French Assistant for Windows                                  07/12/94

Thank you for choosing MicroTac Software's French Assistant for
Windows. We are proud of this product, and are confident that it will
help you communicate in French.

Please remember that proper accents are critical for a good translation.
If you have questions about accents, please refer to chapter 9 of the
User's Guide.

The appendix of the User's Guide also includes Common Questions that
you may wish to read before calling technical support.

Translating documents is now very easy.  And now that word processing
formats are preserved during translation, the translation may look like
a perfect document, ready for publication.  Be careful!  While the
software generally produces understandable translations, only a
professional translator can guarantee a perfect translation.

Run some of the sample files to get an idea of the translation quality.
"Understandable" translation is appropriate in some cases, while other
cases require "publication" quality translation.

Please note:
Once a document has been translated, any changes made to the original
will untranslate that portion of the document.  If you use either
Paragraph or Character from the Format menu, you will lose the
translations of the selected sentences.  Reformatting the entire
document will untranslate the entire document.  When following the
Tutorial in Chapter 4 of the User's Guide, be aware that the section
"Formatting Your Project" is not intended to be performed after
translating a document.  If your document is inadvertently untranslated,
you can retrieve the last saved version by opening the File menu and
using Revert to Saved.


Again, thank you for your support of the product.  Enjoy!
