This product allows the user to merge both text and graphics into a single document which can be displayed on the monitor, printed, or transferred to another Professional system. PROSE PLUS supports immediate display of the effects of all text editing functions such as bold, underline, and right margin justification, as well as the ability to display the combined text and graphics document prior to printing. While editing the text portion of the file, a box is displayed that corresponds in size to a given graphic to show the user how much space the graphic will take up in the final document. After the file has been finished, the user can first view it on the monitor, and a print command then produces a hard copy of what was displayed on the screen. In picture mode, the PROSE PLUS user can create drawings. The graphic editor supports four basic object types; lines, circles/arcs, rectangles and text. Collections of objects may be selected and moved, removed, replicated, scaled or saved for future use. In addition to the graphic editor, picture mode supports the insertion of GIDIS format graphic files which were not created/edited with PROSE PLUS. Document formatting features include page size definition, margin setting, page headers, and automatic pagination. No SPELL checker is supplied with this product.
