<H3> 1.2.1 The 1970s - Documents by Hand</H3>
</banner>
<pre width="80">
<p>
Let us have a look where we have come from since we started to use
computer applications to where we want to go. We look at how we progressed
since 1970, and in<a href="1.3#HDR4610WWW"> "The New Way of Working with OpenDoc" in topic 1.3</a> we
look at how the new applications will make it easier to do our work.
<p>
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, text, charting, and accounting
applications were available to handle a wide variety of user needs. But
each application such as text editor, database, spreadsheet and graphics
only worked with its own specific data type. There were no means
available to be able to share the data between different applications. If
a document needed to include output from all of these applications, it was
literally an export-and-import, cut-and-paste or retype operation. If the
document required any changes, such as additions, deletions or
alterations, it often meant starting from scratch, running each
application in succession, and hand-pasting the results together again.
