  ╔'LL TRY TO PUT AN END TO ╟EOPAINT AS GRACEFULLY AS POSSIBLE.  ╫E WILL START
WITH MOVING OR COPYING AN IMAGE TO ANOTHER DISK.  ╙ELECT THE EDIT BOX TOOL,
SELECT EDIT FROM THE COMMAND MENU.  ╙ELECT EITHER CUT OR COPY, THEN SELECT QUIT
FROM THE FILE MENU.  ┘OU SHOULD BE AT THE DESKTOP AT THIS POINT.  ├OPY THE
PHOTO SCRAP TO THE DISK CONTAINING THE DESTINATION DOCUMENT.  ╔F YOU COPIED
╟EOPAINT TEXT INTO A TEXT SCRAP, COPY THE SCRAP TO THE DESTINATION DISK.  ╧PEN
THE DESTINATION DISK AND THEN THE DESTINATION DOCUMENT.  ╔F THE DOCUMENT IS A
╟EOPAINT DOCUMENT, USE THE EDIT BOX TO OPEN AN EDITING REGION.  ╔F IT IS A
NON-╟EOPAINT DOCUMENT, SELECT AN INSERTION POINT.  ╞INALLY SELECT PASTE FROM
THE EDIT MENU AND THE IMAGE WILL BE COPIED IN PLACE.  ╬OTE:  PASTE (PICTURES)
FOR IMAGES AND PASTE TEXT FOR TEXT.  ╧NCE YOU PLACE AN IMAGE INTO A ╟EOWRITE
DOCUMENT, YOU CANNOT COPY OR MOVE IT BY USING THE EDIT COMMANDS.  ┘OU CAN,
HOWEVER, DELETE IT AND, IF THE SCRAP STILL CONTAINS THE IMAGE, PASTE IT IN
ANOTHER LOCATION.  ═AKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A BACK-UP COPY OF  YOUR IMAGE BEFORE
YOU DELETE IT.
  ╙O MUCH FOR THE TECHNICAL STUFF.  ╠ET'S DO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE
INTERESTING.  ╙PECIAL FEATURES.  ├URSOR KEYS.  ┼VERYONE SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEA
OF  HOW THESE WORK BY NOW.  ╨RESS THE CURSOR KEY THAT POINTS IN THE DIRECTION
THAT YOU WANT GO OR PRESS THE SHIFTED CURSOR KEY TO GO IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION.  ╘HE RULER TOOL CAN BE USED WITH LINE, RECTANGLE AND ELLIPSE TOOLS.
┴REA CAN BE MEASURED IN PIXELS OR INCHES IN ╪ AND ┘ COORDINATES.  ╘HE PIXEL IS
THE ACTUAL DOT ON THE SCREEN WHILE INCHES ARE MEASURED IN PRINTED INCHES, NOT
SCREEN INCHES.  ╘HERE ARE 80 DOTS (PIXELS) TO THE PRINTED INCH.  ╔F  YOU HAVE
THE TIME AND THE PATIENCE YOU CAN EDIT AN IMAGE PIXEL BY PIXEL.  ╘HE PENCIL
TOOL IS BEST FOR DETAIL WORK ALTHOUGH THE MANUAL INDICATES THAT THE AIRBRUSH,
PAINT BRUSH, FAUCET, HOLLOW AND FILLED RECTANGLES AND ERASER TOOLS CAN BE USED
IN THE PIXEL MODE.  ╫HEN YOU NEED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER AREA OF  YOUR PAINT
DOCUMENT USE THE SCROLLING ARROWS TOOL IN THE TOOL BOX (TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE
TOOL BOX, FOUR WAY ARROW ICON).
  ╬EXT IN THE FUN AND GAMES DEPARTMENT IS BITMAP SCALING.  ┬ITMAP SCALING
ENABLES YOU TO STRETCH AN IMAGE OUT TO ALMOST ANY PROPORTION, SMOOTH OUT ITS
EDGES, SUPERIMPOSE THE IMAGE ONTO ANOTHER IMAGE, AND SUPERIMPOSE A PATTERN ONTO
THE IMAGE.  ╔N BRIEF, YOU NEED TO COPY THE IMAGE INTO A PHOTO SCRAP AND OPEN AN
EDITING REGION.  ╫HEN YOU SELECT PASTE FROM THE EDIT MENU, THE BITMAP SCALING
DIALOGUE BOX WILL APPEAR AND YOU CAN BEGIN TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE IMAGE'S
APPEARANCE.  ┬ITMAP SCALING MAY BE USED FOR ALL PHOTO SCRAPS, INCLUDING TEXT
THAT HAS BEEN PLACED INTO A PHOTO SCRAP. ╒SE THE EDIT BOX, CUT OR COPY FROM THE
EDIT MENU, DEFINE A REGION AND FINALLY USE PASTE FROM THE EDIT MENU.  ┴T THIS
POINT THE BITMAP SCALING DIALOGUE BOX WILL APPEAR.  ┘OUR OPTIONS WILL BE:
CENTERED IN REGION, SCALED TO FIT, STRETCHED AND SCALED TO FIT, PATTERN,
SMOOTHED AND TRANSPARENT.  ─UE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS ╔'LL DISPENSE WITH THE
DESCRIPTIONS AND OFFER THE OLD TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT ADVICE.  ┼XPERIMENT.
  ╔F YOU HAVE EVER HELD A HAND MIRROR UP TO AN IMAGE WHAT YOU SEE IS ABOUT WHAT
YOU WILL GET WITH THE MIRROR COMMAND.  ╘HE MIRRORED IMAGE CAN BE FLIPPED ON THE
╪ OR ┘ AXIS.  ╘HE INVERT COMMAND HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS "REVERSE VIDEO" ON AN
IMAGE.  ╘HE ROTATE COMMAND IS SELF EXPLANATORY.  ╠AST BUT NOT LEAST FROM THE
OPTIONS MENU IS THE GRID COMMAND.  ╨UT SIMPLY, IT DRAWS A GRID  ON THE SCREEN.
┴ WORD OF WARNING IS IN ORDER HERE, USE THE GRID FOR PLANNING A LOW DETAIL
IMAGE AND AVOID CANCELING THE GRID WHEN GRID FUNCTION IS INACTIVE.  ╫ELL,
