Apple Macintosh LC - Manual (Page 39)

7. Type the word Wednesday's.
The text you type replaces the selected text.
Your letter now looks something like this:
Please place this ad in Wednesday's paper. I have included a check for the
cost of the ad.
For Sale. One new backpack, and other assorted camping equipment. Price
negotiable. Please call between six and ten P.M. (336) 123-4567
8. Now choose the Save command from the File menu to save your latest
changes.
The new Wednesday Ad is saved.
9. Close the Wednesday Ad by choosing the Close command from the File menu.
The letter closes. (Remember, you did not choose Quit, so you are still in
TeachText.)
10. Open the original Camping Ad.
As a reminder, here are the steps for opening a document from inside an
application program:
- Choose Open from the File menu.
- Click the name of the File you want to open (Camping Ad) ##T##from the
list.
- Click the Open button.
Your original Camping Ad opens.
Notice that none of the changes you made to the Wednesday Ad had any effect
on this document. By opening and changing the duplicate document (Wednesday
Ad) you preserved the original letter (Camping Ad) unaltered.
11. Close the document by choosing Close from the File menu.
The document closes and TeachText awaits your next command.
Saving different versions of a document
As you saw in the previous steps, you can use the Duplicate command in the
Finder program (the program that controls your desktop) to make a copy of a
document that you can edit without changing the original document (to use the
original as a template or form letter).
You can also save different versions of a document from inside an application
program (like TeachText).
For example, you might want to create two versions of your rsum that
emphasize different job skills, or design three versions of a product
brochure aimed at three different groups of customers, or write different
versions of a letter with slightly different contents.
