- November 17, 1987 -- Electronic Arts today announced the release of
- Outrageous Pages, a new addition to its Batteries Included line of
- productivity software products. Outrageous Pages is a full paint and
- graphics/layout program produced exclusively for Commodore 64/128 owners who
- want the flexible design power for creating printed output such as
- newsletters, calendars, certificates, signs, flyers, and invitations.
-
- "Outrageous Pages is an ideal program for organizations like schools, church
- groups and small, home businesses who require free-form design and
- professional quality output for their printed correspondence," said Stewart
- Bonn, Vice President of Electronic Arts Creativity/Productivity Division.
- He explained that users are not restricted to specific formats like those
- found in other layout programs. "Outrageous Pages makes you the designer,
- putting the decision in your hands as to how many or how few columns your
- document should contain, where to put graphics and text and how to set your
- margins."
-
- Outrageous Pages contains 50 different fonts and a library of 80 different
- art pieces for creating documents containing both graphics and text.
- Special autoflow margins allow the user to flow text around or within
- artwork. The program also contains a number of on-disk templates for quick
- production of materials like newsletters, coupons, place cards and name
- tags.
-
- Electronic Arts also announces the Outrageous Pages Upgrade Offer for
- current owners of any other Commodore 64/128 graphics program such as
- Printshop, Newsroom, Create a Calendar, Certificate Maker and Greeting Card
- Maker. Customers who send a check or money order for $25.00 (plus $3.00
- shipping and handling) along with the manual cover of their current graphics
