CLEARLOOK - THE CELLULAR WORD PROCESSOR - PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
PERFORMANCE
32-bit Architecture: Created exclusively for 32-bit OS/2 from scratch
to finish, free of any compromise to achieve the best performance.
Multi-threading: Extensive use of OS/2's excellent multi-threading
capabilities provides a smooth and ever-responsive user interface for
pleasant user interaction.
State of the art software design: Carefully crafted code to achieve
optimal use of system resources. The result: Less than 3 MB of Hard Disk
Space is required, extra fast invocation, high speed execution.
Put OS/2 to work: Using OS/2's extensive application interface provides
flexibility and easily integrates with standard components. Use any font
installed in the operating system; import color bitmap graphics and make
them an integral part of the text, and always displayed as part of your
document. Also, use any one of the hundreds of printer drivers OS/2
offers!
Multi-threaded, buffered screen update: As you type and edit your
document, as you scroll or page through your document, the screen
immediately reflects your commands and displays documents in a fast and
smooth manner.
PRODUCTIVITY
Cellular documents: Structure your documents with independent units
(cells) you can move and size like OS/2's windows! Place your textcells
in layers and have the lower layer's text automatically flow around the
higher layers! Feel the ease of object-structured documents with footers,
headers, insets, columns: All sizeable and moveable at a click of your
pointing device!
Always WYSIWYG! Size and scale your documents to any size from 20% to
300% in single and multiple page views. Edit and structure your documents
in any scale! The extra-high performance in fully scalable WYSIWYG
eliminates the need for separate draft and view modes: ONE mode, ONE
user interface, ONE way to do it and ALWAYS view your text and color
pictures as they are!
Mouse and keyboard user interface: Easily and intuitively select, move
and size the text, layout and any other element of your document by
pointing and dragging text objects and pressing speedbar buttons. And
whatever you do with your pointing device, you can do it as efficiently
and fast with the keyboard.
Spell check: Turn on online spell check and have each word verified and
corrected as you type! Due to multi-threaded implementation, you will
never see the slightest interruption in the flow of characters.
Thesaurus: Press a hot key over any word in your document and get an
instant list of meanings, and for each meaning a list of synonyms. A
list of compared, related and contrasted words, and antonyms are
included. Clearlook's thesaurus will inevitably propel your fine writing
to unprecedented excellence.
Search and Replace with multi-threaded power: As you look at the first
occurrence of the token, Clearlook finds all occurrences in your
document, remembers their positions and lets you move back and forth
without delay.
