Gen Forms for new Word Processors
Now a day we use different software
as we need to create a various types of Id cards and labels and other
professional forms which required special type of computer knowledge and
experts to create those forms an the other hand those are time consuming and
very expensive to create at the same time if we want to create a form with variable
texts , colours, photos we need to work hard for every time. For example,
1) If
we have to make ID cards of 100 students, we have to enter all the details for
all 100 students and to import 100 photos of the students and separately need
to crop them.
2) If
we need to create greeting cards to 15 of our friends with special memories
individual to them then we have to make all the 15 cards separately with
cropping and placing photos of them and different texts to them.
3) If
we want to make appreciation letters to 100 employees with their photos of
their achievements or in victory.
These are the some
of many situations where our current system does not shows the its efficiency
due to lac of design in our software, because out current software is just an so called upgrade with its looks
not with new ideas of innovation.
In this age we need to change our
thinking to develop software to make more time saver and user friendly at the same time much easier to give a boost
to our concepts and ideas to express.
So I am proposing a new design to
defeat those decade old process and design.
Features may be inserted :-
·
Any form should have 02 different portions, one
is editable another is fixed. The fixed portion shall work as its
structure and not modifiable once it is
created as a form, the editable portion can be edited later.
·
New draw table or pallet which must contain different
types of text boxes ie:- the text boxes may have any shape and it shall be
variable regarding availability to space on a single page or in a give size on
part of a page.
·
Photo holder / frame should be there and it need
to be capable to automatically crop or
resize any size photo to its given size to fit the form.
·
These forms should have two portion one portion
will be prefixed or can be fixed during creating those forms and other part
will editable where required data can be filled with importing data from
database or by typing.
·
The prefixed portion cannon be modified or
changed it will work like a frame which cannot be altered. This fame can be
created once. And the editable portion can be modifiable.
·
Data either text or photo on editable portion
can be entered manually or can be auto filled from an external data base by
tagging each data field to one or multiple editable portion of a form.
·
In all cases the page or the form size will be
fixed with page setup.
These are some
of new feature may be introduce in today’s so called word processors to make
them more useful.
