# Gobe Productive User's Guide

Welcome to the User's Guide for Gobe Productive. This guide is your resource for learning and using the powerful Gobe Productive suite.

Gobe Productive is a fully integrated suite of office and graphics tools designed exclusively for the Be operating system. Only one application is required to access all the components and tools of Gobe Productive.

At the core of Gobe Productive is a flexible and easy-to-use document-centric design. Modular plug-in components, called parts, make adding new features and capabilities simple and flexible. Using different frames, you can easily place text, graphics, images, and spreadsheets all within a single document. Frames, like a spreadsheet or word processing frame, behave the same as graphic objects. You can apply borders, fill colors, even rotate a frame in the same way you can manipulate a box, oval, or line. Furthermore, each frame is also a fully functioning, floating environment capable of being directly edited.

If this is your first time using Gobe Productive, take a look at The Basics and Tutorial sections. The Tutorial section includes some easy, step-by-step instructions for working with the different components of the Gobe Productive suite.

If you have used Gobe Productive before, and need additional information about a particular component of Gobe Productive, click the appropriate menu item in the menu bar to the left of the screen.
