OfficeVision for AS/400 has an “unopened mail” indicator, which displays on the main
menu when a user has opened their in-basket but has not handled all the new mail.
• Full-function word processing
The word processing functions of OfficeVision address the needs of users whether they
require simple or advanced editing capabilities on the AS/400 system. The editor is
available to enrolled users on both non-programmable AS/400 displays and IBM PCs.
Data from files and queries can be included in documents to automatically produce mass
mailings, multiple copy documents with unique information in each copy, or multiple line
reports.
Graphics, images, and PC files also can be embedded in documents.
• Proofreading aids
Language dictionaries are provided in 23 languages, including medical and legal. A
document can be checked against up to eight dictionaries in one pass, plus user-created
and system supplemental dictionaries. These dictionaries are ordered as 5716-DCT or
5769-DL1 and are optionally installable.
Language dictionaries offer:
– Spelling verification
– Spell aid and correction assistance
– Automatic hyphenation
– Synonym aid (certain languages only)
Support for the Russian language is provided through the use of the enhanced IBM
linguistics engine, which has been added to OS/400. As new dictionaries are released for
the linguistics engine, OfficeVision for AS/400 can use them with minimal impact.

The Client Access Family licensed program provides enhanced word processing support
through the Text Assist and Organizer functions. Documents can be prepared using the
most appropriate editor. This can be the OfficeVision for AS/400 editor, DW4/DW5, or any
non-IBM editor (PC-based).
Users can run multiple editor sessions concurrently.
