Abstract

Summary: This user-friendly graphics system produces computerized slide shows (not in color) or transparency masters (color or monochrome). An "Express Editor" allows easy creation of twelve different types of masters while a "Custom Editor" allows design of almost any layout. The former can be learned in an hour and the latter in about 4 hours. Social scientists could use this package for course transparencies, "Open House"-type computer slide shows, or for producing survey questionnaires and other forms.
