Apple Mac OS 7.6 - Manual (Page 25)

3D capability has been integrated into the Scrapbook and SimpleText
applications included in Mac OS 7.6. You can view and manipulate 3D images
by opening them in either application.
To get help manipulating 3D images in SimpleText, see the SimpleText Guide,
available in the Guide menu when SimpleText is active. The 3D viewing
controls you see in SimpleText and the Scrapbook also have Balloon Help. To
see descriptions of the controls, choose Show Balloons from the Guide menu
and point to the controls.
New version of PlainTalk
You use PlainTalk to have your computer read documents to you. Computers
with a 68030 or higher processor and a clock speed of 33 MHz or greater can
use text-to-speech, the technology that enables your computer to read
documents aloud. Check the technical information that came with your
computer to see if your model can use text-to-speech.
With PlainTalk 1.5, your computer can speak the contents of system alert
messages. (System alert messages are displayed when a system error occurs,
or when certain actions can’t be performed, such as when you try to copy a
file onto a locked disk.) You can have the computer speak the whole message,
or just an introductory phrase, such as “Blast!” or “Rats!” If your computer
can use text-to-speech, it can say the alert messages. You turn on this feature
in the Speech control panel.
To learn more about using text-to-speech, see the speech topics in Mac OS
Guide, available in the Guide menu when the Finder is active.
Acrobat Reader
You use the Acrobat ™ Reader, from Adobe ™ Systems, Inc., to read documents
without having the application or fonts that created the file. Some onscreen
manuals included with your software are in the Adobe Acrobat format.
You can find the Acrobat Reader software in the Utilities folder on the
Mac OS 7.6 CD-ROM disc.
