RealeWriter Pro Features

When you download the free RealeWriter software, you may notice that several menu items and window features are marked “Pro”. These features will be enabled when you purchase a RealeWriter Pro license. Upon purchase of a RealeWriter Pro license, an activation code will be sent to you so you can activate these special features in RealeWriter. The RealeWriter Pro features are listed and described below.

File menu

• “New as Template” allows you to use any RealeBook as a template (or starting point) from which to create a new RealeBook of your own.
• “Save as Template” allows you to create template (or starting point) RealeBooks for use by others. For example, a teacher might create a RealeBook with pictures of dinosaurs included in the Media Organizer for students to start their own projects.
• The “Collage Maker” lets you combine your images into collages, which make great RealeBook covers. The free RealeWriter will make collages but adds a watermark to them.

Media menu

• “Save Image” and “Save All Images” let you save images from a RealeBook onto your hard drive.

Sharing

• “Approve RealeBook” is used to add RealeBooks to a RealeLibrary. You will also need to be a manager of a RealeLibrary to use this feature.

Publishing

The free RealeWriter lets you print in the “Standard” RealeBook size, which can be assembled with scissors and a standard desktop stapler. Other sizes listed below require a RealeWriter Pro license. Otherwise, they print with a watermark.

• The “Classic” RealeBook measures 5.5" x 4.25" and is the most popular sized RealeBook due to its easy of assembly.
• The “Mid” RealeBook measures 4.25" x 3.33" and is popular when using 1/3 less paper than Classic is important.
• The “Pocket” RealeBook measures 2.44" x 2" and makes a small RealeBook that fits easily into a purse or pocket.
• The “Sheet” RealeBook uses a full sheet of paper and is a nice large format for reading with a group or for wall calendars.
• The “Half Sheet” RealeBook 7" x 5.5" is a top-bound format that makes nice desk calendars.
• The “Flyer” RealeBook places 3 page pairs per printed page and is useful for presenting a RealeBook on transparencies or for posting the page pairs in sequence on a wall.
• The “Contact Sheet” planning document prints all of your images in a grid layout.

Preferences

• “Protect Preferences” and “Hide Printer Settings” keep prying hands from changing preferences and RealeWriter printer settings. These are imperative for school lab settings.
• “Hide Back Cover Caption” lets you print RealeBooks without the RealeBooks logo on the back cover.
• “Manage this RealeLibrary” works in conjunction with the “Approve RealeBook” panel to let you approve RealeBooks to a RealeLibrary. You must also be a manager of a RealeLibrary to use this feature.
• The “Shared Computer” feature makes it easier for multiple users to use the “Send” and “Contribute” features of RealeWriter.
