## Usage

EasyOffice has an integrated environment. All applications are launched in one place. Mainly everything is done by clicking with the left mouse button. There are so far three applications. Functions, that are not easily seen are described below:

## All applications

### Directories

You could open/close/rename/create/delete directories by clicking on a directory icon in the tree view at the left border. There you could also save the actual file, so far you clicked on the right directory. Text files must be saved in the "Textfiles" directory and so on...

### Files

After having opened a directory you could see the files that are stored in the directory. You could open/rename/delete a file by clicking on it with the left mouse button.

### Templates

Templates are created by saving a actual file in an applications template directory. A template of that document is then created, if you load it again from the template directory.

### Multiple users

For every user, that uses EasyOffice, you have to start the user.reg script and change the personal folder by pressing the "Preferences" button.

### Adding ActiveX

To add an ActiveX control press the "Preferences" button, choose the "OLE" tab, add a new object name to the list view, choose the objects CLSID and an icon that should represent it.

### Programming EasyOffice

You could program EasyOffice by creating an ActiveX control that starts inside EasyOffice (see adding ActiveX). The control could retrieve information from EasyOffice via the registry.
EasyOffice's registry is (CURRENT_USER\Software\Marcus Schiesser\EasyOffice). If you want to add some functions with this way and have problems contact the author (that's me) via email. Please make suggestions, which information should be placed inside the registry.
