Create, Save and Email a Reading
using the Reading Wizard

The Orphalese Reading Wizard provides the required tools to quickly and efficiently create or edit Reading Notes.

Based on a customisable template, the Reading Notes can include an introduction, Card and Spread Position Notes, a summary, and a graphic/image denoting the Card's physical position within the Spread. While the Card and Spread Notes can automatically be generated from the information contained within the Deck and Spread XML files, there is also an option to manually edit/add/remove any text.

To create a Reading:

1. Create a Reading by manually dealing the Cards (to create a Spread on-the-fly) or selecting a Spread from the My Spreads list.
   
   
2. Once the Spread is laid out on the Desktop, open the Reading Wizard.

To open the Orphalese Reading Wizard:

1. Press the F3 function key; or
   
   From the Orphalese Desktop, click on the grid to display the Orphalese Menu, then click My Readings >> Create New Reading.

The Reading Wizard will be displayed:
