   Side Bars are litle blocks of text that are a "side" from the main
body of the text          _______________________________
                          |    This is a sidebar to     |
                          | demonstrate the concept of  |
                          | a sidebar                   |

    FullWrite does a much better job, but you might get the idea.  It is
a block of text, or graphics, or both, that can be placed in a varity of
formats aside from the main body of the text.  You can have the text then
"wrap" around the sidebar either followin the contours of the text/graphic
or wraping around the square that encloseing the sidebar.  A neat feature is
that side bars a mini-documents and follow their own formatting rules, and
you can have sidebar's inside of sidebars, and so on, and so on.
     Very powerful concept, anyone who hasn't seen them can't realize how
much you can do with them. But after you've used them you'll never go back.

    Hope this helps.
