Getting Started With OpenDoc

What is OpenDoc?

OpenDoc is a new software technology for the Mac OS that lets you add
software components called parts to your documents. When you drag a part

into a document, also called a container part, the part’s functionality is added
to the document. For example, the document b elow contains a variety
of par ts.

Graphics part

This text is content in
the container part.

Internet part

You can add parts to documents created by OpenDoc-aware application
programs, or you can create documents entirely out of parts.

Parts are currently available from some software developers. A few sample
parts have been included on your computer’s hard disk.
