EZ-Forms Plus "Long Description"


** EZ-Forms Plus<tm> Release 96i (v2.22) "EForms for Windows"

** Create, Fill-Out (internal), Fill-In (pre-printed), Modify,
   Navigate, Save, Revise, ANY FORM in minutes!
  
** WYSIWYG, multiple open forms, cut/paste, protected
   fields/objects, much, much, more.

* Whether your business is small or large, you can easily
  and quickly Create and fill any document,
  Fill-in (internally generated forms),
  Fill-out (pre-printed forms) and/or Print (even to FAX)
  all kinds of forms in minutes.

* You can save time and money by importing any Windows bitmap
  (.BMP, .PCX) graphic image (including scanned existing forms,
  logos & signatures). Or, import any device independent bitmap
  via Windows' clipboard. Then simply insert fill-out fields,
  etc., if you wish, and your form is done!
  What could be easier?

* Create custom forms (lines, boxes, etc.) on screen 
  and add fill-out fields, clip art, graphic images, signatures,
  scanned photographs, and even video movies (eg. .AVI) or sound
  clips (eg. .WAV) via Window's OLE feature!

* You can even fill-out pre-printed forms! You can have internally
  created forms or scanned images visible on screen, but be declared
  non-printable. Thus only your data entries are printed where you
  want them!

* EZ-Forms Plus<tm> for Windows is here!!!

* EZ-Forms Plus is GREAT FOR:
 * Perfect form fill-out.
 * Commercial Printers ... speeds form design, modification.
 * In house publication departments ... Improve response time,
   ease update process, cut costs.
 * Low cost forms development ... Develop and print all of your
   forms without outside help.
 * Printing any quantity of custom forms on your laser printer
   ... on demand!
 * Great for basic desktop publishing too!

* EZ-Forms Plus' focus is on forms design, production and fill-out.
  Unlike page document composition, the logical object oriented
  drawing and scanning tools are specifically tailored and optimized
  for forms design and manipulation. Its WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what
  -you-get) interactive screen is clear, intuitive and easy to use.
  Font size,  typeface and printer options (including FAX transmission)
  are limited only by what is available under Microsoft Windows for your
  system.  For truly flexible forms production, you can even print the
  filled-in data and the form at the same time or, fill-out to
  pre-printed forms.

* CREATE TYPESET QUALITY FORMS IN HOUSE:
  You can design and modify your forms instantly. Creating a 
  new form in house gives you complete control over the process.
  Feedback on how it looks is immediate. You can design forms
  for cut sheet and continuous forms applications. Print your
  new design on your laser printer, or for even higher resolution,
  send Postscript output to a phototypesetter. By retaining
  control of the forms design, you can lower the costs and
  turnaround time without sacrificing quality. By printing your 
  own on demand forms on your laser printer, you can economize
  by reducing stock of pre-printed forms. Another benefit is
  the reduction of obsolescence of forms.

* You can easily customize any of the 90+ included form templates 
   to create any new form you desire.

*  DESIGN FORMS QUICKLY and EASILY:
   * Using the display screen and mouse, you can perform fully
     interactive forms composition by creating and manipulating
     various "objects". 
   * WYSIWYG means that the screen looks like the final printed
     from, showing typefaces, font sizes, lines, rectangles, 
     rounded rectangles, ellipses, circles, shading, logos, etc.
     Size any object for creative impact.
   * Text can be automatically word-wrapped, justified (left, 
     center, right, full), fonted, colored, etc. in any text
     or fill-out field. 
   * Fill out fields have a robust list of features to make
     fill in almost idiot proof! (See below for details.)
   * INCORPORATE GRAPHICS AND PATTERNS: Logos, signatures and
     scanned images can be added to your form. Tools are
     provided to scale, copy, delete and move images
     and objects like text, lines, fill-out fields, etc.

Other Form Design and Fill-out Features include:
* Extensive on-line help and MANUAL with BROWSE, TEXT SEARCH, PRINT.
  FPL's powerful Browse and global Text search features (not available
  in "regular" Windows help files) will allow you to find any topic,
  word, or phrase quickly. You will also be able to print any topic
  or group of topics on demand. The unique "tree" structure gets you
  to your information fast. NEVER be without your manual again!

  snap-to-grid allow very quick and precise positioning of
  all objects and fields.
