ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS REGARDING JUSTWRITE.

Q.  Does JustWrite take advantage of Windows Dynamic Data Exchange?

A.  Yes, JustWrite supports the DDE standard by allowing you to
establish links between your word processing document and other
applications.  It's easy to create complex documents with graphics,
spreadsheets, and text.  And when you update the source data, the
changes are automatically reflected in your JustWrite document so
your letters and reports always contain the most current
information.  


Q.  You've talked about JustWrite's Automatic File Conversion using
    popular word processors.  Exactly what formats can JustWrite
    automatically read and write?

A.  Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Ami, Ami Pro, ASCII, DCA,
MultiMate, Professional Write PLUS, Q&A Write, Word for Windows,
WordStar and XYWrite.


Q.  How much does JustWrite cost?

A.  JustWrite has a suggested retail price of $199, so you could
buy it at most retail stores for around $149.  If you own any 
other Symantec product, it can be ordered for $79 from Symantec.

Q.  Explain how you share a JustWrite document over a network?

A.  JustWrite provides file locking to ensure that the first user
has editing rights to a document and subsequent users are allowed
read-only rights.  For example, let's say Shirley creates a
document, stores it on the network and begins to enter additional
information.  Lisa needs to add a table to this document.
JustWrite checks to see if the document is being used when Lisa
starts to open it.  Lisa is told Shirley is editing the document.
Lisa can either enter a request to Shirley for rights to edit, or
be given a read-only copy.

 
Q.  Is it possible to import graphics files and if so in what
    formats?

A.  You can Paste or Paste Link a graphic image with a DDE link via
the Clipboard when the information was created using Windows
graphics applications.  Or use Insert Graphics from the Edit menu
to insert an image created by non-Windows applications, such as a
DOS or Macintosh graphics document stored as a TIFF file (Tagged
Image File Format).   PCX, Microsoft Paint, TIFF, CGM, HPGL, Apple
PICT, and Lotus PIC are available by Disk Import.  Windows
Metafile, Device Independent Bitmaps, RTF, and Bitmap are available
by Clipboard Paste.

Q.  Is On-Line Help available in JustWrite?

A.  Yes.  Built-in context-sensitive Help on all aspects of the
product is included.  The Help menu commands let you look up topics
by examining and selecting them from an index, lookup document,
table, graphic and menu command keys and all commands and
procedures.


Q.  Is Mail Merge available in JustWrite?

A.  Yes.  And JustWrite does not limit you to creating and using a
merge list from JustWrite alone.  You can use database records from
an existing database or spreadsheet, such as dBASE III and IV, Q&A
3.0 or Lotus 1-2-3, if that file is saved in a tab delimited ASCII
format.


Q.  Explain what frames are and what are their uses?

A.  Frames are areas within a document where you can place data
objects.  You can place a frame virtually anywhere in a document
page and also define position, size and frame type.  The table
editor supports links to Excel, which allow you to create a
spreadsheet with live reports from JustWrite based on that data.
The graphics editor can import through the Clipboard and from disk,
update and refresh graphics automatically or manually and enable
the user to crop, pan, scale or size to fit.  The text editor
provides a document within a document that has its own formatting
and borders.

Q.  How do you create multiple columns?

A.  JustWrite lets you define a columned layout for each section in
a document, then forces text, table or graphic frames into a column
in a section.  You often see 2, 3, 5, and 6 columns in newspapers,
journals and tabloids.  With JustWrite up to 8 columns are
available and JustWrite fits text inside the column boundaries.  To
define the column layout, choose Insert from the Section menu,
select Column Layout from the Section Format dialogue box, select
the number of columns, enter the gutter width (or white space)
between each column, then close.
