There are two main ways of using FX Graph – as a standalone program, or as an object from within a word-processor or other "object aware" program.
Standalone Mode
If you accept FX Graph default installation, you can run it as a standalone program by finding FX Graph in the Program Files section of the Start menu. This is often the best way of using FX Graph, especially with students.
Document Object Mode
FX Graph is designed to be inserted as an object into a document. You can insert an FX Graph object into a document by either pushing the FX Graph toolbar button (see the section on using FX Graph in Word) or load your favourite Windows word processor and choose Insert / Object from the menus. You will be given a list of available objects and FX Graph 3 Graph will be on the list. Select it and FX Graph will start. You use it the same way you use FX Graph as a standalone program. The only real difference is how you return to Word.
The green tick will return your image to Word showing all changes you have made. The red cross returns to Word without any changes being updated.
When you have finished your image, just "Click the Tick" and your diagram will be inserted into your word document.
