  • What's New in Version 2.0

    A number of changes and enhancements have been added in version 2.0.

  • To begin with, there is a new PsuThesi Main toolbar:

    A new [Display] menu has been added and the former [Hotlist] menu removed. Hotlists are now handled by the Autotype toolbar found in the [Display] menu.

    The following buttons have been added on the right-hand end:

    [Return] - replaces the former popup [Return] function
    [Open] - invokes the new Open Thesis File dialog box
    [Reset] - use to reset Psuthesi when there is an error
    [Stop] - use to unload the Psuthesi template at the end of a session
  • New Open Thesis File Menu

    This is automatically displayed at startup or when you use the [Open] button on the main toolbar and it has a shortcut of Alt+O. It is also on the menu [Files]>(Open Thesis File...). Its primary function is to let you select a thesis file and [Open] it.

    It presents a list of your files [A], according to your thesis settings, with titles [B] that you can assign [C] to remember what is in which file. It also presents the two optional ways to open a master document [D]. More help...

  • New Help for dialog boxes

    The [Help] button on the Open Thesis File dialog box above now appears on most of the PsuThesi dialog boxes. If you click the button, it will search for the help file in either a Help subfolder in your thesis folder or if you are connected it will go to the PsuThesi Help website.

  • New Autotype replaces Hotlists

    The former [Hotlist] facility has been replaced with a new Autotype facility that handles frequently used phrases. Use [Display]>(Autotype) to display the autotype toolbar. The [Menu] button [A] on the toolbar will invoke the Autotype Menu dialog box so you can [Add] [C] an entry which can then be typed in the text by clicking [D], e.g., "frequently used phrase".

  • New file Backup Function

    Pull down [Files]>(Backup Thesis Files...). This will make a backup copy of your current thesis files in a subfolder /Backup#. More help...

  • New Create Master Document Function

    Pull down [Files]>(Create Master Document...). More help...

  • New Cross Reference Dialog

    Pull down [Chapter]>(Cross Reference...) or use the shortcut Alt+X. This now combines both the type of item to reference and the choice of file. More help...

  • New Bibliography Editor

    Pull down [Bibliography]>(Bibliography Editor...) More help...

  • New Bibliography Importer

    Pull down [Bibliography]>(Bibliography Importer...) More help...
