Installation and New Features Guide (Windows)

New features in FileMaker Pro 2-3
Expanded Sort and Find options
Related records can now be sorted within a portal or as part of a related list.
With the addition of exact field matches, Find requests can be even
more specific.
New calculation functions
New functions help you determine:
1 the current group that a password belongs to
1 the modifier key being pressed by the user
1 the network protocol that is loaded and in use
1 the ID of the current record
1 the number and kinds of objects in a layout
Layout and interface enhancements
Fields and objects can be now rotated in 90-degree increments, allowing
greater flexibility in your layouts. Text can also be dragged and dropped
into a rotated text block. You can zoom in or out on a rotated object.
To make creating and managing your files easier, value lists can now be
defined from the File menu.
Excel import
FileMaker Pro now supports direct import of worksheets (.XLS files)
from Microsoft Excel, including version 4.0 and 5.0 for Mac OS, and
versions 4.0 through Excel 97 for Windows. Additionally, you can
import a specific worksheet from an Excel workbook.
IntelliMouse support for Windows 95 and Windows NT
If you have an IntelliMouse, then you can use it to scroll or zoom with
FileMaker Pro 4.0.
Note FileMaker Pro 4.0 supports IntelliMouse scrolling through layouts
or lists of records, not scrolling in fields or portals. Autoscroll, panning,
and DataZoom are also not supported.
