Continuing with our coverage of PRIME 97's feature set, last time we featured Bookmark Manager and in this issue Create Program Shortcut is up to bat.
Did you ever want to create a shortcut to the current Word document, and put that shortcut in the Start Programs group of your choice, all without leaving Word? That's what PRIME 97's Create Program Shortcut utility does. You can also add a new group to your Start Programs menu, all from the same dialog box.
When you run it, this utility first checks to see if the current document has been saved. If it hasn't, it prompts you to do so and provides the common Save As dialog for your convenience. Once the file is saved, the utility's main dialog box appears.
The Choose Existing Program Menu Group list box displays all your program groups sorted alphabetically.
The New Shortcut Description text box displays the current document's filename, which you can overtype with a description of your choosing.
The Shortcuts Currently in Chosen Group list box displays all the shortcuts in the current group, sorted alphabetically.
The Add Group button invokes a new dialog box panel with an Add a New Program Menu Group text box and the prior New Shortcut Description text box. Once you enter a new group and click OK, the new group is added to your Programs menu and the current document is instantly added to that new group using the shortcut description you typed in.
Create Program Shortcut is just one of dozens of productivity- enhancement utilities in PRIME 97 for Word 97.
