1. What is Help Edit
---------------------

  Adr_Book is a database program that prints mailing labels, an address
  booklet, envelopes, and several reports.
  
  The mailing labels can be printed by zip code order and with all capital
  letters for the name and address. Perfect for saving money on bulk mail
  rates.
  
  The envelopes can be printed in three popular sizes. The postnet code
  can be printed. Different fonts and point sizes can be specified for the
  return address and addressee.

  The address booklet is 4 1/4  x  5 1/2 inches. A perfect size for your 
  own personal address book, but also great for organizations, clubs, and
  churches.
  

2. What is new since 1.2
------------------------

  a. A copy command places the currently active name and address into the
     clipboard for including into your word processor and other window aps.

  b. Envelopes can now be printed in portrait mode.

  c. The 'notes' free text can now be displayed on the graphical address
     book. This is accomplished as follows: Select the Notes check box under
     the Options/Display menu. If there is any note text for a given Name
     the word 'Notes..' will appear in inverse video in the turquoise area
     of the address book. Clicking on this area will cause a text box to pop
     up displaying the associated notes data.  I suggest you test this - it
     is a very nice feature.

  d. The individual fields of a record can be selected for printing in the
     Pocket Address Book. For example, you can now print name and 
     telephone numbers only for each record.

  e. Performance improvements for loading database files.

3. INSTALLATION

  To perform the installation insert the floppy in drive A or B and run
  INSTALL.EXE from Windows.

5. Why Register?
----------------

  Registering brings with it a number of advantages.
  
  First of all you will not be limited to a database with a maximum of
  50 records. You won't get the nag dialog box when you start Adr_Book.
  
  You will feel better. (maybe)
