Papyrus OFFICE incorporates a powerful word-processor with integrated spreadsheet capabilities, and a relational database including an intuitive user interface for instantaneous searches. You can even use Papyrus from a USB memory stick. This means that you can take your Papyrus (and your data) with you - remove the memory stick, and leave the system 'untouched'.

Here are some key features of "Papyrus":
Papyrus OFFICE offers integrated word-processing (Papyrus WORD) with a powerful database (Papyrus BASE). Database forms and generated reports are Papyrus WORD documents, and can be re-formatted with ease.
Similarly, form letters can be generated by combining a Papyrus WORD document with a Papyrus BASE database. This technique also permits automated literature indices for bibliographies.
Concise and efficient coding leaves Papyrus plenty of resources to manage huge documents (with thousands of pages!) and equally large numbers of embedded graphics, without requiring an over-dimensioned system.
Discontinuous text marks: with Papyrus, you can mark multiple (separate) regions in your document. With this feature, you can make parallel changes to separate regions all at once. You can even use "drag & drop" with discontinuous blocks.
Our full-text database search engine provides immediate results to a query, narrowing the answer with each change to the expression (even as you type each letter).
The "phonetic search" option gives you the ability to find names or other text in a database, even if you aren't sure of the correct spelling.
Non-modal dialogs: unlike most programs, Papyrus dialogs are "non-modal", meaning that the dialog does not need to be "closed" before you return to your text. Feel free to leave a frequently-used dialog open and ready for use while you continue to type. This also makes it possible to switch back and forth between dialogs when changing formatting or settings.
Papyrus BASE uses a reliable and robust XML-format to store data, allowing multiple (networked) users to operate on (and change) a single database all at the same time.
Papyrus OFFICE is a self-contained executable, permitting it to run even from (fast) removable media (such as USB-memory sticks).

Limitations:
Printing is limited to single page documents.
When printing, the Papyrus Demo will occasionally exchange letters of equivalent width (for example, "c"&"e" or "b"&"d").
Due to space limitations and licensing restrictions, the full-sized dictionaries used by our innovative and often-imitated "IntelliView" spell-checker are not available in the demo version.
Spoken dictation using IBM ViaVoice with Papyrus is limited to 50 words at a time.
It should go without saying that Papyrus does not install anything in any System.INI-File or pull any similar "dirty tricks" with the registry, you may use "un-install" (or the Windows Control Panel, or "PAP_INST.EXE" in OS/2) to completely remove the entire program at any time.
To be fair, you should not use the demo version excessively (not longer than four weeks). After that, please purchase the full version.
The demo version comes complete with the on-line help system, permitting you to learn about and test all portions of the software.
Further distribution of the Papyrus Demo Versions offered here is expressly allowed and requested (although in unaltered form only, please!), this includes CDs, Bulletin-Boards (BBS), and internet link-addresses (URLs), as long as the distribution charge is not more than $1 (one US-Dollar) or 1? (one Euro).

What's New:
Among over 30 powerful new features, Papyrus version 12 offers a built-in, comprehensive PDF-export function (with the unique ability to edit PDF-files created by Papyrus), and a multiple-step (now unlimited) "undo" function.
