The Marketing module includes an editor, or word processor, that provides a means to modify the existing follow-up and marketing letters to meet the needs of the shop, and it also gives the capability of creating new letters as desired. The functionality of this simple, third party word processor is similar to that of Microsoft Word. Anyone that has used MS Word before should be very comfortable using this product. For those that have not used a word processor before, or feel that they may need guidance, this section will provide some instructions on how to use the word processor.
Parts of the Window
Title Bar
The name of the module appears across the top left. Beneath the module name is the menu and beneath the menu is the toolbar. When the word processor is started, a blank document is opened, which is called Untitled.
Ruler
Across the top of the document is a numbered scale called the ruler. The ruler facilitates formatting.
Status Bar
At the very bottom of the screen is an area that is referred to as the status bar. The status bar has seven spaces in which information about the current document is displayed.
- The first three spaces display information pertaining to the insertion point location in the document. A small blinking vertical line depicts the insertion point. The information displayed is the page number, the current line number, and the current column, or character number.
- The fourth space displays the percent at which the document is viewed is displayed next.
- The last three items display the status of the Insert key, the CAPS LOCK key, and the NUM Lock key respectively. If a key is active, an abbreviation will appear in its space in the status bar. In the example, the Insert key and the NUM Lock key are active, but not the CAPS LOCK key.
