The Essential SmartSuite Companion

New Ventana title covers the basics in SmartSuite 3.0 for Windows

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., October 31, 1994 -- New from Ventana Press, SmartSuite
Desktop Companion introduces Lotus Development Corp.'s SmartSuite, Release
3.0 for Windows in a clear, concise overview. This five-part book covers
all of the basics to each program in the suite and is the comprehensive
tutorial reference for new SmartSuite users.

Written in a light-hearted style designed to motivate the beginner,
SmartSuite Desktop Companion encourages hands-on experimentation with the
enclosed Companion Disk, which contains all of the files that appear as
examples in the book. While each of five sections thoroughly covers a
separate application in the suite, the authors continually stress the
cooperative capabilities of SmartSuite's components and the integration of
data and documents. Readers will learn to:

* Get to work quickly with basic commands, menus, icons and techniques
  for each of SmartSuite's applications.
* Work smarter with SmartIcons, menu bars, status bars and other tools
  common to each program.
* Save time and effort by sharing data between programs, borrowing
  tools and using OLE.
* Import data from Approach into Ami Pro documents, create a Freelance
  Graphics presentation using figures from 1-2-3 spreadsheets, embed
  an automatically updated Approach table into an Ami Pro report, and
  otherwise simplify work with integrated computing.
