How to use Tapestry DE

Download everything you need from the Download Center

Step 1. Download and install LockLizard Safeguard Viewer

You may have done this already if you have other DE products.

Step 2. Refresh your LockLizard License

Every time you purchase a new Tapestry DE product, you'll need to refresh your LockLizard license by going to the Download Center.

Step 3. Download and install the Tapestry Setup.

You've done this already! You may need to re-install if there have been any changes.

If your computer doesn't automatically "run" or "install" the downloaded file, you'll need to find the file you downloaded and run it by double-clicking on it. When you follow the steps of the installer program, it will put the files in the appropriate places on your hard drive.

Using Tapestry DE

Units and Week-plans

It's easy to find your place each week! Select your unit from above. Then, if you wish to scroll through (or print) an entire unit, click on the cover picture. If you wish to jump straight to specific sections of the week-plan, click on the week you wish to see from the dynamic menu to the right and then click on "Curriculum". Clicking on a link on the Slate will take you straight into the viewer powered by LockLizard Safeguard Viewer , where you can see (and print) the curriculum.

Supplements

You can see all the documents you need for your supplements (like MapAids, PopQuiz and Evaluations) by clicking a week and selecting the supplement. Clicking on a link on the Slate will take you straight into the viewer powered by LockLizard Safeguard Viewer , where you can see (and print) the document.

Bookmarks

Once inside the LockLizard Safeguard Viewer, you can view documents with or without the use of bookmarks. When you click the bookmark icon , these appear in a menu to the left. If you see a plus (+) sign, click it to find even more specific subsections that will aid you in navigating (and printing) your curriculum quickly and easily. Want the bookmarks to disappear? Click the bookmark icon  in the menu bar at the top of the page again. When you reopen them, they'll be just as you left them!

Mac users: The "bookmark" option is available for you, but it's called an "outline." Go to the View menu and select "Toggle Outline & Search" if you don't see it.

Searching

One of the most exciting new features about Tapestry DE is the search feature. Just click the magnifying glass icon  on the toolbar at the top of your Lizard viewer to see a dialog box that gives you choices of how to search. Try checking the "show search results dialog" feature; it lets you see all instances of your targeted word or phrase in context, and jump to any of them with a single click!

Mac users: To search, type in the box next to the magnifying glass icon  on the right side, under the outline. Go to the View menu and select "Toggle Outline & Search" if you don't see it.

Viewing

From the top menu, select Views to see your documents in various views. Included under "page layout" are "continuous," "full page," and "facing pages," the last of which lets you see a two-page spread just like you would if the curriculum were printed before you. You can magnify or shrink pages in each of these views so that the text and pictures are perfectly sized for each unique viewer. You can also use the full screen icon  to remove any distractions from screen viewing!

Mac users: Right-click (or Control-Click) on a page to select different viewing options.

Printing

Settings for size and layout of our pages are easy to adjust on your printer; you can set the size of your printed page to exactly the way you like it. Click on the printer icon  and fill in the dialog box to get started. We suggest you start by printing one page out of your year-plan. If you're missing anything (particularly the page number at the bottom of the page), you'll want to check (or uncheck) "Fit contents to page" in the Print dialog box. Also remember that Lampstand Press offers a print-on-demand service, whereby you can get an entire unit printed for 5 cents per page plus shipping (the total cost depends on the page count of the actual unit). Allow two to three weeks for delivery from time of order. See contact information below.

The LockLizard viewer has terrific support for you: click on Help in the top menu bar to find their full product manual, which you can view digitally or print out for easy reference.

Some error messages you might see

"Failed to check license. Unable to initialize license store"

You need to be logged onto your computer as an administrator to be able to register the license file. Without the additional rights, the keystore file cannot be created. Log on as an administrator and try again. If that doesn’t work, remove the keystore.

"Error 1284:68 cannot connect to server www.locklizard-license2.co.uk Error 2" or "Error 12057 cannot connect to licensing server"

(These instructions apply even if you don't use Internet Explorer as your internet browser.)

Go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Security options and uncheck "Check for publisher's certificate revocation" and "Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)."

Click Apply and OK.

Restart your computer and then refresh your LockLizard license.

"You are not authorized to view this document."

This is caused by one of three things:
1. You have not purchased that unit or supplement. Call Customer Service at 1-800-705-7487 to purchase it.
2. You have purchased it and need to refresh your license at Step 2 of the Download Center. This will update your computer so it knows you've made that purchase.
3. If you've checked both of the previous suggestions, we may have it wrong in the database. Call Technical Support at 1-877-621-7021 for assistance.

"Error 67:94 Error opening keystore file."

It takes a little bit of time to check your LockLizard license. Wait to click a second link until the first document opens.

"Three instances of LockLizard Safeguard Secure PDF Viewer are already running. Please close one or all of them and try again."

You can only have three LockLizard documents open at the same time.
