How to Use RealForms
During installation, RealForms will prompt you for your personal and company information. These settings will then be applied to all RealForms templates.
The next dialog will allow you to choose the style you desire for your documents. You can change this choice at any time by using the Baarns RealForms Options panel.
After successfully completing the installation program, a RealForms menu will appear on your menu bar. Use this menu to select the RealForms templates and options.
The first time you select a template, such as Letter Wizard, a wizard for customizing the template is loaded. This wizard will walk you through customizing the template to your personal preferences. After you have completed the customization wizard, it will not load again. To make changes, use Baarns RealForms Options.
All of the RealForms Wizards are easy to use. Most of your entries will be automatically generated for you. If necessary, type in your preferred settings. You will see your changes immediately take place in the template. The rapid feedback was implemented to eliminate guesswork.
After customizing the look of your template, another Wizard will load. Each template has a slightly different Wizard depending on the functionality and design of the template. All Wizards are designed based on written correspondence. The Address panel is generally the main panel in the Wizard. The Address panel uses your Schedule Plus or electronic mail address book for entries. To add an entry, use the Address Book... command. This will display your Schedule Plus or E-mail address book for you to select the entry or allow you to add an entry.
