DocReader - The program should reside on your computer. It is a stand alone program
that will not require installation. Simply copy it into it's own folder and unzip it -
make a shortcut and copy this to your desktop.
DocReader - this handy program allows you to create files in PALM format as well as
text and then save-convert them on the fly. I prefer to create a file - changing the
FONT through the OPTIONS tab to COURRIER NEW in a 10 point (this accurately mimics the
appearance in the PALM - bookmark it - sync it to my PALM - and open it in AportisDoc to
test the way it looks and try out the bookmarks. That's it. Remember - no formatting in a
PALM - no pictures (graphics) imbedded in the file - no charts - tables - unless you can
"create" them using solely the 101 characters of the keyboard - NO SPEACIAL
CHARACTERS!!! NO CONTROL CHARACTERS!!! Book marks must be no longer than 15 characters
each inclusive!!!
SmartDoc - This handy dandy little program gets loaded into your PALM (handheld) - Yes
it seems nutty that you'll have AportisDoc AND SmartDoc loaded - BUT, they
each perform very different functions! SmartDoc allows you to open your file as a COPY
leaving the original file alone while you fool around - edit - delete - copy - paste -
add-reorganize-alphabetize the book marks - or rename the copy. These things may seem
trivial - but if you want to work on a large file while whiling away some time in a siding
- then you might come to appreciate this aspect - as one little error - and you might want
to delete the fiasco and open ANOTHER COPY to play with! Retaining the ORIGINAL
file while performing all manner of operations on a copy is believe me - a blessing!!
Once opened in SmartDoc and edited - renamed - book marked - the file may be
"saved" by simply closing it. Then the newly named - fully edited to perfection
and accuracy and completely carefully book marked file is ready for distribution to other
users!
