Using FirstClass documents and presentations



About documents
Document's don't expire by default, and can be updated after they are created. This makes them useful for posting information on a permanent basis (for example, information about the purpose of a conference).
FirstClass includes a standard document form, plus special forms that you can use to create documents. The default icon associated with a document reflects the form used to create the document.
As for messages, you can add a background picture and formatted content to a document, check the history to see whether it has been read, or make it stationery.



The Documents folder
The Documents folder on your Desktop is a place for you to store documents for your personal use. You can create and store all your documents here, create them here and move them elsewhere, or create them directly in other containers.
As is the case for other containers, you can create subcontainers to organize your documents.
