A. iLEAP supports
Win 95/Win98/Win2000 Operating systems. iLeap is not
fully compatible with Win XP and Win2003 OS for certain
scripts. Please contact support.gist@cdac.in
for more information.
Q.
When we type certain conjuncts in Bengali in iLEAP a
box appears?
A. This problem
has been taken care of. Please visit the "Download"
section on http://www.cdac.in and download "updates
for Bengali"
Q.
Certain conjuncts are not supported in Sanskrit on Windows
2000 OS?
A. iLEAP has
a problem when Sanskrit is selected on the Win2000 operating
system. A solution to this problem is still awaited.
Q.
Sometimes editing of large files prepared in iLEAP is
not possible. It shows certain errors and iLEAP hangs?
A. Though this
problem is not consistent it does appear in certain
systems with low memory. Please upgrade the system configuration.
If required remove iLEAP from the system and reinstall
the same. It is also advisable to store content in small
files.
Q. While printing
on a USB printer an error "Stack Overflo" pops up. Printing
is not possible?
A.This problem
has been observed on the Win 98 operating system, which
is connected to a USB printer. The user can export the
iLEAP file as RTF and print from MS Word or any editor,
which supports the RTF format. There is no direct solution
as of now. However, it does print properly when printed
from the Win2000 Operating system.
Q.
During installation, a message showing 'Invalid Serial
Number Detected' is flashed.
A. This happens
usually because of an invalid entry of serial number.
Usually the confusion between the character 'O' and
digit '0' is the cause. Care should be taken to see
that the serial number should be entered in all caps
with no spaces in between.
Q.
Upon installation, the message 'Indian Language fonts
are already in use by other application of Windows.
You will have to close those applications and restart
WINDOWS. Or LEAP Office already installed. Kindly remove
the existing version and then install' is flashed.
A. If you observe
such a message then you will have to restart WINDOWS
as prompted and try installation once more. If there
is any other Indian Language software, which is in the
program startup group, you will have to remove it from
the startup group and then install.
Sometime, it
has been observed that the same message is flashed because
of conflict with other vendors' TT Fonts and even C-DAC
TT Fonts (if already there in the machine). Those TT
Fonts are to be removed and restart and install again.
Q.
After successful installation all the Languages are
not available in the menu upon right click.
A. This usually
happens because there are a large number of fonts installed
on your machine. The Windows registry allows only 64-KB
file for registration of fonts. In this case remove
the existing version of iLEAP and try installing with
'Typical option'. This will install minimum fonts on
your machine.
Q.
It is not possible to take a 'Quick Tour' on Win3.x.
A. 'Quick Tour'
requires Lotus ScreenCam and is designed only for Windows
95 and above.
Q.
While using Phonetic Keyboard it is not possible to
form some conjucts and vowels.
A. Phonetic English
keyboard involves typing with some rules. The mapping
table is giving in 'Help Menu', Typing Tutorials, and
Phonetic English. Here if you learn the table properly,
would be no problem typing with Phonetic English Keyboard.
Q.

the cursor disappears.

Q.
How can I send e-mail in Indian Languages?
A. *You need
to have a MAPI compliant eMail client (such as MS Outlook,
Eudora, etc.,) installed on your computer. Your computer
needs to be connected to a modem. Here, I would love
to see a small help on "How to configure Outlook/Eudora
etc."
1. Create your
document (English or multilingual).
2. Select the
Send Mail item in the File menu.
A 'Send Mail'
dialog box having the following options will be displayed.
a. LP2 file -
This option will send your iLEAP document as an attachment
in the mail. To be able to read your document, the recipient
needs to have iLEAP or iLEAP Office installed on his/her
computer. iLEAP Lite (Trial Copy) is available on the
Internet for a free download at http://www.cdac.in
b. RTF document
- If sent as a RTF document, fonts used in the document
need to be installed on the recipient's computer. Fonts
are also available on the Internet for a free download
at http://www.cdac.in.
Another facility provided by iLEAP is to send the font
installation exe, along
with the eMail itself. You can do this the first time
for every recipient
c. HTML document
- This also needs fonts on the recipient's PC as explained
above.
d. ISCII document
- This is for recipients who have a editor, wordprocessor
or GIST card which can recognize ISCII format
e. BMP document
(Monochrome). - Sends a monochrome Windows bitmap as
an attachment. This is preferred for recipients who
neither have fonts nor have iLEAP. They can just view
the mail and cannot do any editing on it. This generally
has a smaller size than the JPEG attachment. The first
visible page contents are sent.
f. JPEG document
(Monochrome) - Similar to the Windows BMP but is also
supported on non-Windows platforms.
*Tip: A BMP document
is smaller in size than a JPEG document.
3. Click on the
Send button. The eMail client window will be opened.
(This window and other subsequent
windows or dialogs presented will be dependent on the
eMail client software that has been installed on your
computer). Your document will be sent as an attachment.
(The format is dependent on the option that you select
in Step 3 above). Enter the eMail address that you want
to send to and other necessary options. Click OK.
Q.
Can I design my web pages using iLEAP?
A. Yes, you can

as HTML. Now you can upload this HTML document on your
website. You can also give a link for font downloading
from your website with proper acknowledgement to C-DAC.
Q.
Is it possible for anybody to view this Indian Language
document on the web?
A. For viewing
Indian Language page, the resident font for that language
should be resident on that machine. One can go to http://www.cdac.in
for free downloading of Indian Language fonts. You can
also give a link for font downloading from your website
with proper acknowledgement to C-DAC.

Q.
Is iLEAP available for network?

network version is not available. iLEAP has been designed

Q.
I experience some problems with text flow. Every page,
at times even a paragraph, become an independent text
block. How to join them? If I add some more text to
a block anywhere midway, will the remaining blocks adjust
their location automatically?
A. In both the
software, once the cursor appears on the page, a block
appears and it will continue till you shift + click
on the page elsewhere. Now these two become independent
blocks. If you want to edit the previous block, you
will have to move the lower block elsewhere to avoid
overlapping. The movement of the block will be possible
only in the block mode ('Edit' menu 'Frame').
Q.
To make columns all over the book, what do I do?
A. In the 'Edit
Menu' click 'Goto' and 'Master pages'. Type some text
on the left as well as right master page. Then go to
'Layout' and 'Make Column' option. Give appropriate
number. Stretch these columns to the entire page. Make
similar settings to the left master page. Delete the
text entered. Then again go to EDIT menu and click 'Document'.
Now start typing the document in the column format.
Q.
I have a problem to print Telugu script. The letters
are getting merged. This problem is not there with other
languages.
A. This is a
problem encountered with some printer drivers. You are
requested to change the printer driver of similar series
and try printing. This will solve the problem.
Q.
In iLEAP is it possible to work in Windows applications?
A. iLEAP is an
independent word processor. It does not allow the user
to work directly in other windows applications. However
it is possible to export content created in iLEAP in
RTF format. This RTF text can be opened in other windows
based applications. In any case it is recommended to
use Leap Office to work in other windows based applications
as in addition to being an independent word processor
it also allows you to use these fonts in other Windows
based applications.
Q.
After I start iLEAP, sometimes I get a message that
"Indian Language fonts are not available etc." and inside
iLEAP, only english is shown as the language. What do
I do?
A. Uninstall
iLEAP, make sure all the C-DAC fonts are removed from
the machine (you can do this by selecting the fonts
from the control panel font folder and hitting delete).
Remove all iLEAP entries (if any) from Win.ini. Restart
the machine and reinstall.
Q.
Does iLEAP work with Windows Vista / Windows 7?
A. No, iLeap is not tested to work on Windows Vista/Windows 7. Please get in touch with info.gist@cdac.in for new Products.
