\pard \qc {\b \i Hello!}\par 
\pard \fi720 We're glad you're taking the time to check out this version of 
Marcel Word Processor.  No matter what kind of writing you do, we think 
you'll enjoy it more by using Marcel.  It's a word processor designed to 
allow you to express yourself through words, with a minimum of technical 
effort.\par 
So let's get started!  The first thing to do is open a new window 
for yourself, so you can type whatever you like\emdash and get the feel of 
Marcel Word Processor.  Using the mouse, go into the {\b File} menu and 
select {\b Open (new)}.  After you've typed a few things, come back to this 
window, so you can learn more about Marcel.  It's easy to flip back and 
forth between open windows\emdash {\i just press the F2 key}.  And while you're 
typing, try using the Control-W command to erase words.  Also try 
changing the text style (italic, bold, etc.) by using the {\b Style} menu or 
its keyboard equivalents.  (By the way, if you're using a screen 
accelerator and {\i this text} doesn't look right on your screen, you may 
want to turn off the screen part of the accelerator; certain 
accelerators don't interpret Marcel's text styles correctly.)  Remember, 
press F2 to come back here.\par 
Okay!  Now let's split the screen into two windows.  Press the F3 
key now.  You can still flip back and forth between windows with F2.  
Adjust the positioning by using the slider to the right.\par 
In your [unnamed] window, press Return to start a new paragraph.  
Then press F8\emdash this indents the first line.  Now type a couple of lines 
of text (without pressing Return).  Now press Return again.\par 
You see that the indenting of the previous paragraph has been 
recreated in the new one\emdash no need to press F8 every time.\par 
Now let's restore the windows to full size.  Press Control-F3 and 
then press F2, if necessary, until this window is on top.\par 
Want to select some text?  Some programs use drag-select or 
function keys.  With Marcel it's much easier.  Position the mouse arrow 
at the beginning of your selection and click-left (once).  Move the 
mouse to the end of the selection and click-right.  Voil\'e1!  To change 
the selection, reposition the mouse and click-right again.\par 
With the text selected, press the Delete key.  This cuts the 
selected region.  Press Insert to paste it back.  (You can also use the 
more standard Alt-C-V-P.)\par 
You may already have {\i inserted} text, by typing in the middle of one 
of your text lines.  Most other programs run your text off the right 
edge, where you can't see it.  Marcel temporarily splits the line in 
two.  After a second or so, it is automatically reformatted.  Try it!\par 
\pard The interval for the automatic reformatting can be adjusted to your 
liking, from 0 to 9 seconds.\par 
\pard \fi720 Also notice that with Marcel you can use the full width of the 
standard window when you type\emdash you see more of your text at one time.  
When printing, line length can be specified to whatever you like.\par 
And speaking of the screen, if you're using Warp 9, you may want to 
turn off the screen accelerator part of it\emdash it interferes with Marcel's 
display of italics (there's no problem with NVDI's accelerator, however).\par 
\par 
Marcel lets you assign up to 80 characters to each function key, so 
you can insert predefined text instantly.  Let's try it.  Put the cursor 
in the blank line below.\par 
\par 
Type whatever text you like (perhaps using italics, etc.).  Now 
press Control-Shift-F1, which "copies" the current line into the F1 
key.  Move the cursor to another location and press Shift-F1.  Your 
stored text is inserted.  These assignments can be saved to a file so 
they will always be available.\par 
Like to use special characters, like \'e9 and \'df and \'a3?  With Marcel 
it's easy.  Try making the one-half symbol, \'bd, in your window.  First 
press the Escape key (once).  Then type 1 and 2.  Now try making the 
accented e: \'e9.  You probably guessed.  It's Escape, e, and '.  See 
{\b Special chars} under the {\b Help} menu for a complete list.\par 
Now let's use Marcel's {\b Notes} feature.  Suppose, while you're 
writing away in a Marcel window, you think of something you want to 
write about or do later.  Instead of writing it down, use Marcel Notes!  
It's easy.  Press F1 and a special window is opened\emdash a window that is 
associated with the one you've just been using.  Type whatever you like 
and press F1 again to revert to the main window.  You can flip back and 
forth between a window and its Notes with F1.  If you press F3 with a 
Notes window open, the screen will be split to show both.\par 
When you save the contents of a window to a file, any Notes are 
saved with it.  Notes are not printed or exported, so only you see them.\par 
Now let's restore all the windows to full size.  Press Control-F3 
and then press F2, if necessary, until this window is on top.\par 
If you want to {\i import} a file from another word processor, use {\b Open 
(existing)} and select the file.  If it's not an RTF file (Marcel's 
default format, which is an industry standard), you'll see the Marcel 
Import screen.  Go ahead and select the appropriate format, press 
Return, and see your how well your file imports into Marcel\emdash chances are 
it will look identical to the original.\par 
As long as we're talking about {\i im}porting, we want to mention 
Marcel's {\i exporting} capability.  You can export in RTF (same as Save, 
except Notes are not exported), 1st-Word, and ASCII.  With ASCII, you can 
specify a line length for the exported file.\par 
Marcel's printing feature has many options and supports the 
following printers: PostScript, Hewlett-Packard DeskJet and LaserJet 
(PCL2 and PCL4/5), Epson and compatibles, Citizen, and Atari Laser (with 
Diablo emulator).  You select your printer type via the {\b Preferences} form 
(in the {\b Options} menu).  Before printing, you can select a font, set 
headers and footers with page numbers, specify line length and spacing, 
and even direct the printer output to a file (for printing on another 
machine).  Five pre-defined page layouts are supplied (letter, 
manuscript, term paper, etc.); you can modify these to your liking.  New 
for v2.2 is {\b Print Preview}, which shows you on screen how the printed 
version of your file will look (using the system font).\par 
And Marcel's spell checker, stocked with 45,000 words, is {\i fast}.  
With the list loaded in memory, it checks about 75 words a second.  If 
there isn't enough memory, you can also run it directly from the disk 
(hard disk only).  You can supply your own (ASCII) list of words.  Also, 
a British spelling list is available\emdash consult your shareware source.  
Installing the British list is explained in the Marcel manual.\par 
\par 
\pard Now let's play some more with indenting.  Put the mouse in the first 
line of this paragraph.  Press F8.  This indents the first line of a 
paragraph.  Now press F9, which indents the second and later lines.  Now 
you have a block indent.  Press F9 again to indent further.  This is an 
outdent.\par 
\pard \fi720 To clear all the indenting for the current paragraph, press F7.\par 
You can center a one-line paragraph with F6 (new in v2.2).  Try it 
with the following paragraph:\par 
Put the cursor here and press F6.\par 
To see how fast Marcel scrolls the screen, press the + and - keys 
at the far right end of the keyboard\emdash this is the equivalent of using 
the slider.\par 
Finally, let's look at a few handy keyboard commands.  Press 
Control-M now to mark the current line.  Now press Clr/Home (which will 
take you to the top of the file) and Control-G (which will go to the 
next marked line).  Are you back?  Great!\par 
Try pressing Control-V\emdash this changes the case of the letter under 
the cursor.\par 
Marcel WP now comes with a handy built-in screen saver.  Just press 
Shift-Esc (and then any key to resume your Marcel session).\par 
Press Clr/Home and use Control-D to skip down here again\emdash this 
command goes to the end of the current paragraph.\par 
Another new feature in v2.2 is paragraph sorting.  Select the 
following lines (click-left at the beginning of the following section 
and click-right at the end of it):\par 
Oregon\par 
Texas\par 
Alaska\par 
Montana\par 
Illinois\par 
Delaware\par 
\pard Now, with the six lines highlighted, click on the {\b Sort Paragraphs} item 
in the {\b Edit} menu.  You can also do numeric sorts\emdash try it!\par 
\pard \fi720 Like to get a word count or other statistic about your file?  Try 
the {\b Statistics} item in the {\b Options} menu.\par 
Now scroll the text until this line is at the top of the window.\par 
Below are two paragraphs from a magazine article.  Put the cursor 
in the first one, on the "&".  Press Control-P.  With one command, 
you've selected the whole paragraph (which can then be deleted, copied, 
etc.).  Press Control-S for the current sentence.  Now put the cursor at 
the beginning of the mistyped word "orck."  Press Control-X, followed by 
the letter {\i c}.  This means "transpose characters."  You can also 
transpose words and screen lines.  Another handy command let's you "open 
up" a new paragraph below the one you're in.  Press Control-O.\par 
\par 
\pard \li1440 \ri1440 \fi720 After strolling through the voluminous 
production building, we were led down a long hallway 
to the caves.  Dimly lit, with niches containing 
neo-classical statuettes, these tunnels were carved 
out of the soft volcanic & orck that forms the 
hillside.  We paused to consider the wonder of it.\par 
It is here that Pontchart Winery's wines are 
aged in an environment where the air has a constant 
temperature and humidity.\par 
\par 
\pard\par 
\pard \fi720 Now we'd like to invite you to explore Marcel WP v2.2 on your own.  
Take a look at some of the other menu items.  And press the Help key to 
see the keyboard commands.\par
