Page Pizazz Cube

THANK YOU for purchasing Aztech New Media's "Page Pizazz Cube". This Cube is a comprehensive collection of over 10,000 full-color "vector" clipart hand-drawn images comprising more than 50 different subject categories. It also includes more  than 5,000 fonts. This collection may be used on a PC under Windows 3.x or Windows 95+, or a Mac with System 7+.

TO BEGIN USING for PC

The image browser application is on every clipart CD. Each Catalog on each CD is specific to the images on that CD. Insert the desired CD (or any CD) into your CD-ROM drive and type GO.

TO BEGIN USING for Mac

The image browser application is on every clipart CD. Each catalog on each CD is specific to the images on that CD, Insert the desired CD (or any CD) into your CD-ROM drive. On the first use only, you need to double-click on the installer. After the first install above,insert the desired CD (or any CD) into your CD-ROM drive and double-click on the catalog name.

This Cube is ideally suited to graphic artists and designers, corporate communications and media departments, desktop publishers, educators, printers, pre-press firms, and multimedia producers. They can add impact to any presentation, brochure, advertisement,marketing literature, business card, product packaging, POP displays, editorials, manuals,etc. with the unsurpassed quality content of this collection.

OVERVIEW

The Page Pizazz Cube contains four CD-ROM's which together comprise more than 10,000 high quality clipart images in .WMF (Windows Metafile) "vector" format (that is,not bitmapped) for the PC and the same images in .EPSF (Encapsulated Postscript File) for the Mac. The CD itself is a "hybrid" meaning it is divided into two parts: a universal ISO 9660 standard "partition" for the PC and a Mac- specific HFS (Hierarchal File System) partition which retains neat features characteristic of the Macintosh and not accomodated in the ISO 9660 standard. This hybrid structure permits any CD-ROM disc in this Cube to be read by either Macintosh or MS-DOS compatible machines. Also, all these images are also importable by almost all image-handling applications available in those same computing environments.

The Page Pizazz Cube also contains two CD-ROM's which together comprise over 5,000 fonts. You will find a "Font Loader" for the Macintosh and for the PC. The Font Loader has a self- contained, complete Help capability. You can preview any font on the CD and then install only those fonts you want. For Mac users you also have the choice of where you want the fonts to be installed. For Windows users, the font location and installation details are typically pre-determined by Windows.

Also included in the collection is an application for Mac's and PC's that permit you to convert a variety of different graphic file formats into other graphic file formats. In this way, regardless of what application you are running, you should be able to import a clipart image into your application, even if your particular application doesn't accept .WMF or.EPSF.

For the PC, the conversion application is the award-winning and highly-regarded "HiJaakPro", from Quarterdeck. It supports the conversion of over 70 different file formats.

For the Mac, the conversion application is the well-known shareware version of "GraphicConverter." This application will handle most of your basic conversion needs. The"registered" version, should you decide to use this application and upgrade, offers a range of very useful features and benefits, such as batch processing.

The 10,000 images are divided into over 50 topical categories, as follows:

Disk 1	Disk 2
anatomy	25	alphabet	379
arrows	120	animals	100
borders	925	architechture	50

Graphic File Conversion  *Conversion Artist Win 95 & Win3.1 by North Coast Software

This multiple awardwinning program converts over 35 different photographic and line art image formats. With Conversion Artist it is possible to exchange just about any type of graphic file format you create with any of the programs in this pack and import them into any othera pplication. You can view multiple images simultaneously, convert in groups, print, edit images,JPEG compress, unrivalled colorreduction, powerful color enhancement, read and play AVI files,employ a variety of image effects, screen capture and convert file formats between different computing platforms including SUN, Silicon Graphics, Macintosh, OS/2, Unix and Amiga.Converts BMP, GIF, TIFF, WPG, CUT, MCP, TGA, PCX, PCT, IMG, PCD, EPS and manymore.

TIP: This program is particularly useful when you want to make use of the extremely high resolution of a 32bit (CMYK) TIFF image file from one of the photo collections. Most PC applications do not support this high a level of resolution so you could import this file into Conversion Artist and then save it as a 24bit RGB TIFF file, which is supported by just about everything. The resulting file will have a great deal more "information" in it (perhaps 912 MBeach) then the usual 24bit RGB TIFF files (about 1.2 MB) in the collections.

However, you really only need this type of resolution if you are going to magnify a very small partof the image to full screen size or if you want to print to a printer that can handle this amount of detail.

	Zoom through the catalog to locate the image file's thumbnail.
	Reference the image file's location, size and format.
	Preview the fullsized image in a floating window.
	Place the image into another document.

TIP:You have a photograph or piece of artwork in mind that would fit perfectly in your new layout.  Using the Riffle Control, quickly zoom through the catalog until you see the one youwant.  Once you find an image that will work, you preview it with a simple menu selection.

Optical Character Recognition  Textbridge 3.0 by Xerox Corporation

TextBridge works with most scanners and fax modems to quickly convert typewritten,photocopied, faxed or pre-printed documents into a format your computer will understand.Scanning a typewritten document is not enough. The computer treats the scanned image as apicture, not a set of discreet characters. TextBridge translates the typewritten image intotypewritten discreet characters that can then be manipulated by most word processing, desktop publishing, presentation and document image management applications. Of course it is entirelycompatible with the Home@Office's Pressworks and Virtual Word. It may sound difficult but TextBridge is very easy to use and extremely accurate.

Aside from the millions of types of obvious documents that can be scanned and OCR'd like business letters and product information sheets, TextBridge can handle more exotic documents like historical documents, wills, magazine articles and resumes.

TextBridge recognizes mixed typefaces, multi-columns, old, degraded or somewhat dirty text and ignores graphics. The software reliably recognizes text from 6 point to 72 point. Text can be recognized from such sources as typewriters, typesetters, and facsimile machines as well asimpact, inkjet and laser printers. It allows you to isolate sections of a document as well as view,confirm and correct words while recognition is in progress. The software actually learns from your corrections virtually eliminating recurring erros.For more advanced functionality, you canuse the "application server" to seamlessly integrate TextBridge right into your word processor,e-mail or spreadsheet by putting it right onto your pull-down menu.

TextBridge will also convert recognized text to more than 25 word processing and desktop publishing file formats. (Note: If you have a requirement for a file format not supported byTextBridge, have TextBridge output to one of the popular formats and then use HiJaak Pro (inthe Page Pizazz Cube) or Conversion Artist (in the Publisher Cube) to make the conversion.

The TextBridge application is available in Home@Office in five languages:

English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

TextBridge, however, will recognize documents composed in 11 different languages:

English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portugese, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish and Danish. But remember that the application itself (that is, the menus, online help, textfiles, etc.) is only available in the former five languages cited.

Business Contracts  Agreement Builder by Jian Software

Agreement Builder is a compilation of 25 "boilerplate" contracts and agreements for everyday business use. They are designed to help you create and enter into contracts that are understandable by all who read and sign them. Jian Software has stipped out the "legalese",simplified the language, clarified the purpose, terms, dates, names, items, and all of the other important information.

It is important to realize and accept that these contracts are just a "shell" or boilerplate. You must still add in, modify, or delete aspects that don't work for your situation AND it is highly recommended that you seek the advice of professional counsel before signing the contract.Agreement Builder is designed to reduce the expense of having a lawyer draft a "standard" contract from nothing.

The contracts are word processing files, not an actual software application. Therefore, when you install Agreement Builder, there will not be an icon associated with the contracts. Simply open your word processor or desktop publishing application and look in the directory where the contracts were installed. The contracts are all stored, as a minimum, in the Microsoft Word forWindows file format (version 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0b and 2.0c). If your application won't recognize this file type then look for other file formats on the CD that are readable by your application.

Each contract has a template divided into two parts. The first part is a cover memo which covers the important facts: who the contract is with, the effective date and subject matter and the general terms. The second part is the contract itself which includes comments that explain the purpose ofcertain sections and assist you in customizing the template to meet your specific needs.

The 25 contracts are:
