The Examples & Blank Documents Menu is arranged to help you
navigate through the Document Categories and select a
Document. The document can be displayed, printed, or
written to a file. This help file contains descriptions
on:
o NAVIGATOR STRIP - The navigator strip at the bottom of the
screen describes what key strokes are active with that
screen.
o DOCUMENT SELECTION - Select from the hierarchical
categories down to a set of documents. Selection of a
document (menu text in upper/lower case) will display a
document. Going back to a category (text in upper case
only) will move back to that level in the categories.
o WRITE DOCUMENT TO FILE - To write a document to a file type
F. Select the format or Cancel. The document will be
written to \LAWDOC\TEMP.OUT.
o PRINT DOCUMENT - To print the document type P. The program
will ask the user if the printer is ready on PRN:.
The following sections give a more detailed description for each
of these topics.
NAVIGATOR STRIP:
The navigator strip at the bottom of the screen describes the
keystrokes that can be used with the active screen. The navigator
strip changes each time the display screen changes. The different
fields in the navigator strip are:
o Scroll Up/down - the up arrow and down arrow keys are used to
scroll up and down the active screen.
o Select Top/Bottom - the home key goes to the top of the
document and the end key goes to the bottom of the document.
o Select document - the enter key will select the document that
is highlighted. The scroll up/down is used to highlight the
desired document.
o Main menu - the escape key is used to return to the main menu.
From the Main menu, the escape key exits the program.
o Print document - enter the letter p to print a document.
o File output - enter the letter f to write the file out.
DOCUMENT SELECTION:
The Documents are arranged in hierarchical Categories. There are
500 separate Documents in the system. The top-level Categories
are all labeled with a "1" to the left of the Category name,
as in the following example:
-----<< Examples & Blank Documents Menu >>--------
Press Enter for HELP
1 <- SAMPLE CATEGORY
1 <- FILL IN THE BLANKS CATEGORY
----------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________________________
|Scroll up/down|List top/bottom|Select document|Main menu|
| ^ v | Home End | Enter | Escape |
If one of these Categories is selected (by moving the red bar
onto it and pressing "RETURN" or clicking on it with the mouse),
the Category that was selected will remain displayed at the top
of the list, and the Subcategories under that Category will be
listed below it. The Subcategories will be indented, and will
all be marked with a "2" to the left of the Subcategory name.
See below:
-----<< Examples & Blank Documents Menu >>--------
Press Enter for HELP
1 <- SAMPLE CATEGORY
2 <- REAL ESTATE CATEGORY
2 <- PERSONAL AND FAMILY CATEGORY
2 <- CORPORATION CATEGORY
2 <- LENDING AND BORROWING CATEGORY
2 <- PARTNERSHIP CATEGORY
2 <- TORTS AND PERSONAL INJURY CATEGORY
2 <- SALES OF PERSONAL PROPERTY CATEGORY
2 <- SERVICE AND PROFESSIONAL AGREEMENT CATEGORY
----------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________________________
|Scroll up/down|List top/bottom|Select document|Main menu|
| ^ v | Home End | Enter | Escape |
If the original Category name (labeled with a "1") is then
selected, the user will be returned to the list of top-level
Categories.
If, instead, one of the Subcategories is selected, the Category
and the Subcategory will remain displayed at the top of the list,
and the Sub-subcategories under that Subcategory will be listed
below it. The Sub-subcategories will be indented an additional
amount and will be marked with a "3" to the left of the Sub-
subcategory name, as in the example below.
--------<< Examples & Blank Documents Menu >>-----------
Press Enter for HELP
1 <- SAMPLE CATEGORY
2 <- REAL ESTATE CATEGORY
3 <- REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE FORMS
3 <- PURCHASE AND SALE
3 <- LEASES
3 <- EASEMENTS
3 <- MORTGAGES & DEEDS OF TRUST
3 <- DEED FORMS
3 <- CONTRACTING AND REMODELING
----------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________________________
|Scroll up/down|List top/bottom|Select document|Main menu|
| ^ v | Home End | Enter | Escape |
At this point, picking the original Category name ("SAMPLE
CATEGORY" in this case) will return the user to the list of
top-level Categories.
Picking the Subcategory name ("REAL ESTATE CATEGORY") will return
the user to the list of Subcategories.
Picking one of the Sub-subcategories will produce a list with
the original Category, Subcategory, and Sub-subcategory still
displayed, and the Documents available in that Sub-subcategory
listed below, as in the following example:
-------<< Examples & Blank Documents Menu >>------
Press Enter for HELP
1 <- SAMPLE CATEGORY
2 <- REAL ESTATE CATEGORY
3 <- REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE FORMS
Exclusive brokerage listing- sale
Exclusive brokerage listing- exchange
Co-brokerage agreement
Nonexclusive brokerage agreement
----------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________________________
|Scroll up/down|List top/bottom|Select document|Main menu|
| ^ v | Home End | Enter | Escape |
Notice that menu items in UPPERCASE are Categories; the names of
Documents are displayed in Mixed Upper And Lower Case; also, the
Documents have no level number.
If one of the Documents (such as "Co-brokerage agreement") is
selected, the program will display the document. Pressing ESC at
this point will return the user to the Document list.
The keystroke commands available from any point in the program are
displayed on a bar at the bottom of the screen, which changes as
appropriate.
WRITE DOCUMENT TO A FILE:
There are times when a user needs to process a document
using other programs. The system can output a file to
\LAWDOC\TEMP.OUT. This file can be in ASCII, MicroSoft Word,
WordPerfect, or WordStar format. You must then copy this temporary
file to whatever location you desire, for permanent storage. Note
that if more than one file is output, then only the last file
outputted will be in \LAWDOC\TEMP.OUT. YOU MUST ALWAYS copy your
earlier \LAWDOC\TEMP.OUT before outputting a second file.
PRINT DOCUMENT:
To print a document enter the letter P. A print box is displayed
that asks if the printer is defined as PRN:. A Yes/No option is
given to print the document.
