Publisher's Synopsis
Patrick Burns, Jan Weingarten and Robert Bixby have revised and updated Ventana's reference and guidebook to the most comprehensive of all the Windows 95 software "suites".

The "SmartSuite Desktop Companion, Second Edition" and disk offer a concise yet thorough overview of each programme and show users how to install and configure each application to take full advantage of SmartSuite's two-way integration features.;Lotus leads the suites in its application integration: menus, icons and status bar structures are almost identical; users can simultaneously open multiple applications and have one-click access to fonts, sizes and styles in each; data and object exchange is seamless between all applications. The authors have added numerous practical examples to highlight the advantage of Windows 95's improvements and opportunities for sharing information between applications and 32-bit capabilities.;"SmartSuite Desktop Companion, Second Edition" contains thorough information on basic commands and features, instructions for performing various tasks and tutorials, as well as helpful exercises. Users learn how to access, share, track and manage business data as well as route, revise and store information concurrently with multiple users working in collaboration.
