PAGES SOFTWARE SHIPS WebPages by Pages(tm)€
FIRST TRULY WYSIWYG EDITOR FOR WORLD WIDE WEB

San Diego, CA ± February 28, 1995 ± Pages Software today announced shipment of WebPages by Pages(tm) the first truly WYSIWYG HTML editor, which runs on NEXTSTEP/OpenStep. While shipping initially on NEXTSTEP for Intel and Motorola, and soon for Sparc and Hewlett-Packard, WebPages will also be available for OpenStep, the platform-independent object environment that will run on top of Solaris, Digitals' OSF/1, WindowsNT, and Windows95. 

WebPages is the optimal NEXTSTEP solution for establishing your presence on the World Wide Web.  WebPages can be used to create styled HTML (HyperText Markup Language) documents with little or no knowledge of HTML. 
 
WebPages allows you to create HTML documents using a drag-and-drop WYSIWYG interface; as you create your document, you see at all times how it will appear without having to switch between ªeditº and ªpreviewº modes. Further, you can drag and drop links from NEXTSTEP browsers to establish hyperlinks to other documents without having to type, copy, or know about URLs (Universal Resource Locators).

By using the collection of WebPages' HTML Design Models(tm), you can rapidly lay out, edit, rearrange, and restyle a page without ever seeing HTML source code.  Links to other documents are done using a select-drag-and-drop approach. The result is error-free HTML code that adheres to the HTML 2.0 Specification. Even styled headlines and tables are automatically converted to an image viewable by most Web browsers. This feature is not available in any other HTML editors.
ªThe Web is mission critical to most of our customers.º states Steven P. Jobs, Chairman and CEO of NeXT Computer, Inc. ªTools like WebPages, with it's tight integration of objects, empowers NEXTSTEP as the ultimate authoring environment for the Web. WebPages solves the two major roadblocks for those seeking to establish a presence on the Web: the difficulty of creating Web pages, and the fact that all HTML documents tend to look the same.º

With WebPages, anyone who can use a word processor can create well-styled, well-formed Web pages in a matter of minutes. Pages also includes filter support for Word, WordPerfect, Ami Pro, FrameMaker (MIF), RTF, and so on. The roadblocks to the Web are gone.
 
ªPublishing on the Web has become a very hot topic here at Indiana University, School of Journalism,º states Donald Baker, Technical Services Coordinator. ªJust as PageMaker and QuarkExpress simplified and enhanced the way we create printed documents, WebPages revolutionizes the way we create Web documents.   The combination of WebPages and a powerful internet-wise environment of NeXTSTEP has given us advanced and easy-to-use tools to quickly adapt our curriculum to this new information revolution.º

There are 14 HTML-specific Design Models, with more under construction. Pages Software Inc also offers design consulting for firms that want custom Design Models to give their Web documents a unique, distinctive look.

The WebPages Starter Pack retails for $395.00, and the Pages WebKit retails for $695.00. Pages HTML Design Models are priced at $75.00 each. Pages is sold through authorized resellers worldwide, as well as directly from Pages Software Inc. Orders can be placed by calling 1-619-492-9050 or by sending e-mail to info@pages.com. For more information on the products and the company, see us on the World Wide Web: http://www.pages.com/.

Pages Software Inc is located at 9755 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego, California  92124. The company's products, initially available on NEXTSTEP, are planned for multiple computer platforms and operating systems.
