LisaWrite is one of the most advanced word processors available for personal
computers. With no complex commands to learn, you can easily create, revise,
and print documents of any size.
Because LisaWrite lets you integrate LisaCalc models, LisaTerminal information,
or other LisaWrite documents into your written document, you can compose reports
and proposals quickly and efficiently.
In less than 30 minutes you’ll be doing useful work with LisaWrite.
Lisa’s revolutionary Graphics Mouse Technology™ replaces confusing
computer commands with simple graphic images. Graphics, together with the mouse,
a simple selecting device, let you create, revise, and print documents
intuitively. And because basic operations work the same way in all Lisa™
applications, you’ll learn other applications in even less time.
LisaWrite combines advanced word processing technology with the power and
flexibility of Lisa to help you prepare documents more quickly, more
efficiently, and more easily. The result: better communication – both with
your clients and within your organization.
Just about any format and length you need.

mouse to create a blank document, then begin typing.
|
| | | Create formatted stationery customized to your needs – one for each type
of document you write (such as memos, form letters, and reports).
|
| | | Produce documents up to hundreds of pages long (depending on your disk storage
capacity).

|  |
Faster editing, fewer revisions – on other people’s documents or your own.
| | | Powerful editing functions like cut, paste, and copy can be used on anything
from a single character to an entire document.

other Lisa applications.
|

and replace capability.

|
| |
LisaCalc analyses can be included for more complete reports.
| | | Move a LisaCalc table into a LisaWrite document without ever touching the keyboard.

|
| | | Move a tab stop by “pulling” it to the new location with the mouse.
|
| |
One printout is all you need.
| | | What you see on the screen – including typestyles – is what
you get on paper, so you know how your final document will look before
you print it.
|
| | | Apple’s high-resolution Dot Matrix and Daisy Wheel Printers both produce
quality text suitable for reports and presentations.
|

The six LisaWrite menu functions appear across the top of the screen,
above the name of the file you’re editing The text appears below – in
exactly the same form that it will appear on paper.
Menu Bar All LisaWrite functions are selected from the menu
bar. To print a document, for example, just move the mouse and select
PRINT from the menu. Once printing is under way, you may continue working
with Lisa either in the same document, or in another application.
Mouse/Pointer The mouse is a palm-size device that
controls Lisa’s pointer. It replaces all confusing special
function keys and commands. The mouse is connected to Lisa by a thin
cable. When you move the mouse, Lisa’s pointer matches
the movement on the screen.
Desktop Manager The Desktop Manager uses graphic
symbols such as these to coordinate all the system’s
operations. For example, to work on a document, simply use
the mouse to select an existing document or create a new one.
When you’re finished, use the mouse to put the document
into a folder. The Desktop Manager also enables you to work
with more than one document at a time.
LisaCalc More than one Lisa document may be on the
screen at one time. To move information from LisaCalc (or
LisaTerminal) to LisaWrite, for example, simply use the mouse
to select COPY from the EDIT menu. When you’re ready to
transfer the information into another document, select PASTE
and your data is transferred – you don’t even have
to touch the keyboard.
Scrolling To view another part of your
LisaWrite document, simply use the mouse to select the
arrows or pages in the corners of the document. Similarly, to
stretch or contract the document, use the mouse to move the
box at the bottom right-hand corner.
Typestyle Menu This menu offers you a
variety of typestyles, including proportional spacing. Each
is available in bold, italic, underlined, and any
combination thereof.
Customize LisaCalc Tables for Inclusion in Reports
| | | Use the horizontal ruler to adjust the placement of columns and to
reset the margins. (You can have rulers marked in inches or centimeters.)
|
| | | Bold, italic, and underlined text can be used to emphasize important data.
|
| |
Many Different Typestyles to Choose From
| | | A variety of typestyles is available, including large presentation-style
sizes and proportionally spaced styles.

of one or more of these choices. (Bold, italic, and underlined styles are
useful for emphasizing various parts of your document.)
|
| | | Subscripts and superscripts are easily included.
|
| |
More Versatile and Powerful Than a Typewriter
| | | To set line spacing, just select from the appropriate menu. You can
choose single, line and a half, double, or triple spacing.
|
| | | Because it’s so easy to change the line spacing, you can experiment with
your text until you get the look you want. You can also squeeze it – or
expand it – to fit on a given number of pages.
|
| | | The spacing between paragraphs can be set independently of the spacing between lines.
|
| | | Headers and footers – with or without page numbers – are easy
to specify. Once you request them, they’re automatically inserted on every page.
|
| |
Tabs and Margins Are Easy to Set
| | | To set margins and tabs, select the horizontal ruler, then use the
mouse to insert them where you want them. There’s no guessing, or counting.
|
| | | There’s also a vertical ruler for precise positioning of headers,
footers, and titles, and for adjusting the top and bottom margins.
|
| | | Once your document looks the way you want it on the screen, simply select the PRINT
function to get an identical version on paper.
|
| |
What You See is What You Get
| | | Margins, line justification, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks,
page numbers, headers, footers, bold, italic, and underlined text all
appear on the screen just as they do on paper.
|
| |
Justify Text Any Way You Want
| | | You can justify margins (left, right, or left and right) or center lines.
|
| | | You can try different justifications and centering with the same piece
of text to see how it looks best. Just select what you want and LisaWrite
automatically centers or rejustifies the text for you.

Because LisaCalc tables can be made part of word processing
documents, you can reformat them using all of LisaWrite’s features.
LisaWrite gives you the typestyle options you need to make communications
clear and dramatic.
For the Typeset look... LisaWrite gives you a variety of typestyles to add emphasis to your reports, memos,
and other documents. It supports proportional spaced styles for a more professional
appearance. Large type styles (1/4 inch and 1/3 inch tall) are useful for section
headings and presentation slides. A small 15 pitch size can be used to fit
132 columns of information on a regular sized piece of paper. Bold, italics,
and underlining add emphasis as required.
With the horizontal ruler, just point to where want your tabs and
margins, and they’re automatically inserted.
