TEXT INPUTTING:

When you load the program you will be asked for your personal
information.  This information will be used for all four digital
business cards, if you make a mistake AFTER COMPLETING A LINE, 
or wish to change this text later, you must exit the program 
and then restart it to change this text.  Enter all business 
information that you wish, you do not need to add text to every line.  
The last line on the first screen of personal information that says 
"Other Information" will not display properly if you fill the entire 
line in with all capital letters.


The text input after your personal information screens is also used
for all four digital business cards.  There are 24 lines of text that
may be inputted.  Enter text of your choice, it can be as many words
as provided for by the line, or it can be only a single word if you
wish occupying that line.  You may place your words where you wish on
the lines, they will remain in the same place that you type them on
your digital business card.  Please note that for Business Card #2
do not add text past the arrows on the screen, text added beyond this
point will not display correctly due to the width of the text box for
card 2.

Digital Business Cards 2 & 3 are set up for mouse operation, cards
1 & 4 are not.  Digital Business Cards 1 and 4 use only the text entered
in the beginning of the program, the personal information and the 24
lines of text input.  Digital Business Cards 2 and 3 use that text
inputted and also have additional text inputs.  Experiment with each
business card to find the one that best suits your needs.
