About Online Help


Versabook: An Introduction

Versabooks provide you with powerful search functions and multimedia features.  You can work with Versabooks the same way you would with printed books.  You can take notes on each article and put relevant articles in Binders.  Books can be put on shelves and organized according to categories such as author and subject.

Taking Notes and Highlighting

Using the Annotation feature you can take notes on the articles in your books.  Annotations can also be grouped into Booklets that can then be saved to a network drive or local drive.  The Highlighting feature enables you to mark article text you want to emphasize.

Binders

When you find articles relevant to your research, you can save them to a Binder so you can access them later.  You can create a new Binder for each subject and the contents of each Binder can be printed and exported to HTML, Microsoft Word, and Palm Pilot.  You can also import HTML documents to a Versabook and conduct searches on the information.

Searches

Versabooks have the following types of Searches that enable you to find information quickly and efficiently:

•	Full Text

•	Natural Language Query

•	Keyword

•	Title

•	Topic

•	Date

Hypersearch

With the Hypersearch feature, you can search for articles that contain a certain word.  You can conduct the search while the original article is displayed in the View pane.  You can even go to a new article and then return to the original one. The Hypersearch feature is especially useful when you want additional information.  For example, if you have included a dictionary in your Hypersearch, you can use it to get definitions for words you don’t understand in your article.

Advanced Search

The Advanced Search functions enable you to narrow your search criteria to make sure the results are accurate.  For example, when searching for a group of words, you can choose to search for the words in the order in which they were written.

Media

To enhance your research experience, Versabooks contain media items such as:

•	Photos

•	Flags

•	Maps

•	Animations

•	Sounds

•	Speeches

•	Musical Excerpts

•	Videos

You can conduct searches for Media items and they can also be sorted by type.

Library

Using the Library, you can organize your books on shelves according to author, project or any subject relevant to your research.  When updates to the books are available, they can be downloaded so you always have access to the latest information.

Getting Started

After clicking on the Versabook icon on your Desktop, the Main Menu is displayed.  From the View menu, choose the Research Center.

Reading Your Books

Once the books are on the Research Desk, you are ready to begin.  Click a book and the list of articles appears in the Control pane on the left.  Click an article in the list and the text appears on the View pane on the right.  Articles can be printed and you can copy text and graphics from Versabook to another application.

Taking Notes

Using the Annotation feature, add notes to an article.  You can group your annotations together in Annotation Booklets that can be sent to a network or local drive and then to an e-mail address.  Using the Highlight feature, mark text for greater emphasis as you read an article.

Searching Your Books

Click Search to conduct a simple search by title, topic or keyword or choose from a wide selection of advanced search options.  The search results are listed on the left Control pane.  Click the search result to display the text of the article in the View pane.

Enhancing Your Books with Media

Click Media to view a wide variety of media items associated with a book.  Media items are divided into categories.  You can view the items belonging to a certain group by choosing the Media type in the Control pane.

Organizing Your Research in Binders

After you researched a subject, you can store any item – article, media or even URL in a Binder for further reference.  Click Binder to create a new Binder and save the article and/or media in the new Binder.  You can export Binders to HTML, Microsoft Word, and Palm Pilot.  You can also display an HTML file or Web page and save it in your Binder.  After you have organized your Binder, you can print it and include a cover page and table of contents.

Using Your Library

You can create your own personalized library and integrate each book into the Research Center.  To help you keep track of the books in your library, sort them according to categories, such as author, title or subject, and store them on bookshelves.  You can purchase new books from the VersabookStore and other Internet Bookstores and download them into your library.  After you have purchased and downloaded books, they are immediately placed on the New Books list in your library.  You can either shelve them or add them to your Research Desk.

Purchasing New Books Without the Versabook Application

Sometimes you might access the Internet from a Web browser and not from Versabook program and then purchase a book.  The download process is different.

After purchasing the book in this way, there are 3 phases you must go through to use the book.

•	Downloading the VersaBook-Let or receiving the VersaBook-Let Number

•	Importing the VersaBook-Let to the Versabook application

•	Downloading the books

Downloading VersaBook-Let or Receiving the VersaBook-Let Number

After you purchase a book from any Internet bookstore, you click a link on the Web site to begin downloading the VersaBook-Let. This information is similar to a receipt in that it is proof that you bought the book and have the right to download it. You cannot download a book without importing the VersaBook-Let.  In some cases, you may receive a VersaBook-Let Number instead of a VersaBook-Let file (*.VEP file).

Importing the VersaBook-Let and Downloading Books

Once you have saved the VersaBook-Let on your computer, you must import it to the Versabook application.  After it is imported, you can download the books.

You can import the VersaBook-Let using the File menu or the Windows Explorer.

To import the VersaBook-Let File using the File menu:

1	From the File menu, choose Import VersaBook-Let.  The Import VersaBook-Let dialog box appears.

2	Mark the Path and File Name option.

3	Select the *.VEP file containing the VersaBook-Let and click OK.  Another dialog box appears displaying a list of books you bought.

4	Click OK.  The Download Books dialog box appears.

5	Select the book and click OK.

To import the VersaBook-Let Number using the File menu:

1	From the File menu, choose Import VersaBook-Let.  The Import VersaBook-Let dialog box appears.

2	Mark the VersaBook-Let Number option.

3	Enter your VersaBook-Let Number in the text box and click OK.  Another dialog box appears displaying a list of books you bought.

4	Click OK.  The Download Books dialog box appears.

5	Select the book and click OK.

To import the VersaBook-Let using the Windows Explorer:

1	Drag and drop the *.VEP file into the Versabook application.  A list of your purchased books is displayed.  A prompt asks you if you want to import the VersaBook-Let for these books.

2	Click OK.  The Download Books dialog box appears.

3	Select the book and click OK.

Note:

If you access the Internet Bookstore from the Versabook application, you do not need to import the VersaBook-Let.  After the information is downloaded, it is automatically installed by the application.

What's New in This Release

The following is a list of new features available in this release:

Support for Iomega: Versabook now supports the use of Iomega disks.  When you download books, you have the option of saving books to an Iomega drive.

Library: The Library has an all new look.  It is easier to use and easier to understand and makes organizing your books more straightforward and efficient.

Newly Redesigned Interface: We have refined the Research Center to provide you with even easier to use dialog boxes, menus, and toolbars.

Importing Items to a Binder

Versabook enables you to import external Web pages to a Binder.  You can do this in two ways:

Linking a File to a Binder

When you link a file it does not become part of the Binder, it is only connected to it.  This means that each time you display the document, it is loaded from its original location.  As a result, when the information in the document changes, you get the updated version of the file each time it is displayed in the Binder.   A linked document can be printed, but the information cannot be searched.

Importing a File to a Binder

When you import a file, the document is saved and it becomes part of the Binder.  As a result, you can conduct searches on the information and print it.  However, if the original document or Web site changes, the information in the Binder is not updated.

1	From the File menu, choose Open Web Page.  The Open Web Page dialog box appears.

3	Click the Open button.  The document appears in the View pane.

Some of the search options can be changed in the Advanced Search options in the Search View.  Others can be changed in the Search tab in the Options dialog box.  To make your search results more accurate, use the Advanced Search Features.  You can also determine the way the results will be sorted.  If there are particular search options that you often use, you can set them as the default.
