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.
