Astound for Windows v1.5
========================

This document contains changes and additions that were made to the program
after the manuals and addendum were printed.

Tutorials
=========

Tutorial 3: Charting
--------------------
Page 33 of the Getting Started manual asks you to create a new slide using
the New Slide pop-up menu. Before doing this, ensure that you are currently
on the second slide, named New Product, of the presentation. If you are
continuing onto Tutorial 3 directly from Tutorial 2, you should be on the
second slide already.
If you are not on slide 2, click and hold on the Slide pop-up menu (located
to the right of the New Slide pop-up menu) and release the mouse on New
Product.

Tutorial 5: Interactivity
-------------------------
Page 60 of the Getting Started manual should instruct you to return the
slide to 100% magnification after you have changed the color of the
button. To do this, press and hold the magnification button in the tool
bar and select 100% from the menu.

Page 64 of the Getting Started manual asks you to click on the "New
products are taking flight!" when the presentation reaches the last slide.
This text is on the second slide, not the last slide.


Segmented Presentation Files
============================
Astound allows a presentation file to be saved in segments across multiple
floppy disks or in different directories on a hard disk. When you wish to
load this type of presentation, you must first ensure that each segment is
placed in one common directory on your hard disk. You may have to copy the
files from each disk or each directory to one common directory on your hard 
disk first. This does not apply to Self-Running presentations.


Object Interaction
==================
Page 349 of the User's Guide describes two interaction options: Click In
Object's Rectangle and Click In Object's Image. These options are not
available in this version. Instead, interactivity will always be triggered
when the mouse is clicked within the object's rectangle.


Template Resources
==================
If you are using a template that contains resources (eg. background
pictures, sounds, actors, etc.) and you switch to another template, the
resources from the first template will remain loaded. You should consider
selecting the Purge Unused Resources command from the Edit menu to remove
these resources because they do use memory.


Changing Color Schemes
======================
When you choose a new color scheme for a presentation, only those objects
contained on the slides themselves will use the new color scheme.
Backgrounds and objects contained on any template you are using will retain
the template's color scheme.

If you want to change all of the basic colors in your presentation, you
must first use the "Edit Master" command in the Slide menu to access the
template. Then you can use the Color Scheme dialog box to choose a new
scheme. After choosing a new color scheme, you can return to editing your
presentation.


Printing White Text
===================
Some non-postscript printer drivers may be optimized so that they will
not print white TrueType text. If this occurs, you should check if the
driver has a "Print TrueType as Graphics" option and enable this option.


Terminating Slideshow
=====================
Page 421 of the User's Guide indicates that [Ctrl][F4] will abort slideshow
playback. This should be [Alt][F4].

Importing Lotus Freelance Files.
================================
To recreate tables imported from Lotus Freelance Files use the create chart 
tool to drag out a rectangle.  From the select datasheet dialog box select 
the datasheet that contains the table data, this datasheet is most likely
the one that has uses set to zero.  Then click on the create table button in
the datasheet window.
