Using either Microsoft® Word or a utility program provided with the HAZOP Manager software, the persons concerned would type rather than write their responses, and then automatically generate a Response File.  This latter file would be returned to the Study Secretary, once again either by e-mail or on diskette. </LI> </UL> <P> </P> <P><IMG SRC="images/prev.gif" ALT="Previous page button" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0" WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="25" USEMAP="#map1"><MAP NAME="map1"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="0,0,24,28" HREF="ovrvw1.htm" ALT="Previous Page button" TARGET="_top"> </MAP>  <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="ovrvw1.htm" TARGET="_top">Previous page</A></FONT>    <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="ovrvw3.htm" TARGET="_top">Next page</A></FONT>  <IMG SRC="images/next.gif" ALT="Next page button" BORDER="0" WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="25" ALIGN="MIDDLE" USEMAP="#map2"><MAP NAME="map2"> <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="0,0,24,27" HREF="ovrvw3.htm" ALT="Next Page button" TARGET="_top"> </MAP> </P> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE="-1"><FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="index.html" TARGET="_top">Home</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="history.htm" TARGET="_top">Development history</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="featurs1.htm" TARGET="_top">Features & facilities</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="demo.htm" TARGET="_top">Demonstration program</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="update.htm" TARGET="_top">Program maintenance updates</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="hazop.htm" TARGET="_top">Hazop Study methodology</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="contact.htm" TARGET="_top">Contact information</A></FONT> | <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><A HREF="sitemap.htm" TARGET="_top">Site map</A> </FONT></FONT></P> </BODY>
