[How to Use ErezPP1LTR]
=======================
ErezPP1LTR provides comprehensive examples of VB projects.
To see the examples, use your Visual Basic to load the project file: Sample_ErezPP_LTR.vbp,
in the Erez Print Preview_LTR1 directory (or other directory where you preferd to install
the files), or click Start, Program Files, Erez Print Preview_LTR1, Samples_Visual Basic 6.


[Documentation]
===============

The control has help file named ErezPP.chm.
You can run the help file by clicking F1 after loading the control. The container form has
API function that loads the ErezPP.chm from App.Path 


[ErezPP1LTR Files]

ErezPP1LTR.ocx - Erez OCX file
ErezPP.chm - Erez help file


[Registering The Control]
=========================
You must register the ErezPP1LTR.ocx file before it can be used. Fortunately the setup
program will register the control for you.
However, if you move an OCX, you must re-register the control in its new location.
You can manually register an OCX with regsvr32.exe, for example:
"regsvr32 c:\windows\system\ErezPP1LTR.ocx"
or "regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\ErezPP1LTR.ocx" etc.


[Files To Distribute]
=====================
When you distribute your application that uses the ErezPP1LTR control, you need to
distribute the OCX file: ErezPP1LTR.OCX

In order for ErezPP1LTR to work correctly, put the OCX file on your end
user system folder, for example WINDOWS\SYSTEM (WIN98) or WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (WINXP).
