    1. Installation
    ---------------
      To install Quattro Pro on your hard disk:

        o Place Disk 1 in drive A.
        o Type  A:INSTALL  and press ENTER.
        o Follow the directions that appear onscreen.

      If you have trouble reading the installation screens, use the
      optional command line parameter /B to run INSTALL in a black and 
      white display mode:

       o Type  A:INSTALL /B  and press ENTER

      It may be necessary to use /B if you're using an LCD screen or a 
      system that has a color graphics adapter with a monochrome or 
      composite monitor.

      After you install Quattro Pro, to start the program:

       o Type  Q  and press ENTER.

    3. Upgrading from Quattro Pro 3
    -------------------------------
      To upgrade to Quattro Pro 4 from an earlier version of Quattro Pro,
      follow the instructions in Chapter 2 of "Getting Started."

      If you previously used BSINST to install additional Bitstream fonts,
      you must reinstall them after installing Quattro Pro 4. If you
      have the newer type of Bitstream fonts (.SPD files), you must
      use SPDINST to install them.

      If you previously installed BORLAND's ProShow ValuePack, you must re-
      install it after installing Quattro Pro 4.

      If you have any read-only files in the Quattro Pro directory,
      make them read-write before you run INSTALL. If INSTALL encounters
      any read-only files, installation can't be successfully completed.

      If you have custom menu trees from earlier versions, save them
      to a different directory before you run INSTALL. Copy them
      back to the Quattro Pro directory afterwards, then run NEWMU to
      translate them to version 4 menu files. This retains all
      previous menu structures.

      Upgrading network installations
      -------------------------------
      When upgrading a network installation of Quattro Pro 3
      to version 4, the menu and resource files stored in each user's
      private directory must be updated.  These include any .MU, .MP,
      or .RF files. Replace the .RF files with the updated versions
      and create new .MP files using MPMAKE as described in the
      "User's Guide."


    4. Bitstream fonts
    ------------------
      Quattro Pro uses Bitstream's typefaces and enabling software, 
      producing high-quality bitmap fonts. When you look closely at printed 
      output from Quattro Pro, you may occasionally notice extra white space 
      between characters.  This is not a problem with your fonts. This extra
      white space is commonly reduced using a composition function called 
      kerning. Quattro Pro 4 does not offer kerning.

      You can access Bitstream fonts in two places:
         /Style|FontTable|Edit Fonts|Typeface
         /Style|Fonts|Typeface


    5. WYSIWYG mode
    ---------------
      There are new default spreadsheet colors in version 4. These colors
      appear in text display mode only, not in WYSIWYG mode.
      If you want to use the version 3 text-mode colors,
      choose /Options|Colors|Palettes|Version 3 Color.

      When using proportional fonts in WYSIWYG mode, the following commands
      may produce inappropriate results: /Style|Column Width; /Style|Block
      Size|Set Width, Reset Width, and Auto Width; /Tool|Reformat, and
      Parse. For best results, change to a text display mode before using
      these commands.


    6. Problems using a mouse
    -------------------------
      Display problems using Quattro Pro and Microsoft mouse driver version
      7.04 disappear after CONFIG.SYS is changed to "device=mouse.sys /Y".

      If the mouse pointer doesn't appear on screen, you may need to update
      your mouse driver. See "Extended text display mode" in Chapter 1 of
      the "User's Guide."


    7. Running under Windows
    ------------------------
      If you want to run Quattro Pro in a small window (instead of full-
      screen), either delete the file EGASPL.PCX, rename it, or move it to
      another directory. Within Quattro Pro, set the display mode to
      one of the text modes. This way, Quattro Pro won't start up in
      graphics mode.


    8. Sound files
    --------------
      You may not be able to play sound files when running under Microsoft
      Windows in 386/Enhanced mode, or while running under Quarterdeck
      DESQView. When using the above configurations, save your spreadsheets
      before experimenting with sound files. See Chapter 13 of the "User's
      Guide" for instructions on using sound files.

      If you would like to order additional sound effects, see the coupon
      from RealSound that is included in your Quattro Pro package.


    9. Slide transitions
    ---------------------
      Some video adapters don't support all slide transitions. If you find
      that one transition doesn't work with your video adapter, try 
      another.


    10. Using Expanded memory
    -------------------------
      Quattro Pro can use up to 8MB of expanded memory.

      To test whether your EMS hardware and software are working correctly,
      run EMSTEST.COM from DOS and follow instructions on the screen. If
      errors are detected, contact your local hardware dealer.


    11. Printing
    ------------
       Font 1 (Normal font) controls both vertical and horizontal spacing.

       The vertical height of a row is calculated as follows:
        *  A manual row-height setting overrules the default row height.
        *  If the height of the row has not been manually set, the 
           height is determined by either the largest font in that row
           or the height of Font 1, whichever is largest.

       If the selector is within an inserted graph block, /Print|Graph
       Print|Go will always print the inserted graph. To print a
       different graph, position the selector outside the inserted graph
       and use /Print|Graph Print|Name to select a different graph.

       In text mode, when printing to a Color PostScript printer,
       black shading is controlled by the foreground color of /Options|
       Color|Spreadsheet|Shading. For black shading, choose foreground
       color of black and background color of any other color.

       In WYSIWYG mode, when printing to a color or black & white
       PostScript printer, black shading may appear gray. Use /Options|
       Colors|Spreadsheet|WYSIWYG Colors|Shaded Cells to choose a color
       other than gray.


    12. Links in a 1-2-3 version 2.2 file
    -------------------------------------
      The maximum number of different spreadsheets that a Quattro Pro
      spreadsheet can link to is 62. If a 2.2 file has links to more
      than 62 files, Quattro Pro stops reading data after the 62nd
      link. Data beyond that point will not be loaded.

      To load a 2.2 spreadsheet with more than 62 links, convert
      the links into their values first, or relocate the important
      links into a link library and keep the links to 62 or less.


    13. Importing a .WK1 file
    -------------------------
      If the .WK1 file you're importing has Allways or WYSIWYG/Impress
      formatting, Quattro Pro asks if you want to import it. If you
      answer yes, the file is imported with a .WQ1 file extension.


    14. Allways formatting
    ----------------------
      Allways formatting is translated when importing a 1-2-3 version 2.2
      file.


    15. Cell references in a 1-2-3 version 3x file
    ----------------------------------------------
      If a .WK3 file has multiple spreadsheets, 3-D cell references
      are translated with @@ . For example, the formula
      +D:A1*100 in BUDGETS.WK3 converts to @@("[BUDGETS.W0D]A1")*100.


    16. Importing LICS and LMBCS
    ----------------------------
      Choose /Options|International|LICS/LMBCS Conversion|Yes before
      importing a 1-2-3 file that contains international characters.


    17. Sample .QLL file
    --------------------
      Quattro Pro includes a file called SAMPLE.QLL, which contains several
      add-in @functions. You can load this file with the /Tools|Library|Load
      command. Once this file is loaded, the following additional @functions
      are available:

         ADD-IN @FUNCTION       DESCRIPTION
        ================================================================
         sinh(x)                (exp(x) - exp(-x))/2
         cosh(x)                (exp(x) + exp(-x))/2
         tanh(x)                sinh(x)/cosh(x)
         hypot(x,y)             sqrt(x^2+y^2)
         add_months(x,y)        date obtained by adding y months to date x.
                                It handles the end of the month and year
                                as follows:
                                        30-Nov-91 + 2 mon = 30-Jan-92
                                        30-Nov-91 + 3 mon = 29-Feb-92
         last_day(x)            returns the last day of month of the serial
                                date number x (the time of day is dropped
                                from the serial number)

      Use the following syntax with these @functions:

      @LIBRARY.function (for example, @SAMPLE.sinh(x)).


    18. Selecting blocks in macros
    ------------------------------
      In macros, use {/ Macro;RetainBlock} to retain selected blocks as 
      Quattro Pro 4 does; use {/ Macro;NoRetainBlock} to
      do block selection as Quattro Pro 3x did. Unless you
      use {/ Macro;RetainBlock}, blocks are retained like
      Quattro Pro 3x in macro execution.


    19. Documentation corrections
    -----------------------------
      Here are some minor corrections to the manuals:
       o  The /Print|Layout|Percent Scaling command is now called 
          % Scaling.
       o  Step 3 on page 674 of the "User's Guide" should include:
            Type: SPDINST and press Enter
       o  The correct menu-equivalent macro command for the Max Bubble Size
          option in the /Graph|Customize Series dialog box for bubble
          graphs in the "@Functions and Macros" manual (pages 201 and 226)
          is {/ Bubble;Size}.
       o  There is a menu-equivalent macro command {/ Protection;Formstatus}
          to find the status of formula protection.


    20. Solve For improvements
    --------------------------
      Due to an improved solver engine, the Solve For command 
      might give slightly different answers than in previous versions
      of Quattro Pro.

      Solve For is now more sensitive to the starting values
      supplied in nonlinear problems and might display the message
      "No feasible solution can be found." Solve For tries solving 
      the problem, but first warns you that the result may not be
      optimal because of your starting variable value. Since the
      results are probably close, choose Go again, or use a different
      starting value and try again.


    21. Optimizer tip
    -----------------
      For best performance, we suggest you use Optimizer in text
      display mode.


    22. Dual values in Optimizer
    ----------------------------
      If dual values in the answer report are close to zero, choose
      Go again a few times to refine them. The solution will stay the
      same, but dual values will converge.


    23. Who should use Overstrike Print
    -----------------------------------
      /Options|International|Overstrike Print remaps accented characters 
      according to the French ISO character set. It is intended primarily
      for French Canadian users of the U.S. English version of Quattro Pro.
      You might not get the expected overstrike characters on a U.S. 7-bit
      printer.


    24. Printing from Audit
    -----------------------
      When you choose /Tools|Audit|Destination|Print, the following print
      settings are used from the Print Layout dialog box:
       o  Break Pages
       o  % Scaling
       o  Margins
       o  Orientation (but Banner prints as Landscape)

      You might want to set Break Pages to No when printing Label
      References, Blank References, ERR, or External Link audits.


    25. Pre-formatting cells
    ------------------------
      If you pre-format a group of cells with a custom date format,
      then press Ctrl-D to enter a date, the custom format is overwritten
      with the default date format. Try entering all the dates first, then
      applying the custom date format.


    26. Format code for a number in scientific notation
    ---------------------------------------------------
      To create format code for scientific notation, follow this example:

      Cell contents         Format code              Display as
      -------------         -----------              ----------
      123456                N0.00e+0                 123e+5


    27. Network users
    -----------------
      Quattro Pro lets you log in to any NetWare file server you have
      rights to. However, you can't log in to the same server as two
      different users from one station. If you try, you see the message
      "Already logged in to server as a different user."

      If you're performing a network task within Quattro Pro, such as
      running a print-queue monitor, and the network goes down, you
      might need to reboot after exiting Quattro Pro.


    28. How to customize an overriding graph type
    ---------------------------------------------
      To customize the overriding graph type series, set
      /Graph|Graph Type to the overriding type. In the dialog
      box, select the overriding series, then set the options
      you want. Finally, set Graph Type back to the overall type.

      For example, if the graph is a bar graph and the second series is
      set to Override Type|Line, choose /Graph|Graph Type|Line, then
      choose Customize Series. Choose 2nd Series, then change the
      options for a line. Choose Quit, then set Graph Type back to Bar.


    29. The Borland Print Spooler
    -----------------------------
      If you use DOS 5.0 when installing BPS.COM, don't use LOADHI BPS.COM.

      If you're printing to LPT3, LPT4, PRN, or EPT with background
      printing enabled, the device will be remapped to LPT1.

      If you load BPS.COM, then load a TSR program (such as a Novell
      NetWare driver), you should unload the TSR program before
      unloading BPS.COM to avoid problems.


    30. Exporting to a Harvard Graphics file
    ----------------------------------------
      Elements created with Quattro Pro's Annotator are lost if
      you export to a Harvard Graphics file.


    31. Installing different character sets
    ---------------------------------------
      Contrary to the instructions in Appendix K of the User's
      Guide, you must reinstall Quattro Pro 4 to install a different
      character set.


    32. Enhanced fonts
    ------------------

      If you customize fonts in a Quattro Pro 4 file, the fonts will
      change if you load the file in an earlier version of Quattro Pro.


    33. Clearing a custom style
    ---------------------------

      Clearing a custom style with /Style|Define Style|Erase returns
      General numeric format to the block.
