This is where you will spend most of your time. In study mode, you can go as quickly
as you want through your cards, in whatever order you like (including randomly,
or only the back side, or only the front sides, or random side first ...). You can
zoom in and out, taking advantage of the size of your monitor. You can also hide
cards. (Why? Well, maybe you downloaded our basic math deck, but all you want your
child to study is adding from 1 to 5; hide the extra cards, then add them back when
she is ready for more.)
-
Choose which side of the card will be displayed first.
-
Zoom in to make the card larger, or zoom out to bring it back to its original size.
-
Sort the cards in the order that you added them, or shuffle the deck so that the
cards are displayed randomly.
-
If you want to temporarily not see a card, but don't want to delete it from the
deck (maybe you already know what is on that card, for instance), then you can hide
it. After you have hidden cards, you can make them visible again by restoring them.
-
In edit mode you can add, change, or delete cards. You can choose whether the current
card is in text mode (giving you access to bullets and numbering and text formatting)
or graphics mode (giving you access to drawing and editing tools).
Cards come in two flavors: Text and Graphic.
-
Text gives you control of font formatting, bullets and numbering, and other text-related
options.
-
Choose the font style (Arial, Times New Roman, Script, etc.) you like, and all the
font options you would want (size, bold, italic, strikethrough, underline, sub-
and superscript, etc.)
-
Align text horizontally and/or vertically.
-
Add tables (you know, columns and rows in a rectangle). You choose the number of
columns and rows.
-
Bullets
Put things in a list (like this one). The list can have bullets or numbers in several
styles, and can have as many levels of indentation as you would like.
-
You can add images to your text-formatted sides, and your text will automatically
wrap around them.
-
Graphic gives you image loading and sizing, simple drawing and graphic editing capabilities,
and numbered markers.
-
Load Image
Load images in whatever way you like.
- Auto-fit
This makes your image fit to the size of the card (the image will stretch or shrink
as needed).
- Top Left
This keeps the size of the original image and puts the top left corner of the image
in the top left corner of the card.
- Center
This keeps the size of the original image, and puts the center of the image in the
center of the card.
-
You can do simple drawing and painting.
- Lines
- Freehand
You can draw freehand, meaning that however your mouse moves, the line you are drawing
moves.
- Straight Line
You can also draw using only straight lines, if that is your preference.
- Change Brush
You can change the size of the lines/shapes and the colors used in drawing them.
- Shapes
- Box
You can make a rectangle, and it will be outlined with one color and (optionally)
filled with another.
- Circle
You can make a circle, and it will be outlined in one color and (optionally) filled
with another, just like the Box.
- Fill
You can fill an area surrounded by one color with a color of your choice.
- Selection
You can select a rectangular section.
-
You can indicate different places on your card with numbered markers. You can place
those markers anywhere on the card, and choose different colors for the markers
(giving you an extra layer of grouping).
-
- Two-sided printing - You can use true "duplex" printing if your printer supports
it, or you can print all the fronts, then flip the paper over, and print all the
backs.
- Side-to-side printing - You can print the cards on the same side of the paper, which
allows you to either cut them out and glue them onto something else (to create a
more permanent set of flashcards, for instance), or to fold the paper to create
regular flashcards.
- Single 3x5 card printing - If your printer supports it, you can print directly to
3x5 index cards.
-
If you have two decks that you would like to put together (maybe you have an addition
deck and a subtraction deck, and you want a basic math deck, for instance), you
can merge them into one deck.
-
You can choose the "Default" theme (the gray color that most programs have), use
the current Windows theme, or pick from any of the available themes on your computer.
-
Maybe you are studying a book that has different chapters or sections ... or a country
with different regions ... or an organism with different systems ... or an organization
chart with different groups .... Whatever you are studying, you might find it useful
to change the background color to add a grouping layer to your flashcards.

for many different areas. These are decks that we at LuminareSoft thought our customers

of how you can use the different features of studyPerfect).
