It was hard to cull out the 6 most important features of Pathagoras, but we were told that six was all we could have. (It's a law, or something.) So here they are: True paragraph assembly: Pathagoras will read all of the clauses in that book and present them so that you can select an appropriate sub-set. Pathagoras will then assemble just the selected clauses into a new complete document. Quickly scan for, and then quickly replace any variables that reside in the newly created document using Pathagoras' powerful Instant Database tool. DropDown Lists: Save the contents of any folder into always active, always visible "DropDown Lists." Up to 10 DropDown Lists can be simultaneously maintained. Recall an item within any of the Lists is a simple 'point & Click' operation. A DropDown List can contain standard documents, images, spreadsheets, PDF files, WordPerfect® files. . . anything. Again, no navigation required. Plain text variables: No complex or hidden fields are needed to create variables. Pathagoras use only plain keyboard text for this purpose. A variable is created simply by placing brackets around descriptive text. "[Client Name]" and "[Customer Address]" are variables. Pathagoras scans for [bracketed variables] and presents them to you for completion in a highly automated fashion. Built-in database: You can easily and quickly save the personal data you provided in the earlier steps. That way you can reuse the data for another document based on the same variables. (Values are saved as CSV files. CSV files can be easily shared with most other major database systems.) Instant 'File Insertion' Tools: Pathagoras offers several techniques by which you can instantly recall external documents into your current document. Type a clause or document name. Press <Alt-G>. Instant document! No navigation required. One-number navigation: Assign a number and a nickname to any folder of documents anywhere in your system (local computer or across the network). Display the contents of any commonly used folder simply by typing its number to the editing screen and pressing <Alt-G> (Pathagoras' universal hot key). Actually the title to this secton should be "one-number 'no navigation'." The above only scratches the surface of the myriad of features offered by Pathagoras. (If we were allowed an 7th feature, we would have to say it is the Name & Subject Editor. A tool such as this just doesn't exist anywhere else. It lets you display the names and current subjects of an entire folder of documents onto a single editable table. Change the names and subjects of one some or all of the documents as if you are editing a regular document. There is no easier way to edit and manage your document names and subjects. |
