Super Power Macros, Techniques and Secrets for Lotus 1-2-3, is a new
hypertext electronic book about the Lotus macro language in a format
of a Microsoft Windows 3.1 help file, which contains the equivalent of
over 1000 pages of a paper bound book.
Super Power is based on the step-by-step very detailed analysis of
over 200 commercial macros and is designed for Lotus users of every
level, who want to master the macro language using clear and detailed
analysis to achieve a complete understanding of the codes and the
capabilities of each macro. Super Power is divided into two parts and
includes a comprehensive table of contents to facilitate the book's
use, both by novices and experienced professionals. The reader studies
macro programming by reading the analysis and explanation of actual
macros, not the other way around.
Part one contains techniques and useful suggestions that are the
products of extensive research. Many advanced techniques that have
never before covered in other books are presented. However, the
techniques simply explained so the principles are easy to understand.
Part two contains the detailed analysis of hundreds of real life
commercial macros, which are divided into different group categories
based on the action they perform: printing, graphics, copy, move,
ranges, format, etc. Super Power offers detailed analysis and
explanation for every macro code and command, and any technique or
trick that is used to produce the correct results. When Super Power
analyzes a macro and comes to such a new or unconventional technique,
it is cross-referenced through hypertext jump to the chapter dealing
with the same technique, or explains the technique within the macro as
needed.
The reader can study the macro language, but also can use these
macros, which are the most sophisticated and powerful macros ever
published. The macros built in so that they do not suffer from the
limitations of other commercial macro libraries. For example: they do
not demand that the data in a range has to be the same type,
contiguous or has other limitations. They handle ranges, not just
columns or a single cell, but a range containing any type of data:
labels, numbers, formula, blank, @MA and @ERR. If for example the
macro is designed to change the labels to uppercase, it will ignore
all the other types of data and will treat only the labels in the
range. If the macro is designed to multiply all the numbers by a
factor, it will multiply only and all the numbers in the range and
will ignore all the other cells.
The macros handle both 2-D and 3-D ranges transparently, and
automatically sense what type and version of Lotus 1-2-3 the user uses
and applies the correct code.
