ProGlyph

ProGlyph is a set of macros designed to work seamlessly with EZGlyph to allow the user to create professional quality hieroglyphic text directly in a Word document.

ProGlyph is fast and easy to use, with a quick learning curve And the results are outstanding. All of the hieroglyphic texts on this web site were created using ProGlyph.

ProGlyph utilizes the EZGlyph font families to allow the input of Hieroglyphs directly into a Word document. In addition ProGlyph contains about 50 macros that work within Word to make formatting the hieroglyphic text a snap.

ProGlyph and EZGlyph include our exclusive Font Tray for easy and quick input of hieroglyphs into a Word document under either Windows or Mac. With the Font tray you simply click the glyph in the Tray and it will appear at the cursor location in your document (cut and paste or drag on a Mac)

Once the characters have been inserted into the Word document you can use the preassigned Hot Keys to format the text.

In this way the text shown below was created using the Font Tray. It was then formatted with just 6 keystrokes. The same formatting would have required 59 keystrokes had we not used the macros included with ProGlyph.

Individual characters can be reversed, widened, narrowed, moved up, moved down, colored red or black, enlarged or reduced in size, using standard Word commands. In short, ProGlyph can create almost any hieroglyphic text that you can imagine, quickly and easily.

And because ProGlyph is part of a complete system that uses only standard Word commands, any text created by ProGlyph can be read without any loss or distortion in any Word document in which the EZGlyph fonts are installed.

ProGlyph contains all of the above features. In addition, using only three keystrokes, it converts a text, which has been input according the rules of the Manuel de Codage (MdC), into hieroglyphs without ever leaving the Word document.

Thus, with just three keystrokes, the following MdC compliant text:

is converted into:

without the user ever leaving Word. There are no graphics to contend with, and the entire text behaves like any other text in a Word document. Because the final hieroglyphic text is NOT dependent of the ProGlyph program with which it was created, it will display correctly on any computer that has the EZGlyph font families installed.

Because the text is totally compatible with Word, adjustments can easily be made. For example it might be desireable to reduce the size of the sun disk following the initial horus. Simply highlight the glyph and Superscript it, to produce:

One of the best features of ProGlyph is the fact that everything is in Word. There are no graphics involved at any stage. This means that your document can be edited at any time, even months or years after it was created. Try that with a graphics based hieroglyphic set!
