@HEADLINE 2 = Xerox <->Announces Ventura 3.0
SAN DIEGO, CA, Summer, 1990 <197> Xerox Desktop Software today announced
another generation of Ventura Publisher<M^><190><D> software products
that provide advanced desktop publishing features never before available
to personal computer users. The Ventura Publisher 3.0 product family
is now available for GEM, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows platforms.
The new products provide users of Ventura Publisher 3.0 <197> which
mar<->ket share and industry reviews recognize as the leading MS-DOS<196>based
desktop publishing software <197> upward migration to networked and
pro<->fessional publishing capabilities. The features previously available
only with Xerox's Professional Extension and Network Server are now
available as a standard part of the new 3.0 release.
The three products included in the new software family are Ventura
Publisher 3.0: GEM Edition, Ventura Publisher 3.0: Windows Edition,
and Ventura Publisher 3.0: OS/2 Edition.
The new products and features are the result of extensive research
on the enhancements and capabilities most wanted by corporate and
commercial users of desk<->top publishing. <169>We now provide professional
publishing for all major IBM PC platforms,<170> said Larry Gerhard,
President of Xerox Desktop Software. <169>Our Network Server was the
first desktop publishing product to support concurrent multiple users
on a local area network. Our Professional Extension software was the
first to add a variety of advanced professional features for creating
a broad assortment of documents. By making these features available
under Microsoft Windows and OS/2, as well as GEM, we provide our users
with advanced publishing features tailored to their particular platform.
<B>Ventura Publisher 3.0<D>
The ease-of-use enhancements will help users realize full value from
the 3.0 product family in minimal time. Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0
adds significant features to Xerox Ventura Publisher's long document
capabilities, including enhanced automatic anchoring of illustrations
to a point in the text and automatic page and figure numbers across
chapters.
For example, Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0 provides more than 300 context-sensitive
help screens within the dialog boxes. Users may select preferred combinations
of pull-down and pop-up menus, and many functions are selectable either
by the mouse or by simple keyed commands. These features are designed
to reduce learning time and make desktop publishing more readily accessible
to a broader customer base.
Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0 allows users to print in color on color
PostScript printers, or print color separations to any black and white
printer. Colors are defined by specifying their C, Y, M, and K (cyan,
yellow, magenta, and black) values.
Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0 has enhanced image support with Tag Image
File Format (TIFF) file compatibility and gray scale image control
to allow printing of a broad range of gray tones in black-and-white
documents. Encapsulated PostScript files allow images to be imported
from sophisticated graphics programs such as Adobe Illustrator.
To facilitate the production of short, design-intensive documents,
Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0 supports more flexible use of interactive
font and kerning controls. The flexibility of these and other features
fully supports the creation of documents ranging from a single page
to hundreds of pages.
