That's all there is to it. Your new stationery automatically takes on the name of the document. Change it if you like, or leave it with the name it has now.
You already know that the Clipboard can be open at the same time you have a document open. And the disk window is often open when you work on a document, although it may be "under" your active document window. You can also open more than one document window at a time. If you arrange the positions and sizes of the documents, you can view two or more
Simultaneously. Viewing more than one document is useful when you want to see information in one
document while working on another or when you want to copy parts of one document to another.
To learn to work with multiple documents in LisaWrite, you use a lease document that is on the stationery pad
Your screen should look something like Figure 56.

This lease has been set up as a "boilerplate" document.
BOilerplate is text that is used over and over again with some changes. In this case, the bulk of the lease is the same for every customer. Some variable information needs to be inserted.
Imagine that you work at Office Supply Company. You are in the business of selling and leaSing office supplies and furniture. You use this lease as the basic contract whenever you lease office furniture. To customize this lease for each customer you need to add:
• Customer name and address.
• Customer number.
• Terms of Agreement.
• Each item being leased, including the description, quantity, monthly cost per unit, and total monthly cost.
In this example, you want to customize the lease for Mr.
John Smith at Alphabet Electronics. He wants to lease the following furniture:
1. One couch, item number 1654A.
2. Three desks, item number 49876B.
3. Three chairs, item 1954J.
Some of the information to be inserted in the lease is stored in other documents on your ProFile, on a stationery pad named Customers and some is on a LisaCalc stationery pad named Furniture. You'll find both stationery pads in the LisaWrite Examples folder.
Next you will open a copy of the Customers document and view its contents with the lease still on the screen.
First, resize the lease document so you can see the stationery pads.
