=================================== inform-Z Professional Forms Design =================================== Very simply, inform-Z is the easiest-to-use, most powerful and fastest form programs available -- bar none! Here's a summary of inform-Z. * You can design and print "professional looking" forms in minutes -- on ANY printer. And inform-Z offers special support for HP LaserJets and Epson printers. * inform-Z includes many "lesson forms" to take you quickly from "the basics" all the way through advanced features that let you automate forms. * You can "automate" forms by adding special Auto-Edit fields, formulas, dates, sequence numbers, the date, the time, etc. then fill them out automatically. You can even: - Enter dates in 10 different formats, and in 5 different languages! - Link "help forms" to forms you (or someone else) fill out. * And you can print on "pre-printed" forms, printing just the fields you edit, "calculated fields," dates, time- stamps, sequence numbers, etc. * Design forms using pull-down menus, or easy-to-remember "hotkeys:" D = Draw, S = Shade, C = Copy, M = Move, etc. * Dialog boxes and full mouse support speed things up even more. * inform-Z offers THREE types of help -- two of which YOU can customize to provide the help YOU need while you're design- ing form, or when you (or someone else) fills them out. * Special features put inform-Z above the others: - Forms may have up to 200 columns and 125 lines. - You can draw "grids" of rows and columns all at once. - "Repeat" actions to save enormous amounts of time. - See things happen as you do them -- there are no surprises. - Use "Undo" if you decide that's not really what you wanted. - A "preview" mode lets you see BOLD, UNDERLINE, ITALIC text. - Add "check boxes" and arrows. - Add continuous shading (LaserJets) or full shading (all). * On LaserJets, print PCX graphics files to add logos, letter- heads, signatures, etc. to your forms. * With Mail Call, a separate program, you can add names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. to a database, then link forms to that database. Let Mail Call fill them out for you! * And, with if-DB you can link any form to industry-standard dBase III files! Create, read, update and add records to dBase files by just "drawing" a form. - And each form can be linked, if you like, to several different dBase files. This lets you, for example, look up a customer's name from one database file, look up product descriptions, prices and current inventories from another dBase file, then update another database file to keep track of cumulative sales, sales tax, etc. * Finally, HUNDREDS of forms are already available to you. - We offer over 140 forms in the OFFICE, SALES and HOME collections. Each "collection" offers many forms that are useful in any office, sales/retail or home setting. Get these from the same source from which you got inform-Z (directly from us, from a shareware distributor, a BBS, CompuServe, etc.) We also offer the ADVANCED and LASER collections. The Advanced collection includes forms already designed with auto-edit fields, formulas, and other form-automating features. The Laser collection offers forms specially designed to take advantage of the terrific features LaserJets provide. - And over 500 more forms are available from Studio Printing Corporation! These professionally-designed forms are available for just 15 - 25 CENTS EACH. They can save you hours of time; and their clever, professional touches will impress and inspire you. For information on these, contact Studio Printing's president, Bill Graf, at (414) 894-3811. Bill's forms can be used on any printer. And many of them take advantage of the special features of LaserJets.
