þA Step by Step Tutorial¿
¿You may want to maximize this window and print this topic so you can follow along easier.

The following scenario gives an example of how to use this software to create more effective resumes by adding the inclusion of specific keywords that an employer would be seeking in your area of expertise.

Having said that, to assume that the software is merely for examining job ads and improving resumes is to do it a great disservice to the true power of the application. There exists no program that can analyze digital articles with greater ease and effectiveness - as you'll soon discover once you get familiar with the application.

Getting Started:

Shipped with the program comes 3 files and they are:

1. Sample Maintenance Electrician Ad (as one would find on the Internet)
2. Sample Maintenance Electrician Resume
3. Sample Maintenance Electrician Keywords

Step 1 - Opening the AD:

From the main window, click the button at the top labeled "Open Word Frequency Analyzer". From the Word Analyzer Window, under the menu "File" click "Open"  - shortcut = CTRL + O. Select the file named "Sample Maintenance Electrician Ad" and click "OK". This will insert the ad in the text area.

Step 2 - Generating Word Lists:

At the top of the window, click the button labeled "Generate Word Lists" - shortcut = CTRL + W. This will scan the text for every word contained in the document (except Stop Words - see Help Topic "Stop Words") and develop 2 lists.

1. Words Sorted Alphabetically
2. Words Sorted by Count

Step 3 - Highlighting the Words and Adjusting the Background Shading:

To demonstrate how the highlighting features of the software works, in the list on the right (either one) click on the word "electrical".

You'll note that it is found 4 times within the document with each occurrence highlighted in black - bolded and underscored. Go back to the list and click on the word "electrician". You'll see that "electrician" has been highlighted as well but in a different color. Before we continue, you'll note that at the bottom of the screen are 48 colored squares. If you were to click on any of those boxes at this point, the word "electrician" will become highlighted with the chosen color you clicked on.

Additionally, if you were to go back to the list and click on "electrician" again, you'll see that it changes colors once more and each time you click on it, the highlighting will index to the next available color. Click on a few other words in the list as well. You'll see that each word has its own designated color with some easier to see than others.

At the bottom of the window is a slide with the word "Dark" on one side and "Light" on the other. By adjusting the slide you can control the visibility of your highlighted words.

Lighten the text area using the slide, and return to the list once again. Click on "electrician" and then right-click on the same word. Choose the option, "Un-Highlight Selected Word".

Now you'll see that the word is no longer highlighted. And, if you were to click on the button at the top labeled "Reset Text", all highlighting is removed from all the words.

Step 4 - Creating a Keyword List:

Now that you have an understanding of how the highlighting process works, let's generate a keyword list from our list of words. Under the menu "Options", click on "Copy Most Frequent Words to Keyword List" - shortcut = CTRL + M.

In the window that appears, click "OK" without changing any of the values. This will generate a Keyword List containing every word that appears in the text with a frequency of 2 times or more. Click OK when prompted.

You can also add keywords by selecting text and pressing CTRL + T. For example, sometimes words are used together to form a phrase - in this case, there appears within the document the word "electrical" followed by "troubleshooting". My experience tells me that these words should be joined together to form the keyword phrase "electrical troubleshooting".

So, using the mouse while holding down the Shift Key, we'll scroll and highlight the two words together, then press CTRL + T to add the phrase to our Keyword List.

We can now close the Word Frequency Analyzer window to return to the main (start up) window.

Step 5 - Opening Our Resume:

Under "File" select "Open" - shortcut = CTRL + O. Browse to and select "Sample Maintenance Electrician Resume". Take note that it's the Resume and not the Ad that you're opening. After selecting the file, click "OK" to open it.

Now you should see our sample resume in the text area. Note the similarities between the main window and the Word Frequency Analyzer window we just closed. But there are distinct differences in their functions as you'll soon discover.

Step 6 - Importing Our Keywords:

As you'll recall, we created a Keyword List utilizing some of the words from the Ad we previously opened. Now it's time to examine our resume against the list of Keywords we just saved.

Under the menu "Manage" select "Keyword List". The Keyword Manager will now open and display the list of keywords we saved, already highlighted and ready to merge into our project. Click the button "Move Selected into Project". In the right hand side, you'll see our keywords appear - each in a different color. Close the Keyword Manager Window.

Step 7 - Highlighting Keyword Matches:

Now that we've imported our keywords from the ad, let's see how close our resume matches those keywords. At the top of the list, click "Highlight Targeted Keywords". You'll see that each word that was found was highlighted with its own unique color - some easier to see than others, perhaps. Adjust the Background Shading using the slider and note that as you do, certain words become much more noticeable depending on the darkness or lightness of the background. This is by design... because you have the ability to delegate specific colors to specific words, analyzing your document can be done with great clarity. Use the slider to lighten the text area once again.

Step 8 - Analyzing the Data:

In the Keyword List on the right (sorted alphabetically), you'll note that we have some matches (look at the Count and Frequency Columns). Now we need to analyze the list of keywords and determine the importance of unmatched keywords. One keyword that strikes me as an obvious oversight is the exclusion of the word "electrician" in our resume. It's not found and it's probably the most important word that exists. Other words that don't match may not be so important for the job we're seeking - but this one is.

To see clearly all of the unmatched keywords, go to the menu "View" and click "Matching (Non-Matching) Keywords by Count". A window will appear displaying all of the keywords that have no occurrence in our resume. You can examine the list and see if any of the other words should be included as well. This list can be printed for future reference. For now, we'll close the Matching Keywords window and fix our problem.

Step 9 - Editing Our Resume:

In the Targeted Keyword list area (on the right), click the button labeled "Reset Text". This will remove any highlighting we've done and enable us to edit the resume. Any where you wish, add a sentence or two that contains the phrase "electrician". When you're finished, click the button at the top of the page labeled "Update Counts". This will recalculate all of our word counts. After this, re-highlight the Targeted Keywords. Now you'll see that "electrician" has been found and highlighted.

Thus, by examining an employment ad, we were able to see the oversights and adjust our resume accordingly. If this was your own personal resume, you might wish to add additional text to fortify keywords that you know are applicable to your area of expertise. I can't tell you how many times a keyword should appear within a resume, but if it's an important one, probably 2 or 3 times would be a good idea.

Step 10 - Final Analysis:

Now would be a good time to do a Word Frequency Analysis on our resume just as we did for the job ad. Before we do, let's save the resume - shortcut = CTRL + S. Then, at the top of the window, click the button labeled "Copy This Text". Next, open the Word Frequency Analyzer as described in Step 1.

Paste the text by clicking the "Paste Copied Text" button on top. Generate the Word Lists and look carefully at all the words in the lists including their counts. One thing you should avoid when creating a resume is redundancy. It's OK to emphasize your strengths, but when using descriptive terminology, try to avoid repeating the same words over and over. Notice how, in this sample resume, seldom is a powerful adjective used more than twice - Keywords are repeated, but not common literary terms. Grab a thesaurus and choose words with similar meaning to convey your strengths.

And finally, once your resume has been worded exactly as you want, copy the text and paste it into your favorite Word Processor for structuring and formatting. Good Luck!


þAbout Thunder Page: The BasicsÀ
ÀThunder Page is a feature rich text editor that includes provisions for document research. The research capabilities allow you to open or insert text and examine it in two manners:

1. By Keyword Analysis - analyzing the text using pre-selected (targeted) keywords.
2. By Word Frequency - that is, examining the text for the most frequently occurring words.

The software offers a two window approach to accomplish the above tasks. Keyword Analysis is performed within the Editor (default) window - Word Frequency Analysis is provided for within the Word Frequency Analyzer window.

See our Step by Step Tutorial within these Help Topics to get an easy introduction into what you can accomplish with this software.


þAdding and Navigating to Favorite WebsitesÁ
ÁIn the upper left corner of the Editor (default/main) window is a drop-down list box which gives one click access to your favorite websites. For instance, when using this program, you may also be visiting www.monster.com or www.indeed.com quite often. To add a favorite website:

1. Click the menu "Manage" then "Favorites" and then "Websites".
2. Click the button labeled "Add New".
3. Type the URL (ex. http://www.monster.com) into the input box.
4. Click "OK" and once it has been added to the list, rename it in the "Name to DIsplay" category.
5. Click the Save button.

To visit the website in the future, just select it from the list and click on it.

þAdding and Opening Favorite ProgramsÂ
ÂIn the upper left corner of the main window is a drop-down list box which gives one click access to your favorite programs. For instance, when using this program, you may also be using Microsoft Word quite often. To add Word to this list:

1. Click the menu "Manage" then "Favorites" and then "Programs".
2. Browse to the folder that contains Word - usually "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office" - click WinWord and then the button "Add to Favorite Programs".
3. Rename it as desired in the "Name to Display" area and save it.

Once saved, simply click on the program from the drop-down list box to open it.

þAutomatic Completion of Words and PhrasesÃ
ÃOne powerful feature in this application is the ability to automatically complete words and phrases that are contained in the FUT (Frequently Used Terms) Lists.

This subject is a little difficult to explain with words and is a little lengthy. The best lesson is gained by actually experimenting with different lists and actions.

To Define: FUT Lists are lists of words and phrases that one would use often. 2 or more of these FUT lists have been packaged with the software for your use and modification and more will soon become available on our website. You can create as many FUT Lists as you like. More about these lists... how they can be modified and how they can be delegated to specific fields can be found elsewhere in Help.

Auto Completion - How it works: Similar to the auto-complete function utilized by certain search engines, as you begin typing a word, the software compares what's being typed to the words and phrases in the list. If there's a match, that word or phrase will be suggested for completion.

If the suggested word is not the word you had in mind, you have 3 choices:
1. Continue typing through the highlighted area to complete the intended word.
2. Press the Down or Up Arrow key to access the next or previous phrase in the list.
3. Press F3 to toggle through the remaining FUT Lists, one at a time, for a posible match.

If the suggested word is the intended word, you may complete it as follows:

Shift + Space = To complete the word followed by a space.
Insert Key = To complete the word with no trailing space.
Right Arrow Key = To complete the word with no trailing space.
Enter = To complete the word with no trailing space. Hit Enter again to advance to the next field.

You can adjust the Trigger Point (the number of keystrokes pressed before a word is suggested) by:
1. Utilizing the FUT Preferences Menu under Preferences.
2. Pressing ALT and a number 1 to 9 simultaneously.

There are specific ways these lists can be structured and utilized for maximum efficiency, and you'll discover this through trial and error as much of it depends on personal preference.

The Auto Completion function can be turned off and back on again at any time using the Escape (ESC) key.

Pressing the shortcut (F3) advances to the next FUT List.


þBugs (Software Glitches)Ä
ÄAny time that new features are added to software programs, bugs (glitches) can develop.

Most of the bugs are discovered by our testing team and fixed before the software version is made public. However, not all bugs are found before the software is published.

If you find a bug, don't panic... odds are, we've already discovered it and are working on a remedy. Having said that, there may exist some that we are unaware of. If you discover a bug, please let us know via email at service@wadeinstruments.com

Please include details about the bug and your current software name and version.

þCreating a Keyword ListÅ
ÅA Keyword List can be created as follows:

From both the Editor (default/main) window and the Word Frequency Analyzer window:

1. Highlight text within the document by pressing SHIFT while scrolling the mouse (or by using the right arrow key) - and then by selecting "Add Selected Text to Keyword List" under "Options" - Shortcut = F8.

Note: You can also highlight a word by double-clicking on it.

2. Opening the Keyword List Manager and adding the phrase manually... select "Keyword List" under "Manage" - Shortcut = F8

3. Opening the Keyword List Manager and choosing the option "Import Keyword List from Memory" under Options. Naturally, you'll need to have copied a list to memory to use this function.

From the Word Frequency Analyzer window only:

1. Right click on any word in either word list and select "Add to Keyword List"
2. Select "Copy Most Frequent Words to Keyword List" under "Options"


þEditing HelpÆ
ÆYou, the end user, can edit these Help Topics to suit your own personal needs. You can create topics and descriptions, edit them and delete them as required.

A back up copy of Help was packaged with the software and can be opened under "File" by choosing "Open Original Help File".

þExamining The Book of Revelation: Another TutorialÇ
ÇIn this tutorial, we'll discover how Thunder Page can be used as a study guide. You may want to enlarge this screen and print this topic.

One of the included text files is titled, "Revelation MKJV". It is the last book in the Modern King James Version of the New Testament.

A keyword list with the same name has also been compiled for you to study and modify as we take a step by step approach to utilizing Thunder Page in moderate capacity.

Step 1. Opening the File:
From the main window, titled "Thunder Page", open the File Manager - Shortcut = CTRL + O - and browse to  "Revelation MKJV.txt", select it and click OK. This will open the Book of Revelation.

Step 2. Selecting Keywords:
Open the File Manager (to display Keyword Files) - Shortcut = CTRL + K - browse to and open "Revelation MKJV.lst". This will open the keyword file and display all the keywords in the list. Leave all the keywords selected and click the button labeled "Move Selected into Project". Close the Keyword Manager.

Step 3. Highlighting Keywords:
Above the Targeted Keyword List on the right, click the button labeled "Highlight Targeted Keywords". This will highlight every occurrence of each keyword throughout the text, each word in its own unique color. It will also display the number of times each keyword appears and the frequency percentage.

Step 4. Adding Keywords:
Scroll to the beginning of the book and on the line Re 1:8, use your mouse and the Shift key to highlight the phrase "Alpha and the Omega". Add the phrase to the Keyword List through the Shortcut - CTRL + T - or, choose this function under "Options".

Step 5. Re-highlighting the Keywords:
Open the Keyword List Manager by pressing CTRL + L. Click the button once again labeled "Move Selected into Project". Close the Keyword Manager and click "Highlight Targeted Keywords" once again.

Step 6. Changing Keyword Colors:
In the Targeted Keyword List area, click on the keyword "angel" a couple of times. You'll note that the color has changed. Near the bottom of the window, you'll see many colored squares. Click on a color that is lightly shaded so that "angel" becomes somewhat difficult to see.

Step 7. Adjusting the Background Shading:
Below and on the left of the colored squares, you'll see the Background Shanding slider. Using the mouse, adjust the slider (scroll bar) back and forth and note how that "angel" becomes more prevalant with a dark background. Leaving the background dark, use the Page Up and Page Down buttons to observe the effect that different background shadings have on the appearance of your keywords, making some dominant and others less so.

Step 8: Refreshing the Text:
Click the button above the Targeted Keyword List labeled "Reset/Refresh Text". This will reset our background and un-highlight our keywords.

Step 9: Turning Keywords Off:
Click the button "Highlight Targeted Keywords" once again. Scroll to the top of the text to display the beginning of the book. Note the highlighting of "angel". In the Targeted Keyword List area, right click on the keyword "angel". Scroll back to the top of the text, if necessary, and note how that keyword has now been turned off (un-highlighted).

Summary of Steps 1 - 9: Ok... we've seen how a document can be studied using selected (targeted) keywords. Now we'll examine how a document can be researched from a different approach by using word frequency analysis and we accomplish this with the Word Frequency Analyzer.

Step 10. Opening the Word Frequency Analyzer:
Click the button labeled "Open Word Frequency Analyzer" near the top of the main window.

Step 11. Opening Revelation Once Again:
Open the File Manager with the shortcut CTRL + O or by choosing "Open" and "Text Document" under "File". Select "Revelation MKJV.txt" and click OK.

Step 12. Generating Word Lists:
Now that the file has been opened, we'll generate our Word Lists. These 2 Lists contain every word found in the file - less Stop Words, which we'll discuss soonr. One List is sorted alphabetically, the other by actual word count or frequency. Click the button labeled "Generate Word Lists" near the top of the window to populate our Word Lists.

Note: If the following function produces a considerable delay, then your computer's processor speed is probably too slow for such a large file. Click the button "Stop Document Loading" near the bottom of the window and open the Sample Maintenance Electrician Ad file in place of "Revelation MKJV.txt". Try to follow along using substitute words for those suggested.

Step 13. Highlighting Selected Words:
Click on the word "adorned" near the top of the List sorted alphabetically (the one on the left). You'll note that the word has been highlighted in the text. You'll also note that the word appears highlighted in the right hand List as "0004:adorned" and that such indication means that it occurs 4 times within the text. Clicking on a word from either List produces the same highlighting results.

As we've done previously, you can click on the word again to change its color or, select a different color from the bottom of the window. And similarly, we can right click on the word to turn it off.

Step 14. Stop Words:
Stop Words can best be described as the most commonly used words in our language such as "the", "and", "be", etc. and can be managed from under the menu "Manage". From time to time, you'll want to edit this list - depending on a document's content.

In this case, you'll note that at the top of the List on the right (Words Sorted by Count) is the word "re" which appears 403 times throughout the document. We don't need it so let's add that to our Stop Word List.

Open the Stop Word List Manager from under the menu "Manage" - Shortcut = F2. In the text area provided, type "re" (without quotations) and click "Save to List". Close the window and at this point you'll be notified to regenerate the Word Lists. Click the button "Generate Word Lists" once again and note that "re" no longer appears in the Lists.

Note: By default, Stop Words are not included in our Word Lists though they can be included by unchecking "Ignore Stop Words" under "Preferences" and then by regenerating the Word Lists.

Step 15. Finding the Next Occurrence of a Selected Phrase:
If you scroll to the very beginning of the book, you'll see the word "Jesus" appearing in the first verse. If you highlight the word, either by double clicking on it or by using the Shift and Mouse, you can find the next occurrence of "Jesus" by clicking the button "Go to Next Occurrence" near the bottom of the window or by using the shortcut CTRL + G. Repeating this action will continually take you to the next occurrence until you've reached the end of the document.

Step 16. Highlighting the Most Frequent Words:
Under "Preferences", uncheck "Include Partial Word Matches". Next, go to "Options" and select "Highlight Most Frequent Words". In the Text area provided, replace the number 2 with 30 and click OK. This will highlight every word in the document that appears at least 30 times.

Note: At this point, if your processor is too slow, it may appear that nothing's happening. If the delay is too long, click the button "Stop Document Loading".

Concluding: This ends the tutorial. We've touched on a few important features and functions and I hope it helped. I also hope you continue to study Revelation to gain an understanding of what's coming up soon.


þFind (Search) FunctionÈ
ÈAny word or phrase can be searched for using the "Find" option under "Edit" - Shortcut = CTRL + F.

Find highlights every word (phrase) match in the document with the color selected and then returns to the very first word found and selects it as if highlighted with the mouse.

In this manner, if you (as the end user) wish to advance to each subsequent found word incrementally, you can do so by pressing CTRL + G or by selecting "Go to Next Occurrence of Highlighted Phrase" under "Edit".

By default, Found Words are Highlighted in Red, but you can change the Highlight Color by picking a color from the selection available.

þFUT (Frequently Used Terms) Lists and the FUT ManagerÉ
ÉThe Frequently Used Terms are a list of words and/or phrases that you create that allow for automatic completion of the term you wish with just a couple keystrokes.

New words and phrases can be added to the list in two manners:
1. By clicking the button "Add New Term to List" and entering the phrase.
2. By highlighting a word or phrase in the editor window and selecting that option under "Options" (Shortcut = CTRL+T).

The FUT Manager is accessible by pressing the button "Manage FUT Lists" at the bottom of the FUT List. You can use the FUT Manager to create new lists, edit lists and delete lists. You can also set the Default FUT List (the list that appears at start up).

þGenerating Word ListsÊ
ÊWord Lists can be generated from the Word Frequency Analyzer only.

When this option is selected - either by clicking the button labeled "Generate Word Lists" or by selecting "Generate Word Lists" under "Options" (Shortcut = CTRL + W) - 2 lists of words are generated and displayed on the right.

Both lists contain every word that appears in the document - except Stop Words, if that option is chosen.

One list is sorted alphabeticallly and the other is sorted by frequency or word count (with the greatest occurrence appearing topmost).

Once the Word Lists have been generated, you can click on any word to have it highlighted in the document. Each word has its own unique color assigned to it. The color can be changed by clicking on the word in the list again, or by clicking a colored square near the bottom of the window.

þHandling Large DocumentsË
ËDepending on your processor speed, larger documents (i.e., > 200k) might take up to several seconds to parse during highlighting.

To resolve this matter, you may wish to "slice" the file up into smaller sections that can be managed more quickly.

Loading a large document doesn't seem to be an issue, but rather when it is processed for search and highlight. We are constantly working on different algorithms and we hope to have the speed issue resolved soon.

þHelp Made EasyÌ
ÌThere's a simpler way to find what you need in the Help Topics:

1. Open the Word Frequency Analyzer
2. Press CTRL + O to open the File Manager
3. Browse to and open Help_Topics.wtx
4. Generate the Word Lists
5. Click on the word in the list you have a question about
6. Adjust the Background Shading as required

If you can't find the word you're looking for in the list, the topic has not yet been created.

þHighlighting and Un-highlighting Words and KeywordsÍ
ÍIn the main window - the one that appears at start-up titled "Thunder Page", highlighting is accomplished by - and assuming you have keywords loaded in your Targeted Keyword List:

1. Clicking the button labeled "Highlight Targeted Keywords"
2. Clicking on a Keyword in the list.
3. Performing a search using "Find" under "Edit" - shortcut = CTRL + F

Un-highlighting keywords is accomplished by:

1. Right Clicking on a keyword
2. Resetting/Refreshing the Text - shortcut = CTRL + R

In the Word Frequency Analyzer window, highlighting words is accomplished by:

1. Clicking on a word in either Word List
2. Selecting "Highlight Most Frequent Words" under "Options"

Un-highlighting is achieved by:

1. Right Clicking on a word in either Word List
2. Selecting "Reset/Refresh Text" under "Edit"

þManaging KeywordsÎ
ÎThe Keyword Manager can be opened from under the menu "Manage" or by using the shortcut CTRL + L.

From here, you can add, edit, delete, select and de-select those keywords you wish to use in your project.

To add keywords to your project, select each keyword by clicking on them and then choose the option "Replace List" or "Add to List" - meaning the selected keywords will merge with those keywords already in the Targeted Keyword List.

After choosing the option, click on "Move Selected into Project" and then close the window.

If you already have a list of keywords you'd like to import into the project, open your keyword list and copy the list to memory. After copying the list, select the option "Import Keywords from Memory" under "Options" and then select the style of list and click "OK - Inport List".

þMatching and Non-Matching KeywordsÏ
ÏAfter examining a document for targeted keywords, you might want to view a list of all those that match and those that do not.

In the main window and under the menu "View" click "Matching (Non-Matching) Keywords by Count".

By default, the list displays all non-matching keywords. You can change the matching criteria to suit and optionally, copy the list to memory or print the list.

þOpening FilesÐ
ÐThe following file types can be opened from the main window of Thunder Page:

Keyword List Files: Extension = .lst (Shortcut = CTRL + K)
Text Files: Extension = .txt (Shortcut = CTRL + O)
HTML Files: Extension = .htm, .html, .xml (Shortcut = CTRL + H)

Of the latter, HTML elements are stripped from the document before displaying. If you wish to view the HTML elements as well, change the file extension to .txt and re-open it.

The following file types can be opened from the Word Frequency Analyzer window:

Text Files: Extension = .txt, .rtf (Shortcut = CTRL + O) 
Keyword List Files: Extension = .lst (Shortcut = CTRL + K)


þPrinting - Views and PreferencesÑ
ÑPrinter Preferences can be established from the Main (Editor) Window under the menu "Preferences".

From the Printer Preferences, you can set the default printer and the margins for the page.

In both the Editor and Word Frequency Analysis window, a printer view can be set under the menu "View". While this is not a true WYSIWYG display, the printed page will be close to what's displayed in the window.

þRegistering the SoftwareÒ
ÒAt any time, the software can be removed from the trial mode by entering the unlock key code. That key code is issued by the software manufacturer (Wade Instruments and Service) upon receipt of the registration key code (under "Help" and "Apply for Registration") and payment.

After the trial period has expired, you can still apply for registration from the start up window.

þRich Text FormattingÓ
ÓRich Text Formatting is provided for in the Editor (default) window. From within the editor, you can add color to your text, change the fonts, and add effects such as bold, italic and underscoring. You can also establish alignment methods (left, center and right aligned text). These tools are available near the bottom of the window.

For example, to change the color of any text, simply highlight the desired area using the mouse and click on any of the colored squares provided. The same method is used for the other effects as well, such as bold, font size, etc.

þSearch and Highlight PreferencesÔ
ÔAll searches and keyword highlighting can include partial or whole words. All searching and highlighing is case insensitive meaning it matters not whether the word is capitalized or not.

To find and highlight whole words only, uncheck "Include Partial Word Matches" under "Search Preferences" or "Keyword Highlight Preferences" under the main menu "Preferences".

This option is not available in the Word Frequency Analyzer.

þSoftware UpdatesÖ
ÖUnder the menu "Help" is "Search for Program Updates". Selecting this option enables you to navigate to our website and determine if you have the latest update. If a newer version is available, you may be able to download it and upgrade - depending on your current software version.

In addition, the page provides a link with information on how to upgrade the software and a link for the WIS Upgrade Manager Setup program, a utility to ease the process of upgrading. You can download and install this free utility from this link - http://www.wadeinstruments.com/downloads/WIS_Upgrade_Manager_Setup.exe


þSpell Check and Thesaurus×
×Spell Check and Thesaurus require access to Microsoft Word. If Word is not installed, neither function will work.

þStop WordsØ
ØStop Words can be described as nothing more than commonly used words such as "the", "and", "or", "are", etc. that become unnecessary to track in a keyword analysis application such as this.

The Stop Word List is editable by the end user from the menu "Stop Word List" under "Manage" in the Word Frequency Analyzer and their use applies only to the Word Frequency Analyzer.

By default, Stop Words are ignored when generating word lists in the Word Frequency Analyzer - though it is user selectable with the stop words able to be included in the analysis.

þTurning Keywords On and OffÙ
ÙTargeted Keywords are on by default - that meaning that they're assigned a color - and will highlight each found phrase with that specific color.

You can turn keywords off by right-clicking on them. Click on them again to turn them back on again.

The same technique applies to the Generated Words in the Word Frequency Analyzer.

þUpdating CountsÚ
ÚAs you edit text in Thunder Page, you may want to update the character and word counts. This can be accomplished by pressing the button labeled "Update Counts" near the top of the window.

þWord Counts for Selected WordsÛ
ÛIn the Word Frequency Analyzer, the word count for any word can be accessed by highlighting the word and then clicking on it. The word lists on the right be automatically scroll to the selected word displaying its count.
