7.  Q. The Edit menu contains a number of new commands, such as Paste
       Special and Change Link.  What are these options, and how are
       they used?
    A. These new Edit menu commands support object linking and
       embedding (OLE). The options include: Paste Special, Insert
       Object, Object, Change Link, and Convert To Static. For a
       detailed discussion of OLE topics, consult the FoxPro
       "Developer's Guide." For additional information on the new Edit
       menu options, consult the FoxPro "User's Guide."
8.  Q. The Program menu contains a new command called Beautify. What
       does it do?
    A. The Beautify command makes program files easier to read by
       altering the appearance of the file. Options include altering
       the case of keywords and variables, and adding additional
       indentation within procedures and DO CASE statements. Action
       diagram symbols can also be added to the .PRG file to highlight
       program organization by bracketing specific control statements
       such as:
          IF
           DO [item]
          ELSE
           DO [item]
          ENDIF
9.  Q. The Text menu is a new feature. What does it do?
    A. The Text menu adds support for multiple fonts and text
       formatting. The Font command on the Text menu makes all your
       installed Windows fonts available in FoxPro.
    
        NOTE: A font option is also available for Browse windows.
       The Enlarge and Reduce Font commands change all text to the
       next available point size in the currently selected font.  To
       alter the spacing of the current text file, select Single
       Space, 1 1/2 Space, or Double Space.
       The Indent command performs a block indent by automatically
       moving a selected group of lines to the next tab stop. The
       Undent command does the opposite by moving a selected group of
       lines back to the previous tab stop.
10. Q. Occasionally an Object menu becomes visible. When is it
       displayed and why?
    A. The Object menu is available when either the Screen Builder or
       the Report Writer window is open. As with the Text and Browse
       menus, the Object menu has access to fonts. Specific commands
       on the Object menu are enabled and disabled based on the
       currently selected object.
       For example, a rectangle drawn in the Screen Design window may
       have an outline or pen color, a background or fill color, and a
       fill pattern.
11. Q. FoxPro for Windows includes the Windows-style Help dialog box.
       Is there any way to access the FoxPro 2.0-style help system?
    A. By default, FoxPro for Windows uses the Windows-style Help
       system.  To access the FoxPro-2.0 style help system, enter the
       following command in the Command window:
          set help to foxhelp.dbf
       Pressing F1 or choosing Help from the menu bar will bring up
       the FoxPro 2.0-style help system.
       To return to the Windows-style Help system, enter the following
       command in the Command window:
          set help to foxhelp.hlp
       To permanently change the help system to the FoxPro 2.0 style,
       add this statement to your CONFIG.FPW file:
          help=foxhelp.dbf
