VERSION 1.30B515 73  QTV 1998
A message box will appear if you are currently prompting the runorder. It will ask if you
are sure that you want to close it, select 'Yes' if you are sure.
Once all the open runorders are closed, the 'Runorder/Queue Browser' will
automatically be displayed, if this is not so then go to 'Opening a NewsMaker
Runorder on WinCue'.
3.4.6 Prompting a NewsMaker Runorder on WinCue
NOTE: A NewsMaker Runorder should be prompted from start to finish in listed
order (i.e. The prompt operator is not required to jump back and forth within a
runorder. The runorder should be re-ordered using NewsMaker.)
SAFE PRACTICE: Due to the way in which NewsMaker updates the prompter
automatically it is necessary that if the prompting between two stories is not
continuous (e.g. The prompt is stopped at the end of a story while a video clip is
played (VT)) the prompt operator does not pre-empt the gallery by prompting into
what they believe to be the next story to be prompted.
Information displayed on the WinCue runorder:
A yellow bar on the runorder indicates which story you are currently prompting, the
'prompt bar'.
A black bar on the runorder indicates which story you have 'selected'. This can be
done by left-clicking on with the mouse, this black bar can be ignored.
Double left-click on a story to view the text of the story, use the far-right scroll bar to
view more of the story.
The runorder word count column displays the number of words in a story. If there are
no words in a story its word count box will be coloured red to indicate that it may be
worth querying the gallery why there is no text in the story. It is only worthwhile querying
a story if you believe that there should be some text in the story.
The runorder status column displays information about the status of a story.
If a stories status box is coloured red it indicates that the status information is relatively
important and may be worth querying.
