QIP is first and foremost a wordprocessor.  If you are accustomed to
using wordprocessors and text editors, you will find all the commands
found in a good wordprocessor, such as marking and copying blocks,
search and replace, etc.  A few more pleasant surprises lie in wait for
you in the form of features such as effects. Effects gives you easy and
flexible control of both display colors and printout fonts.

QIP is also a table processor.  Create tables, graphs or lists, large
and small, anywhere in your document.  These tables, graphs, or lists
are managed along with your text to help you produce attractive reports,
or to create large databases.  More than that, QIP provides many
powerful table processing functions, ranging from the simple extract and
sort commands, to the enormously versatile update and calculation
commands.

When you first start to use QIP, you'll probably view it as a
wordprocessor, and experiment with its on-screen formatting, line
drawing, color-processing, on-line help system, and printer control
capabilities. As you start to work with tables, adding simple lists or
charts to your reports, you'll see how all your data can be smoothly
collated and updated.  Before very long, you'll be using the more
powerful table processing features to generate sales summaries,
prepare work schedules, create form letters, or update stock lists.
Ultimately, QIP may become your best tool for the most critical task
of all -- turning volumes of raw data into that essential element of
modern life -- useful information.
