Using Sentences...

Step 1: Type a word in English or Norwegian in the search box. There is a search box for both languages.  Click "Search." If this word exists in any sentences, a list will appear for your
selection.

Click "Clear" to start another search. Click "Clear All" to erase the list of sentences. Click
"Add," "Edit," or "Delete" to add, change, or delete sentences in the database.

Click "Search" with no English or Norwegian search word to list all sentences in the database.

Step 2: Choose a sentence by clicking it with the mouse. For long sentences, use the right
mouse button to view the entire sentence or click "More..." button. Click "Accept Sentences"
(or double click either list box) to insert the sentence into the text edit windows.

Step 3: Highlight any word you want to change. You must highlight the word in both languages,
for example "home" and "hjem". To change a word in the English text window,  type in a new
word, like "back" to replace "home." Highlight the new word and click on the "To Norwegian"
button. Both windows will now change to the new translation.

      If you don't have the word highlighted in both text edit windows, the word will be inserted
to the last cursor position. For quicker access (instead of highlighting the new word typed),
press the F1 key to highlight, the program will automatically translate. For Norwegian to
English, use the same method, but click "To English" or press F2 for the quick translation.

Step 4: Enter another search word to list and add additional sentences to the text edit
windows. Click "Close" to return to the Text Editor without inserting any text. Click "Paste
