Excellent!" -- Michael Callahan (aka Dr. File Finder), Shareware Magazine. * A Shareware Magazine Editor's Choice Award Winner (Sept/Oct '93) After you create Word for Windows documents, how do you find them? You know they're on your hard drive, or on the LAN file server... somewhere. If only you could remember the file name, or the directory - you might actually be able to get some work done. DocuPower Pro smashes the eight character DOS file name barrier! Give long, descriptive names to your documents - up to 50 characters long. DocuPower Pro is a total document management solution that makes it easy to quickly access your work. On stand-alone PC's as well as across networks, it can completely organize your documents. Best of all, it integrates seamlessly into WinWord. Check Out These Incredible Features ################################### * Go beyond the eight character DOS file name barrier. With DocuPower Pro you can give your documents real, meaningful descriptions - up to 45 characters long! * Assign enhanced DocuPower Pro descriptions while maintaining your original file names. You'll never misplace a file again. Use DocuPower Pro descriptions for fast access, or, if you prefer, look at the regular path and file name. * Get organized - it's fast and easy. Create an unlimited number of folders for your documents, and give each folder its own descriptive title. * Each folder holds an unlimited number of document descriptions. Add as many as you like, because they'll be displayed in alphabetical order. Simply touch the keyboard to jump immediately to any part of the list. * Lightning fast folder list display! See hundreds of files instantly. * Toggle folder list displays instantly between DocuPower Pro document descriptions and DOS file names. * One file can appear in multiple folders simultaneously. This enables you to organize the same material in different ways while avoiding version control problems. * Because it's tightly integrated into Winword, DocuPower Pro will automatically prompt you every time you save a new file. So you're never more than one keystroke or mouse click away from adding your new work directly to a folder. * Sophisticated folder management allows you to create, rename, or delete entire folders. Plus you can easily move documents from one folder to another. * Print single or multiple copies of a document directly from any folder - you don't need to open the file first. * Print all documents in a folder with just one command. * Fax documents directly from a folder. * Insert the contents of one document into another. Clicking the "Insert" button lets you perform automated document assembly. * Integrated File Find and Text Search utilities find the files you need fast. Select multiple entries from the list of files found. Open all selected files at once, or add all selected files directly to any DocuPower Pro folder. * Integrated file management functions enable you to make directories, copy, rename, delete or move files. The file management window is easy and intuitive to use - a dual list box with file names on the left, and your descriptions on the right. Do it all without ever leaving Winword or DocuPower Pro. * Print a detailed folder status report. List document descriptions and file names for all documents in any folder. * Free DocuPower Pro Tool Kit includes powerful WinWord macro utilities: Close All Open Files; Display Date On Menu; Exit Windows; Restart Windows; List All Files In Directory; Run Program (Command Line); Windows System Status. * Additional tool kits are available to meet specialized needs. The Writer's Tool Kit includes the following utilities: Font Minder, Text Jumper, BookMark Lister, Edit Templates, Open Most Recent Files, Print All Open Files, and Winword INI Changer. Danger! Beware of Conventional Document Management Systems ################################################## All document management systems are not alike. DocuPower Pro is unique, because we do it all, and do it safely. To appreciate our revolutionary design, it's important to understand the dangers of conventional document management systems. Those programs also allow you to assign descriptive names to your files. However, to keep track of what description goes with which file, they take control of your computer. First, they create their own DOS directories for your documents (for example C:\MEZ001A2). Next, they rename each file at the DOS level with their own proprietary file names, like L000310.DOC. Finally, the new directory structure and proprietary file names are indexed and tracked by their database engine. And that's the problem with conventional systems - they take too much control away from you. As long as your descriptive names are viewed from inside their program, everything is fine. But if you want to find a file on your own, you're out of luck. Just try figuring out what C:\MEZ001A2\L000310.DOC means! This can be a real problem. If you need to copy directories or files to a diskette, you'll be stuck. The names that the document management program assigns are totally meaningless to you. So using any file management program becomes impractical. Backing up your data also becomes either difficult or impossible. How can you back up your documents when you don't know where they are or what they're named? We believe that the benefits offered by these programs are outweighed by the problems that they create. It’s just never worth it to give up complete control of your system. DocuPower Pro's Revolutionary Design #################################### Unlike ordinary document management systems, DocuPower Pro enhances rather than replaces your existing directory structure and file names. You'll always have it both ways. Assign long, descriptive names to your documents. Retain your original directory structure and file names. DocuPower Pro puts you in complete control. DocuPower Pro gives you the power you need to be in charge of your documents. Try it yourself and see what it's like to always have your files at your fingertips. PC’s, Networks, and Workgroups ############################## DocuPower Pro is designed for use on stand-alone PC’s as well as networks. When installed to a network, it can be set up in either individual or workgroup configurations. Three basic configurations are available: 1. Stand-alone - for regular PC's which are not connected to a network. 2. Network - for PC's which are part of a network. DocuPower Pro folders can contain documents from your local drive, as well as files from network drives. Access to network drives is transparent to the user. Each user maintains separate folder configurations. 3. Workgroup - for PC's which are part of a network. As above, users can access documents from local and network drives. The workgroup version, however, also allows users in the same group to access the same set of DocuPower Pro folders. By sharing folders and documents, all members of the group can benefit from consistent document organization. The free trial version comes pre-configured for stand-alone and network PC’s. Workgroup licenses for any number of users can be purchased by calling us at 800-814-2300 or 718-375-2997. Upon payment, you’ll be shipped an installation kit configured for the number of users in your workgroup. Please note - volume discount prices are available for site licenses. Satisfaction Guaranteed ####################### Rumor has it that Microsoft might be releasing their next version of Word for Windows in the first or second quarter of 1994. We guarantee that DocuPower Pro will be compatible with future releases of WinWord. And you can be sure that maintenance upgrades to DocuPower Pro will always be available to registered users for free.
