EZ-Forms PRO is a solution for your ENTIRE ENTERPRISE. Focus is on Virtual Paper Forms™ fill-out for everone at your location. EZ-Forms PRO's Designer and Filler "Engines" are separated so that the forms developer may control form creation completely. The LAN-ready Filler module is licensed (at one low price) for use at the entire site and of course, can fill or edit only those fields the designer allows. (Corporate and Developer Licenses also available.) In addition, EZ-Forms PRO Designer and Filler modules are "code-locked" to each other, so that no other licensee of EZ-Forms may access your forms unless they have your Filler. This provides for the ultimate in security for sensitive applications. The Corporate and Developer Editions are also Internet and Intranet enabled! EZ-Forms PRO "Objects" can be linked into any program that is "OLE" enabled, like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excell, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Word, etc. Unlike page document composition, EZ-Forms' logical object oriented drawing tools are specifically tailored and optimized for forms design and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use. Font size, typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission) are limited only by what is available under Microsoft Windows for your system. For truly flexible forms production, you can even print the filled-in data and the form at the same time or, fill-out to pre-printed forms. ** EZ-Forms PRO the "EZ-Forms eXecutive" for "Virtual Paper Forms" in for Windows is *the* Visual Forms Automation Processor! ** Create, Fill-Out (internal), Fill-In (pre-printed), Modify, Navigate, Compute, Validate, Save, Revise, ANY FORM in minutes! ** WYSIWYG, multiple open forms, cut/paste, protected fields/objects, much, much, more. ** SCAN your form directly into EZ-Forms PRO with your TWAIN compliant scanner. * Whether your business is small or large, you can easily and quickly Create/Scan and fill any document, Fill-in (internally generated forms), Fill-out (pre-printed forms), Compute (math and logical), Validate, Save, Save-as, Revise, and/or Print (even to FAX) all kinds of forms in minutes. * You can save time and money by importing any Windows bitmap (.BMP, .PCX) graphic image (including scanned existing forms, logos & signatures). You can now scan a form (or any other graphic) directly via your TWAIN compliant scanner, or import any device independent bitmap via Windows clipboard. Then simply insert fill-out fields, add calculations, validations, etc., if you wish, and your form is done! What could be easier? * Filling out forms is easier than ever with field ordering, pick lists, field help, field validation, calculations and more. * Create custom forms (lines, boxes, etc.) on screen and add fill-out fields, clip art, graphic images, signatures, scanned photographs, and even video movies (eg. .AVI) or sound clips (eg. .WAV) via Window's OLE feature! * You can even fill-out pre-printed forms! You can have internally created forms or scanned images visible on screen, but be declared non-printable. Thus only your data entries are printed where you want them! * EZ-Forms PRO for Windows is here!!! * EZ-Forms PRO is GREAT FOR: * Perfect form fill-out. * Commercial Printers ... speeds form design, modification. * In house publication departments ... Improve response time, ease update process, cut costs. * Low cost forms development ... Develop and print all of your forms without outside help. * Printing any quantity of custom forms on your laser printer ... on demand! * Great for basic desktop publishing too! * EZ-Forms PRO's focus is on forms design, production and fill-out. Unlike page document composition, the logical object oriented drawing and scanning tools are specifically tailored and optimized for forms design and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what -you-get) interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use. Font size, typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission) are limited only by what is available under Microsoft Windows for your system. For truly flexible forms production, you can even print the filled-in data and the form at the same time or, fill-out to pre-printed forms. * CREATE TYPESET QUALITY FORMS IN HOUSE: You can design and modify your forms instantly. Creating a new form in house gives you complete control over the process. Feedback on how it looks is immediate. You can design forms for cut sheet and continuous forms applications. Print your new design on your laser printer, or for even higher resolution, send Postscript output to a phototypesetter. By retaining control of the forms design, you can lower the costs and turnaround time without sacrificing quality. By printing your own on demand forms on your laser printer, you can economize by reducing stock of pre-printed forms. Another benefit is the reduction of obsolescence of forms. * SCAN EXISTING FORMS FOR IMMEDIATE PRODUCTIVITY: Coupled with your TWAIN compliant scanner, EZ-Forms PRO can easily process images directly from your scanner. Just think, you can have your first form ready-to-go in minutes! No form design experience required. * You can easily customize any of the 100+ included form templates to create any new form you desire. * DESIGN FORMS QUICKLY and EASILY: * Using the display screen and mouse, you can perform fully interactive forms composition by creating and manipulating various "objects". * WYSIWYG means that the screen looks like the final printed from, showing typefaces, font sizes, lines, rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, circles, shading, logos, etc. Size any object for creative impact. * Text can be automatically word-wrapped, justified (left, center, right, full), fonted, colored, etc. in any text or fill-out field. * Fill out fields have a robust list of features to make fill in almost idiot proof! (See below for details.) * INCORPORATE GRAPHICS AND PATTERNS: Logos, signatures and scanned images can be added to your form. Tools are provided to scale, copy, delete and move images and objects like text, lines, fill-out fields, etc. Other Form Design and Fill-out Features include: * Extensive on-line help and MANUAL with BROWSE, TEXT SEARCH, PRINT. FPR's powerful Browse and global Text search features (not available in "regular" Windows help files) will allow you to find any topic, word, or phrase quickly. You will also be able to print any topic or group of topics on demand. The unique "tree" structure gets you to your information fast. NEVER be without your manual again! * Robust Calculations - Over fifty field-oriented mathematical and logical functions are supported. * Field Type Selection: Character, Numeric, Date, Calculated or Logical * Automatic field options include: Number, Date, Time, Calculated, and Remember. Override enable/disable is available too. * Field naming by number (Default) or any character string you wish. * Numeric fields with selectable number of visible digits and leading/trailing zero suppression. * Field Pick Lists (Ctrl-L or icon initiated) allow annotated pre-determined data entry selections for real "no-brainer" fill-out/in. * Field Help (Ctrl-H or icon initiated) allows the forms designer to input custom form help for each field of the form. Kind of like having the expert looking over the filler's shoulder. * Field Validation (numeric, logical, or date) assures proper data entry structure. Override (with customizable error message) is allowable if there are errors. * Built-in support for MAPI (mail application programming interface) compatible Email (Electronic Mail). * On-screen grid (user adjustable; does not print) and snap-to-grid allow very quick and precise positioning of all objects and fields. * Fill-out master or modify completed forms. No need to retype redundant information. * Open multiple forms at once for quick reference or cut-and-paste. * Multiple form views can be full window, window cascade, tile view, or reduced to icons. * Six different working view magnifications (2 are user adjustable) 25% to 300% are available for even the most intricate work. * Precise continuous coordinate display for accurate positioning. * Tool bar and status line control allow you to customize appearance and operation of the program. * Copy, cut, and paste objects between multiple FPR forms. * Define page sizes, margins, layouts, orientation. * Draw lines, boxes, shapes, fill patterns of many types, change orientation and color. * 26 drawing tools are provided form design. There are five pen line styles, 10 thicknesses and eight brush patterns. * Other drawing tools include rectangle, round rectangle, and ellipse which can be melded with any of the brush patterns. * Fill-out fields can be placed anywhere on the form, and in fill-out mode, the master part (or background) of the form cannot be modified so as to assure perfectly filled out forms every time. * Print preview any form before committing to hard copy. * Print to any Windows supported device, even directly to your FAX/modem (third party drivers required) for immediate transmission of your form. * Use any Windows font including Bar Codes, and special characters like Wingdings. * Quickly bold, underline, italicize, strike-through, etc. any character or group of characters. * Objects, including graphics, pictures, sound clips, video clips, etc. can be inserted quickly and easily via Window's OLE (Object Linking and Embedding v1.0 & 2.0) feature from almost any other Windows program. * Edited .BMP files (via WinPaintbrush and many other programs) can be linked to any EZ-Forms PRO master form. * Images can be scanned directly into FPR forms from your TWAIN compliant scanner. * Images may be linked to a separate file or embedded in each form. * You can even paste text from your trusty ol' DOS programs via Window's clipboard. New Features in Release 97F include: * True 32 Bit Release for Windows 95 and NT. Win3.1x requires Win32s be installed first. * Shorter default field names.

Add a long column, nest several IIF() statements, more character spaces available for your calculations. * Overwrite of FRM master form when saving FOM/FOF fillout mode files is no longer allower. Prevents accidentally selecting Edit-Fillout and double-clicking the master form, causing you to loose hours of work. * When a linked BMP is not found, search in current work directory and EXE/Home directory before asking user for its location. This reduces the size of forms by linking image files that can be shared from several workstations. * "Docking" Toolbar (32Bit) allows you to move it anywhere on screen and align horizontally or vertically. Previously Added Features include: * Data Import and Export. (Quote Delimited, 1 file per fill-out.) * New Command line options - Data Import, Data Export, Print, Exit. * Increased voice technical support to one year.
