Deko500 User’s Guide
H OW TO U SE T HIS M ANUAL
The Deko500 User’s Guide is a reference manual that describes the operation of
Deko500. The User’s Guide is derived largely from Deko500’s on-line Help
screens—you’ll find pretty much the same information in both places.
One difference between this manual and the on-line Help is how we define new
terms and keywords. In the on-line Help, new terms appear in green—you click
on a term with the mouse to see its definition. In the User’s Guide, there is no
green and no mouse. So, whenever a new term is defined, we show it in bold
italic type.
Please refer to the Glossary for a definition.
You need not read the User’s Guide cover to cover. Most chapters are arranged
as a series of step-by-step “To do” instructions, such as “To add an edge” or “To
rotate selected text.” A good approach is to read through the Table of Contents
to get an idea of Deko500’s capabilities, then refer to specific sections as
necessary.
We strongly suggest, however, that you read the chapter, An Overview of
Deko500. It provides an overall description of Deko500’s user interface and
operating philosophy.
Hardware issues, including installation and setup of Deko500, are covered
separately, in the Deko500 Installation Guide.
If you’re familiar with other Windows applications like Word or WordPerfect,
we think you’ll find using Deko500 easy and natural. If you know Windows, but
not Windows NT, you have nothing to worry about—their operation is almost
identical.
If you’re new to Windows, we suggest that you pick up a book on the subject to
familiarize yourself with the basic Windows concepts. For the most part, this
User’s Guide assumes a working knowledge of Windows.
