The Browser provides access to:

Word Banks - These are editable groups of words or phrases.

 Sentences - These are the scripts that control  which word banks, text items or Sentences get  used to generate the text output

 Text items - These are fixed items which add  the text they contain to the generated output.

 Punctuation items - These are just Text items  with punctuation in them.

 Control items - These perform certain functions on the generated text such as pluralising words or adding a linefeed.

Word Banks These contain the 'raw material' or Wordz. They can be created, copied and deleted. Each entry in a Word Bank can contain anything from a single character to phrases or even whole paragraphs.

Word Banks can also be imported and exported as text files and there are special tools for processing the contents of them.

Sentences are the scripts Wordz uses to select text from Word Banks, other Sentences, or Text and Punctuation items which are then stuck together to form the generated output. You can create, copy, edit and delete Sentences. The items arranged on the Sentence window can be moved around, edited, duplicated or removed. They must also be connected to one another for the Sentence to work. The connection path controls the order of output, from the Start item to the end of a branch.

Resizable Output Window This window shows the output as it is generated. It has playback controls on it's menu bar to start and stop output or cycle forward and backwards through the history of output in the current Wordz session (which begins when the program is started).

Lexiraptor This is a tool for extracting text from a text document and adding it to either Word Banks or Sentences.

Console - This is a multi-purpose window which can be used to print out generated text, view error messages or view the 'raw sentence code' which can be useful when tracing problems with sentence structure.
