Ventana Updates Mac Beginner's Companion

3-in-1 guide gives Mac users the most for their money

Chapel Hill, NC; October 1, 1994 Nothing sets a new computer user at ease
better than a computer book that is fun to read. In captivating prose that
will charm even the most hardened technophobe, Mac, Word & Excel Desktop
Companion, Second Edition, will have readers navigating Apple's System 7.5
and Macintosh's Word for Mac 6.0 and Excel 5.0 before they know it.

Newly released from Ventana Press, this convenient 3-in-1 guide features
separate sections for each program. Step-by-step tutorials and an
abundance of screen shots lead users easily along the learning path from
the very beginning of their new Mac experience. Mac master Tom Lichty's
enthusiasm for the platform, reflected in provocative asides and
illuminating Apple anecdotes, inspires readers to try out his tips on:

* Sounding out System 7.5--organizing and accessing files with Finder;
editing and printing with drag-and-drop; getting help with AppleGuide.

* Working wizardry with Word 6.0--formatting without fret, painless
proofing and easy editing; customizing the workspace; working with
Wizards.

* Excelling with Excel 5.0 entering labels, values and formulas; avoiding
errors and extra effort with Range, Reference and Fill; using Wizards to
create graphs.

* Putting it all together--cutting, copying and pasting between Word and
Excel; linking applications and data with OLE; managing mailings with
databases and mail merge.

A companion disk bundled with the book features the exercises and sample
files that allow the Mac beginner to work with the examples in the book.
