box, enter the words
"application/ofml" (without the quotes).
- Press the OK button on the "Edit..." dialog box and then on the
"Preferences..." dialog box.

ways to try out the installation.

from Caere Corporation
