IMPORTANT: The 'Panic Mode' feature should only be used as a last resort.

If 'Panic Mode' is enabled the WinCue terminal will stop trying to read updates

from NewsMaker, as soon as 'Panic Mode' is disabled the WinCue terminal will re-

start trying to read updates from NewsMaker.

NOTE: Any changes to the runorder and stories on WinCue while in 'Panic Mode'

will be lost as soon as 'Panic Mode' is disabled.

'Panic Mode'. When the button is shown as pressed in 'Panic Mode' is enabled,

The runorder can be changed on WinCue by dragging and dropping stories with the

mouse.

To Delete/drop a story, left-click (select) the story and then press the 'Delete' key, the

story will then be moved to the 'Trash Can' at the bottom of the screen (stories can be

dragged back out of the 'Trash Can').

To Insert a New story, right-click below the placement for the new story.

A drop-down menu will then appear, select 'New', then 'Single-column Script'.

You will be asked for the name/title of the new story, type it in and select the 'OK'

button.

Double-click on a story to view it and edit it. The editor works in a similar way to most

Windows Word Processors.

IMPORTANT: You must press the 'F7' function key after editing a story for it to be

updated on the prompt output.
