GoBe Productive - Being Productive in Zeta

GoBe Productive is a powerful, fully integrated suite of office and graphics tools designed first for BeOS, and now for Zeta, Windows and Linux. 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 place graphics, text, images and spreadsheets all within a single document. Each frame behaves like a graphic object. For example, a spreadsheet frame can be rotated 90 degrees and layered on top of a rectangle graphic to create a unique design for your document. Furthermore, this spreadsheet frame is also a fully functioning, floating environment capable of being directly edited.

Launching GoBe Productive
GoBe Productive starts up with a New Document dialog box that lets you choose between: Graphics, Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Image Processing and Presentation.

If you wish to open an existing file, click Open.... A standard Zeta Open File dialog box will now appear. Locate the file you wish to open and click Open.

Environments
All documents and frames in GoBe Productive have an environment. An environment is a set of tools and features available for a frame or document type. As you switch between different frames in a document, the interface dynamically changes to reflect the capabilities of the currently selected frame.

If you are working on a word processing document, the word processing environment is active. The toolbars at the top of the screen will than display tools specifically for the word processing environment. If you switch to a graphics frame, the toolbars and menus change to display commands only applicable to the graphics environment.

This user manual doesn't aim to be a complete listing of all features available in Gobe Productive 2.0, but rather tries to give you an introduction to the 5 environments: Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Graphics and Image Processing.
