When you create a new file, the main word processing window is displayed. Z-Write uses a simple dual-paned writing system. On the left is a scrollable list of Section names. (New files have only one pre-defined Section called "Untitled." You can change the default name within Preferences.) To the right of the Section List is a standard text editing area. Any text you type is associated with the Section you have selected on the left. (If no Section is selected, the editing area is disabled.) When you click on a different Section, that Section's text is placed on the right for editing. Each Section can have as much text as you'd like.
At the top of the window is the Z-Write Toolbar where you have tools for quickly formatting your text and bringing up functions such as the statistics window. The Toolbar features help text: if you point the mouse at the button and don't move it for a second, an explanation of the button will appear. You can also read a description of its in the "Hot Help" area below the Section List at the bottom of the window.
If you select a different Section from the list on the left, the text for that Section is displayed on the right. You are free to edit and copy and paste between sections. You can even drag text from other applications into the editing area, and if you drag a selection to the desktop, Z-Write will create a text clipping (if your operating system supports it). You can drag text from the editing area to the Section List to quickly create a new Section with that text.
At any time, you can add or delete Sections to your document. You can create as many Sections as you like, but each must be uniquely named. (Z-Write prevents you from entering the same name twice.) You can write as much as you'd like in each Section. No matter how many Sections you create, Z-Write saves the entire document as one convenient file.
