The Text Manager

text manager
Once you purchase a GEOS application, you will find the
Text Manager useful for storing blocks of text permanently.
As the Photo Manager manages graphic images, the Text
Manager handles text stored in special files called text albums on the disk.
Each text album may contain up to
127 pages of text collected from your
geopaint or geoWrite documents. Typically, text albums are organized by
the type of text they contain. For example, you may have one text album
that contains headers and footers for a business proposal; another album
may contain
poetry samples for an English term paper.
The Text Manager enables you
to select text from any of the text albums
and use them in other GEOS applications.
Text Scraps and Text Albums
There is a distinct relationship between the "text files." Whenever you cut
or copy text, it is placed into a text scrap file, which is a temporary storage
file. Text albums are a means of saving the text you placed in the text scrap
and turning it into a permanent file (i.e., a text album). The Text Manager
enables you to cut and paste scraps to and from a text album. The Text
Manager works much like the glossary feature found in other word process-
ing programs. When you need to place text from a text album into a
document, copy the text album contents into a text scrap.
The Text Album Screen
Once inside the text album, use the two items in the command menu, file
and edit (located at the top of the album screen), to work with your text. To
exit quickly to the previous application, click on the
close icon at the top
right of the screen album.
If the text is larger than the text album window, use the
scrolling arrows at
the bottom of the screen
to view another area of the text. To move to the
next page, click on the dog-eared corner at the lower left of the page; to
move
to the previous page, click on the page area just below the dog-eared
corner.
