VENTANA VOODOO TURNS TO WINDOWS In an effort to bring clarity and sharpness to the sometimes cloudy Windows world, Ventana Press introduces its latest adventure in alchemy, Voodoo Windows, by master magician Kay Yarborough Nelson. The appeal of Microsoft Windows is transparent, with its intuitive interface and friendly flexibility. Yet many Windows manuals are murky at best, obscured by excess information and thick with techno talk. Nelson, author of the bestselling Voodoo DOS and Voodoo WordPerfect for Windows, helps cast off the confusion. Reducing each spell to its simplest ingredients, she also limits her listings to only the most accessible. "I'm not interested in all the ways to accomplish a task in Windows," explains the crafty conjurer, "just the quickest and easiest." Voodoo Windows unlocks the secrets about opening Windows; demonstrates techniques for teaching your mouse new tricks; conjures customizing spells for fun and productivity; and warns of evils that lurk ("Don't make your menus disappear! If you choose the same color for Menu Text and Menu Bar, guess what?"). Brave apprentices will master: * Windows 101 -- Starting, switching & editing windows; menu magic; dialogue box tricks and copy/paste tricks. * Customizing Windows -- Mouse tricks; enchanted colors; desktop wizardry; date tricks and miscellaneous magic. * Secrets of Running Programs -- Installing new programs; creating new groups; PIFs demystified and more program tricks. * File Manager Sorcery -- Selecting, moving, copying, deleting and finding files; tricks for the File Manager's View menu; working with programs in the File Manager; associating documents and programs, disk tricks and more File Manager tricks. Other lessons include: Really Neat Tricks, Curse Free Printing, Accessory Magic and Oh, Hex!. Like magic, Nelson transforms users from novices and neophytes to Windows wizards with a flash of brilliance and a dash of delight. Voodoo Windows is the natural progression from Voodoo DOS, Nelson's national bestseller that has drawn raves from beginners and experts alike around the world. Voodoo Windows is softcover, two color, 7 3/8" x 9 1/4", 365 pages with 110 illustrations. Suggested retail price: $19.95. ISBN: 1566040051.
