Fun Write is a easy-to-use, fill-in-the-blank word processor made for
kids and the computer illiterate. Fun Write doesn’t look anything like a
standard word processor. Instead of creating a document from a blank
screen, Fun Write uses a fill-in-the-blanks approach. The best way
we can explain how Fun Write works is to show you, to see all of our
screenshots of Fun Write,

include an Address Book, Address Book (kids), Assignments (kids), Book
Report (kids), Diary, General Purpose, Journal, Labels (other), Letters
and Envelopes, Memos, Messages (other), Notes, School Papers (kids),
Text (other), To Do, and User Guide. Fun
Write is also so small that the entire program and all of its documents
can fit on a flash drive or memory stick. Fun Write is the kid
version of
Yeah Write.
Documents have attractive, colorful
backgrounds. Screen fonts are set independently from printed fonts, so a
writer can edit with large characters and print with normal size
characters. The program interface is simple enough that using most
features is fairly obvious, even to users with a minimal amount of
Windows experience.
Documents
Document management is transparent, which is a another way of saying
that the writer doesn’t have to worry about filenames. The program
automatically stores documents in folders and drawers, and automatically
lists them in a folder's index. Finding documents later is a snap.
Folders have names which match the type of document contained in the
folders. Fun Write has folders for an address book, a diary, a journal,
general purpose documents, letters, envelopes, memos, notes, and to do
lists. With each folder, a writer can create a document by clicking on
<New> in the index and filling in the blanks in the document window. FW
saves a document automatically when the writer exits the program or
stops typing for a few seconds.
When
the writer prints a document, Fun Write displays a preview of the
printed document. By clicking on the various printed styles to the right
of the preview, the author can quickly change the look of a document. In
many cases, the document prints perfectly the first time.
Character Styles
In addition to normal text, Fun Write supports bold, italics, and
underline, and combinations of the three.
Paragraph Styles
In addition to standard paragraphs, FW supports bullets, check boxes,
indented paragraphs, hanging indented paragraphs, paragraphs indented
left and right, numbered lists, outlines, headings, and titles. Outlines
are only available in the registered version. The free versions
generally have fewer available style levels. The registered and retail
versions support additional options for displaying bullets and numbered
lists.
