Word Processing Overview

The GlobalWare Word Processor function offers basic word-processing capabilities. While this function does not have the advanced word-processing capabilities of Microsoft Word, you can use its formatting and data insertion features to effectively write letters, create mailings, and process mail merges without leaving GlobalWare. For information about mail merge, see Mail Merge.

For information about character and paragraph formatting, see Formatting Documents. For information about inserting symbols, images, today's date and time, data fields (for mail merges), and text from other compatible files into your documents, see Inserting Document Elements.
