A new computer application has been making a splash recently: Desktop Publishing.  This means the complete creation of all kinds of printed matter (letters, advertising, brochures, invitations, etc.) on the computer, including the layout, variation of the fonts used, and the integration of graphics.  Although some conventional word-processing programs already offered such possibilities, there were many restrictions, and the final result was usually only seen when it was printed out.  In desktop publishing, on the other hand, you do the complete design on the screen and see the result there just as it will be printed out later.  WYSIWYG means in computers: “What you see is what you get”.

As you probably know, POWER PLAN is a "spreadsheet". All types of calculations may be carried out with the aid of POWER PLAN. As an example of a calculation, let's calculate the selling price for an item based on the specified cost price. This is a calculation which a retailer has to make every day.

The cost price of an article is a combination of various factors. The most significant ones are the actual cost price, the additional costs (rent, etc.) and the retailer's profit margin. To calculate the selling price, the retailer needs various implements. For example, a sheet of paper, a pencil and in most cases, a pocket calculator. In this case you can already see that it is very sensible to use a computer for these calculations, as it offers advantages in a number of ways.

With suitable software, the computer is able to replace the above-mentioned implements. And you have this software right in your hands.

POWER PLAN not only replaces these implements, but offers you many other advantages.
