G                                 OVERVIEW


Y      Easy Presentation Graphics is a powerful tool that generates graphic
       represenations of numerical data. It works basically like this:

W      1. SELECT THE TYPE OF CHART YOU WANT TO GENERATE (Column, Stacked
          Column, Deviation, Bar, Line, Step, Pie, Donut, Pictograph,
          Percentage Bar, Area, or Text).

       2. SELECT THE DATA YOU WANT TO USE. (This can be generated by
          Easy Presentation Graphics, or loaded from existing data from other
          popular programs such as Lotus 123, dBase, and Word Perfect).

       3. CUSTOMIZE THE CHART. (A variety of options are provided in the
          specialized Option Menus.)

       4. PRINT THE CHART.

       NOTE: The Escape [Esc] key will take you out of any operation which
             you have completed or want to stop, and draw/redraw the screen.
             At the Main Menu, [Esc] has the same function as [F10] Quit.

       2. Press [RETURN] or [1] for Keyboard.

       3. If there is already data in the Spreadsheet, press [5] to Clear it.

       4. Move the cursor with the arrow keys to where you want to enter data.

       5. Press [1] to go to the Entry Mode, and type data in columns.

       6. Press [TAB] to switch to next column and repeat until finished.

       7. Press [Esc] to return to the Data Menu.

       8. Press [ENTER] to return to the Main Menu and draw the graph.

       9. To edit the data, go back to the Spreadsheet.

G                            SPREADSHEET IMPORT


W      Easy Presentation Graphics can use data produced from a variety of
       popular spreadsheet programs. Worksheet files from Lotus 123,
       Multiplan's SYLK files, and DIF files are all are supported.

       Users of Lotus 123 Release 1 should select WKS-File; for Release 2,
       WK1-File. The EPG Spreadsheet will accept Lotus files up to 64 K in
       file size (dependent on PC memory). If a worksheet is larger than
       50 x 50, the additional area will be clipped when loaded as a EPG
       file. The original worksheet file will remain unchanged.

       SYLK and DIF files that are 15 K or less can be loaded directly into
       the EPG Spreadsheet by using the SYLK-File or DIF-File choices on
       the Data Menu. Larger SYLK and DIF files should be loaded with the
       appropriate External Conversion Utility supplied on Diskette 1.

       NOTE: We recommend rounding your spreadsheet cell data to six digits,
       (e.g. 4356.7) as variations between a similar range of large values
       cannot be distinguished in a chart, and will be truncated. To show the
       exact values, simply enter Thousands or Millions etc. on the Y-Axis.

W      When importing an ASCII file, Easy Presentation Graphics looks for a
       title and a footnote on the first line of your file, for column
       names on the second line, and for row names and corresponding
       numeric data on all subsequent lines.

       If you do not have a title in Line 1, you need to type in a comma
       and press [ENTER]. If you do not have column names in Line 2, you
       need to type in commas in place of column names and press [ENTER].
       The number of commas should be one less than the number of columns
       (data numbers) in your longest row. The maximum no. of columns is 50.

       EXAMPLE: │,                                          (NO TITLE)
                │,,,                                        (NO COLUMN NAMES)
                │Los Angeles,234,432,534                    (THREE COLUMNS)
                │New York,354,345,620,576                   (FOUR COLUMNS)

       NOTE: The maximum number of digits in a numeric data entry is six. If
             an entry has seven digits, all entries will be divided by ten.
             If eight digits, all will be divided by one hundred, etc.

G                          IMPORTED SPREADSHEET FORMAT


W      When entering data into spreadsheets such as Lotus 123, users
       typically include text within the spreadsheet. When imported into
       EPG, labels in the first row of the source spreadsheet will be
       read as column labels. Other rows consisting solely of labels, and
       completely blank rows, will be ignored. Cells other than in the
       first row which contain labels will be replaced with blanks. If left
       in the EPG Spreadsheet, these blanks will create blank spaces in
       charts drawn from the imported data.

       By using the Row and Column Select options at the EPG Spreadsheet,
       you can choose which rows and columns you wish to display in your
       chart. This option is especially valuable when importing spreadsheets
       with large volumes of data which cannot be represented meaningfully
       in a single chart. If you have placed numeric labels, such as years
       (1986,1987, etc.), within your source spreadsheet, you will also
       need to use this option to avoid distorting your chart's values.

G                            LASER PRINTER RESOLUTION


W       Easy Presentation Graphics can output to laser printers at resolutions
        up to 300 dots per inch (300 dpi).  The higher the dpi value is, the
        better the resolution of the print. The size of the image which can be
        printed at 300 dpi resolution, however, depends on the laser printer's
        memory (RAM).  The HP Laserjet, for example, only has enough memory to
        print a quarter page image at 150 dpi; larger images can only be
        printed at 100 or 75 dpi.  The following table illustrates the dpi
        resolutions attainable on the standard LaserJet+ (with 512K of RAM).

G                          POSITIONING CHARTS AND TEXT


W       With Easy Presentation Graphics, you can incorporate charts into
        letters and other documents without needing to cut-and-paste,
        or use complex page composition software.  We recommend that, before
        attempting to mix charts and text, you print out a copy of a typical
        letter and a draft copy of your chart with appropriate size and
        position selections.  BOTH should be printed on the same printer that
        you intend to use for the final copy.

        Then compare the two pages to see which area is occupied by the
        chart.  If you load your letter into your word processor at the same
        time, you can see the line and character positions which you will
        need to reserve for your chart.  Make sure that you record these
        positions, to avoid having to repeat this process.

        Then reformat your document to allow space for your chart.  Print
        the document, load Easy Presentation Graphics, and print your chart
        with the appropriate print specifications onto the same page.  You may
        print the chart first, and the text second.  If so, turn EPG's
        Page Eject off to avoid re-feeding the paper into the printer.

G                            PRINTING PICTOGRAPHS


W       Each picture symbol in a pictograph represents a value that is
        constant throughout that chart (e.g. Psymbol = 7).  Thus a portion
        of a symbol will equal a fraction of 7, and a stack of symbols will
        equal a multiple of seven.  This structure makes Easy Presentation
        Graphics have to deal with some complex calculations when printing
        with some of EPG's size, orientation, and positioning options.

        To ensure that your pictograph is always printed with optimum
        proportions, Easy Presentation Graphics will sometimes assign a new
        value to the picture symbol in your chart.  What this means in
        practice is that where formerly, for example, your picture symbol
        was assigned a value of seven, and one of the stacks of symbols
        consisted of 3 symbols (= 21 total), the new value assignment might
        be five, and that stack might contain four and a fifth symbols (= 21
        total).  As you can see, your original data value of 21 has not
        changed.

        NOTE:  This change of picture symbol value will take place on the
        printed page, not on the screen.
