@CHAPTER HEAD = PUBLISHING CHAPTER
@HEADING 2 = MENU COMMANDS
Most of Ventura Publisher's functions are controlled through the menus
at the top of the screen. This section describes the operation of
each of these menus and the options within them. These commands are
presented in the order in which they appear on the screen. Use the
index for an alphabetical reference to these commands.
@HEADING 3 = Menu Conventions
Often, a menu option will be shown in gray and cannot be highlighted.
This usually indicates that the proper function has not been selected.
The table below indicates these dependencies.
@HEADING 4 = DESK
@Z_TBL_BEG = COLUMNS(2), DIMENSION(IN), WIDTH(3.8333), INDENT(1.1600),
BELOW(.1667), HGUTTER(.2917), VGUTTER(.0833), BOX(Z_DOUBLE), HGRID(Z_SINGLE),
VGRID(Z_SINGLE), KEEP(OFF)
@Z_TBL_HEAD = TABLE TEXT, TABLE TEXT
<B>Menu Option<D><$!B11>, <B>Availability<D><$!B11>
@Z_TBL_BODY = TABLE TEXT, TABLE TEXT
Publisher Info . . ., Always available
@Z_TBL_END =
@HEADING 4 = FILE
@Z_TBL_BEG = COLUMNS(2), DIMENSION(IN), WIDTH(3.8333), INDENT(1.1600),
BELOW(.1667), HGUTTER(.2917), VGUTTER(.0833), BOX(Z_DOUBLE), HGRID(Z_SINGLE),
VGRID(Z_SINGLE), KEEP(OFF)
@Z_TBL_HEAD = TABLE TEXT, TABLE TEXT

@Z_TBL_BODY = TABLE TEXT, TABLE TEXT

Abandon, Available if chapter has been changed
@Z_TBL_END =
@HEADING 1 = FILE MENU<$&File menu[v]>
@HEADING 2 = Description/Application
The File Menu (See Figure <$R[C#,File menu]1><196><$R[P#,File menu]1>)controls
information flow into and out of Ventura Publisher.
The File Menu provides five basic functions:
@INSTRUCTION = You can save or retrieve the entire chapter
@INSTRUCTION = You can Load individual text, Line Art, or Image files
into the chapter
@KEY NOTE TEXT = If the file name is not shown, you may have saved
the chapter with an extension (the part of the file name to the right
of the period) different than the default .CHP file extension used
by Ventura Publisher, or the file may be saved in a different subdirectory.
Change either the default extension on the Directory line in the Item
Selector, or change the subdirectory.
To copy a file, type:
@COMPUTER TEXT = COPY A:FILE1.TXT C:FILE2.TXT
This will simultaneously copy and rename the file.
@HEADING 3 = Equations
Here is an equation using centered tabs:
@EQUATION = X<M^>2 <D>+ Y<M^>2<D> + Z<M^>2<D><R>
<MO>2X + 3Y + 4Z<D>
Here is the same equation using the equation feature:
@TABLE 2 = <$E{roman X sup 2 ~ +~ roman Y sup 2 ~+~ roman Z sup
2 } over {2 roman X~+~3 roman Y~+~4 roman Z}><R>
