About this title

Review

Lotus Word Pro is a large and full-featured word processor that can prove to be a real handful for the beginner. This Easy Steps book eases the learning curve, taking the reader from the basics of text input through to more complex issues of revision tracking and text style management. Step by step the reader is gently guided through the package with clear, well-labelled pictures and handy tips and points scattered throughout.

Each chapter is prefaced with an overview of material to be covered and the clear layout makes it easy to find the area you need. The tutorials are uncomplicated and cover all the important information needed to get the most out of your word processor, therefore spending less time learning and more time writing.

A final chapter covers the use of IBM ViaVoice with Wordpro, stepping through the process of setting up and using the dictation software to offer a hands-free method of inputting and formatting text.

Overall, this is a clear and easy-to-read guide that should ease the beginner into the package and ensure a more productive use of their PC's power. --Andrew Russell
