Features of Galaxy Pro-Lite.
Galaxy Pro-Lite is our commercial version and may not be distributed by any
entity without expressed written consent. Galaxy Pro-Lite is not to be
considered "Shareware", or Evaluationware, and is only offered by authorized
dealers and distributors.
Galaxy Pro-Lite includes a brand new, professionally written manual. This new
manual is more extensive, and will not only give you more information but will
make contacting us easier, and give you the basics of word processing. It is
designed to lay flat and includes all the helpful information you may require.
Your new manual has a new registration system, the serial number is both on the
card you send in and will remain in the manual for easy reference. A new command
reference card is also included in the manual, it may be removed for placement
next to your computer.
Mail Merge, Galaxy Pro-Lite now supports mail merge with any comma delimited
data file, this data file can be created by Galaxy Pro-lite or almost any data
base programs currently used. The text file created very easily using the pipe
character |1 and the data field number, two pipe symbols ||2 reformats the
paragraph.
Galaxy Pro-Lite will now include a new more complete spelling checker, 100,000
words. The new checker uses a new compression method which allowed us to add
30,000 more words and the disk file is only 354k in size.
Galaxy Pro-Lite allows you to import the date and time in to your document. You
set the new options from the default menu. Time can be set to standard or
military or none, date can be set to US 01/31/99, January 31, 1999 or 31 /01/99
(European) or none. Then every time you press the CTRL key & QT keys the date
and time or both will be placed where the cursor is located. The date & time
options are saved to the GLITE.INI file.
Printing from memory just press the CTRL key & KP keys. This allows you to load
a document, then edit the document and print it without disturbing the original
file. You can even mark a block of text, just highlight the block of text you
wish to print, then press the CTRL key & KP keys. A sub menu will pop up with
print a block, number of copies and device. The device will also indicate the
current PRD file associated with that device.
Single and double spacing within the same document. Now by pressing the ALT key
& D key within your text, the printing is shifted into double spacing, by
pressing the ALT key & D key again, the printer is returned to single spacing.
Word Counter, by pressing the CTRL key & KN keys, or pulling down the block
menu, enables a scan of the document and the word count is displayed.
International characters can be added to your add-on dictionary. Just add the
word as you normally would with the spelling checker, or manually add the words
to the GALAUX.DIC file. The GALAUX.DIC file is an ASCII file and easily edited.
Automatic Backup this option located in the file menu, you can set Galaxy
Pro-Lite to automatically save your current document every five minutes. This
option will be saved in the Galaxy Pro-Lite INI file, as a default.
Semi-Auto-Reformat, formatting of text is now semi-automatic. By selecting the
'on' option from the default menu, everytime you press the CTRL key & B key a
screen will appear with the options of 'P' for reformatting the current
paragraph, 'D' for reformatting the entire document, or option 'S' for skip the
current paragraph. Just type the letter P,D,or S for program operation. If the
off position is selected, the reformatting will be as in older versions,
requiring you to press the CTRL-B at the top of each paragraph.
Features of Galaxy Pro-Lite
Colors are no longer set in the install program. Colors can now be set up in the
default menu, each option has its own color number list and displays the current
value. This will make color selection even easier. Remember to save the
defaults to keep the colors set for your next program use.
Printing is now easier, allowing you to have multiple printers attached, and to
simply switch from one to another, just change the device. Now when you install
the new Galaxy Pro-Lite, the installation program will ask you for how many
printers to install 1-3, then assign a PRD file for each device. If you have
more than one printer attached to your computer, for example you have an HP(tm)
laser printer connected to LPT-1, you would select PRD #16 for LPT-1, and you
have an Epson(tm) attached to LPT-2, select PRD #11 to device LPT-2. The PRD
information will be saved in Galaxy Pro-Lite's INI file.
Internal print attributes, Makeprd.com is no longer required! All print
attributes will be changed in the new print code menu, by either selecting print
codes from the print menu or by typing ^QP, which will bring up the new menu,
while you are editing. This will help you to remember which attribute is
assigned to which keys. Now select Load the current PRD and it's device will be
listed in the open PRD box, press enter or type in another PRD filename you wish
to edit. A sub menu will pop up with the keys listed, ALT-B through ALT-F8, and
the current value assigned to the key, Bold, Condensed, etc. using the arrow
keys, select the attribute you wish to change. You can also overwrite the
current attribute name. The next step is to enter the print codes for that
attribute. You will start in the on selection box enter the print codes from
your manual, use the arrow key to switch to the off selection box. The codes
are still entered as in the past, separated by a backslash. Galaxy Pro-Lite now
allows up to eight print attributes for any special printer codes, such as
proportional, condensed, elongated, and font changes, anything your printer is
capable of accomplishing. When finished press save. Galaxy Pro-Lite will write
the new PRD with the current name.
NOTE: The Wordstar(tm) conversion key ALT-F3 has been changed to ^QW.
(Marking Blocks) Galaxy Pro-Lite now highlights the first character when
selecting a block, making it easier to remember the beginning of the text block
you're moving.
(LPT3) Galaxy Pro-Lite now supports LPT 3 in the device window.
(Formfeeds) A new final formfeed is now available to you. This is required to
send form letters to some laser printers.
