Features of Galaxy Pro-Lite.
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.
