Tutorial
Welcome to the Gobe Productive tutorial. This
tutorial teaches some of the basic features and capabilities of the Gobe Productive suite.
This tutorial is intended for new users to the Gobe
Productive suite. Readers are expected to have reviewed the concepts and terms in The Basics section.
This tutorial also assumes you are familiar with the Be Operating System (BeOS),
particularly the use of menu commands and the mouse. If you are new to the BeOS,
click the Welcome to the BeOS link on your desk top, or use NetPositive
to open the Welcome_to_BeOS.html file located in your /boot/beos/documentation
folder. This documentation explains the basic use and structure of the BeOS.
Starting Gobe Productive
Unlike some office suites where each tool is a separate application, Gobe Productive is
a fully integrated suite. You only need to run one application to work with all the
tools.
There are two ways to start Gobe Productive:
- Double-click the Gobe Productive desktop icon linked to the Gobe
Productive application.
- Click the main Be menu. From the Applications
folder select Gobe Productive.
Once opened, the New Document dialog box (below) is displayed. If you wish to
start a new file, select the type of document you wish to create and click OK.

If you wish to open an existing document, click Open. A standard
BeOS Open File dialog box is displayed. Locate the file you wish to open and click Open.
