Synopsis

“A user-friendly handbook” is a guide to six applications of Lisa system (excluding LisaTerminal). After a short introduction of Lisa and its Desk Top Manager, the book proceeds with many exercises for people starting their adventures with GUIs. Without a real Lisa (or its emulator), the book loses much of its appeal, even though an extensive collection of screenshots might be worth a closer look. Get your executive computing skills into shape with this one-of-a-kind project guide that lets you experiment with what the Apple Lisa can really do! Whether you want to calculate a mortgage with different rates and durations, plot a graph for a business report, or prepare a multi-page document, this outstanding, illustrated handbook is ready to show you how! It’s a collection of “real world” situations that enable you to match your needs to Lisa’s capabilities in a highly effective manner. You’ll find out how to take advantage of LisaProject, LisaDraw, LisaWrite, LisaCalc, LisaList, and LisaGraph... you can work your way straight through or skip around to those chapters that are most useful for you. Designed to show you new approaches and the best way to get the job done, this user-friendly handbook is the ideal way to master this revolutionary micro. And, to make this unique manual useful for experienced programmers, the exercises in each section are arranged so that they increase in difficulty and sophistication as you progress. You’ll learn how to prepare a simple document or a document with multiple formats and tab stops, change type styles, sort and analyze information, interpret data, and much more. From the Lisa “basics” to managing and scheduling projects, this complete guide shows you how to do it all! Joseph Coleman has written and designed many leading educational and technical publications.
