Then use SmartSuite 97's powerful Team Computing features to share documents and complete joint projects online. You can jump from one task to the next -- and from the Internet to your desktop -- without missing a beat.
SmartSuite 97 includes six 32-bit Windows applications: spreadsheet, word processor, database, presentation graphics, time management, and multimedia software.

Share it.
You work alone, sure. But don't you also work with others? SmartSuite 97's exclusive Team Computing features make it fast and easy to distribute reports, spreadsheets and presentations to co-workers, gather input and consolidate feedback -- without leaving your desk. You and your team can all create, review, and refine documents -- no matter where you're located.
What's on your plate? A presentation of the worldwide business plan to the Board. To get you started on the right track, pull up the "business plan" SmartMaster in Lotus Freelance Graphics. It guides you through the steps of creating a well-organized, professional plan. Then route it to your task force using Lotus TeamReview. Consolidate their comments into a stronger finished document.
Publish it.
How do you distribute news, policies, reports, findings, and documents to the wider world? SmartSuite 97 gives you ways to quickly turn any spreadsheet, word processing document, report or presentation into HTML, the language of the World Wide Web. Which means you don't have to have specialized training to reach distant audiences on your internal intranet or the Internet. SmartSuite 97 also enables you to deliver remote presentations over ordinary phone lines to different sites simultaneously using Lotus TeamShow.
The worldwide business plan has been approved! Now you want to share it with your counterparts in the London office. Use the new Web Page Publisher in Lotus Word Pro to publish your business plan to the Internet or your company intranet with just a click of the mouse. Even include links to other Web sites!
