# Documentation Conventions

This documentation is divided into nine sections (The Basics, Tutorial, Graphics, etc.) that cover the different aspects of Gobe Productive. Use the buttons in the menu on the left side of the screen to access each section. When a section is opened, the menu changes to display all the topics within that section. Each bullet in the menu is a topic. Click the text to open the topic. The topics are filled with instructions, examples, and explanations. To return to the home page, click the Introduction menu item.

While reading a page, if you want to jump to the top of the page, click the up-link icon located throughout the documentation.

## Document Display

This document was written exclusively for use with the BeOS NetPositive browser. However, each system and web browser is different and displays text differently. The pages in this documentation were designed for systems with a minimum of 600 x 480 screen resolution. However, 800 x 600 resolution is strongly recommended.

The text in this documentation uses the default font selected for your browser. If the text is too large or difficult to read, you may want to change the type size and font used for your browser. Refer to the documentation included with your web browser for information on changing the default fonts and sizes.

The images in this documentation are all 256 color GIF images. This format was used for maximum compatibility with older browsers. Some images may appear grainy or blurry. This is not a problem with your browser or the images, but rather a limitation of the file formats and image sizes. Sometimes images are easier to read when printed.

## Text Conventions

Bold text | Indicates a screen object such as a menu item or button.
Italics | Used for emphasis and to denote variables in a function.
Underlined text | A hyperlink. Usually appears as a different color, however this depends on your web browser's settings.

## Printing the Documentation

The on-line material can be printed. However, the resolution and layout of the material on printed pages may be different than on the screen.
