PUBLISHING PARTNER - INTRODUCTION

     Softlogik was founded by 2 individuals with a vision that the
Atari ST would become the preferred desktop publishing machine.
After 1 and 1/2 years research working with typesetters and
printers, the dream has finally been realized.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

     Feel free to make backup copies of Publishing Partner for
your personal security. If you have ideas which you think might be
beneficial to other users, Softlogik wants to know so we can pass
the word along.

     The manual which you are now reading was typeset with
Publishing Partner, and an Apple LaserWriter.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

     In order to use publishing Partner you must have an Atari ST
with a minimum of 512K memory, one disk drive and TOS on ROM. You
can use either a color or monochrome monitor but monochrome is
suggested. Publishing Partner will support any Epson, Epson
graphics compatible printer, GDOS print driver or any Postscript
compatible printer such as the Apple LaserWriter and the QMS PS
800.

USING THIS MANUAL

     This manual is divided into 4 chapters. The first Chapter
gives you a "10 minute tour" of Publishing Partner. The second
chapter is a tutorial which leads you through many of Publishing
Partner's more unique features. The third chapter contains step by
step instructions on some of the basic operations. The last
chapter is a reference section which describes each feature of
Publishing Partner in more detail.

If you have not used an Atari ST prior to using this program, you
should read the manual which came with your computer and become
familiar with the "ST" system before proceeding. If you are an
experienced Atari ST computer user, you can probably start using
Publishing Partner without ever touching the manual. However, we
recommend that you read the "10 minute tour" and the tutorial so
you will become familiar with the basic commands for creating a
document. If after mastering the "tutorials" you want more
information, you should read chapters 3 and 4 for more
information.

OVERVIEW

     Publishing Partner is a desktop publishing program. It is the
culmination of typesetting, graphics, and forms design. By
SoftLogik combining all 3 of these elements in one program, you
can create professional looking documents on your Atari ST.

     First you can do a rough page design by creating columns and
graphics and then start adding text. See how it fits. See hoe it
looks. See how it flows on to the next page. Make some changes.
Try a different type face, or even some pictures. You'll see
instantly if your new idea works or not.

     Once you become familiar with desktop publishing, you'll be
able to produce professional documents quickly and easily.

CHAPTER ONE

     A 10 minute tour of Publishing Partner

     This 10 MINUTE TOUR has been designed so you can quickly  see
some of the many options Publishing Partner has to offer.

     After working through the 10 MINUTE TOUR ,  you will  greatly
benefit from the more in depth tutorial found in Chapter 2.

     If we're going to finish in 10 minutes, let's get started.

GETTING STARTED

     When you open the Publishing Partner package, you will find 2
disks.  One  disk  is  labeled "Color Version" and  the  other  is
labeled "Monochrome Version".

     If you wish to use Publishing Partner on a color system,  you
will  need  to  load  the program from  the  disk  labeled  "Color
version".

     If  you  wish to use the Publishing Partner on  a  monochrome
system,  you  will need to load the program from the disk  labeled
"Monochrome Version".

     Before  you  turn  the  computer  on,  you  must  insert  the
publishing  partner  program disk in drive A.  If you use  a  disk
other  than publishing partner when turning the computer  on,  you
will  be  unable to print (such as Epson  and  graphic  compatible
printers etc.) using the GDOS output program.

     Insert  the correct program disk for your system in  drive  A
and turn the computer on.

     If you are using a color system, open the "PUBLISHC.PRG" icon
from  the "Color Version" program disk (point on the  icon,  click
the mouse and then select OPEN from the FILE drop down  menu).  If
you  are using a monochrome system,  open the "PUBLISHM.PRG"  icon
from the "Monochrome Version" program disk.

     The  disk  in the drive should spin and after waiting  a  few
seconds, Publishing Partner will be loaded.

     If  while working through the "10 minute tour" of  publishing
partner you make some mistakes and wish to start over, just select
NEW DOCUMENT and click on the "OK" box to start over.

     Use the mouse and position the pointer over the arrow in  the
TOOLBOX located on the right side of the screen.

     Click the left mouse button.

     Again  using the mouse,  position the pointer near the  upper
left  edge  of  the grid and press and hold down  the  left  mouse
button.

      While holding down the left mouse button,  "drag" the  mouse
approximately 3 inches down and to the right and then release  the
left  mouse button.  You have just created a column which you  can
enter text into.

     Select  the  option labeled TEXT located in the  upper  right
corner of the screen (select the TEXT option by clicking the mouse
while the pointer is resting over it).

     Type the word "hello" and then press the RETURN key.

     Using the mouse,  highlight the word you just typed (Position
the  pointer in front of the letter "h",  press and hold down  the
left  mouse button,  and then "drag" the mouse to the right  until
the entire word you just typed appears in reverse video) and  then
release the left mouse button.

     While the word "hello" is still highlighted.....

     Select  the option labeled CENTER from the FORMAT  drop  down
menu.

     Select  the option labeled BLOCK RIGHT from the  FORMAT  drop
down menu.

     Select MAKE UPPERCASE from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     Select MAKE LOWERCASE from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     Select BLOCK LEFT from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     Select BOLD from the STYLE drop down menu.

     Select NORMAL from the STYLE drop down menu.

     Select  any  of the options in the STYLE drop down  menu  and
then select NORMAL to bring the highlighted text back to normal.

     Select CHANGE MARGINS from the FORMAT drop down  menu,  click
on the arrows and watch the results. Select CANCEL when finished.

     Select SUPERSCRIPT from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     Select CHANGE SUPER/SUBSCRIPT from the FORMAT drop down  menu
and click on the arrows. Select CANCEL when finished.

     Use  the  mouse  and  click  the  left  mouse  button   while
underneath  the word "hello".  This will cause the text to  become
dehighlighted and should place a blinking cursor on the line below
the word "hello".

     Type the word "Goodbye".

     Highlight both lines of text.

     Select  LINE/CHAR  spacing from the FORMAT  drop  down  menu.
Click on the arrows and watch the effects.  Select OK and view how
the highlighted text has changed.

     Select FONTS/POINTS from the STYLE drop down menu.  Click  on
the arrows until the number 24 appears.  Position the pointer over
the number "24" and click the left mouse button. Select the OK box
to continue.

     Select SHOW RULERS from the VIEW drop down menu.

     Select SHOW RULERS again from the VIEW drop down menu.

     Select SHOW FULL PAGE from the VIEW drop down menu.

     Select SHOE ACTUAL SIZE from the VIEW drop down menu.

     If  you wish to exit the program,  select QUIT from the  FILE
drop down menu.

CHAPTER TWO

A TUTORIAL USING PUBLISHING PARTNER

     The best way to learn how to use software is through  "hands-
on" look at many of Publishing Partner's unique features.

     The  "tutorial"  uses the premise that you are  preparing  an
advertisement  describing your new  software  program,  Publishing
Partner.  Since the first page has already been written,  your job
will be to finish the second page.

     You'll learn how to:

          use the scroll bars
          move from page to page
          adjust character spacing
          import pictures
          import text
          size a picture
          show rulers
          right justify text
          change character sizes
          "flow" text between columns
          indent text in columns
          draw lines and boxes

     You'll also learn how to save and print your documents. Since
the  purpose of the tutorial is to give you "hands  on"  training,
feel free to experiment along the way.

GETTING STARTED

     Insert the correct Publishing Partner program disk (color  or
monochrome) in drive A and turn the computer on.

     Open the "PUBLISHC.PRG" icon if you are using a color  system
or  the  "PUBLISHM.PRG"  if you are  using  a  monochrome  system.
remember  to always turn the computer on with the program disk  in
drive A.  If you don't,  you will be unable to run the GDOS output
program.

     The  disk  in the drive should spin and after waiting  a  few
seconds,  you will see publishing partner's title screen. Once the
title screen disappears,  you'll know the program has been  loaded
(If  the program does not load,  turn off all accessories and  try
again).  If you are using a 512K system, you may need to disengage
all accessories for this tutorial.

     If  while working through the tutorial of publishing  partner
you  make some mistakes and want to start over,  just  select  NEW
DOCUMENT  from the FILE drop down menu and select "OK"  and  start
over.

     Before you can proceed with the tutorial, you must first load
the  sample file.  Insert the publishing partner program  disk  in
drive A.

LOAD DOCUMENT

     Use  the  mouse and select LOAD DOCUMENT from the  FILE  drop
down menu.  After doing so,  you will see the familiar Atari  item
selector.

     Move  the  pointer over to the file  named"TUTORIAL.DOC"  and
click the left mouse button. If you selected the correct file, you
will  see  the  name  of  the  file  displayed  under  the  prompt
"Selection:"  If  you selected the wrong filename,  click  on  the
CANCEL  box  and try again.  Once you have  selected  the  correct
filename, click on the OK box to continue.

     If  you  have a file in memory,  you will  see  dialog  boxes
reminding  you  that  loading a new file will erase  the  file  in
memory. Select the "Delete" box twice to continue.

     The  disk  in the drive will spin and the  document  will  be
loaded.

     As  you  can see,  we have already started a  newsletter  and
you're  looking  at  the first page.  If you  were  starting  from
scratch,  your page would be blank (except for the  toolbox,  drop
down menus,  and scroll bars).  Your page (the area containing the
grid and text) represents a standard 8.5 X 11 inch sheet of paper.
(You can select other document sizes from the NEW DOCUMENT  option
in the FILE drop down menu).

When your file is loaded:

SCROLL BARS

     You are viewing the upper left section of the document. Using
the 2 scroll bars located at the bottom of the screen and next  to
the toolbox, you can view different sections of the page.

     The unshaded portion of the scroll bar represents the section
of the page you are viewing.  If the top half of the scroll bar is
unshaded, then you are viewing the top half of the page. Using the
scroll bars, there are two ways to move about your page:

     1.  Position  the  pointer over the unshaded portion  of  the
scroll bar and press and hold down the left mouse button.  If  you
look  closely,  you will see the unshaded portion of the  box  has
become  highlighted with a dotted line indicating it is  selected.
Once  this occurs,  you can view a new area of the page by  simply
moving  the mouse.  When you release the left  mouse  button,  the
screen  will  change  to  reflect the area of  the  page  you  are
viewing.

     2.  If  you wish to advance a 1/2 screen at a time,  you  can
position the mouse pointer over a shaded portion of the scroll bar
click the left mouse button.

SHOW FULL PAGE

     Instead of using the scroll bars to move about your page, you
can also view the entire page on the screen.

     Select SHOW FULL PAGE from the VIEW drop down menu.  You will
see the screen has changed to show the entire page on your screen.
While  this may not be completely readable,  it will give  you  an
overall view of the entire page.

     Select  SHOE  ACTUAL  SIZE from the VIEW drop  down  menu  to
return to the normal viewing mode.

CHOOSING A SUITABLE VIEWING SIZE

     You can reduce and enlarge the viewing size of your  document
by selecting the SHOW FULL PAGE,  SHOW 50%,  SHOW 200%,  SHOW FULL
WIDTH  and  SHOW/SET USER SCALE from the VIEW drop  down  menu.  A
check  mark  will  appear  next to the  item  which  is  currently
selected.  If  you select the SHOW/SET USER SCALE option a  dialog
box  will appear.  You can then enter your own viewing  percentage
between 15 and 999 percent.

     When you are ready to proceed with the tutorial,  select SHOW
ACTUAL SIZE.

MOVING FROM PAGE TO PAGE

     In the lower right corner of the toolbox you will see an icon
labeled "PAGE:" with the number "1" beneath it. This indicates you
are looking at the first page of your document.

     If  you wish to move forward or backwards a page at  a  time,
you  would simply click the left or right arrow in the page  icon.
If you wish to "jump" to a particular page,  position the  pointer
over  the displayed page number and click the left  mouse  button.
You can then enter the new page number you wish to view  (pressing
the ESC key clears the line).

     Select the right arrow in the "PAGE:" icon.

     The display number will change to page 2 and you will see the
page change.

     As you can see,  the second page is not finished.  The  white
"patches"  where  the  background grid  disappears  indicate  that
columns are resting there.  In most cases,  you will want to enter
your text into columns.  However,  the flexibility exists to enter
text outside a column.

DISPLAY RULERS

     Select SHOW RULERS from the VIEW drop down menu.

     You will see 2 rulers.  One ruler is displayed along the  top
of  the  screen and the second ruler is displayed along  the  left
side  of  the  screen.  As  you  move  the  mouse,  you  will  see
corresponding dotted lines move on the ruler.  This permits you to
align text exactly as you desire.

     When  the ruler is displayed,  you will notice marks  on  the
rulers indicating where "tab stops" and "snap to guides" have been
placed.  These  are  addressed in the reference  section  of  this
manual.

     The  default  ruler  display is  in  inches.  To  change  the
display,  select MEASURING SYSTEM from the CREATE LAYOUT drop down
menu. You can then select either inches, picas, or centimeters.

IMPORT TEXT

     Publishing  Partner  allows you to enter text  directly  into
your document or you can load any ASCII text file. To shorten this
tutorial,  let's  import text which was saved using  another  word
processor.

     Use  the  mouse  and position the  pointer  over  the  column
located  in the upper left corner of the screen (above the  phrase
word processing) and click the left mouse button.

     Once  this  has been done,  you will see  a  flashing  cursor
indicating  the  column is ready to receive text (you  can  either
type directly from the keyboard or IMPORT text at this time).

     Since we are going to import text,  select the IMPORT  option
from the FILE drop down menu.

     You will see the standard Atari ITEM SELECTOR.

     Using the mouse,  position the pointer over the file  labeled
COLUMN1.TXT and click the left mouse button.  Select the OK box to
verify your selection.

TEXT OVERFLOW

     You  will notice the column has been filled with text  and  a
"+" sign appears at the end of the column. This indicated more has
been placed in the column than will fit.

     Make sure TEXT option in the TOOLBOX is selected.

     Position  the  mouse pointer directly over the "+"  sign  and
click the left mouse button.

     You will see the cursor has changed to a "document  overflow"
icon  and  the prompt "Select Column - To" appears  in  the  upper
right corner of the screen.

     As the prompt indicates,  you need to select a column to place
the "overflown" text.

PLACING OVERFLOWN TEXT

     Use  the mouse and position the pointer over the next  column
to the right.

     Click the left mouse button.

     You  will  see the overflown text has "flowed" into  the  new
column.

     You have just linked these 2 columns together. If you were to
go  back and edit the first column,  the text would  automatically
overflow into its linked companion column.

IMPORTING MORE TEXT

     Using the mouse, position the pointer over the column located
at  the bottom right side of the screen and click the  left  mouse
button. A blinking cursor will appear in that column indicating it
is ready to receive text.

     Select  IMPORT from the FILE drop down menu.  Once again  you
will see the standard Atari ITEM SELECTOR. Use the mouse and click
on the filename "COLUMN3.TXT". Select OK to verify your choice.

     The  next few pages in the "tutorial" will lead  you  through
some of Publishing Partner's unique capabilities.

     At  the top of the newsletter on page 2,  you will  notice  a
headline.  The caption beneath the headline reads, "CREATES LIKE A
PUBLISHING COMPANY WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD". With Publishing Partner,
you can adjust the spacing between each character to give  special
effects.

ADJUST CHARACTER SPACING

     We  are  going  to  adjust the  character  spacing  by  first
highlighting the text.

     Highlighting Text

     Make sure the TEXT option from the toolbox is selected.

     Use  the mouse and position the pointer in the front  of  the
letter "C" in the headline "CREATES LIKE A PUBLISHING..." and then
press and hole down the left mouse button.

     Use the mouse and move the pointer to the right. You will see
that  as  you  move the mouse while holding down  the  left  mouse
button,  the corresponding text will become highlighted.  When you
are satisfied that you have the correct text highlighted,  release
the left mouse button.

     With  the text still highlighted,  select  LINE/CHAR  SPACING
from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     You will see a dialog box.

     With  this option,  you can adjust both the amount  of  space
between the lines and the amount of space between characters.

     Use  the  mouse  and  position  the  pointer  over  the   box
containing a right arrow.

     Press and hold down the left mouse button.

     You will see the character spacing before you eyes.  When the
character  spacing has reached its maximum (127),  the  characters
will  then  stop moving.  The "character spacing"  number  is  for
reference  only,  it  is  not an exact unit of  measure  for  each
character size.

     Release the left mouse button.

     We want to set the character spacing to 7.

     Position the mouse pointer over the left arrow and hold  down
the left mouse button until the character spacing number shows 7.

Note:  You  can also use the arrow keys on the computer to  adjust
the  LINE AND CHARACTER SPACING rather than using the  mouse.  The
choice is up to you!

     We are now ready to view the results.

     Select the OK box to continue.

VIEW HEADLINE ON ONE SCREEN

     Use  the  horizontal scroll bar to position the page  so  the
left and right edges of the headline both fit on the screen.

     The text will remain highlighted.  You should notice that the
highlighted text extends too far to the right.

MOVING A TEXT OBJECT

     You  are currently working with text which has  been  created
outside  a column.  This is referred to as a  TEXT  OBJECT.  Let's
position the TEXT OBJECT so it appears centered.

     Press  and  hold down both the SHIFT key and the  left  mouse
button.

     A dotted box will appear around the TEXT OBJECT and the mouse
pointer will change to a HAND.

     You  can now reposition the TEXT OBJECT by simply moving  the
mouse.  When  you are satisfied with the TEXT  OBJECT's  position,
release the left mouse button and the SHIFT key.

     The previously highlighted text will remain highlighted until
you click the left mouse button.  Striking any key (excluding  the
arrow  keys and special control keys i.e  Alternate,  Control  or,
Esc) will also cause text to become dehighlighted.

CHANGE CHAR SPACING

     With  the  text still  highlighted,  reselect  the  LINE/CHAR
SPACING option from the VIEW drop down menu,  change the character
spacing to "10" and select "OK".

     Position the highlighted TEXT OBJECT so it is centered in the
headline (Use the SHIFT + Left mouse button option).

     When you are satisfied with the position of the TEXT  OBJECT,
click the left mouse button to dehighlight the text.

CHANGE CHAR SIZE

     Use  the scroller bars to view the upper left section of  the
document.

     Using  the  mouse,  position the pointer in  the  upper  left
column on the screen and click the left mouse button.

     Highlight the phrase "Publishing Partner Helps You Create".

     Select the FONTS/POINTS option from the STYLE drop down menu.

     You will see a dialog box.

     Use  the mouse to position the pointer over the  right  arrow
and click the left mouse button one time.

     Position the pointer over the number "18" and click the  left
mouse button again.

     You  will notice the number next to the prompt "Point:"  will
change to 18. This indicates the last selected number.

     The  term  "point" is a typesetting word meaning 1/72  of  an
inch.  If you wanted a character to be 1 inch tall, you would then
select 72 points.

     If you want to enter in your own point size,  simply position
the  mouse  pointer over the number displayed next to  the  prompt
"Point:"   You can then enter a number between 2 and  216  points.
Refer to the reference section of the manual for more information.

     Select the OK prompt in the dialog box.

     The highlighted text will now change to 18 point  characters.
You will also notice that since this column has been linked to the
adjacent column,  (this was done earlier in the tutorial) changing
the characters to 18 points causes text to automatically  overflow
into the adjacent column.

     Position  the pointer over the column located closest to  the
right side of the page and click the left mouse button.

     Highlight the first line of text which reads, "Forms Creator"
and change its point size to 18 points.

BLOCK RIGHT/CHANGE AN ENTIRE COLUMN

     Let's be creative. We are going to take the column closest to
the  right side of the page and align all the lines of text  along
the right side of the column instead of the traditional left side.

     The  last time you modified some text,  you  highlighted  it.
That technique is fine if you want to modify a particular  section
of a column.  However,  you now want to modify the entire  column.
Here's a shortcut:

     Use  the  mouse  and position the pointer  over  the  "arrow"
option  (object  editor) in the toolbox and click the  left  mouse
button.

     Since  the  cursor was already resting in  the  column,  this
column  will automatically become selected.  You will know  it  is
selected because there will be "sizing squares" along the  corners
of the column.

     If  for some reason the column on the far right side  of  the
page  is not selected,  position the pointer over that column  now
and click the left mouse button.

     Select BLOCK RIGHT from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     You  will see a dialog box prompting you to verify  that  you
want to modify the contents of the entire column.

     Select OK.

     The screen will blink and the entire column will be realigned
along the right margin.

     Use the horizontal scroller bar and position the page so  you
are viewing the right side of the document.

SEARCH

     With  the  cursor resting in the  far  right  column,  select
SEARCH from the EDIT drop down menu.

     You  will  see a dialog box which reads "Stop!  You  can  not
perform the function selected in the mode you are in...[OK]".

     This  indicates you must be in the TEXT mode before  you  can
perform this operation.

     Select OK.

     Click on the TEXT option from the TOOLBOX.

     Reselect the SEARCH option from the EDIT drop down menu.

     You  will  see a dialog box prompting you to enter  a  search
criteria.

     Type  "phone slips" and don't press RETURN.  If you make  any
typing  errors,  use  the keyboard editing commands found  on  the
keyboard.

     Use the mouse and select the box labeled ENTIRE.

     This instructs the program to search the entire column for  a
match of the phrase "phone slips".

     When a match is found,  you will see a dialog box which  asks
you if you want to CONTINUE the search or STOP.

     Select STOP.

     You  will  notice  that when a match  is  found,  it  remains
highlighted.  If you start typing,  the highlighted material  will
become dehighlighted.

DELETING HIGHLIGHTED TEXT

     Use the mouse and highlight the current line; "While you were
out phone slips".

     Press the BACKSPACE key once.

     You will see that all the highlighted text has been  deleted.
This  is  a handy shortcut when deleting both  text  and  graphics
(line,  box,  circle, picture,etc.). You can highlight any text or
graphic  object and press the BACKSPACE or DELETE key  to  quickly
delete it.

     If a blank line remains after you delete the line,  press the
"Delete" key to eliminate it.

ADJUST MARGINS

     Publishing  Partner  permits you to adjust margins  within  a
column.

     While still viewing the third column at the far right of  the
page,  you  will  see the column contains 2 paragraphs (1  at  the
beginning and 1 at the end) and a list of forms (in the middle  of
the column) which could be created with Publishing Partner.

     Highlight the list forms in the middle of the column. (Hint -
Use  the vertical scroll bar and position the page so you can  see
the contents in the middle of the column.

     Select CHANGE MARGINS from the FORMAT drop down menu.

     Use  the mouse and position the pointer over the  left  arrow
under the RIGHT INDENT prompt.

     Press and hold down the left mouse button.

     You  will notice the margin representation inside the  dialog
box will start changing. The numbers under the RIGHT INDENT prompt
displays  in inches the amount of the right indent.  (If you  have
selected a different MEASURING SYSTEM from the CREATE-LAYOUT menu,
those measurement units will be used in the display).

     The  indent representation will stop moving when  it  reaches
its maximum (1.77 inches).

     Release the left mouse button.

     You can quickly reset the indent back to zero by clicking  on
the box next to the "right indent" margin line.

     Change the RIGHT INDENT margin to 1/2 (.5 in) inch.  You  can
use the left and right arrow keys from the keyboard to change  the
"left  indent"  and  the up and down arrows to  change  the  "right
indent".

     Select OK from the margin dialog box and continue.

     You  will  see  the  previously  highlighted  text  has  been
indented 1/2 inch from the right side of the column.

     The text which was highlighted will remain highlighted  until
you strike a key.

     Click the left mouse button to dehighlight the text.

DRAW LINES

     Select the box labeled LINE from the toolbox. As you can see,
you can define the type of line you wish to use.

     A  check mark appears next to the selected  line  attributes.
Position  the mouse pointer under the column labeled  "Width"  and
select a 1 pt line.

     Select the OK box to continue.

     We  are  now ready to draw a line.  If your  rulers  are  not
already  being displayed,  select the SHOW RULERS option from  the
VIEW drop down menu.

     When you move the mouse,  you will see a corresponding dotted
line  move on the rulers.  This marks your exact position  on  the
page.

     Select  the HORIZ/VERT line box from the toolbox  located  at
the right side of you screen.

     The selected item will appear in inverse video.

     When  you move the mouse pointer away from the  toolbox,  its
appearance  changes to a "crosshair".  This indicates you  are  in
drawing mode.

     If you look in the upper right corner of the screen, you will
see the prompt "Click the points".  This is a reminder on how  the
drawing process works.

     Use the mouse and position the pointer 2 and 7/8 inches  from
the left edge of the page and 3 and 3/8 inches from the top  edge.
Using the scroller bars and rulers will make this very easy.

     Now  that  you have the pointer  positioned  correctly,  lets
start drawing.

     Click the left mouse button one time to start the line.

     Use the mouse and position the pointer over the unshaded  box
on the vertical scroll bar and press and hold down the left  mouse
button.  This  selects  the scroll bar so you can  reposition  the
page.

     Now  that  the  scroll box is selected,  use  the  mouse  and
position the unshaded scroll box at the bottom of the page.

      Using the mouse and rulers, position the mouse pointer 9 and
3/4  inches  from the top of the page.  Since you  are  drawing  a
vertical  line,  it doesn't matter how far from the left edge  the
pointer is positioned.

     Provided you have the pointer (crosshair) on the page,  click
the left mouse button to define the line's endpoint.

     Your vertical line will be drawn.

REPOSITIONING A GRAPHIC OBJECT (LINE)

     If  you  are not satisfied with the line's placement  on  the
page,  you can easily reposition it. Simultaneously press and hold
down  the SHIFT key and the left mouse button.  The  pointer  will
change to a hand.  You can now move the line by moving the  mouse.
When you release the left mouse button, the line will be pasted to
the page.

SIZING A GRAPHIC OBJECT (LINE)

     If after drawing a graphic object,  such as the line we  just
drew, you can go back and change the object's size. Let's do this.

     Use  the mouse and select the arrow (object editor) from  the
toolbox.

     Position  the pointer over the line you have just  drawn  and
click the left mouse button.

     The line will become selected (contain sizing squares on  its
endpoints) if it wasn't already.

     Position the pointer over one of the sizing squares and press
and hold down the left mouse button.

     Start moving the mouse.

     You will see the object move. Since you drew a vertical line,
the  line  will  only  change in  that  direction.  When  you  are
satisfied with the lines positioning, release the mouse button.

     Try this on your own by placing another line between the  two
adjacent columns.

VIEW FULL PAGE

     Select SHOW FULL PAGE from the VIEW drop down menu.

     You will notice that the entire page has been reduced to  fit
on one screen. Even the rulers have been reduced proportionally.

DRAW A BOX

     Let's draw a box while in the SHOW FULL PAGE mode.

     When  drawing  a  box,  there are a few things  you  need  to
remember. The box will be drawn using the selected attributes from
the LINE, FILL, and COLOR options from the toolbox.

     Select  LINE  from the toolbox,  select a 5  point  line  and
select OK.

     Select FILL from the toolbox,  select the fourth fill pattern
from the first column, and select OK.

     Select  the BOX option from the toolbox.  It is resting  just
above the VERT/HORZ line box used earlier.

     Use the mouse and position the pointer (crosshair) 9 and  3/4
inches from the top of the page.

     Click the left mouse button.

     Now  position the pointer (crosshair) 10 and 1/2 inches  from
the top of the page and 8 inches from the left edge of the page.

     Click the left mouse button again.

MOVING AN OBJECT (BOX)

     You will see a gray filled box with a 5 point border.  If you
don't  like its location,  just press the SHIFT key and  the  left
mouse button to move the box.

SIZING AN OBJECT (BOX)

     If  you want to adjust its size (as previously done with  the
line),  select  the  arrow (object editor) from  the  toolbox  and
"drag"  the sizing squares until you  find a size  you  like.  (If
sizing  squares don't appear on the box,  you will need  to  first
click on the object).

SHOW FULL WIDTH

     Select SHOW FULL WIDTH from the VIEW drop down menu.

     The  purpose  of this option is to permit you to  reduce  the
width  of  a page so it will fit in one  screen.  This  eliminates
having to use the horizontal scroll bar.

     If you are not viewing the bottom of the sample page you  are
currently working on, use the vertical scroll bar and position the
unshaded box at the bottom of the screen.

PLACE TEXT OUTSIDE A COLUMN

     In  most cases,  you will enter text directly into  a  column
giving you the advantage of justification,  word wrap,  search and
replace and many more standard word processing functions. However,
there are times when this is not advantageous.

     For example, suppose you want to enter text in the shaded box
just  created.  Although this box is not in a column,  it is  very
easy to enter text there. Here's how:

     Make sure the TEXT option from the toolbox is selected.

     Let's  enter  our text in a character size of  a  half  inch.
Select  the FONT/POINTS option from the STYLE drop down  menu  and
select a 36 point character (remember 72 points to an  inch,  thus
.5 X 72 = 36).

     Position the pointer near the left edge of the shaded box and
simultaneously  press  both  the CONTROL key and  the  left  mouse
button.

     Release both keys.

     You will see the prompt "nul" at the place where the  pointer
was  resting when you pressed CONTROL and the left  mouse  button.
This indicates you are creating text as an object instead of  text
inside  a column.  You can manipulate a text object just as if  it
were  a line or any other graphic object,  the only  exception  is
that  you can't size the text using the "sizing squares"  (instead
you must adjust its point size).

     Type "By [your name]" (i.e. By Ellen Becker)

     When you type,  you will notice the characters are  displayed
on the screen in 36 points. If you make a mistake, use the editing
keys on the computer to make any corrections.

     NOTE  -  Each  time you press a key,  it appears  as  if  the
background fill pattern is being erased.  Don't  worry!  Actually,
the  text is being placed on top of the box and nothing  below  is
erased.  This will be evident once the screen is redrawn.  If  you
haven't caused a screen redraw yet,  you can press ESC U and force
one. (Usually, this will not be necessary because you will want to
adjust the text's position after it is typed.  This will cause the
screen to be redrawn).

REPOSITIONING A TEXT OBJECT

     After  you  type  your  name,   you  will  probably  want  to
reposition the text. If so, press the SHIFT key and the left mouse
button. The pointer will change to a "hand" and you can reposition
the text anywhere you desire by moving the mouse.

     You may want to switch back to SHOW ACTUAL SIZE from the VIEW
drop down menu. This will make the displayed text easier to read.

IMPORTANT NOTE

     Some screen characters may appear "blocky" or "hard to  read"
on  the screen.  However,  the characters will be "smoothed"  when
printed so you get the most attractive output possible.

     For instance:

     Highlight  your  name  (which  you  just  typed)  and  select
ITALICIZE from the STYLE drop down menu.  While the text is  still
highlighted, select BOLD from the STYLE menu.

     Dehighlight  the  text  by clicking  the  left  mouse  button
(pressing any character key will also cause a dehighlight).

     While  the "stylized" text does not look very  attractive  on
the screen, it will look professional when it prints.

     Select SHOW FULL PAGE.

     Select  SHOW  ACTUAL SIZE from the VIEW drop  down  menu  and
continue.

IMPORTING A PICTURE

     With Publishing Partner,  you can load any Degas or Neochrome
picture.  If you are working with a color system, the picture will
be converted to black and white. Let's import a picture.

     Select the "PIC" option from the toolbox.

     Select IMPORT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select the file named "PICTURE.TNY" and select the OK box  to
continue.

     You  will see the picture has been imported  into  Publishing
Partner's picture buffer.

     Lets copy the picture into our document.

HIGHLIGHT THE PICTURE

     Position  the mouse pointer at the upper left corner  of  the
"No bugs" picture and click the left mouse button one time.

     Move  the mouse pointer (you will see the rubber band  effect
in the background showing the area which you are highlighting)  to
the  bottom right corner of the picture and click the  left  mouse
button again.

COPY PICTURE TO THE BUFFER

     Select  COPY  TO BUFFER from the EDIT drop  down  menu.  This
copies the highlighted section of the picture to the buffer.

     Select  the  arrow (OBJECT EDITOR)  from  the  toolbox.  This
returns you to your document.

     Select COPY FROM BUFFER from the EDIT drop down menu.

PLACING THE PICTURE

     You  will notice the mouse pointer has changed to a  "picture
frame" icon.  This indicates you have a graphic object/picture  in
the copy buffer.

     If  you  move  the mouse pointer over  a  scroller  bar,  the
pointer  will  change  and permit you to  use  the  scroller  bars
without disturbing the information in the copy buffer.

     If  you  click  on any unselected  option  from  the  toolbox
(except  the  page  forward/backward arrows) you  will  clear  the
"picture frame" icon.  However, the information in the copy buffer
will not be disturbed.

     Use  the  scroller  bars and position the  page  so  you  are
viewing the upper right section of the page.

     You  will  see there is an open area ( contains  no  text  or
graphics)  near  the  upper right section of the  page  under  the
banner headline. It is here that we want to place the picture.

     Once  the  mouse  pointer is positioned where  you  want  the
picture  to appear (the upper left corner of the  "picture  frame"
represents the upper left corner of the picture),  click the  left
mouse button.

SIZING THE PICTURE

     The  picture has now been placed in the  document.  You  will
notice  it doesn't fit very well.  Let's use the sizing squares  on
the  corners of the picture and correct this.  By positioning  the
mouse pointer over any sizing square and then pressing and holding
down  the left mouse button,  you can move the mouse and size  the
picture.  When you release the mouse button,  The picture will  be
placed at that location.

MOVING A PICTURE

     If you simultaneously press the SHIFT key and the left  mouse
button, you can move the picture by simply moving the mouse.

     Using  the mouse,  size and position the picture so  it  fits
properly in the upper right section of the page.

     Using the sizing squares to size a picture is convenient, but
it  is not the most accurate method for reducing and  enlarging  a
picture.

EDITING A PICTURE

     While   the  picture  is  still  selected  (contains   sizing
squares), simultaneously press the "ALTERNATE" key and the "E" key
(stands for edit).

     You  will  see a dialog box describing the  location  of  the
picture's  upper  left corner,  the percentage of  horizontal  and
vertical  reduction  or  enlargement,  and  the  contrast  of  the
picture.

     Let's reduce the size of the original picture by exactly 1/2.

     Use the arrow keys on the computer and position the cursor on
the  line labeled,  "X Percent:" press the "Esc" key to clear  the
line and type "50" (for 50%). Don't press the RETURN key yet.

     Again  use  the arrow keys on the computer and  position  the
cursor on the line labeled,  "Y Percent:" press the "Esc" key  and
type "50".

     This  will  cause  an exact 50%  reduction  of  the  original
picture placed in the document.

     Select  the  OK  box to continue.  (The  contrast  option  is
explained in the reference section of this manual).

     As stated earlier, you can move the picture two ways:

     1)  Position  the pointer over the picture (or  any  object),
press and hold down the left mouse button. The pointer will change
to a hand and you can move the picture by moving the mouse.

     2)  Regardless of the pointer's position on the  screen,  you
can simultaneously hold down the SHIFT key and left mouse  button.
The  pointer will change to a "hand" and you can move the  picture
(or any selected object) by moving the mouse.

     Let's save the file we've been working on.

SAVING A DOCUMENT

     Select the SAVE DOCUMENT option from the FILE drop down menu.

     You will see the familiar Atari ITEM SELECTOR and the  prompt
"Save Document" in the upper right corner of the screen.

     The document name,  "Tutorial",  will be displayed under  the
prompt "Selection".

     Publishing  Partner remembers the name of the document  which
you LOADED and displays it when you select SAVE DOCUMENT.

     You  can  rename the document so the original  tutorial  file
remains intact.

     Press  the  ESC  key to clear the  line  which  is  currently
displaying the document's name, "Tutorial". You will want to use a
filename which will help you remember the information contained in
the document which you are about to save.

     Type "Learning.DOC".

     Select "OK" to initiate the SAVE operation.

     If  you  do  not  enter  a  file  extender  (i.e.  LEARNING),
Publishing  Partner  will  automatically add  the  file  extension
".DOC".

     If  you enter a different file extension from  the  suggested
extender ".DOC",  then the file will be saved exactly as you typed
it.

     Let's  print  the  document we just saved.  If  you  will  be
printing  to an Epson,  Epson graphics compatible,  or other  GDOS
supported printer,  you can skip the next section of this tutorial
and read "Printing with GDOS".

CONFIGURING FOR POSTSCRIPT

     If you are using a Postscript compatible printer such as  the
Apple Laserwriter or PS 800,  you will need to load the Postscript
printer driver before you can print. Here's how:

     Select CONFIGURE from the FILE drop down menu.

     The  second  line  in the dialog box  reads  "Output  Driver:
Metafile Driver".  This is the name of the currently loaded  print
driver.  Since you want to print to a postscript device instead of
a  GDOS device,  you will need to LOAD the postscript driver  from
the program disk.

     Insert the Publishing partner program disk in Drive A.

     Select the LOAD option from the CONFIGURE dialog box.

     You will see the familiar Atari ITEM SELECTOR.

     Select the file named "PS.PRT" and select "OK" to verify your
selection.

     Your  system should be configured to match the baud  rate  of
the device which you are transmitting to.  For example, if you are
printing  to  and Apple Laserwriter,  the settings  should  be  as
follows:
     9600 Baud
     No Parity
     Full Duplex
     8 Bits/Char
     Xon/Xoff - On
     Rts/Cts - Off

     You  can specify these settings using the "Set RS232  Config"
accessory which came with your Atari ST and choose SAVE DESKTOP to
any disk which you will be loading the computer from.

     If you will be using a postscript compatible printer that has
a parallel port, you should select the "Paralled Port" option from
the CONFIGURE dialog box.

     When  you  are satisfied with the settings displayed  in  the
CONFIGURE dialog box, select "OK".

     Select  SAVE PREFERENCE from the FILE drop down menu to  save
the  postscript configuration to your Publishing  Partner  program
disk.

PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT

     When  the  disk in the drive  stops  spinning,  select  PRINT
DOCUMENT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select the PRINT option from the dialog box.

     The  pages  which  you are printing will be  flashed  on  the
screen and you will then see a dialog box indicating that data  is
being transmitted to the printer.

     If any messages appear in the dialog box,  you should  select
the STOP option at the bottom of the dialog box and reinitiate the
PRINT operation.

     When  the file is finished printing,  you will see  the  word
"Done" at the bottom of the dialog box. Use the mouse and position
the  pointer  over the "RETURN" prompt,  press and hold  the  left
mouse button for approximately 2 seconds and then release it.  You
will then return to your document.

PRINTING WITH GDOS

     Let's print the document we have been working on.

     Select PRINT DOCUMENT from the FILE drop down menu.

     You  do not need to change any of the settings  displayed  in
the dialog box.

     Select PRINT from the dialog box.

     The  pages  which  you are printing will be  flashed  on  the
screen. You will then see the familiar Atari ITEM SELECTOR and the
prompt "Print to Disk" in the upper right corner of the screen.

     Since  Publishing Partner uses GDOS for  printing,  you  will
have to first print your file to disk.  You can then run the  GDOS
output program to print the document.

     You  must  give the file a name which will be used  when  the
file is printed to disk.

     Type  "PRINT.GEM"  and  select the "OK" box  to  verify  your
selection.

     The disk in the drive will spin and the file will be  written
to disk.

     CAUTION:  When you name a file at PRINT - DO NOT use the same
name that you used for the SAVE DOCUMENT option.  If you  do,  you
will not be able to reload the file into Publishing Partner.

     It is suggested that you always use the file extender  ".GEM"
when naming a file from the PRINT option.  This insures that  your
files  will be automatically displayed in the file directory  when
you  run  the  GDOS output program.  When  the  file  is  finished
printing to disk,  you will see a dialog box with the word  "DONE"
displayed at the bottom left corner of the dialog box.

     Use  the  mouse  and position the  pointer  over  the  prompt
"RETURN" at the bottom right corner of the dialog box,  press  and
hold down the left mouse button for approximately two seconds  and
then release the left mouse button.  You will then be returned  to
your document.

     You are now ready to print the document using the GDOS output
program.

     Select  QUIT  from the FILE drop down menu to return  to  the
desktop.

LOAD THE OUTPUT PROGRAM

     Load  the  "OUTPUT.PRG" from the publishing  Partner  program
disk.

     Select  ADD NAME from the FILE drop down menu and select  the
file you want to print.

     Select START OUTPUT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Use the mouse and select PRINTER from the dialog box and then
select "OK" to verify your selection.

     Depending  on  the printer which you are  using,  it  is  not
uncommon to wait a few minutes for a printout.

     When the document has finished printing, select QUIT from the
FILE drop down menu and return to the desktop.

     You  can  then  reload  the  publishing  Partner  program  to
continue.

     Refer  to the section titled "Text Editor" in  the  reference
section  of  the  manual for  further  explanation  on  Publishing
Partner's  word  processing capabilities such  as  macros,  cursor
moves, and keyboard equivalents.

CHAPTER 3

     STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMON OPERATIONS

SETTING UP YOUR PAGE

     When  Publishing Partner is first loaded,  you will  see  the
menu bar at the top of the screen,  the TOOLBOX on the right  side
of  the screen,  horizontal and vertical scroll bars  (bottom  and
right sides of the screen), and a background grid.

     The  "grided"  area represents a blank piece  of  paper.  The
default page size is for an 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch document. If you
want to use a different page size,  select the NEW DOCUMENT option
from the FILE drop down menu. You can choose from one of the seven
preset  page  sizes or you can enter your own page size  (see  NEW
DOCUMENT in the reference section for more detail if necessary).

     If  you  wish  to change the  default  page  size,  see  SAVE
PREFERENCES (in the reference section).

ENTERING TEXT

     Publishing   Partner  is  different  from  most  other   word
processors  because  when  the  program  is  loaded,   you   don't
automatically "drop" into a text editor.  Publishing Partner, like
a pisce of paper, presents you with a blank page.

     If you want to enter several lines of text,  you will want to
create a column for it.  If you just want to enter a "heading"  or
"headline", you probably won't need to create a column for it.

     Once  you become familiar with Publishing  Partner,  you  may
find  it  convenient  to  LOAD  "boilerplate"  (an  outline  of  a
previously created page i.e. 1 column document, 2 column document,
1  column  document with letterhead at the top of the  page  etc.)
files can then be RELOADED and modified as needed.

     Publishing Partner permits you to enter text onto a page in 2
ways.  You can either create a column and enter text into  it,  or
you can enter text outside a column.  Either way,  you can  easily
reposition  the  text anywhere at any time.  As  an  example  lets
create columns both ways and enter some text.

CREATE COLUMNS FROM THE CREATE-LAYOUT MENU

     Select CREATE COLUMNS from the CREATE-LAYOUT drop down menu.

     Using this dialog box,  you can let Publishing Partner create
the columns for you. Enter the:

     Top, bottom, left, and right margins for your page.

     Desired number of columns.

     Desired space between each column.

     And the pages you want the columns to appear on.

     You  also have the choice of linking the columns together  so
if  one  column becomes filled with text,  it  will  automatically
overflow into the next column.

     As an example,  let's create a document with 3 short  columns
at the top of the page.

     Select the CREATE COLUMNS option.

     Use  the arrow keys on the computer and position the  pointer
next to the prompt "Left Margin".

     Press  the ESC key to clear the line and enter ".5" inch  for
the left margin, "1.5" inches for the right margin, "2" inches for
the  top margin and "7" inches for the bottom margin.  You do  not
have to enter the suffix "in" to designate inches.

     Use  the up and down arrow keys on the computer to move  from
line to line.

     Enter "3" for the number of columns.

     Do not change ".25" for "Space between columns".

     Under the option "Pages:",  enter the number "1" next to  the
prompts "from:" and "To:".

     Use the mouse and select the option "Only Route This Page".

     Select the OK box.

     You  will now see three small columns located at the  top  of
the page.

PURPOSE OF COLUMNS

     With  Publishing Partner you can enter text either inside  or
outside  a  column.   Each  method  has  its  own  advantages  and
disadvantages.  If you plan on entering several lines of text such
as  with a paragraph,  you will want to enter that text  inside  a
column.

     However,  if you want to enter a banner headline or notations
out in the margins,  you may find it more convenient to enter that
text outside a column. In either case, the choice is up to you.

     The  best  way to show the advantages of entering  text  both
inside and outside columns is through an example.

IMPORTING TEXT

     Use  the  mouse and position the pointer  over  the  leftmost
column and click the left mouse button.

     You  should  see a blinking cursor indicating the  column  is
ready to receive text.  If you don't,  click the left mouse button
on the column again until the blinking cursor appears.

     In the interest of saving time,  let's import text into the 3
columns  just created.  If you wish,  you can enter your own  text
into the columns. The next 2 instructions assume you don't want to
enter the text. If you do, then start with the 3rd instruction.

     Select the IMPORT option from the FILE drop down menu.

     Use  the mouse and select the file "COLUMN.TXT" and click  on
the "OK" box to load that file.

     All 3 columns should now be filled with text.

REPOSITIONING COLUMNS

     When text is entered into a column, it becomes a part of that
column. Therefore, if you move or resize a column, any text inside
the column will automatically reflow within it.

     Use  the mouse and select the OBJECT EDITOR (the  arrow  from
the toolbox).

     Position the mouse pointer over the first column on the left,
press and hold down the left mouse button.  The mouse pointer will
change to a HAND indicating you can now move the column.

     While still holding down the left mouse button,  start moving
the  mouse.  You will see an outline of the column which you  have
selected.  Position the selected column approximately 1 inch above
its original position and release the left mouse button.

     You will now see the text has "reflowed" within  column's new
position.

RESIZING A COLUMN

     Now  that we have changed the position of the  column,  let's
change the size of the column.

     Since the column we just moved is still selected,  you should
see "sizing squares" on the corners of the column.

     Position  the  mouse  pointer over the  sizing  square  which
appears  in the lower right corner of the column,  press and  hold
down the left mouse button.

     While still holding down the left mouse button,  start moving
the mouse.  You will see that you are adjusting the column's lower
right side.

     Extend  the  column's length approximately 1  inch  and  then
release the left mouse button.

     You  will see the text has automatically reflowed within  the
column's new dimensions.  Since the column's were "text routed" to
one another,  you will notice the text between all the columns has
been readjusted accordingly.  (This will only occur if the columns
are linked together via "text routing").

WHEN A COLUMN BECOMES FILLED

     If  a column is not "text routed" (linked) to another  column
and  you  adjust  the column's size to the point  where  the  text
inside that column no longer fits,  you will see a "+" sign in the
bottom right corner of the column.

     This  indicated there is more text in the column than can  be
displayed. At this point you have several options. You can:

     1.  Adjust  the "point size" (size of the characters) of  the
characters so that more characters will fit in the same space.

     2  Adjust  the "Char spacing" (amount of space  between  each
character) so more characters will fit in the same space.

     3.  Adjust  the "leading" (line spacing by 1/144 of  an  inch
increments) so that more characters will fit in the same space.

     4.  Readjust the size of the column so it is large enough  to
display all its associated text.

     5.  You could use the mouse pointer and click on the "+" sign
and  pick  up  the overflowed text and then place  it  in  another
column by clicking on another column.

CREATING COLUMNS MANUALLY

     Instead of using the CREATE COLUMNS option to create columns,
you  can  also use the OBJECT EDITOR (select the  arrow  from  the
toolbox).

     Use the mouse and select the OBJECT EDITOR (select the  arrow
from the toolbox).

     Position the pointer where you want to place a column,  press
and hold down the left mouse button.

     Start moving the mouse diagonally and to the right.  You will
see  and  outline of the column you are  creating.  When  you  are
satisfied  with the column's size and position,  just release  the
left mouse button.

ADJUST A COLUMNS POSITION

     If  you  wish to adjust the position of the column  you  just
created,  you can do so easily. Just simultaneously press and hold
down the SHIFT key and left mouse button.  The mouse pointer  will
change to a HAND and you can move the column by moving the  mouse.
When  you  release the left mouse button and the  SHIFT  key,  the
selected column will be pasted to the screen.

FORCING THE COLUMN CREATION

     There may be times when you want to create a column on top of
an  existing column or graphic object  (i.e.  line,  box,  circle,
etc.).

     If such a case arises:

     Select the OBJECT EDITOR (the arrow from the toolbox).

     Simultaneously  press and hold down the CONTROL key  and  the
left mouse button.

     You can then create a column by simply moving the mouse.

     Release  the CONTROL key and the left mouse button  when  you
are ready to "paste" the new column on the page.

     Following  these instructions,  you can create a  new  column
whether a column or graphic object rest below the mouse pointer or
not.

CREATING TEXT OUTSIDE A COLUMN

     In  addition to entering text inside a column,  you can  also
enter outside a column.

     Select the TEXT option from the toolbox.

     Use  the  mouse and position the pointer where you  want  the
text to appear.

     Simultaneously  press  the  CONTROL key and  the  left  mouse
button.

     You  will  see  a  "nul"  symbol  appear  under  the  pointer
indicating you are creating text outside a column.

     Start  typing.  You will see that you are now  entering  text
which is independent of any columns.

     You  can enter text with attributes or you can  highlight  it
and then assign special attributes (i.e.  font,  point size, bold,
char. spacing, etc.).

     In  this manual,  text created outside a column  is  commonly
referred to as a TEXT OBJECT.  The reason for this terminology  is
to distinguish between text entered inside and outside a column.

REPOSITIONING A TEXT OBJECT

     If  you are entering text outside a column,  you can  at  any
time simultaneously press and hold down the SHIFT key and the left
mouse  button.  The  pointer  will change to a HAND  and  you  can
reposition the text by simply moving the mouse.  When you  release
the  SHIFT key and the left mouse button,  the text will  then  be
pasted to the page.

SELECTING A TEXT OBJECT

     If  you  wish to edit a text object,  just use the  mouse  to
position  the pointer over the desired text object and  click  the
left mouse button one time.  You should then see a blinking cursor
indicating you are free to edit the text.

DELETING A TEXT OBJECT

     Deleting  text  which has been placed outside a column  is  a
little different from deleting text inside a column. You will need
to:

     Select the object editor (the arrow from the toolbox).

     Use the mouse and position the pointer over the desired  text
object  and  click  the left mouse button.  You will  know  it  is
selected  if  you see sizing squares on the corners  of  the  text
object.

     You  can then delete the currently selected object by  either
selecting  the  DELETE option from the EDIT drop down menu  or  by
pressing the BACKSPACE (or DELETE) key.

     Text  objects can't be sized like graphic objects due to  the
characteristics associated with text data.  The sizing squares are
used to show the text is currently selected object. If you want to
adjust  the size of the characters,  use the  FONTS/POINTS  option
from the STYLE drop down menu.

MODIFYING AN ENTIRE COLUMN

     If you wish to modify the attributes (point  size,  char/line
spacing,  bold,  etc.) of an entire column,  you can do so without
highlighting  all  the  text.  If you wish to  try  this,  do  the
following:

     Select the OBJECT EDITOR (the arrow from the TOOLBOX).

     Position the mouse pointer over the desired column and  click
the left mouse button.

     Select a desired attribute such as BOLD.

     You  will see a dialog box prompting you to verify  that  you
want  to  change  the attributes of the  text  within  the  entire
column. Select OK to make the changes.

HINTS ABOUT TEXT DISPLAY

     Publishing  Partner's  screen fonts  (character  style,  i.e.
Helvetica,  Times  Roman) use a base character size of 12  points.
When  you adjust a character's size (its point  size),  Publishing
Partner mathematically reduces or enlarges the text to conform  to
your  selection.  Consequently,  some  character sizes  will  look
better and redraw faster than others. However, when the characters
are printed,  they will appear as sharp as you printer is  capable
of printing.

     If a character appears "blocky" on the screen,  don't  worry.
They will be "smoothed" at print out.

     Softlogik  has taken into account that some screen sizes  are
faster and more readable then others.

     The text in the column which you are reading is 10 points  in
size.  In fact, all the columns in this manual have been set to 10
points.  However,  when the SHOW ACTUAL SIZE option from the  VIEW
drop down menu is selected, the text is difficult to read.

ADJUSTING THE TEXT DISPLAY

     In order to compensate for this,  you can adjust your viewing
(reduce  or  enlarge  it) so you are always  viewing  a  12  point
simulation.  While  this  may sound more complicated than  it  is,
let's use an example to clarify how this works.

     Create a column.

     Enter text using a 10 point character size.

     Select SHOW/SET USER SCALE.

     Press the ESC key to clear the line,  enter "10p" and  select
OK to continue.

     You  will now see the characters on the screen appear  as  if
they are in 12 points.

     Reselect the SHOW/SET USER SCALE.

     You  will  notice  it  now  says  you  are  viewing  a   120%
enlargement of the page.

     Enter text using a 15 point character size.

     Select SHOW/SET USER SCALE.

     Enter "15p" and select OK to continue.

     You will now see the 15 point characters on the screen appear
as if they are in 12 points.

     Reselect the SHOW/SET USER SCALE.

     You will notice it now says you are viewing an 80%  reduction
of the page.

     By manipulating the viewing percentage of the page,  you  can
adjust  the screen display so you can always get the quickest  and
best display possible.

     Remember,  when you change the SHOW/SET USER SCALE,  you  are
only adjusting the viewing percentage of the page.  When the  page
prints,  it will print in its actual size (100%).  You can  select
SHOW ACTUAL SIZE to return to the normal viewing mode.

MOVING FROM PAGE TO PAGE

     Near  the bottom of the toolbox you will see an  option  that
reads "Page:  1". The number represents the page you are currently
viewing.  If  the  number were a 3,  it would mean  that  you  are
viewing page 3 of your document.

     Using the mouse, you can "click" on the left and right arrows
to move forward or backwards one page at a time.

     You  can "jump" to a particular page by "clicking" the  mouse
pointer on the displayed page number.  You will then see a  dialog
box asking you to enter the page number you wish to view.

MASTER PAGES UNLIMITED HEADERS AND FOOTERS

     You  will  see 2 page icons above the displayed  page  number
labeled "L" and "R". These icons represent left and right pages of
a double sided document.

     Most word processors let you create items called headers  and
footers which are merely a repeating line at the top and bottom of
every page.

     Publishing  Partner  has taken this idea  one  step  further.
Suppose you want something such as a line,  along with your  name,
to  appear on every page.  Click on the "L" or "R" icon will  show
your  master  page  (items which repeat on  every  page)  and  the
displayed  page number will change to reflect the master page  you
are  viewing.  If  you are working with a single  sided  document,
selecting  either  the "L" or "R" will display your  master  page.
Anything  you place on the master page will repeat on every  left-
hand (or right-hand) page in your document.  You can repeat lines,
shapes,  pictures,  chapter  names,  etc.  on every page  in  your
document by simply placing it on a master page.

     If  you  are working with a double sided document  and  place
information on the left master page, that information will only be
repeated on even numbered documents.  If information is placed  on
the  right master page,  it will be repeated on all  odd  numbered
pages.  If you are working with a single sided document and  place
information on a master page, it will be repeated on every page.

AUTOMATIC PAGE NUMBERING

     Publishing  Partner  will  automatically  page  number   your
documents if you desire.

     If you want the page number to appear on every page, just use
the  INSERT  PAGE NUMBER command on the master page.  Here  is  an
example:

     Use the mouse and select the left master page.

     Position  the mouse pointer in the upper right corner of  the
page  and  simultaneously  press the CONTROL key  and  left  mouse
button (this is the command to place text outside a column).

     You will see a blinking cursor next to the text object prompt
"nul".

     Select INSERT PAGE NUMBER from the CREATE-LAYOUT menu.

     You will see the letter "m" indicating you have inserted  the
auto page number command on the master page.

     Select  the  right arrow key under the page  number  icon  to
advance to page one.

     You  will notice the number "1" appears where the  auto  page
number command was inserted.

     If  you use the INSERT PAGE NUMBER command on the page  other
than  a master page,  then the current page number will appear  on
only that page.

TEXT ROUTING

     When  you have several columns in a document,  there will  be
times when a column will become filled with text.  If a column has
not been "text routed" and it becomes filled with text,  you  will
see  a  "+" sign in the bottom right corner of  the  screen.  This
indicates you have more information than will fit in the column.

ROUTING OVERFLOWED TEXT

     You can "pick up" and place the overflowed text by doing  the
following:

     Position  the mouse pointer over the "+" sign and  click  one
time on the left mouse button.

     Make sure the TEXT option from the toolbox is selected.

     You will see the cursor has changed to a "document  overflow"
icon  and  the prompt "Select Column - To" appears  in  the  upper
right corner of the screen.

     As the prompt indicates, you need to select a column to place
the "overflowed" text.

PLACING OVERFLOWED TEXT

     Use the mouse and position the "document overflow" icon  over
a desired column and click the left mouse button. (You can use the
scroller  bars  to move around the page or the page  selector  and
move to any page).

     If  you accidentally select the text overflow  button  ("+"),
just  move the pointer over to the TEXT option in the toolbox  and
click the left mouse button. This will abort the operation.

     The overflowed text would then be placed at the beginning  of
the column you just selected.

     These  two  columns are now linked  together.  If  you  start
editing the contents of the first column,  the text in the  second
column will be affected.  While editing, if you add text to column
1, any overflow text will automatically be "pushed" into column 2.
The  opposite is true if you delete text from column  1.  Text  in
column 2 may be "pushed back" into column 1.

AUTO TEXT ROUTING

     When  you  use  the CREATE COLUMNS  option,  you  can  create
several pages which contain the identical column layout.  You  can
also  specify  how you want the columns to  be  text  routed.  For
example:

     Select CREATE COLUMNS from the CREATE-LAYOUT drop down menu.

     Leave  the default margin settings,  number of  columns,  and
space between columns intact.

     Under  the prompt "Pages:",  enter a "1" next to  the  prompt
"From:" and a "3" next to the prompt "To:".

     Use the mouse and select the "Route entire document" option.

     Select the OK box to continue.

     If  you  followed this set of  instructions,  you  will  have
created a 3 page document with 3 columns on each page. Each column
will be text routed to the next column.  The last column on page 1
will be routed to the first column on page 2.

     From  the instructions above,  if you had chosen "Only  route
this  page"  instead of "Route entire  document",  then  only  the
columns  within  each page would have been text routed -  Not  the
entire document.

GRAPHICS

     The  term  graphics  in Publishing  Partner  refers  to  text
outside a column,  pictures,  lines,  boxes, and the drawing tools
available  from  the TOOLBOX.  The first part of chapter  3  dealt
primarily with text functions available within Publishing Partner.
This section of chapter 3 will introduce you to some of Publishing
Partner's graphic capabilities.

IMPORT PICTURES

     Publishing Partner will use any picture which has been  saved
in either a Degas, Neochrome or Tiny format. Here's how:

     Use  the  mouse  and select the "PIC"  (stands  for  picture)
option from the toolbox.

     Select IMPORT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select the name of picture you wish to load and click on  the
OK box to continue.

     Hint  - for best results use a picture that was created in  a
resolution which you are now using (i.e.  if you are working in hi
res,  use  a  picture that was created in high res  or  if  you're
working  in medium res,  use a picture that was created in  medium
res).

     You  will see the picture has now been loaded into the  "PIC"
section of the toolbox.

PLACING THE PICTURE

     You can copy any section of the picture into your document.

     Position the pointer in the upper left corner of the  section
you wish to copy, press and hold down the left mouse button.

     While  still  holding down the left mouse  button,  move  the
mouse and highlight a section of the picture you wish to copy into
your document. You will see a dotted box indicating the section of
the picture you're highlighting.

     When  the desired section is highlighted,  release  the  left
mouse button.

     Select  the  COPY TO BUFFER option from the  EDIT  drop  down
menu.

     The highlighted section of the picture is now resting in  the
copy buffer.

     Select the OBJECT EDITOR (the arrow from the toolbox).

     Once  again you will be viewing your document.  You  can  now
place the picture anywhere on any page.

     Select  the COPY FROM BUFFER option from the EDIT  drop  down
menu.

     The  mouse  pointer  will now change  to  a  "picture  frame"
indicating you are ready to place a picture (or any graphic object
such as a line, box, circle, etc.) in your document.

     Position the "picture frame" mouse pointer where you want the
picture  to  be placed in the document and click  the  left  mouse
button.  (The upper left corner of the "picture frame"  represents
the upper left corner of the picture).

SIZING A PICTURE

     You  will now see the picture you just copied.  By using  the
mouse,  you can size the picture by "selecting" and "dragging" the
sizing squares which appear on each corner of the picture. You can
also reposition the picture by placing the mouse pointer over  the
picture and holding down the left button.  The pointer will change
to  a  hand  and you can move the picture  by  moving  the  mouse.
Releasing  the  left  mouse button will cause the  picture  to  be
redrawn on the screen.

     If you want an exact reduction or enlargement of the original
picture,  simultaneously press the ALTERNATE and "E" keys  (stands
for edit).  When the dialog box appears on the screen, release the
keys.

     This  dialog  box  displays information  pertaining  to  your
picture.  It  shows  the  percentage which the  picture  has  been
reduced or enlarged from its original size along with the position
of the upper left corner of the picture.  You can also adjust  the
intensity  which  the  picture  is  displayed  on  the  screen  by
adjusting the CONTRAST.

     Enter  your own number for reduction and enlargement and  see
for yourself how this works.

     You  can  reposition a picture by adjusting the "X"  and  "Y"
coordinates  as displayed in the upper section of the dialog  box.
The dialog box uses the unit of measure that was selected from the
MEASURING   SYSTEM  option.   You  do  not  have  to   enter   the
abbreviation.

     Selecting  the OK option from the dialog box will  cause  any
changes to be executed.

DRAWING SHAPES

     Using Publishing Partner's toolbox located on the right  side
of the screen, you can draw circles, ellipses, square boxes, round
corner  boxes,  vertical  and horizontal  lines,  diagonal  lines,
polygons, and freehand.

     The procedure for drawing circles,  boxes, and straight lines
are all the same. Here is an example:

     Select the "square" option from the toolbox.

     It will appear in inverse video indicating it is selected.

     Move  the mouse pointer into your document (the grided  area)
and  click the left mouse button one time to mark the  upper  left
corner of the box.

     You  will see the prompt "Click on the points" in  the  upper
right  corner of the screen.  This is a short reminder on  how  to
draw an object (such as a square).

     Still using the mouse, move the pointer down and to the right
(as  you move the mouse,  you will see an impression of the  shape
you are drawing in the background).

     Click  the left mouse button once again to define  the  box's
endpoint.

     If  you make a mistake while drawing,  click the right  mouse
button.  This allows you to start over. Your box will be drawn. If
you wish to DELETE the object you just drew,  press the  BACKSPACE
key.

     You can follow the same steps for circles and lines.

DRAWING POLYGONS

     Drawing polygons works similar to drawing boxes.

     Select  the  POLYGON option (rests below the  vert/horz  line
option).

     Position the mouse on the page (the gridded area) and click 3
random points using the mouse.

     Use  the mouse and position the pointer over the first  point
you clicked and click the left mouse button again.

     You will see you have just completed a polygon.

DRAWING FREEHAND

     This  is  the  only option which you don't  click  points  to
define an object.

     Select  the "freehand" option from the toolbox  (rests  below
the diagonal line option).

     Position the pointer on the page (the gridded area) and  then
press and hold down the left mouse button.

     While still holding down the left mouse button,  start moving
the mouse.

     You will see that you are drawing a continuous line. When you
release  the  left mouse button,  the line will be pasted  to  the
page.

     If you press the DELETE key after you have drawn a line,  the
line will be deleted.

EDITING A GRAPHIC OBJECT

     If you wish to edit an object  (line,  box,  picture,  etc.),
select the arrow from the toolbox and then click on the object you
wish  to edit.  Sizing squares will appear on the corner's of  the
object.

     You can then edit the object by:"dragging" the sizing  square
and adjust its size, move it by holding the left mouse button down
over the object, or delete it by pressing the BACKSPACE key.

SELECTING A LINE PATTERN

     Select the option titled "LINE" from the toolbox

     You will see a dialog box displaying the different line types
available for use. When you draw an object such as a line, box, or
circle,  you can specify the type of line used,  the width of  the
line, and the shape of the line's beginning and ending points.

     Using the mouse,  you can select a line attribute to be  used
the next time a line is drawn.

     A  check mark will appear next to the line  attributes  which
are  currently selected.  Clicking the mouse on another line  type
will cause a check mark to appear next to the selected option.

     While the LINE dialog box will permit you to select a line up
to 6 points wide,  you can actually create a line up to 72  points
(1 inch thick). Here's how:

     Draw a line using the horz/vert line option from the toolbox.

     Immediately after the line is drawn, simultaneously press the
ALTERNATE key and the "E" key (stands for edit). This will display
a dialog box describing the line you just drew.

     Use  the  arrow keys and move the cursor down to  the  prompt
"Line Width:".

     Press the ESC key to clear the line and enter the number 72.

     Select the OK box.

     The line will change to a thickness of 72 points.

The  other options in the dialog box are explained in more  detail
in the reference section of this manual (see toolbox).

SELECTING A FILL PATTERN

     Whenever you draw a circle,  box,  or polygon,  the  enclosed
shape will always have an associated fill pattern.

     Select the option labeled "FILL" from the toolbox.

     You will see a dialog box containing 48 fill patterns with  a
check mark appearing next to the selected fill pattern.

     If you wish to select a different fill pattern, just click on
the one you desire. A check mark will appear next to it indicating
it is now the currently selected fill pattern.

     If "CLEAR" is chosen,  it means you don't want a fill pattern
when a closed shape (circle,  box, polygon) is drawn. Following is
an example:

     Select FILL from the toolbox.

     Select the fill pattern labeled "Clear".

     Draw a box.

     Simultaneously press the "Alternate" and "E" keys.

     Use  the arrow keys on the computer's keyboard and  move  the
cursor down to the line labeled "Fill Type:".

     Press the "ESC" key to clear the line.

     Enter the number "20" and select the OK box.

     You will see the fill pattern has now changed.

     You  can  use  the  "Alt E" command any  time  an  object  is
selected (contains sizing squares).

SAVING A DOCUMENT

     When  you  are  ready to save a  document,  select  the  SAVE
DOCUMENT option from the FILE drop down menu.

     When you select this option,  you will see the familiar  ITEM
SELECTOR with a list of files having the filename extender ".DOC".
If you are saving a particular file for the first time,  you  will
need to enter a unique filename.  Make sure the document which you
are saving has the file extension of ".DOC".  otherwise,  the file
will not be displayed when you select LOAD DOCUMENT.  When you are
satisfied with the filename you entered,  select "OK" and the file
will be saved.

     If  you are resaving the file that was most recently  loaded,
Publishing Partner will remember that filename and display it when
you  select  SAVE DOCUMENT.  The filename is displayed  under  the
prompt "Selection:" in the ITEM SELECTOR.  If you wish to use  the
same filename when you resave the document,  just select "OK"  and
you will see a dialog box reminding you that you are resaving over
an  existing file.  REMEMBER:  Saving a document with  a  filename
which  has already been used causes the file on disk to be  erased
and written over by the one you are saving now.  If you decide  to
use a different filename, you can CANCEL and rename the file.

LOAD DOCUMENT

     The LOAD DOCUMENT option allows you to load a file which  has
already been saved.  When you select the LOAD DOCUMENT option, you
will  see  a  directory of files which  have  the  file  extension
".DOC".

     You can select the file you wish to load by either typing the
name of the desired document or "double clicking" on the  filename
from  the directory and that file will be loaded.  If  you  select
this option while you still have a file in memory,  you will see a
dialog  box  prompting you to save your  current  document  before
proceeding.

PRINTING A DOCUMENT

     When  you  are ready to print a document,  select  the  PRINT
DOCUMENT option from the file drop down menu.

PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT

     If you are using a Postscript compatible laser  printer,  you
can print directly from Publishing Partner.  Just select the  LOAD
option from the CONFIGURE dialog box and load the file "PS.PRT".

     Once the Postscript driver is loaded, you can print your file
using the PRINT DOCUMENT option.

PRINTING WITH GDOS

     If  you are using an Epson,  Epson  graphics  compatible,  or
another GDOS print driver, you will need to do the following:

     Select  CONFIGURE  and verify the GDOS "Metafile  Driver"  is
loaded.  If  not,  select the LOAD option from the dialog box  and
load the file"META.PRT".

     Select PRINT DOCUMENT from the FILE drop down menu.

     You  can specify the number of copies to print,  if you  want
the copies collated,  the percentage of reduction or  enlargement,
and is you want to print color separations.

     If you wish to change any of the settings, just use the mouse
to   select  the  appropriate  option  and  enter   your   desired
preference.

     When you are ready to proceed, select the PRINT OPTION.

     The  pages  which  you are printing will be  flashed  on  the
screen.  You will then see the familiar Atari ITEM SELECTOR and in
the  upper  right  corner of the screen you will  see  the  prompt
"Print to Disk".

     Publishing  Partner uses GDOS for  printing.  Therefore,  you
will have to first print you files to disk.  You can then run  the
GDOS output program to print a document.

     You  must  give the file a name which will be used  when  the
file is printed to disk and select "OK" to initiate the operation.

     CAUTION:  When you name a file at PRINT - DO NOT use the same
name that you used for the SAVE DOCUMENT option.  If you  do,  you
will not be able to reload the file into Publishing Partner.

     The disk in the drive will spin and the file will be  written
to disk.

     It is suggested that you always use the file extender  ".GEM"
when naming a file from the PRINT option.  This insures that  your
files  will automatically be displayed in the file directory  when
you run the GDOS output program.

     When  the file is finished printing to disk,  you will see  a
dialog with the word "DONE" displayed at the bottom left corner of
the dialog box.

     Use the mouse and the option labeled "RETURN".  You will then
be returned to your document.

     You  are  now ready to print a Publishing Partner  file  with
GDOS.

     Select  QUIT from the FILE drop down menu and return  to  the
desktop.

     Load  the  "OUTPUT.PRG" from the Publishing  Partner  program
disk.

     Select ADD NAMES from the FILE drop down menu and select  the
file you wish to print.

     Select START OUTPUT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Use the mouse and select PRINTER from the dialog box and then
select "OK" to verify your choice.

     When the document has finished printing, select QUIT from the
FILE drop down menu and return to the desktop.

     You  can  then  reload  the  Publishing  Partner  program  to
continue.

(PLEASE  NOTE THAT THIS MANUAL IS AN OLD ONE AND THAT YOU CAN  NOW
PRINT FROM INSIDE PUBLISHING PARTNER WITHOUT SAVING THE PRINT FILE
TO DISK.)

CHAPTER 4

     REFERENCE SECTION

          TOOLBOX - REFERENCE

OVERVIEW

     This reference section is divided into 9 sections:

          1. Toolbox Options
          2. Desk drop down menu
          3. File drop down menu
          4. Create-Layout drop down menu
          5. View drop down menu
          6. Style drop down menu
          7. Format drop down menu
          8. Edit drop down menu
          9. Text Editor

     The TOOLBOX option allows you to switch between entering text
and  graphics.  You  have a variety of options  available  to  you
through the TOOLBOX.  Below is a brief description of each  option
available  from the toolbox.  The section which follows  describes
each of these options in more detail.

     [TEXT]   -  When  the  TEXT  option  from  the   TOOLBOX   is
highlighted,  it indicates you're in the TEXT mode. If you wish to
place text anywhere on the page, you must be in this mode.

     [ARROW]  -  When  the  ARROW  option  from  the  TOOLBOX   is
highlighted,  it indicates you're in the OBJECT EDITOR. The OBJECT
EDITOR allows you to (1) create columns (2) resize and  reposition
columns  (3)  delete columns (4) change the attributes  of  entire
column  (5) resize and reposition GRAPHIC OBJECTS such  as  lines,
boxes,  and circles and (6) delete GRAPHIC OBJECTS (7) delete TEXT
OBJECTS.

     [SCISSORS]  - The SCISSORS are used to "crop" or "cut out"  a
particular  section  of  a picture.  This  feature  is  used  when
trimming a Degas or Neochrome,  Tiny,  (or other supported picture
format) picture for use in Publishing Partner.

     [PIC]  - The PICTURE option allows you to load any  Degas  or
Neochrome,  Tiny (or other supported picture format) picture  into
the  PICTURE section of Publishing Partner.  Once the  picture  is
loaded  into  Publishing Partner's picture buffer,  you  can  then
paste  it  into your document.  To view a  newly  loaded  picture,
simply select the PICTURE option.

     [CIRCLES & ELLIPSES] - Draw circles and ellipses anywhere  on
your page.

     [BOXES] - Draw boxes with or without rounded corners.

     [HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL LINES] - Draw horizontal and  vertical
lines.

     [DIAGONAL LINES] - Draw diagonal lines.

     [POLYGONS] - Draw multi-sided shapes.

     [FREE  HAND DRAWING] - Draw freehand as if the mouse  were  a
pen.

     [LINE] - The LINE option allows you to define the  attributes
of you lines when drawing circles, ellipses, boxes, and lines.

     [FILL]  -  The  FILL option allows you  to  define  the  FILL
pattern you want to use (if any) when drawing  circles,  ellipses,
and boxes.

     [COLOR] - The COLOR option allows you to define the COLOR you
want when placing objects on the screen as well as at printout.

TEXT OPTION FROM THE TOOLBOX

     Before you can enter text in a document, the TEXT option from
the toolbox must first be selected. Use the mouse and position the
pointer  over the option labeled "TEXT" (in the toolbox and  click
the  left  mouse button.  When the word "TEXT" is  highlighted  in
reverse video, you'll know it is selected.

CREATING TEXT INSIDE A COLUMN

     If  you  want  to  enter several lines  of  text  such  as  a
paragraph,  you  will want to enter this information in a  column.
While  the  TEXT box is highlighted (in reverse  video),  use  the
mouse  to position the pointer over an existing column  and  press
the left mouse button.  After doing so,  you should see a flashing
cursor in that column indicating you can start typing.

CREATING TEXT OUTSIDE A COLUMN

     When using Publishing Partner, you will usually enter TEXT in
columns.  However,  there are times when this can be inconvenient.

     You  want to enter the headline "Super News" inside a  shaded
box.  To do this,  make sure you're in the TEXT mode. Position the
cursor  in the middle of the shaded box and  simultaneously  press
down the CONTROL key and the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON.  After doing this,
you  will see the symbol "nul" on the screen.  This indicates  you
have chosen to enter text outside a column. Now type "Super News".
As soon as you start typing, the "nul" symbol will disappear.

     The  purpose  of  the  "nul" symbol  is  to  indicate  you're
creating  a TEXT OBJECT (text outside a column as opposed to  text
inside a column).  If you accidentally pressed CONTROL key and the
LEFT MOUSE BUTTON,  you should DELETE the "nul" symbol immediately
by selecting the ARROW (object editor) from the TOOLBOX.  You will
then  see sizing squares around the "nul" symbol indicating it  is
selected.  Once it's selected, you can choose DELETE from the EDIT
drop down menu or press the BACKSPACE key and delete the object.

HIGHLIGHTING TEXT

     Before you can adjust a character's style or point  size,  it
must first be highlighted.

     Use  the mouse and position the pointer at the  beginning  of
the  text you wish to highlight,  hold down the left mouse  button
and  "drag"  the pointer over the desired text.  As you  move  the
mouse,  more and more text will become highlighted.  When you  are
satisfied  the  text is highlighted correctly,  release  the  left
mouse button. The text you just highlighted will remain in reverse
video.  Once this occurs, you can then assign any attribute to the
highlighted text from the STYLE or FORMAT drop down menus.

     Since we want the words "Super News" to fill the entire  box,
let's adjust its point size. Use the mouse and highlight the words
"super  News"  just  as if you were  highlighting  text  within  a
column.

     Select FONTS/POINTS from the STYLE drop down menu and  select
a suitable point size. After pressing "OK", the words "Super News"
will appear in the selected point size.

     If  the words "Super News" are not positioned exactly as  you
desire, it is very easy to correct. Simultaneously press the SHIFT
key  and the left mouse button.  You will see a box  surround  the
words "Super News". While holding the SHIFT key and the left mouse
button,  you  can reposition the words "Super News" by moving  the
mouse.  When you release the left mouse button,  the text will  be
"pasted"  to the page.  You can repeat this process until you  are
satisfied with the text's position.

HIGHLIGHTING TEXT OUTSIDE A COLUMN

     You  can highlight text outside a column in the  same  manner
you highlight text within a column.

     If no text is highlighted when you select an attribute  (from
the  STYLE or FORMAT menus),  that attribute will be  the  default
when you start typing. This is true when entering text both inside
and outside a column.

MODIFYING AN ENTIRE COLUMN

     Using  the OBJECT EDITOR select the ARROW from the  TOOLBOX),
you can adjust the attributes for an entire column.

     Select the ARROW from the TOOLBOX.

     Move the pointer over a column containing text and click  the
left mouse button.

     The  column  will  become  selected  (you  will  see  "sizing
squares"  on  its corners).  If you select an attribute  from  the
STYLE or FORMAT menus while a column is "selected",  you will  see
a dialog box.

     This  dialog  box is asking you to verify that  you  want  to
change  the attributes for the entire column.  If you answer  YES,
all the text in the column will be changed.  If you answer NO, the
selection will be ignored.

EDITING OUTSIDE A COLUMN

     Select TEXT from the TOOLBOX.

     Position  the  pointer  over the desired  TEXT  OBJECT  (text
placed outside a column) and click the left mouse button.

     You will see a flashing cursor indicating the TEXT OBJECT  is
ready  for  editing.  If  you wish to  change  the  TEXT  OBJECT'S
attributes,  highlight the desired text and make a selection  from
any of the options found in the STYLE, FORMAT, or EDIT menus.

MOVING A TEXT OBJECT

     Using  the  mouse,  position the pointer over a  TEXT  OBJECT
(text outside a column) and click the left mouse button.

     You will see a blinking cursor on the line you just selected.

     Simultaneously press and hold down both the SHIFT key and the
left mouse button.

     You  can now move the text object by moving the  mouse.  When
you release the left mouse button,  the text will be pasted to the
page.

     The  second method for moving a TEXT OBJECT is by  using  the
OBJECT EDITOR (select the ARROW  from the toolbox).  Position  the
pointer over a desired TEXT OBJECT,  press and hold down the  left
mouse button.  The cursor will change to a "hand" and you can move
the TEXT OBJECT by simply moving the mouse.  When you release  the
mouse button, the TEXT OBJECT will be pasted to the page.

     NOTE  - If you select a TEXT OBJECT using the  OBJECT  EDITOR
(arrow from the toolbox),  you will notice "sizing squares" around
the object's corners.  These "sizing squares" indicate an item  is
selected.  You can not, however, size a TEXT OBJECT, highlight the
text and adjust it point size.

DELETING TEXT OUTSIDE A COLUMN

     When  text  is  entered  as a TEXT  OBJECT  (text  outside  a
column),  it  is  treated differently from text entered  inside  a
column.

     Select the arrow from the TOOLBOX.

     Using the mouse,  position the pointer over a TEXT OBJECT and
click the left mouse button.

     You will see sizing squares around its corners indicating  it
is selected.

     Select  DELETE from the EDIT drop down menu or  simply  press
the DELETE (or BACKSPACE) key and the text object will be deleted.

     The remaining items in the TOOLBOX are used for creating  and
editing both columns and graphics.

OBJECT EDITOR ( THE ARROW FROM THE TOOLBOX)

     When  the ARROW from the TOOLBOX is  selected,  it  indicates
you're in the OBJECT EDITOR.  The OBJECT EDITOR is used to  create
and edit both columns and graphics.

CREATING COLUMNS WITH THE OBJECT EDITOR

     With Publishing Partner, there is more than one way to create
columns for data entry.  This section of the manual describes  how
to create columns using the OBJECT EDITOR.  You should also  refer
to  the  CREATE-LAYOUT section of the manual which  describes  how
Publishing  Partner can create columns for you.  Each method  will
prove to be more convenient in certain situations.

     If  you wish to create a column for text  entry,  select  the
[ARROW]  from the toolbox.  Move the pointer to the place  on  the
page,  press and hold down the left mouse button.  As you move the
mouse (while still holding down the left mouse button),  you  will
see  an outline of the column you are creating.  When you  release
the left mouse button, the column will be "placed" on the page.

CREATING COLUMNS WHICH OVERLAP

     When  manipulating  (moving,sizing,   strectching)  text  and
graphics on a page, you may find it necessary to create columns on
top of each other. If you move the pointer over a column and click
the left mouse button,  you'll notice the column becomes  selected
(by  the "sizing squares" on its corners).  If you don't  want  to
resize the column but would rather create a new column overlapping
the old one,  you can do this by holding down both the CONTROL key
and the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON at the same time.

     While  still holding down the CONTROL key and the left  mouse
button,  you  can  start creating your new column  by  moving  the
mouse. When you are satisfied with the new column's position, just
release the left mouse button and the CONTROL key.  The new column
will be placed where you position it.

     If you are creating a column on top of a column which already
has text in it,  the text from the first column will not be  lost!

     The  new column appears to erase the text which lies  beneath
it.  Actually, the new column is just resting over it. NOTHING HAS
BEEN DELETED.  If you wish,  you can go back to the TEXT mode  and
type into the newly created column.

CREATING COLUMNS INSIDE AN OBJECT

If  you are in the OBJECT EDITOR and click the left  mouse  button
inside a box,  the box will become selected. If you wish to create
a column inside it,  just press the CONTROL key and the left mouse
button  while  resting over the box.  This will force  the  column
creation  regardless  of the information resting under  the  mouse
pointer.

MOVING A COLUMN OR GRAPHIC OBJECT

     If  you  wish to move an existing  column,  first  make  sure
you're  in the OBJECT EDITOR (select the arrow from the  toolbox).
You  should  then move the pointer so it is resting on top  of  an
existing column.  Once this is done,  press and hold down the left
mouse button.  You'll see the pointer has changed to "hand".  Once
you  have the "hand" as your pointer,  you can move the column  by
simply moving the mouse.  When you release the left mouse  button,
the column will be placed on the page.

     If there is text in the column which you are moving,  it will
automatically "reflow" within the new column's position.

RESIZING A COLUMN OR GRAPHIC OBJECT (LINE, BOX,ETC.)

     If  you  wish to resize a column or graphic object  (make  it
longer, shorter, bigger or smaller), first make sure you're in the
OBJECT  EDITOR (select the arrow from the toolbox).  Once this  is
done,  move the pointer so it rests directly on top of the desired
object and click one time on the left mouse button. After clicking
the left mouse button,  you'll see "sizing squares" on the corners
of  the  selected  object.  You can adjust the  object's  size  by
positioning  the  tip  of the pointer inside  one  of  the  sizing
squares.  Once  the  pointer is correctly  positioned  inside  the
sizing square,  press and hold the left mouse button.  As you move
the  mouse,  you will see the object change in size.  If there  is
text   inside  a  column  which  you  are  resizing,   that   will
automatically reflow within the column's new dimensions.

DELETING A COLUMN OR GRAPHIC OBJECT

     Before  you can delete a column or graphic object,  you  must
first be in the OBJECT EDITOR (select the arrow from the toolbox).
Once this is done, select the column or graphic object you want to
delete by positioning the pointer over the desired item and  click
the  left  mouse  button.  You should  see  the  familiar  "sizing
squares" on the corners of the selected object.  Once the item  is
selected,  you can delete it by choosing DELETE from the EDIT drop
down  menu or simply pressing the BACKSPACE (or DELETE)  keys.  If
you are deleting a column which has text inside it, you will see a
dialog box prompting you to verify that you want the text deleted.

SCISSORS

     The  SCISSORS  option allows you to "cut" or trim  a  picture
which  has  been  pasted into a  document.  Cropping  reduces  the
physical size of the picture,  but the part that remains does  not
change  in size.  After cropping,  you can reduce or  enlarge  the
remaining part of the graphic.  To restore the parts you trim, you
must  place the picture again.  The following example assumes  you
have already pasted a picture into your document.

     Select the SCISSORS option from the TOOLBOX.

     Position  the  mouse pointer over the picture and  click  the
left mouse button.

     You  will see "sizing squares" on the corners of the  picture
indicating it is selected.

     Position  the mouse pointer over one of the  sizing  squares,
press and hole down the left mouse button.

     Drag the sizing square until the picture shows only the parts
you want.

     Release the left mouse button to stop the operation.

PIC

     The  "PIC"  option  from the  toolbox  refers  to  Publishing
Partner's picture buffer.  Selecting this option will display  the
last picture which has been imported.

IMPORTING A PICTURE

     Publishing Partner will read any picture which has been saved
in either a Degas,  Neochrome, or Tiny format. Importing a picture
involves 4 steps:

          1. Copy picture from disk to the "PIC" buffer.
          2. Select section of picture you want to copy.
          3. Copy picture to the COPY BUFFER.
          4.  Redisplay document and execute the COPY FROM  BUFFER
to place the document.

     Use  the  mouse  and select the "PIC"  (stands  for  picture)
option from the toolbox.

     Select IMPORT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select the name of the picture you wish to load and click  on
the OK box to continue.

     HINT  - For best results use a picture that was created in  a
resolution which you are currently using (i.e.  if you are working
in hi res, use a picture created in hi res or if you're working in
medium res, use a picture created in medium res).

     You  will  see  the  picture has now  been  loaded  into  the
Publishing Partner's picture buffer.

PLACING A PICTURE IN A DOCUMENT

     You can copy any section of the picture into your document.

     Position the pointer in the upper left corner of the  section
of  the  picture you wish to copy,  press and hold down  the  left
mouse button.

     While  still  holding down the left mouse  button,  move  the
mouse and highlight a section of the picture you wish to copy into
the COPY buffer.  You will see a dotted box indicating the section
of the picture you're highlighting.

     When  the desired section is highlighted,  release  the  left
mouse button.

     Select  the  COPY TO BUFFER option from the  EDIT  drop  down
menu.

     The highlighted section of the picture is now resting in  the
"COPY BUFFER".

     Select the OBJECT EDITOR (the arrow from the toolbox).

     Once again,  you will be viewing your document.  You can  now
place the picture anywhere on any page.

     Select  the COPY FROM BUFFER option from the EDIT  drop  down
menu.

     The  mouse  pointer  will now change  to  a  "picture  frame"
indicating you are ready to place a picture (or any graphic object
such as a line, box, circle, etc.) in your document.

     Position the "picture frame" mouse pointer where you want the
picture  to  be placed in the document and click  the  left  mouse
button.

SIZING THE PICTURE

     You  will now see the picture you just copied.  By using  the
mouse,  you  can  size the picture by selecting and  dragging  the
sizing squares which appear on each corner of the picture. You can
also reposition the picture by placing the mouse pointer over  the
picture and holding down the left mouse button.  The pointer  will
change  to  a "hand" and you can move the picture  by  moving  the
mouse.  Releasing the left mouse button will cause the picture  to
be redrawn on the screen.

     If you want an exact reduction or enlargement of the original
picture,  simultaneously press and hold down the ALTERNATE and "E"
keys (stands for edit). When the dialog box appears on the screen,
release the keys.

     Depending  on  the  size of your picture,  there  will  be  a
maximum  which  a picture can be enlarged.  This  will  vary  from
picture to picture.

     The dialog box displays the location of the upper left corner
of the picture,  the percentage which the picture has been reduced
or enlarged,  and the contrast (the intensity which the picture is
displayed).

     Using the arrow keys on the computer keyboard,  you can  move
from line to line. Pressing the ESC key will clear the line.

     NOTE  - The CONTRAST option only adjusts the intensity  which
the picture is displayed on the screen. it does not affect how the
picture prints.

     If  you  did  not have the [PIC]  option  selected  prior  to
loading  a  picture,  you can view your newly  loaded  picture  by
simply selecting the [PIC] option in the toolbox.

     When  you  import a  Degas,  Neochrome,  or  other  supported
picture format,  it will be imported into the [PIC] section of the
program. In order to view an imported picture, you must select the
[PIC] option from the toolbox.

GRAPHIC OBJECTS (LINES, BOXES, CIRCLES, ETC.)

     Immediately  after  a  GRAPHIC OBJECT is  drawn,  it  is  the
currently selected item. If you wish to DELETE an object which you
have  just drawn,  you can select DELETE  from  the EDIT menu  (or
press  the  DELETE  key) and the  object  will  be  deleted.  This
shortcut  is provided so you don't have to:  (1) draw the  GRAPHIC
OBJECT  (2)  select the OBJECT EDITOR (choose the arrow  from  the
toolbox) (3) position the pointer over the desired graphic  object
, click the left mouse button, and then (4) select DELETE from the
EDIT menu.

     Another  handy feature is that you can easily  reposition  an
object  immediately after it has been drawn.  Immediately after  a
GRAPHIC OBJECT is drawn,  it is the currently selected  item.  You
can easily reposition it by simultaneously pressing the SHIFT  key
and  the  left mouse button.  The currently selected  OBJECT  will
become  highlighted  and the pointer will change to  a  hand.  The
OBJECT can then be repositioned by simply moving the  mouse.  When
you are satisfied with the OBJECT's new location, just release the
left  mouse button and it will be placed at its new  location.  It
does not matter where the pointer is positioned on the screen when
you press the SHIFT+left mouse button key combination. You can use
the  SHIFT = left mouse button key combination any time an  OBJECT
is  selected (contains sizing squares).  This is a  handy  feature
which  will save you time and assist you when positioning  graphic
objects!

EDITING GRAPHIC OBJECTS

     Before  you  can  edit a GRAPHIC OBJECT,  it  must  first  be
selected.  In  most  cases,  except  when moving  a  "just  drawn"
OBJECT,  you  must  be in the OBJECT EDITOR (the  arrow  from  the
toolbox  must  be  selected).  In order to select  an  OBJECT  for
editing,  just move the pointer over the desired object and  click
the left mouse button.  When the item has been selected,  you will
see  "sizing  squares"  on  its corners  indicating  it  has  been
selected. If you have 2 objects which are resting over one another
and  the  object which you are trying to select  is  not  becoming
highlighted, then you may need to SEND TO BACK (from the VIEW drop
down menu). the object which is becoming highlighted.

     When  you  draw objects  which  overlap,  Publishing  Partner
remembers  the order in which they were drawn.  The most  recently
drawn object is always placed on top.  If you tried to select  the
line  inside  the  box by moving the pointer  over  the  line  and
clicking  the left mouse button,  you would end up  selecting  the
"box which surrounds the line. This occurs because the box was the
last  object  drawn.  In order to solve this  problem,  you  could
select SEND TO BACK from the VIEW drop down menu.  This would move
the box to the back of the "stack" and move the line to the top of
the  "stack".  You  could now move the pointer over the  line  and
select it for editing.

MOVING AND SIZING GRAPHIC OBJECTS

     If  you press and hold down the left mouse button  while  the
cursor is resting over the SELECTED item,  the pointer will change
to a HAND and you can move the object by moving the mouse.  If you
position the pointer over a "sizing square" and hold down the left
mouse  button,  you can adjust the size of the GRAPHIC  OBJECT  by
simply moving the mouse.  The only exception to this rule are TEXT
OBJECTS  which  are  sized by changing POINT  SIZE  and  CHARACTER
SPACING from the STYLE and FORMAT menus.

     HINT: When sizing lines, you must position the pointer inside
a  sizing  square  and press the left mouse  button  to  size  the
object.  However,  once you start sizing the object by moving  the
mouse,  you  can  move the pointer outside the sizing  square  and
still adjust the line size. This eliminates the cumbersome problem
of  trying  to "see through" the pointer so you can  see  the  end
point of the line.

SELECTING BOXES AND CIRCLES

     If  you position the pointer anywhere inside a box or  circle
and click the left mouse button,  That box or circle will  usually
become selected.  Often times it is useful to send these items  to
back after they are drawn.

DRAWING CIRCLES AND ELLIPSES

     The  CIRCLE  option  from the toolbox  allow  you  to  create
circles of varying sizes and shapes on your page.  Once the CIRCLE
option from the toolbox is selected, your pointer will change to a
"+" symbol and you can start drawing circles.  Move the pointer to
the  place on the screen where you want the circle to  appear  and
click  the  left  mouse button.  After releasing  the  left  mouse
button, you can start sizing your circle by moving the mouse. When
a  circle is drawn,  it's drawn using the pre-selected  attributes
from  the LINE,  FILL,  and COLOR options of the toolbox.  If  you
press  the  right mouse button while drawing  a  circle,  it  will
cancel the operation.

HOW LINES, FILL, AND COLOR AFFECT SHAPES

     When a circle, ellipses, polygon or rectangle is drawn, it is
drawn with a pre-selected LINE, FILL, and COLOR attribute. You can
change  the  LINE,  FILL and COLOR attributes by  selecting  their
corresponding option from the toolbox.  The LINE,  FILL, and COLOR
attributes selected will be used when you draw a circle,  ellipses
or rectangle.

DRAWING BOXES

     Drawing a rectangle involves plotting 2 points. Once you have
selected  the desired rectangle you want (with or without  rounded
corners),  you are ready to draw a rectangle. You will also notice
that the pointer has changes to a "+" symbol when it is moved away
from the toolbox indicating you're in the drawing mode.

     Position the pointer where you want one corner of the box  to
appear and click the left mouse button.  After releasing the mouse
button, move the pointer diagonally. You will see an impression of
the box you are drawing.  When the box is  the right  size,  click
the  left mouse button again and your box will be "pasted" to  the
page.  If  you were instead to click the right  mouse  button,  it
would erase the box you're currently drawing.

MOVING ABOUT THE PAGE WHILE DRAWING

     If you are in the SHOW ACTUAL SIZE mode (from the VIEW menu),
you will see approximately 1/4 of the page.  However, you may want
to  draw  a GRAPHIC OBJECT that spans the  entire  page.  You  can
accomplish this 2 ways:

     1. Use the scroller bars while drawing
     2. Switch to SHOW FULL PAGE mode (see VIEW menu)

USE SCROLL BARS WHEN DRAWING

     If  you are drawing a GRAPHIC OBJECT which you want  to  span
more than one screen, it's easy to do. The process is as follows:

     1.  Select  the desired graphic object from the  toolbox  you
want to draw.
     2.  Position  the pointer ("+" symbol) on the page and  click
the left mouse button to start the drawing process.
     3.  Move  the  pointer to either the vertical  or  horizontal
slider bar.
     4.  While  the pointer is resting over the slider  bar,  hold
down  the left mouse button and move it (by moving the  mouse)  to
the desired location on the page.
     5.  Move  back  to the page and click the left  mouse  button
again to define the end point of the desired graphic object.

DRAWING IN FULL PAGE MODE

     Another  alternative to using the scroller bars when  drawing
large  graphic  objects would be to do your drawing while  in  the
SHOW FULL PAGE mode.  While in this mode,  you can see the  entire
printed  page on one screen.  Since the VIEW FULL PAGE mode  is  a
visual  reduction of the actual page,  you may find it  easier  to
create  a large object in this mode.  However,  you will  probably
need to edit your graphic object in ACTUAL SIZE mode to make  sure
it is aligned exactly as you desire.

DRAWING VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL LINES

     Drawing LINES works very similar to drawing BOXES.  Once  the
vertical/horizontal  line option is chosen from the  toolbox,  the
cursor  will  change to the drawing symbol "+" and you  can  start
drawing lines.  Move the pointer to the place on the screen  where
you want your line to start and click the left mouse button.  This
indicates the starting point of your line.  As you move the mouse,
you will see an impression of the line in the background. When you
click  the left mouse button for the second time  (excluding  when
you  select  the scroller bars or a pop down menu),  you  will  be
"pasting" the line to the screen.  Publishing Partner ensures that
the line is drawn vertically or horizontally.

DRAWING DIAGONAL LINES

     If you wish to draw diagonal lines,  you will need to  select
the DIAGONAL LINE option from the toolbox. This works identical to
drawing HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL lines except your lines will be  drawn
diagonally.

DRAWING POLYGONS

     Drawing  polygons  (multi-sided shape) works  different  than
drawing  boxes.  You must click the mouse on all the points  which
form the polygon.  In order to finish the polygon,  you must click
on  the staring point.  If you make a mistake,  you can click  the
right mouse button to start over.

DRAWING FREEHAND

     This is the only drawing option which doesn't require you  to
click points to define your object.  The FREEHAND option from  the
toolbox  allows you to draw a line as if the mouse were a  pencil.
Just  hold down the left mouse button and start moving the  mouse.
When you release the left mouse button, the line will be pasted to
the  page.  If you make a mistake,  you can press the right  mouse
button to start over.

MULTIPLE PAGE DOCUMENT

     Directly beneath the 8 drawing tools in the toolbox you  will
notice there is an "icon" titled "PAGE:".  The number displayed in
this  icon  represents  the page number which  you  are  currently
viewing.

MOVING BETWEEN PAGES

     You  can move forward or backward 1 page at a time by  moving
the  pointer over the left or right arrows below the "PAGE:"  icon
in  the toolbox and clicking the left mouse button.  You can  also
move to a desired page by moving the pointer over the actual "page
number" and clicking the left mouse button 1 time.  You will  then
see a dialog box prompting you to enter a page number you wish  to
view.  Type a standard editing commands apply) desired page number
and select "OK" to view that page.

MASTER PAGES

     The  purpose  of  a MASTER PAGE is to  allow  you  to  create
"constants"  which  appear on every page of  your  document.  Your
"constants" can consist of any GRAPHIC OBJECT such as a line, box,
circle,  text,  and  even  a picture.  A good example of  such  an
occurrence is in this manual.  You will notice that at the  bottom
of every page is a page number.  This information was not typed on
every page, rather just 1 time on the master page.

     In the "PAGE:" icon,  you will see 2 options labeled "L"  and
"R".  These  options  represent left and right pages of  a  double
sided document.

     If you selected "Double Sided Document" from the NEW DOCUMENT
when  your file was created,  you can then create left  and  right
master  pages.  If you did not select the "Double Sided  Document"
option, you will only have 1 master page.

     Clicking on the "L" or "R" option will show that master  page
(items  which  repeat on every page).  If you are working  with  a
double sided document,  information placed on the left master page
will only appear on even numbered pages and information placed  on
the right master page will only appear on odd numbered  pages.  If
you  are  working with a single sided  document,  the  information
placed  on  the  master page will appear on  every  page  of  your
document.

     If you are working with a double sided document,  clicking on
the  "L"  or  "R" options will display the  prompt  "RM"  or  "LM"
indicating which master page you are viewing.  If you are  working
with  a  single sided document and select either the  "L"  or  "R"
options,  you  will see the prompt "M" indicating you are  viewing
the master page.

     Care  should be taken when planning your master page  because
information  entered  on this page cannot be edited on  any  other
page.  If  you delete or change an object on the master  page,  it
will  then be deleted or changed on all subsequent pages.  DO  NOT
create columns on a master page! If you do, you can not enter text
into the column on any page other than the master page.

     If  you want to create a standard column format from page  to
page,  you  should use the "PAGE" option from the  CREATE  COLUMNS
option found in the CREATE-LAYOUT menu.

LINES

     When drawing a GRAPHIC OBJECT such as a line, circle, or box,
you  can  specify special attributes for  these  items.  When  you
select  the LINE option from the toolbox,  you will see  a  dialog
box.

     You  can  specify 3 different LINE attributes for  each  line
drawn.  You can specify the TYPE line you want drawn, the WIDTH of
the  line,  and its STARTING and ENDING characteristics.  A  check
mark  will appear next to the LINE attributes which are  currently
selected.

     NOTE:  If  you choose a thick WIDTH,  regardless of the  line
TYPE  chosen,  it  will be drawn as a solid line  on  the  screen.
However,  when it prints, it will print using the attributes which
you selected.

CREATING YOUR OWN LINE

     You can create your own LINE by choosing the EDIT option from
the LINE dialog box.

     Using  the mouse,  click on the displayed line and turn  dots
"on" and "off". Selecting OK will cause the displayed LINE TYPE to
be saved when the file is saved.  Your new LINE will be  displayed
in the dialog box.

FILL

     When  you  draw  a GRAPHIC OBJECT  such  as  a  box,  circle,
ellipses,  or polygon it will always be FILLED with the  specified
FILL pattern. You will see a dialog box.

     You  will notice the selected FILL pattern has a  check  mark
next  to it indicating it is the currently selected  pattern.  You
can  change  the selected FILL pattern by using  the  pointer  and
clicking on the desired pattern.

     Whenever a box,  circle,  ellipses,  or polygon is drawn, the
selected FILL pattern is used.

     The first FILL pattern contains the word "Clear".  When  this
is  selected,  it indicates you do not want any FILL pattern  used
when drawing an enclosed shape.

     When you are drawing circles,  ellipses,  polygons, and boxes
with  FILL  patterns,  there may be times when you  don't  want  a
border drawn.  For this reason, you can activate or deactivate the
"CREATE BORDER" option by clicking on its box.  If you see a solid
square  next to the CREATE BORDER prompt,  then a border  will  be
created around the pattern. Otherwise no border will be created.

CREATING YOUR OWN FILL PATTERN

     If you wish to design your own FILL pattern,  select the EDIT
option which appears inside the FILL dialog box.  You can use  the
mouse  and the left mouse button to create your own FILL  pattern.
Repeatedly  clicking on the "dots" will turn them "on" and  "off".
Your new fill pattern will be displayed in the dialog box.  When a
file  is saved,  it saves any changes which have been made to  the
user definable FILL pattern.

COLOR

     With the COLOR option, you can define both display colors and
printer colors. If you are using a monochrome system, you can only
view 2 colors,  (white and black). If you are using a color system
you  can view up to 4 colors.  You can,  however,  print  as  many
colors  as your printer is capable.  You can define the color  for
text,  fill patterns and lines.  If you wish to change one of  the
predefined printer colors, click on the color, use the arrows from
the  dialog  box and customize the color as you  please.  You  can
adjust  percentages of the primary colors from 0 to 1000  to  form
any printer color you desire.

SPECIAL MOUSE COMMANDS FOR TEXT

     CONTROL  + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press both keys  simultaneously
and  release) - Selects the location for a TEXT OBJECT  regardless
of  its position on the page.  Until TEXT is created for the  TEXT
OBJECT,  you will see the symbol "nul" on the screen.  If you  use
the  BACKSPACE key and delete all the text within a  TEXT  OBJECT,
you will also see the "nul" symbol.  As with all GRAPHIC  OBJECTS,
you  must  be  in the OBJECT EDITOR (select  the  arrow  from  the
toolbox) before you can delete the object.

     SHIFT  +  LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press and hold  down  both  keys
simultaneously) - The pointer will change to a "HAND" and you  can
move the currently selected column by moving the mouse.  When  you
release  the  left  mouse button,  the  selected  column  will  be
"pasted" at its new location.

     ALTERNATE + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press and hold down both  keys
simultaneously)  -  If  you have 2  columns  which  overlap,  this
command allows you to highlight text in the column farthest to the
rear.

SPECIAL MOUSE COMMANDS FOR GRAPHICS

     CONTROL  + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press and hold down  both  keys
simultaneously)  - This command allows you to create a  column  on
top of another column as well as a column inside a GRAPHIC OBJECT.
While holding down the CONTROL key and the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON,  you
can size your new column simply by moving the mouse.  When you use
this command,  the newly created column is always placed on top of
any  objects which may be resting below.  If you have  information
resting below the newly created column,  it's not lost - it's just
not visible. If you wish to view this information, you can use the
SEND  TO  BACK command from the VIEW drop down menu and  send  the
newly created column to the back and the next visible object  will
appear.

     SHIFT  +  LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press and hold  down  both  keys
simultaneously) - The pointer will change to a "HAND" and you  can
move the currently selected item (line, box, text object, etc.) by
just moving the mouse. When you release the left mouse button, the
object  will  be  "pasted"  to  the  page  at  the  new  location.
Immediately  after  a  GRAPHIC OBJECT is drawn,  it  is  also  the
currently selected item.  Therefore,  you can use the SHIFT + left
mouse button command to easily reposition the last item drawn.

     ALTERNATE + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press and hold down both  keys
simultaneously)  -  When you have several objects  which  overlap,
this key combination allows you to select the column,  line,  box,
circle,etc.  which is resting farthest to the rear.  When the item
is selected, the pointer will change to a HAND and you will see an
outline  of  the selected item.  You can then move the  object  by
simply  moving the mouse.  When you release the left mouse  button
the object will be "pasted" to the screen.

     CONTROL + ALTERNATE + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON (press and hold  down
all  3 keys simultaneously) - When you have several objects  which
overlap,  this command allows you to create columns and text as an
object farthest to the rear.

SELECTING OBJECTS FROM A PAGE

     When  you wish to edit a page,  you will find there are  many
ways  to accomplish the same thing.  By using the previous  "mouse
editing  commands",  you  can quickly reduce the  amount  of  time
required when creating/editing a page.

     There  may be times when you are unable to see or select  the
item  you desire.  This is likely to occur if you have 3  or  more
items which overlap. In this case, if you wanted to select an item
in the middle, you would have to rearrange their order.

     This can be accomplished by either rearranging the objects so
they  don't overlap or by SELECTING the item in front and  sending
it  to the back using the SEND TO BACK command from the VIEW  drop
down menu.

EDITING OBJECTS (ALT E)

     If  you have an object such as a  line,  box,  picture,  etc.
selected (contains sizing squares), you can edit that object using
the keyboard. This can be accomplished by pressing the "Alternate"
and "E" key combination when an object is selected.  Depending  on
the object selected before choosing "Alt" "E" you will see one  of
5 different dialog boxes.

     You  will  notice many of the options in  the  "Edit"  dialog
boxes  repeat.  Below  is an explanation for the items  which  are
unique to their respective dialog box. At the end of this section,
you will find explanations for the remaining options.

     If you wish to enter your own values in the dialog boxes, you
can  use the arrow keys on the computer to move from line to  line
and  press the ESC key to clear the line.  Most  keyboard  editing
commands apply.  You will not have to enter the units,  Publishing
Partner will default to the units selected in the MEASURING SYSTEM
option found in the CREATE LAYOUT menu  (inches,  centimeters,  or
picas).

ITEMS WHICH REPEAT IN MOST DIALOG BOXES

     Line Type
     Refers  to  the  type  of  line  used  (i.e.  solid,  dotted,
dashed,  etc.). When viewing the LINE dialog box from the TOOLBOX,
you  will  see 7 choices for line types.  They  are  consecutively
numbered 1 thru 7.

     Line Width
     Refers to the width of the line used (i.e. 1/2 point, 5 point
etc.).  You can enter any size between .5 and 72 points  advancing
in half point increments.

     Line Color
     Refers  to  the color of your line.  When viewing  the  COLOR
dialog  box  from the TOOLBOX,  you will see 32 choices  for  line
colors.  The  colors  are  numbered consecutively  from  0  to  31
advancing downward column by column.  (i.e. the first color in the
upper  left  corner is number 0 and the last color  in  the  lower
right corner is number 31).

     Fill Type
     Refers  to the FILL pattern of a  circle,  ellipse,  box,  or
polygon.  When viewing the FILL dialog box from the  TOOLBOX,  you
will  see  48 choices for FILL patterns.  The  FILL  patterns  are
numbered  consecutively from 0 to 47 advancing downward column  by
column. (i.e. the first pattern in the upper left corner is number
0  and the last fill pattern in the lower right corner  is  number
47).

advancing downward column by column.  (i.e. the first color in the
upper  left  corner is number 0 and the last color  in  the  lower
right corner is number 31).

DESK - REFERENCE

     The  DESK drop down menu will display any  accessories  which
you have loaded.

DON'T LOOK

     The DON'T LOOK option from the DESK drop down menu  display's
information pertaining to your system's memory.

     Program  Free  Space - Available memory which  is  used  when
creating documents.

     System Free Space - Available memory which has been allocated
for the computer's operating system.

     Number of Objects - Displays the number of objects which have
been  created in a file.  An object is any  column,  circle,  box,
line, or polygon.

FILE - REFERENCE

     The  FILE  drop down menu contains options  allowing  you  to
manipulate files, configure the program, print, and quit.

NEW DOCUMENT

     The  NEW DOCUMENT option allows you to specify the  size  and
shape  of  the pages in a document.  You can select  a  page  size
ranging from 1 inch by 1 inch up to a page size of 18 inches by 18
inches.  Using this option,  you can customize your own page  size
according  to your specifications.  You should select this  option
before entering any information into your document.  If you choose
this option while you have a file in memory,  you will see  dialog
boxes prompting you to save the file you are currently working  on
before proceeding.  The NEW DOCUMENT option can be used to erase a
file in memory.

     When  you  select the new document option,  you  will  see  a
dialog box.

SELECTING A PAGE SIZE

     You  can select from one of the preset page sizes or you  can
define  your  own.  If you wish to choose one of the  preset  page
sizes,  use the mouse to position the pointer over the box next to
the desired page size and "click" the left mouse button.  You will
know  that  item  is  selected  when  the  box  becomes  darkened.
This indicates it is selected.

     If  you  wish to enter your own page size,  select  the  item
USER.  You  can press the ESC key to erase the displayed data  and
enter your own. If "inches" from the MEASURING SYSTEM option (from
the CREATE-LAYOUT menu) is selected,  you can enter your page size
in inches (same is true for pica and centimeters). You do not have
to enter the measuring system abbreviation (i.e.  "in" for inches,
"cm"  for centimeters,  "pc" for picas).  The  selected  measuring
system will be the default.

     Next to the item OTHER,  the first number refers to the width
and  the second number refers to the height of the page.  You  can
use the arrow keys to move between the two.

DOUBLE-SIDED DOCUMENT

     If you wish to create a document using left and right  master
pages, you should select this option. A darkened box indicates the
option is selected.

     By  creating left and right master pages,  you can  create  a
document with headers and footers that alternate from even to  odd
pages. Any information placed on a master page will be repeated on
every page in your document.  If you place information on the Left
master page,  it will only appear on even numbered pages.  If  you
place information on the Right master page ,  it will only  appear
on  odd numbered pages.  You can create/view your master  page  by
selecting the "L" or "R" options from the "Page" icon displayed in
the toolbox.

PAGE ORIENTATION

     The PAGE ORIENTATION option allows you to specify if you want
your  document to appear in either a portrait or  landscape  mode.
The  landscape command rotates the selected page size 90  degrees.
Your  page size selection will be reflected on the screen as  well
as  when  the  page is printed.  You  must  select  "portrait"  or
"landscape" prior to creating a document.  If you don't,  portrait
will be the default.

     If you already have a document in memory and select "OK", you
will  see  dialog boxes prompting you to save the file  in  memory
before proceeding.

DISK OPERATIONS - (LOAD, APPEND, SAVE,IMPORT, EXPORT, FORMAT DISK,
AND DELETE)

     When you select an option requiring disk I/O  (Load,  Append,
Save,  Import,  Export,  Format,  and  Delete),  you will see  the
familiar  "ITEM  SELECTOR".  The  "ITEM SELECTOR"  shows  you  the
current  disk  and folder you're using and  a list  of  any  files
which match the displayed 3 character extension.  For example,  if
you select "EXPORT", Publishing Partner will display a list of all
files which have the file extender ".TXT".  If you select  "LOAD",
the  program will display a list of all files which have the  file
extender ".DOC".  The file directory has scroller bars which  work
just like the scroller bars in your desktop.

     The name of the file to be loaded,  saved, deleted, etc. will
appear  in  the space under the word "Selection" when  you  either
type  the  name  of the desired file,  or  click  on  the  desired
filename from the directory.  If you want to use the filename just
selected,  move the pointer to the OK box and click the left mouse
button. If you want to use a different filename, use the BACKSPACE
key to delete the characters of the name and type in the name  you
want (you can also press the ESC key to erase the entire line).

     You  can  also  move the pointer over to a  filename  in  the
directory and double click the left mouse button.  This will cause
the desired operation (Load,  Save, Append, Import, Export, Format
disk, and Delete) to occur.

LOAD DOCUMENT

     The LOAD DOCUMENT option allows you to load a file which  has
already been saved. If you select this option while you still have
a file in memory,  you will see a dialog box prompting you to save
your current document before proceeding.  After verifying that you
want to proceed,  you will see the FILE INDICATOR prompting you to
enter the name of the file you wish to load.

     If  you wish to load a file,  it must have been  saved  using
Publishing Partner.  After selecting the LOAD DOCUMENT option, you
will see a list of files which have the file extender ".DOC".  You
can load a file by typing the file's name or by "double  clicking"
on the filename from the file directory.

APPEND

     The APPEND option from the FILE drop down menu permits you to
merge two files together and create a larger file. When you APPEND
the  second  file to the first file,  you want to  make  sure  the
combined size of both files doesn't exceed the memory  limitations
of  your computer.  The process for using the append option is  as
follows:

     1. Use the LOAD DOCUMENT option and load the first file.
     2. Select APPEND from the FILE drop down menu.
     3.  Select  the file you wish to have "appended" (merged)  to
the file currently residing in memory.

     The  APPEND  operation is now  complete.  The  appended  file
(second file) will be at the end of the first file. You can either
edit  the newly merged files resting in memory or you can use  the
SAVE DOCUMENT option and save the newly merged files.

     The  APPEND  operation  will only work  when  you  have:  (1)
documents  with  equal  page sizes or (2) the  page  size  of  the
document  you're  merging from is less than the page size  of  the
document you're merging to.  Fro example,  you can not merge an  8
1/2" X 12" document into an 8 1/2" by 11" document. If the numbers
were reversed, it would work.

     If  you have information on the MASTER PAGE of two  documents
and then APPEND the two files together, their master pages will be
combined.

SAVE DOCUMENT

     Using  the  save  document option,  you  can  save  the  file
currently residing in memory.  When this option is  selected,  you
will  see the familiar ITEM SELECTOR with a list of  files  having
the filename extender ".DOC".  If you are saving a particular file
for the first time, you will need to enter a unique filename. When
you  save  the  document,  make sure you use  the  file  extension
".DOC".  Otherwise,  the file will not be displayed the next  time
you  select LOAD DOCUMENT.  When satisfied with the filename  just
entered, select OK and that file will be saved.

     If you are resaving the last file that was loaded, Publishing
Partner remembers that filename and displays it the next time SAVE
DOCUMENT  is selected.  If you wish to use the same filename  when
resaving  the  document,  select OK.  You will see  a  dialog  box
indicating  you  are resaving over  an  existing  file.  REMEMBER:
saving  a  document with a filename which has  already  been  used
causes  the file on disk to be erased and written over by the  one
you are now saving. If you decide that you wish to use a different
filename, select CANCEL and rename the file.

IMPORT

     The IMPORT option from the FILE drop down menu permits you to
load a file which was not created with Publishing  Partner.  Using
the  IMPORT  option,  you  can load any  ASCII  text  file,  Degas
picture, or Neochrome picture.
IMPORTING TEXT

     If  you have an ASCII text file which has been  created  with
another word processor,  you can load that file into a  Publishing
Partner  document  by using the IMPORT option from the  FILE  drop
down  menu.  Before  selecting the IMPORT option,  make  sure  you
already have a document residing in memory with a column  selected
to  receive  the IMPORTED text.  Publishing Partner looks  at  the
current  cursor  location and uses that position as  its  starting
point  when  "flowing"  text into  your  document.  TEXT  must  be
imported into an existing column!

     If  the  column  which you are "flowing" text  into  is  TEXT
ROUTED  (see CREATE-LAYOUT menu),  any text which does not fit  in
the column will automatically be placed in the column which it  is
TEXT ROUTED to.  If you have not defined any text routing and  you
"overflow" a column with text,  you will see an "overflow"  button
at  the  lower left edge of the column.  This indicates  you  have
placed more text in a column than will fit.  See SET TEXT  ROUTING
for placement of "overflown" text.

     When you select the IMPORT option,  you will see the familiar
ITEM  SELECTOR and a directory of files which have the  filename
extension  ".TXT".  If  you  wish to IMPORT a  file  which  has  a
different  three character extender,  position the cursor  on  the
line  under prompt "Directory" and delete the extender ".TXT"  and
enter the extender which matches the files you want to IMPORT.  If
you are unsure about the extender of the file you wish to  import,
you  can  display a directory of all the files on  the  disk.  The
process to accomplish this is as follows:

     1.   Position  the  cursor  on  the  line  under  the  prompt
"Directory:"
     2. Press the ESC key to erase that line.
     3. Use the mouse and position the pointer over the shaded box
located  directly above the directory of files and click the  left
mouse button.
     4. You will then see a list of all the files on the disk.

     You  can  enter the name of the file you wish  to  import  by
either  (1)  double  clicking on the  desired  filename  from  the
directory  of  files  or (2) you can enter  the  desired  filename
directly on the line labeled "Selection:" and select OK. In either
case,  the  file selected will be loaded from the disk  and  start
"flowing" at the current cursor location.

     IMPORTANT:  When  you  IMPORT a file,  the  file  will  start
flowing  at the current cursor location.  Make sure you  have  the
cursor positioned exactly where you want text to start "flowing".

IMPORTING PICTURES

     With Publishing Partner,  you can IMPORT pictures from Degas,
Neochrome,  and other supported picture formats. When a picture is
IMPORTED, it will always be placed in the "picture buffer".

     If the "PIC" option from the toolbox is selected (appears  in
reverse video) and you choose IMPORT from the FILE drop down menu,
you will see the ITEM SELECTOR with a list of files which have the
filename extender ".PI?". If you are familiar with Degas, you will
notice  this is the standard file extender with the question  mark
representing the resolution in which the picture was created.  You
can  either  (1) select and IMPORT a picture  from  the  displayed
directory  of  files or (2) enter your own  picture  filename  and
select OK to IMPORT that picture.

     When  the  picture is loaded,  it will be  displayed  on  the
screen.  See  the  [PIC]  option in the toolbox  section  of  this
manual).  If you wish to return to the TEXT mode,  just select the
item in the toolbox labeled "TEXT".

     If the "PIC" option from the toolbox is not selected when you
select IMPORT from the FILE drop down menu,  you can still load  a
picture.  Just enter the name of the picture you want to load  and
select  OK.  If  you wish to view the picture,  select  the  "PIC"
option from the toolbox.

EXPORT

     The EXPORT option from the FILE drop down menu allows you  to
take information created in Publishing Partner and save it to disk
in  a standard ASCII format.  The export command "strips" out  all
control codes which are unique to Publishing Partner.

     When  the EXPORT command is chosen,  Publishing Partner  uses
the column the cursor is resting in as its indicator of what  text
to  EXPORT  (the  entire column will be  exported).  If  you  have
columns which are TEXT ROUTED, all associated columns will also be
exported.

     When  you  select  EXPORT,  you will see  the  familiar  ITEM
SELECTOR.  You will also see a directory of files which have the 3
character  extension of ".TXT".  If no such files  exist,  nothing
will  be  displayed in the directory.  You must enter  a  filename
which will be used when the file is exported. You can use any name
or  file extension you wish.  If you use a filename which  already
exists,  the  old file will be erased and replaced with  the  file
just saved.

FORMAT DISK

     The  FORMAT  DISK option permits you to format  a  disk  from
within Publishing Partner.  This option can be a "life saver" when
you want to SAVE a file and get the message "Disk Full". With this
option,  you can format a new disk and save the existing  document
without ever exiting the program.  The FORMAT DISK option  formats
the disk using the standard Atari protocol.

DELETE FILE

     The  DELETE  FILE option permits you to delete  a  file  from
disk.  When  this  option is selected,  you will  see  the  prompt
"Select  Document  to  Delete" in the upper right  corner  of  the
screen.  After  a  file is selected,  you will see  a  dialog  box
prompting you to verify your choice.

RENAME FILE

     The RENAME FILE option allows you to rename an existing  file
which  has  already  been  saved to  disk.  When  this  option  is
selected,  you will see the prompt "Select File to Rename" in  the
upper  right corner of the screen.  After you select the file  you
wish to RENAME, the prompt in the upper right corner of the screen
will change to "Select New File Name". You should then enter a new
file name and select OK to initiate the operation.

PRINT DOCUMENT

     The PRINT DOCUMENT option permits you to print any Publishing
Partner document residing in memory.  When you select this option,
you will see a dialog box.

COPIES

     You  can  define  how  many copies of  a  document  you  want
printed. You can print between 1 and 99 copies.

COLLATE

     When  you  print more than one copy of a  document,  you  can
specify  the  order  in which you want  the  copies  printed.  For
example,  suppose you want to print 2 copies of a 2 page document.
If  "collate" is selected,  it will print one copy of page  1  and
then  print  1  copy of page 2 and then  repeat  the  process.  If
"collate" is not selected,  then it will print 2 copies of page  1
and 2 copies of page 2.  If you are using a postscript  compatible
printer such as Apple LaserWriter,  your documents will print much
faster if you do not collate your document.

PAGES:

     [] All
     [] From
     This  option allows you to specify if you want to  print  ALL
the pages in you document or just a specific RANGE of  pages.  Use
the mouse and select the option you desire.  Most keyboard editing
commands apply.

SCALING

     [] Full Size
     [] Reduce or Enlarge 100%
     When you print a document, you can control the scaling of the
printout.  If you select FULL SIZE, the document will print at its
original size.  If you select REDUCE OR ENLARGE ______%,  you  can
enter  a  percentage  which  you want  your  document  reduced  or
enlarged when printing.

     The  PRINT option remembers the selections made  last  (since
the  program was loaded) and displays them the next time PRINT  is
selected.

PRINTING WITH GDOS

     If  are using an Epson,  Epson graphics compatible  or  other
GDOS  supported printer,  you will need to be familiar  with  this
section of the manual.

     To initiate the print operation, select the PRINT option from
the  PRINT  DOCUMENT  dialog box.  If  you  have  CONFIGURED  (see
configure)  Publishing  Partner to use the  metafile  GDOS  output
driver, you will see the pages which you are printing flash on the
screen. You will then see the ITEM SELECTOR because the file which
you  are printing must first be printed to  disk.  Therefore,  you
will  have  to give it a name.  Enter a name with  file  extension
".GEM". and select "OK" to verify your choice.

     If  you wish to print your document,  you will have  to  exit
Publishing Partner and use the "OUTPUT.PRG".

     Open the "OUTPUT.PRG" from the desktop.

     If  the  file  you  wish to print is  not  on  the  displayed
directory, choose ADD NAME from the EDIT drop down menu.

     Enter or Select the name of the document you wish to print.

     Once  the file is displayed in the  directory,  select  START
OUTPUT from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select  PRINTER  and  every  document in  the  list  will  be
printed.

     You  can select QUIT from the FILE drop down menu and  return
to the desktop.

PRINT TO SCREEN

     Select SCREEN from the START OUTPUT dialog box.

     Select OK to start the screen display.

     Press a key to view the next document.

MANIPULATING THE PRINT DIRECTORY:

     The  "OUTPUT.PRG"  provides  a fill-in for you  to  list  the
documents you want to print.  This can be helpful when you want to
print  more  than  one document at a  time.  You  can  print  your
documents in any order by arranging the file names on the list.

     When the print directory appears on the screen,  you can: (1)
Add  names to the list (2) Clear the list (NEW) (3) Rearrange  the
list (4) Copy names (DUPLICATE NAME) and (5) Delete names.

Adding Names

     Select ADD NAME from the EDIT drop down menu.

     Select the file you wish to print from the ITEM SELECTOR  (it
must  be the same file which you used when you select  PRINT  from
within Publishing Partner).

     Select "OK" to verify your selection.

Clearing the List

     Select NEW from the FILE drop down menu.

     If  you see a message reminding you to save the output  list,
you can ignore the message by selecting "Continue". If you wish to
save the list, select "Cancel" to stop.

Rearranging the List

     When you create a printing list, the document names appear in
the order the appear within the ITEM SELECTOR.  You can  rearrange
the  names  to  print in any order  you  desire.  To  rearrange  a
printing list:

     Point to the name of the document you wish to move.

     Press and hold down the left mouse button.

     Move  the mouse to move the document to where you want it  on
the list.

Copy Names

     Select  the  document  you  wish  to  COPY  and  then  select
DUPLICATE NAME from the EDIT drop down menu.

Delete Names

     Select the document you wish to DELETE and then select DELETE
NAME from the EDIT drop down menu.

Saving a Printing List

     With a printing list displayed,  select SAVE AS...  from  the
FILE drop down menu.

     Enter  a name to be used to recall the  printing  list.  Make
sure you enter the file extension of "LIS".

     Select "OK" to verify your selection.

Recalling a Printing List

     Select OPEN from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select the name of the file you wish to open.

     Select OK to verify your choice.

Setting Output Options

     You can change how printer and screen printing operates, then
save the changes and recall them during a later printing  session.
To set printer options:

PRINTER OPTIONS:

     Select PRINTER... from the OPTIONS drop down menu.

     Most  of the displayed options are already set from when  you
saved  your  document from within  Publishing  Partner.  The  only
options you may need to modify are "Initial Form Feed:" and "Final
Form Feed:".

     Select OK to verify your choice.

SCREEN OPTIONS:

     Select SCREEN... from the OPTIONS drop down menu.

     "Wait for:" specifies the time to wait before displaying  the
next document.

     "Cycle:" specifies if you want a repeating display.

     Select the options you prefer and "OK" to verify your choice.

Save Option Settings

     Select SAVE OPTIONS from the FILE drop down menu.

     Enter a name for the OPTIONS file.

     Select "OK" to verify your choice.

Recalling the Option Settings

     Select GET OPTIONS... from the FILE drop down menu.

     Select an OPTION file which has already been saved and select
"OK" to verify your choice.

Setting Default OPTIONS

     If  you specify your printer and screen options as a  default
file,  you  will  not have to change the settings every  time  you
print.

     Set OPTION choices for both the printer and the screen.

     Select MAKE DEFAULT from the OPTIONS drop down menu.

PRINTING WITH POSTSCRIPT (APPLE'S LASERWRITER)

     To initiate the print operation, select the PRINT option from
the  PRINT  DOCUMENT  dialog box.  If  you  have  CONFIGURED  (see
configure) Publishing Partner to use the Postscript output driver,
you will see the pages which you are printing flash on the screen.
You  will  also see a message box which will  display  any  errors
detected  by  the printer.  If an error is  detected,  you  should
select  STOP  and try again.  If you wish to  abort  the  printing
operation,  select  the STOP option.  Otherwise,  wait  until  the
document  is  printed and the prompt at the bottom of  the  screen
will change to "DONE".  When this occurs, use the mouse and select
the "DONE" prompt to return to your document.

     NOTE - When printing with Postscript compatible device, it is
not unusual to wait 2 minutes or more for a page to print.

Configure

     The  configure  option allows you to select  the  appropriate
settings for your computer system. You can define:

     (1)  the  print  driver  to  be  used  when  printing  (GDOS,
POSTSCRIPT, etc.)
     (2) method for output (parallel, serial or disk)
     (3) the order in which pages are printed.

     When the CONFIGURE option is selected,  you will see a dialog
box.

OUTPUT DRIVER

     The name of the current print driver is displayed next to the
prompt  "OUTPUT  DRIVER:".  If  you are  not  using  a  POSTSCRIPT
compatible  printer,  you  must  use the  GDOS  "Metafile"  output
driver.

     If you are using a Postscript compatible device,  select LOAD
from  the dialog box and load the file titled "PS.PRT" and  select
"OK" to verify your selection.

     If you wish to reload the "Metafile" driver for printing with
GDOS,  select  LOAD  from the dialog box  and  choose  "META.PRT".
Select "OK" to verify your selection.

SENT TO:

     Using the SENT TO: command, you can specify how you want data
to be transmitted when printing.

     If  you are using the "Metafile" output driver to print  with
GDOS, you must print to disk.

     If you will be printing using a Postscript compatible  device
such as the Apple LaserWriter,  you can specify parallel,  serial,
or disk.  You will need to make the appropriate selection for your
system.

PRINTING TO DISK WITH POSTSCRIPT

     If  you  do not own a postscript compatible device  but  know
someone who does,  this option can be very useful. If you load the
postscript output driver and select "Print to Disk",  you can then
print your Postscript compatible documents to disk instead of  the
printer.

     Using a modem, you can then transmit your Postscript files to
any   Postscript   compatible  printer  and  they   should   print
flawlessly.

PRINT PAGES:

     The PRINT PAGES: option allows you to specify which order you
want  your  pages  to print.  Select the order  which  suits  your
preference.

     Select  "OK"  to verify your selection.  You can  have  these
settings  saved  out to your program disk so you do  not  have  to
change them everytime you load the program.  This is explained  in
the following section.

SAVE PREFERENCES

     The  SAVE PREFERENCES option allows you to save a variety  of
default settings which will be used whenever Publishing Partner is
loaded.  When  you select the SAVE PREFERENCES command,  you  must
have  the  Publishing  Partner program  disk  in  the  drive.  The
following settings will be saved to the disk and will be used  the
next time you load from that disk:

     All setting from the NEW DOCUMENT option
     Tab and Guide settings
     Starting page number
     Default font, points, and attributes, color
     All settings from the FORMAT drop down menu
     Selected FILL and LINE type
     User defined FILL and LINE types
     All settings from the PRINT DOCUMENT option
     All settings from the CONFIGURE option
     All  settings  from  the CREATE  COLUMN  option  except  TEXT
ROUTING
     Default MEASURING SYSTEM
     Fonts to be loaded
     All  disk function pathnames - includes default  disk  drive,
character extensions, and subdirectories.

QUIT

     Selecting  QUIT  allows you to exit  Publishing  Partner  and
return to the desktop.
CREATE-LAYOUT - REFERENCE

     The  CREATE-LAYOUT  menu  allows you to  create  the  general
outline of your document.

CREATE COLUMNS

     The  CREATE COLUMNS option allows you to create and  position
columns precisely on the page. When you select CREATE COLUMNS, you
will see a dialog box.

     Using the arrow keys from the computer keyboard, you can move
from line to line (you can also use the mouse).  Standard  editing
commands apply. Enter the dimensions you want for your margins and
the number of columns for each page.  Publishing Partner will then
place each column in the correct position.

     When the CREATE COLUMNS option is chosen,  it does not  alter
any columns which are already on the page.  This permits you to go
back  and  add  columns using the CREATE  COLUMNS  option  without
having to go back and erase what's already there!  Be careful  not
to overlap any existing columns.

     If you use the CREATE COLUMNS option to create columns  which
start  several  inches below the  top  margin,  immediately  after
"clicking" on the "OK" box the screen may appear as if nothing has
changed.  If  this occurs,  use the vertical scroller bar to  move
down the page.  This will allow you to view the middle section  of
your new page. Another alternative would be to switch to SHOW FULL
PAGE or SHOW 50% from the VIEW drop down menu.

     The  "Pages:"  option allows you to create a range  of  pages
with  the same columnar layout.  Enter the page numbers  that  you
want the specified columnar layout to appear upon and select OK.

TEXT ROUTING OPTIONS

     When using the CREATE COLUMNS option,  you can specify if you
want  the columns to be linked together.  This is a handy  feature
when  you  have  several columns and you want text  to  flow  from
column to column as they become filled.

     If you select the "No Routing:" option,  the columns will not
be  linked together.  If a column becomes filled,  you will see  a
"text  overflow"  button appear at the bottom left corner  of  the
column.  If you position the mouse over the "text overflow" button
and click the mouse,  the pointer will change to a "text overflow"
icon  and  any  text which didn't fit in the column  will  now  be
resting in the icon.  You will see the prompt "Select column - To"
in the upper right corner of the screen.  This is a short  message
indicating  that  you  can place the "overflown"  text  by  simply
clicking  on another column.  If you accidentally clicked  on  the
"text overflow" button,  you can cancel the operation by selecting
any option from the toolbox.

     When you place"overflown" text from one column into  another,
you  create a link between the 2 columns.  If after linking the  2
columns together you go back an add text to the first column,  any
text  which doesn't fit will be "pushed" into the  second  column.
Conversely,  if  you delete text from the first column,  any  text
which fits from the second column will "pop back".  Once a  column
is linked,  you can move the cursor from column to column just  by
holding down the arrow key on the computer. If the columns are not
linked  together,  you must use the mouse to move from  column  to
column when entering text.

"NO ROUTING"

     If  you select the "No Routing" option when using the  CREATE
COLUMNS option, the columns will not be linked together.

"ONLY ROUTE THIS PAGE"

     If  this option is selected,  it will only link  the  columns
within  a  page.  If  you  are working  with  a  large  multi-page
document,  this option is suggested.  If you "text route" a  large
multi-page document,  it will slow the system when editing at  the
beginning of the document.

"ROUTE ENTIRE DOCUMENT"

     This  option will cause all the columns and all the pages  to
be  linked  together.  Care should be taken when linking  a  large
multi-page  document.  Depending  on the characteristics  of  your
document,  you  will  need  to experiment to  find  the  operative
settings.

EDIT TABS AND GUIDES

     Publishing Partner allows you to set your own "tab stops" and
"guides".  A  check mark will appear next to the option  which  is
currently selected.

TAB KEY

     When the TAB key is used with Publishing Partner,  it  causes
the  cursor to "jump" to the next tab stop.  If text lies  between
the cursor and the TAB key before it is pressed, that text will be
"pushed" forward to align with the next tab stop.

GUIDES

     Publishing  Partner  allows you to create an  imaginary  line
containing  a "magnetic attraction".  This option is very  helpful
when  you  are  trying to align several graphic  objects  along  a
common  border.  When  an  object is  placed  near  a  guide,  the
"magnetic  pull" causes the object to be pulled next to  it.  With
this option, you can insure that all objects line up perfectly.

SETTING TABS AND GUIDES

     If you wish to edit the tab stops or guides,  you must  first
display  the  RULER  (select SHOW RULER from the  VIEW  drop  down
menu).  Depending  on  which item is selected (edit tabs  or  edit
guides),  the  selected option can be adjusted by using the  mouse
and  clicking  on the ruler.  If you click on an existing  tab  or
ruler guide, it will disappear. If you click where no tab or guide
is, one will appear.

Tab Example:

     Here is how you would place a tab stop at 2.5 inches from the
left edge of the document.

     Select EDIT TABS from the CREATE-LAYOUT drop down menu.

     Select SHOW RULERS from the VIEW drop down menu.

     Use the mouse and position the pointer over the 2.5 inch mark
on the horizontal ruler and click the left mouse button.

     You will see that you have just created a tab stop.

GUIDE Example:

     Here  is how you would place a guide at 2.5 inches  from  the
top of the document.

     Select EDIT GUIDES from the CREATE-LAYOUT drop down menu.

     Select SHOW RULERS from the VIEW drop down menu.

     Use  the  mouse and position the pointer over  the  2.5  inch
marker on the vertical ruler and click the left mouse button.

     You will see that you have just created a guide.

SNAP TO GUIDES

     The  SNAP  TO GUIDES option allows you to turn  the  magnetic
attraction of guides on and off.  If a check mark appears next  to
the option,  then it is on.  If no check mark appears,  then it is
off.  Repeatedly selecting the option will turn the SNAP TO GUIDES
on and off.

INSERT PAGE

     The  INSERT  PAGE command allows you to insert a  blank  page
(with the master page format) between 2 existing pages.  When  you
choose this option, you will see a dialog box asking you where you
want  the blank page to be inserted.  As prompted on  the  screen,
enter the page number where you want the new page to be  inserted.
If  you  are inserting between 2 existing  pages,  all  subsequent
pages  following  the insertion will be "pushed  back"  one  page.
Nothing is deleted,  just moved.  If you make a mistake,  you  can
always delete that page.

DELETE PAGE

     The  DELETE  PAGE command allows you to  delete  an  existing
page.  When  you  select this option,  you will see a  dialog  box
asking you which page you want to delete.  Enter the desired  page
number you want deleted.  If you delete a page between 2  existing
pages, all subsequent pages following the deletion will be "pushed
forward" one page.

SET AS A CONSTANT

     The SET AS A CONSTANT command allows you to create a  graphic
object  (line,  box,  circle,  text,  etc.) outside a  column  and
specify that it be inserted into the master page. With this option
you can create an object on page 1 and send it to the master  page
instead of having to recreate it on the master page.  This  option
is supplied primarily for convenience so you don't have to  select
the master page option every time you wish to create something for
it.

     The procedure for using SET AS A CONSTANT is very simple.  If
you  wish to copy an already existing object to the  master  page,
first  select the object and then choose SET AS  A  CONSTANT.  The
selected  object will then appear on every page in your  document.
Below  is a short reminder on how to "select" an object.  You  may
also  want  to  refer to the TOOLBOX section  of  the  manual  for
additional information.

SELECTING AN OBJECT

     In order to select an object,  make sure you're in the OBJECT
EDITOR (select the arrow from the toolbox),  move the pointer over
the desired object, and then click the left mouse button. When the
item is selected, you will see sizing squares on its corners. Once
this  occurs,  you  can  move  this item to  the  master  page  by
selecting SET AS A CONSTANT. This will copy the selected object to
the master page.

A Shortcut

     If  you  are  entering text outside a column  or  drawing  an
object such as a line,  box,  circle, it is the currently selected
object even though no sizing squares appear.  Thus, you can select
SET  AS  A CONSTANT and send the item to the master  page  without
first selecting it using the OBJECT EDITOR.

SET TEXT ROUTING

     If you created columns without text routing, this command can
be used to link columns together. Here's how:

     Create two columns with no text routing.

     Select the SET TEXT ROUTING command.

     The  mouse pointer will change to 4 arrows and you  will  see
the prompt "Select column - from" in the upper left corner of  the
screen.

     This  message is prompting you to select the column you  want
to  link from.  You can use the scroller bars,  move from page  to
page  or  select a different viewing mode without  disturbing  the
process.

     Position the pointer over the first column and click the left
mouse button.

     The  pointer  will change to a "text overflow" icon  and  you
will see the prompt "Select column - to" in the upper right corner
of the screen.  This message is prompting you to select the column
you  want to link to.  You will need to click on the TEXT icon  in
the toolbox to exit the SET TEXT ROUTING mode.

     You  have  just text routed 2 columns together.  If  you  are
entering information in the first column and becomes  filled,  the
text will overflow into the second column.

     This  option  is  provided to give  you  the  flexibility  to
designate exactly how columns are linked together.  As an example,
you could use this option to link the third column on page two  to
the fifth column on page eight.

INSERT PAGE NUMBER

     The  INSERT  PAGE  NUMBER command permits  you  to  insert  a
command  in  your  document which say "Display  the  current  page
number  here".  The INSERT PAGE NUMBER command can be used on  any
page including the MASTER PAGE.

     When the INSERT PAGE NUMBER option is selected,  it tells the
program  to look at the current cursor location and use that  spot
to display the correct page number.  You must be in the TEXT  mode
before selecting this command.

AUTOMATIC PAGE NUMBERING

     If you want your pages to be numbered automatically, just use
the  INSERT PAGE NUMBER command on a master page.  The letter  "M"
will  appear on the master page and the current page  number  will
appear on all subsequent pages.

     If you place the INSERT PAGE NUMBER command inside a  column,
the displayed page number will move as you edit text.  This may or
may not be advantageous for you. If you want the page number to be
stationary, create it as a text object (press control + left mouse
button outside a column).

SET STARTING PAGE NUMBER

     When  this  option is selected,  you will see  a  dialog  box
prompting you to enter a starting page number.  When you create  a
document, it does not have to start at page one. You can enter any
number  between  1  and  999.  The  maximum  document  size  which
Publishing Partner will allow is 99 pages.  With this in mind, you
could  create a document and set its starting page number at  367.
this would permit you to automatically page number up to page 466.
If you wanted to continue,  you would have to start a new document
and set its starting page number at 467.

MEASURING SYSTEM

     The  MEASURING  SYSTEM  option allows  you  to  specify  what
measuring  system you want the RULERS,  CREATE  COLUMNS,  and  NEW
DOCUMENT  options to use.  After selecting MEASURING  SYSTEM,  you
will see a dialog box.

     To  select your preference,  position the mouse pointer  over
the desired option and click the left mouse button.

VIEW - REFERENCE

VIEW

     The VIEW drop down menu gives you the opportunity to view the
page from several perspectives.

SHOW MULTIPLE PAGES

     The  SHOW  MULTIPLE PAGES option allows you to view  2  pages
side by side on one screen.  While the pages most likely will  not
be readable,  they will allow you to view the overall layout. This
will  assist  you when trying to maintain a standard  page  format
from page to page.

SHOW FULL PAGE

     The  SHOW FULL PAGE command allows you to  create,  view  and
edit  an entire page on one screen.  This option is  very  helpful
when creating columns and GRAPHIC OBJECTS which span more than one
screen in the regular viewing mode (SHOW ACTUAL SIZE).  Since  the
SHOW  FULL PAGE is a variable percentage reduction of  the  actual
page  size,  it may be necessary to edit items in the SHOW  ACTUAL
SIZE mode to obtain exact alignment.

SHOW 50%

     The SHOW 50% command permits you to create,  view,  and  edit
50% of the page at one time.

SHOW ACTUAL SIZE

     This  is  the default mode and will probably be the  mode  in
which  you  will  do most of your  data  entry  and  editing.  The
information displayed on the screen will be the same size as  when
it's printed.

SHOW 200%

     The  SHOW 200% command allows you to view your page as if  it
were  enlarged twice its size.  This item is very useful when  you
are trying to align something in a particular place.  This command
gives you an extra level of precision to check for  alignment.  As
with the previous viewing modes,  you can create,  view,  and edit
your document in this mode.

SHOW FULL WIDTH

     This command allows you to view the width of any page on  the
screen.  This can be helpful for occasions when you are constantly
moving the horizontal scroller bar.

SHOW/SET USER SCALE

     The  SHOW/SET  USER  SCALE option permits you  to  enter  any
viewing reduction or enlargement of the page between 15 and 999%.

     The  SHOW/SET  USER SCALE also has a  different  purpose.  As
stated  earlier  in  the "Step by  Step  Instructions  for  Common
Operations"  section of this manual,  this option can be  used  to
reduce or enlarge the page so that any particular point size  will
appear  in  12 points.  Since this is the native  point  size  for
Publishing Partner,  the program runs fastest when this point size
is displayed on the screen.

     For  example,  suppose you want to create a document using  9
point type. Without this option, it would be difficult to read the
9 point type on the screen.  However, this is no longer a problem.
Just  select the SHOW/SET USER SCALE option and press the ESC  key
to clear the line.  Type "9p". You will now be viewing the page at
a  133% enlargement so the 9 point characters appear as  12  point
characters  on the screen.  This will make your job of data  entry
much  easier.  When you are finished,  you can select SHOW  ACTUAL
SIZE  or SHOW FULL PAGE to see exactly how the document will  look
before it is printed.

BRING TO FRONT

     The BRING TO FRONT command is only useful when you have 2  or
more objects which overlap one another. When this occurs, you need
to have some way of viewing and selecting the information which is
not visible.  Instead of repositioning the objects,  you can leave
them on top of each other and then use the BRING TO FRONT  command
to place the back object on top.

     Suppose  you have 3 items stacked on top of one  another  and
you want to view the last item.  To do this,  you must first be in
the  OBJECT EDITOR (select the arrow from the  toolbox).  You  can
SELECT the last item from the stack by moving the pointer over the
"stack"  of 3 item and simultaneously press the ALTERNATE key  and
the left mouse button.  This selects the last item from a stack of
objects.  If any of the object's corners are visible, you will see
sizing squares around them.  This indicates the item is  selected.
Once this is done,  you can select the BRING TO FRONT command  and
the last item will be moved to the top.  The information below the
object will not be lost even though it may not be visible.

SEND TO BACK

     The SEND TO BACK command,  like the SEND TO FRONT command, is
only  useful when you have 2 or more objects "stacked" on  top  of
one another.  If you have a stack of objects and you want to  send
the topmost item to the rear so you can view what's behind it, you
would use the SEND TO BACK command.

     To do this, make sure you're in the OBJECT EDITOR (select the
arrow from the toolbox).  Move the pointer over the stack of items
and  click the left mouse button.  You will see sizing squares  on
the  corners of the topmost object indicating it is  The  selected
object. Once the item is selected, you can choose SEND TO BACK and
that item will be placed at the bottom of the "stack".

SHOW RULERS

     The  SHOW RULERS command allows you to display rulers on  the
screen. The ruler feature is very helpful in allowing you to place
objects  exactly  where you desire.  You can specify the  type  of
ruler  you  want by selecting MEASURING SYSTEM  from  the  CREATE-
LAYOUT  drop  down menu.  When the rulers are  visible,  you  will
notice "hash-marks" on the rulers which correspond to the pointers
position on the screen.  As you move the pointer, you will see the
corresponding "hash-marks" move accordingly.  This permits you  to
line  things up exactly as you desire.  You will also see the  tab
and guide marks.

SHOW TEXT ROUTING

     If  you have columns which are linked together  through  TEXT
ROUTING,  this  option permits you to view the order in which  the
columns are linked.

     When this option is selected,  you will see 3 sets of  number
at the top of each column.

      First number: Column Routed From
     Second number: Current Column #
      Third number: Column Routed To

     When the SHOW TEXT ROUTING option is selected, the first line
in  each  column  will not be readable because  the  text  routing
information is displayed there. For this reason, you will probably
want  to turn off SHOW TEXT ROUTING when editing  a  document.  As
with  most other options in this menu,  repeatedly selecting  this
object will select and deselect it.

SHOW PICTURES

     When you load a picture from Degas,  Neochrome,Tiny, or other
supported  picture  format,   you  can  incorporate  that  picture
directly into a Publishing Partner document.  however,  if you are
working with a large picture that has been reduced,  it may take a
few  seconds  for  that picture to be  redrawn  when  the  program
redraws the screen.  In order to avoid this delay, you can use the
SHOE PICTURES option. This option allows you to turn the displayed
picture on and off.  When pictures are turned off, the screen will
redraw faster. When the SHOW PICTURES option is activated, a check
mark  will  appear next to it indicating it is  on.  Selecting  it
again will cause the check mark to disappear and the command  will
be turned off. This is another toggle function.

SHOW COLUMN OUTLINE

     The  SHOW COLUMN OUTLINE can be used if you want to view  the
outline of your columns.  This is useful when you want to see just
an  outline  of  the columns on the page.  When  the  SHOW  COLUMN
OUTLINE option is activated,  a check mark will appear next to  it
indicating it is on.  Selecting it again will cause the check mark
to disappear and the command will be turned off.

SHOW GRID

     The SHOW GRID option permits you to turn the background  grid
display  on and off.  When the SHOW GRID option  is  activated,  a
check mark will appear next to it indicating it is  on.  Selecting
it again will cause the check mark to disappear and the grid  will
be turned off.
STYLE - REFERENCE

     The  STYLE drop down menu allows you to "stylize" your  text.
Each  item in the menu is called an attribute.  This menu  can  be
used two ways:

     1)  You  can  highlight an area of text and  then  choose  an
attribute  from  the STYLE menu.  Once the  desired  attribute  is
chosen,  the  highlighted text will change immediately to  reflect
your choice.  You can mix as many attributes as you wish but  some
combinations will be more pleasing than others.  For  example,  if
you  highlighted a word and then selected BOLD from the pull  down
menu,  the  word would automatically become bolded on the  screen.
Since  the  word  remains  highlighted,   you  could  then  select
UNDERLINE and the word would become underlined as well as bold.

     2) You can choose an attribute without first highlighting  an
area  of text.  This will cause the selected attribute to be  used
when  you  start typing.  A check mark indicates the  "active"  or
currently selected attributes.  This method is slightly  different
from  the first because no text on the screen changes  immediately
after an attribute is chosen.  You must type something to see  the
effect  of the attributes.  For example,  if you wanted to type  a
sentence containing two attributes such as underline and  italics,
you  could  simply select ITALICIZE and UNDERLINE from  the  STYLE
drop  down  menu  and then start  typing.  Provided  no  text  was
highlighted prior to choosing the two attributes,  everything  you
type would be underlined and italicized.

TURNING OFF ATTRIBUTES

     If you have text on the screen which has been "stylized"  (an
attribute  selected,  i.e.  bold)  and you wish to  eliminate  the
attribute(s),  you would first highlight the desired text and then
select  NORMAL  from  the STYLE  menu.  The  attribute(s)  of  the
highlighted text would be "stripped" away.  Selecting NORMAL  will
not effect FONT/POINTS or LINE/CHAR SPACING.

     If  you have selected attributes from the STYLE menu  without
previously highlighting text, you will notice a check mark appears
next to them.  As you type,  the selected attributes are displayed
on  the screen.  If you wish to turn off one of these  attributes,
follow the same procedure as you did when you turned it on.  These
are toggle functions.  For example,  if BOLD in the STYLE menu  is
active (has a check mark next to it) and you wanted to  deactivate
it,  just  select the BOLD option and it will become  deactivated.
This is true provided no text was previously highlighted.

Fonts/Points

     The  FONTS/POINTS command allows you to select both the  font
and character size you want in your document. The term FONT refers
to  a character style while the term POINT refers to  a  character
size.  A  point is equal to 1/72 of an inch - 72 points  equals  1
inch.

     When you select the FONT/POINTS option, you will see a dialog
box.

     This menu option enables you to:  (1) select a desired  point
size  (character size),  (2) select a font (character style)  from
memory,  (3)  load  a font from disk and (4) delete  a  font  from
memory.

SELECTING A POINT SIZE

     next  to  the prompt "Point:",  you will  see  the  currently
selected point size. Directly underneath this prompt, you will see
a  window displaying additional point sizes.  You can  select  any
point size between 3 and 72 points (see attributes TALL and  WIDE)
by  using the mouse and positioning the pointer over  the  desired
number and clicking the left mouse button.  If you wish to view  a
point size which is larger or smaller than what's being  displayed
in the "point size window",  you should use the mouse and click on
the scroller arrows to view additional point sizes.  When you find
the  point size you wish to use,  position the pointer  over  that
number and click the left mouse button. You will notice the number
you selected will be displayed next to the prompt "Point:". If you
have text which was highlighted prior to choosing this option, the
highlighted text will change according to the point size you  just
selected. If no text was highlighted prior to choosing a new point
size,  then newly selected point size will be used when you  start
entering text.

     If  you use the mouse and click on the displayed point  size,
you will see a dialog box prompting you to enter a specific  point
size.  You can enter a number between 2 and 216. The largest point
size that can be displayed on the screen will be 72 points. If you
enter a point size larger than 72 points, you will see is 72 point
character on the screen. The program will use the correct vertical
and horizontal spacing for the selected point size.  For  example,
If you enter a 200 point character,  the actual character will  be
displayed in 72 points but the horizontal and vertical spacing  on
the character will be for a 200 point character.  Thus,  you  will
still have an accurate representation of the printed page.

SELECTING A FONT

     Under  the option labeled "Fonts in Memory",  you can  select
one of the screen fonts by simply using the mouse and  positioning
the  pointer  over the desired font and pressing  the  left  mouse
button.  You will know the font has been selected because it  will
appear next to the option labeled "Font:".  If you have text which
was  highlighted prior to choosing this  option,  the  highlighted
text  will  change according to the font you just  selected  after
selecting OK.  If no text was highlighted prior to choosing a  new
font,  then  the newly selected font will be used when  you  start
entering text.

LOADING A SCREEN FONT

     The fonts supplied with Publishing Partner are special screen
fonts  created  specifically for Publishing Partner.  If  you  are
using a non Postscript printing device, you will need to make sure
that  you have both a screen font and corresponding  GDOS  printer
font.  If  you wish to load a screen font from  disk,  select  the
"Load" option and you will see the familiar ITEM SELECTOR. You can
then  select  your desired font by double clicking on  the  font's
name and it will then be loaded into memory (you can type it in as
well).  The  font which you load from disk must have been  created
specifically for Publishing Partner.  Otherwise, the font will bee
ignored.  If you wish to use the font which you just  loaded,  you
will  need  to first select that font by positioning  the  pointer
over the font's name and click the left mouse button.

PRINTER FONTS

     The fonts displayed when using Publishing Partner are  screen
fonts. They are representative of the fonts used when printing. If
you are using a Postscript device,  you can use Helvetica,  Times,
or Courier.  If you are using a non-postscript printer, Publishing
Partner  checks  to see if a matching printer font  exist.  If  it
does,  then that printer font will be used. You may need to change
the names of your GDOS printer fonts to match the names used  with
Publishing Partner's screen fonts. If you attempt to print using a
font which does not have a corresponding printer font,  Publishing
Partner will find a substitute.

DELETING A SCREEN FONT

     When  a  font  is loaded it uses 4K of  memory.  If  you  are
working  on an exceptionally large file,  you may want  to  delete
fonts to conserve memory.  In order to delete a font,  you  should
first  select  the  font you want to delete and  then  select  the
DELETE option from the dialog box.  If you delete a font which  is
used in your current document,  all occurrences of that font  will
change to the "System" font.

     You should double check your document before deleting a  font
from memory.  You will notice the "System" font and "System  Bold"
is   used  in  several  of  Publishing  Partner's  dialog   boxes.
Therefore,  the  program will not allow you to delete these  fonts
since they are an integral part of the program.

NORMAL

     The  NORMAL option deactivates previously active  attributes.
If  no text is highlighted prior to choosing  NORMAL,  all  active
attributes (those attributes with a check mark next to them)  will
be deactivated. If you highlight some text and then select normal,
it  will  remove the attributes associated  with  the  highlighted
text.  It will not,  however,  change "FONTS/POINTS" or "LINE/CHAR
SPACING". For example, if you highlighted an area of text that has
6  attributes  associated with it and then select  normal,  all  6
attributes will be removed.

BOLD

     This  command is used to add emphasis.  It makes the  desired
characters twice as dark as they would regularly be.

UNDERLINE

     The UNDERLINE command draws a line under the desired text.

DOUBLE UNDERLINE

     The DOUBLE UNDERLINE command draws 2 lines under the  desired
text.

ITALICIZE

     The  ITALICIZE command causes the desired characters to  lean
forward.  If ITALICIZE is chosen, it will automatically cancel any
BACKSLANT commands.

BACKSLANT

     The  BACKSLANT command causes the desired characters to  lean
backwards. If BACKSLANT is chosen it will automatically cancel any
italicize commands.

OUTLINE

     The  OUTLINE command causes the desired text to appear  as  a
silhouette.

SHADOW

     The SHADOW command causes the desired characters to be shaded
in such a way that each character appears to cast a shadow.

LIGHT

     The  LIGHT command is just the opposite of BOLD.  Instead  of
making a character darker, it makes it lighter.

MIRROR

     The  MIRROR command flips the character from right  to  left.
The second occurrence of the word was typed in backwards and  then
MIRRORED.

UPSIDE DOWN

     The  UPSIDE DOWN command causes the desired characters to  be
"flipped" from "top to bottom" to "bottom to top".

STRIKE THROUGH

     The  STRIKE THROUGH command causes the desired characters  to
have  a line drawn through the characters.  This option  is  often
used when you want to emphasize that something has changed.

REVERSE TEXT

     The REVERSE TEXT command causes the desired characters to  be
shown in reverse type.  Instead of putting a black character on  a
white  background,  you  can  put a white  character  on  a  black
background.

TALL

     The TALL command causes the height of a desired character  to
be  doubled.  If  you  execute  the TALL command  on  a  12  point
character,  it will then become 24 points tall.  It will, however,
still be 12 points wide.  The TALL command is only functional  for
characters under 72 points in size.  If you try to execute a  TALL
command on a character that is already taller than 72 points,  the
displayed  point  size  will  not  change  but  the  program  will
calculate  and use the proper horizontal and vertical spacing  for
the larger point size.

     By combining the TALL and WIDE command on a character that is
72 points in size,  you can create a 144 point character. The same
idea applies for any character size between 3 and 72 points.

WIDE

     The  WIDE command causes the width of a desired character  to
be doubled. If you execute a WIDE command on a 12 point character,
it will then become 24 points wide.  It will, however, still be 12
points tall.  If you try to execute a WIDE command on a  character
the is already wider than 72 points, the displayed point size will
not  change  but  the program will calculate and  use  the  proper
horizontal and vertical spacing for the larger point size, you can
create  a  144  point character.  The same idea  applies  for  any
character size between 2 and 72 points.

FORMAT - REFERENCE

     The FORMAT menu,  like the STYLE menu,  allows you to  adjust
the appearance of your text.

     The  items pertaining to:  Super and Subscript,  Block  Left,
Center,  Block Right,  Char Justify, Word Justify, Change Margins,
and Line/Char spacing work identically to the attributes found  in
the STYLE menu. These options can be used in one of two ways:

     1)  You can select one of these attributes while  nothing  is
highlighted. When you start typing, that selection will be used.

     2) You can highlight a section of text and then select one of
these commands.  The text will change immediately to reflect  your
selection.

SUPERSCRIPT

     The  SUPERSCRIPT command raises the  highlighted  character's
position  relative  to the baseline.  How hight the  character  is
raised is dependent upon your needs. See CHANGE SUPER/SUB.

BASELINE SCRIPT

     The  BASELINE  SCRIPT  command  returns  text  back  to   the
baseline. It is equivalent to turning off super/subscript.

SUBSCRIPT

     The  SUBSCRIPT  command lowers  the  highlighted  character's
position  relative  to  the baseline.  How far  the  character  is
lowered is dependent upon your needs. See CHANGE SUPER/SUB.

CHANGE SUPER/SUB

     The CHANGE SUPER/SUB command allows you to adjust the  amount
of  space  by which a character is raised  or  lowered.  When  you
select this item you will see a dialog box.

     If you select this option while no text is  highlighted,  you
will  change  the default value used when super  and  subscripting
characters. If you wish to adjust either value, just use the mouse
and position the pointer over one of the arrows and click the left
mouse  button.  You can also use the arrow keys on the  computer's
keyboard.  Each  time  you click the left mouse button  while  the
pointer   is  resting  over  an  arrow,   you  will   notice   the
corresponding attribute will change.  If you select OK, the values
displayed  in the dialog box will be used for super and  subscript
text.

     You  can  also use this option to adjust  existing  super  or
subscript text.  In order to do this,  you must highlight both (1)
the super or subscript character(s) and (2) a portion of  baseline
text in the same line. Once you have the text highlighted, you can
then select the CHANGE SUPER/SUB command and adjust the super  and
subscript values as you desire by simply "clicking" on the arrows.
When you select OK,  the highlighted super or subscript text  will
change according to your selection.  You can press CANCEL to abort
the dialog box.

MAKE UPPERCASE

     The MAKE UPPERCASE command does exactly as its name  implies.
If  you highlight an area of text and then choose MAKE  UPPERCASE,
all highlighted text will be capitalized.

MAKE LOWERCASE

     The  MAKE  LOWERCASE command also does exactly  as  its  name
implies.  If  you highlight an area of text and then  choose  MAKE
LOWERCASE,  all  highlighted  text  will be  placed  in  lowercase
letters.

     The  options  BLOCK  LEFT,  CENTER,  BLOCK  RIGHT,  CHARACTER
JUSTIFY,  and WORD JUSTIFY are all grouped together in the  FORMAT
menu.  These items indicate how text will be aligned in a  column.
Only  one  of these items can be active at a  time.  WORD  JUSTIFY
would cancel the BLOCK LEFT command etc.

     If  you highlight text before selecting one of  these  items,
the  highlighted  text  will  change to  an  alignment  which  you
selected.  For  example,  if you highlighted text and then  choose
CENTER,  the  text  in that line would  become  centered.  If  you
select one of these items without first highlighting text, a check
mark  will appear next to that item indicating you want it  to  be
the default for subsequent text entry.

     For example,  if you chose CENTER without first  highlighting
text, everything you typed thereafter would be centered.

BLOCK LEFT

     The BLOCK LEFT command causes the desired text to be  aligned
along the left margin.

CENTER

     The  CENTER  command  causes text to  be  centered  within  a
column.  If at a later time you resize the column,  that text will
still remain centered.

BLOCK RIGHT

     The BLOCK RIGHT command causes the desired text to be aligned
along the right margin.  If at a later time you resize the column,
that text will still remain blocked right.

CHARACTER JUSTIFY

     The  CHARACTER JUSTIFY command causes the desired text to  be
aligned  on  both  the left  and  right  margins.  The  left/right
justification   is  achieved  by  inserting  space  between   each
character in the line. This is called "micro justification". If at
a  later time you resize the column,  that text will still  remain
character justified.  If you are working with a small column,  you
may  find  cases  where a word is spread apart  because  of  micro
justification.  In  such a case,  you may find it advantageous  to
switch to WORD JUSTIFY.

WORD JUSTIFY

     The  WORD JUSTIFY command also causes the desired text to  be
aligned  on both the left and right margins.  In  this  case,  the
left/right  justification is achieved by inserting  space  between
words  rather  than between characters.  If at a  later  time  you
resize the column, that text will still remain word justified.

CHANGE MARGINS

     The CHANGE MARGINS command allows you to adjust the left  and
right margins within a column.  When you select this menu  option,
you will see a dialog box.

     The CHANGE MARGINS command allows you to adjust the left  and
right margins within a column.  You can adjust the left and  right
margin  by  positioning  the pointer over the  desired  arrow  and
"clicking" the left mouse button.  You can also use the arrow keys
from  the computer's keyboard.  You will notice that the left  and
right  margin indicators will change in the dialog box  each  time
you  click the mouse while the pointer is resting over  an  arrow.
The  minimum value for a margin is zero and the maximum  value  is
1.77 inches.  If at a later time you resize the column,  that text
will  retain its left and right margins.  You can select  the  box
next to the margin line to reset the margin to zero.

     SUGGESTION  - Unless you want an entire column  indented,  it
may be preferable to type in the text first, then highlight it and
select the CHANGE INDENT command.  The reason for this  suggestion
is  that the program does not set a "begin indent and end  indent"
command within the text.  Therefore, if you start editing a column
containing several indentations,  the text will be rejustified  to
reflect the margin settings used when the column was created.

LINE/CHAR SPACING

     The  LINE/CHAR  SPACING  command allows  you  to  adjust  the
spacing between characters and the spacing between lines. When you
select this option you will see a dialog box.

     The LINE/CHAR SPACING command permits you to adjust the  line
and  character  spacing  of your text.  You can  adjust  the  line
spacing  and/or  character spacing by simply using the  mouse  and
positioning the pointer over the desired arrow and "clicking"  the
left  mouse  button.  You  can also use the arrow  keys  from  the
computer  keyboard.  You will notice that the line  and  character
spacing  indicators  will change in the dialog box each  time  you
click the mouse while the pointer is resting over an arrow.

     The  line  spacing is measured in points (1/72  of  an  inch)
while  the character spacing is measured in units.  The  character
spacing  unit  is  not  an  exact  measurement  because  it  is  a
proportional  number calculated by the character's font and  point
size.
MANUAL KERNING

     The MANUAL KERNING option allows you to adjust the  character
spacing between any two characters.

     Position the pointer between two characters.

     Select MANUAL KERNING.

     The  two characters which the cursor was  positioned  between
will be displayed in the dialog box.

     Use the mouse and click on the arrows to adjust the character
spacing. You can also use the arrows from the computer keyboard.

     When  you  select  OK,  the character  spacing  for  the  two
characters will be adjusted as you specified.

YOU CANNOT SELECT THIS OPTION IF THE CURSOR IS NOT RESTING BETWEEN
TWO CHARACTERS.

MANUAL HYPHENATE

     This  command  is provided so you can insert  "soft  hyphens"
into your document. There may be occasions when you want a word to
be  hyphenated.  With  this option,  you can  insert  an  imbedded
command in the word which says "Hyphenate" the word if it  appears
at the end of a line,  otherwise,  leave the word intact.  To  use
this command, position the cursor between the two characters where
you  want a discretionary hyphen to appear and then select  MANUAL
HYPHENATION.  That's  it!  If the word does not become  hyphenated
immediately,  don't worry.  It will be hyphenated if you edit  the
text and cause the word to appear at the end of a line.
EDIT - REFERENCE

     The  EDIT  drop down menu allows you to  perform  some  basic
editing operations such as moving text,  deleting/inserting text,
along with search and replace.

DELETE

     The  DELETE command allows you to delete a highlighted  area.
Using this command, you can delete text, columns, and graphics. If
you want to delete text,  just highlight the desired text and then
choose DELETE from the EDIT drop down menu (you can also highlight
the  desired  text  and then press the DELETE key  to  delete  the
highlighted  material).  If  you want to  delete  a  column,  text
outside a column,  or graphic image,  you should first go into the
OBJECT EDITOR (select the arrow from the toolbox),  use the  mouse
and select the object you want to delete,  and then choose  DELETE
from the EDIT drop down menu (once an object is selected,  you can
also press the DELETE key to delete the object).

SEARCH

     The SEARCH command allows you to "look" for a particular word
or  phrase  in a column.  If you accidentally  select  the  SEARCH
option,  you can exit by selecting CANCEL which is located in  the
upper right corner of the dialog box.  After selecting SEARCH, you
will see the following dialog box. The SEARCH dialog box remembers
the last item searched for and displays it when the SEARCH  option
is selected.  If you want to search for something else, just press
ESC to clear the line.  You can also use the arrow keys,  and  the
delete  keys  on the computer keyboard to edit the  line.  At  the
bottom  of  the dialog box you can select the direction  you  want
search  to occur.  The starting point for the search is always  at
the current cursor location.  FORWARD indicates you want to search
from the current cursor location forward to the end of the column.
REVERSE  does  just  the opposite and searches  from  the  current
cursor  location to the beginning of the column.  ENTIRE  says  to
ignore  the  current cursor location and start  searching  forward
from the beginning of the column.  You will notice that FORWARD is
bolded indicating it can be selected by pressing the RETURN key.

     You  can  search  for  either the  FIRST  OCCURRENCE  or  ALL
OCCURRENCES of a match.  You will usually see that ALL OCCURRENCES
is selected because it has A FILED SQUARE next to it.  If you wish
to  change this,  just click the pointer on the  FIRST  OCCURRENCE
box.

     If  you specify FIRST OCCURRENCE when searching for a  match,
one  or two things will happen.  Either a match will be found  and
the  word  will be highlighted or no match will be found  and  the
cursor  will  remain in its original position.  When  a  match  is
found, the "matched" word will be highlighted. You can then assign
the highlighted text any new attribute you desire.  If you  choose
to start typing or move the cursor,  the match will  automatically
become  dehighlighted.   If  you  specify  ALL  OCCURRENCES   when
searching  for  a match and a match is found,  you'll  see  a  new
dialog  box.  You can then either CONTINUE searching for the  next
occurrence  or STOP right there.  If you choose  STOP,  the  match
found will remain highlighted.

     You  can  also  specify if you want the  search  to  be  CASE
SENSITIVE (matching both upper and lower case).  If CASE SENSITIVE
is selected,  you're indicating you want to find exact matches  of
the  search criteria.  If CASE SENSITIVE is not  selected,  you're
indicating  you  want the program to  ignore  capitalization  when
searching for a match.  If you see A FILLED SQUARE, this indicates
the option has been selected.

REPLACE

     The  REPLACE command is very similar to the  SEARCH  command.
There  are a few differences in this menu compared to  the  SEARCH
menu.

     First,  there  is  a new line entitled  "Replace:".  You  can
easily move between the two lines by using either the up and  down
arrow  keys or by pointing and clicking the mouse on  the  desired
line. The REPLACE line indicates what information is to be used as
the "replacement string" if a match is found.

     Second,  the CASE SENSITIVE command still works the same  way
when searching for a match.  However,  there is a new meaning when
you replace something.  If case sensitive is selected,  [A  FILLED
SQUARE],  the  program  will replace the match exactly as  it  was
typed in the REPLACE line. Otherwise, if the CASE SENSITIVE option
is deselected, the program will replace the matched string just as
it appears in the text (it will not alter capitalization).

     Third,  you will see a new item called "Verify".  This option
permits  you  to "OK" the replacement before it  is  executed.  If
VERIFY is selected (A FILLED SQUARE), then you will be prompted to
answer NEXT,  REPLACE, or STOP when a match is found. If VERIFY is
not selected,  (AN OPEN SQUARE),  you will not be prompted when  a
match is found.  Instead,  the program will automatically  execute
the REPLACE command.

     Fourth,  if you are searching for ALL OCCURRENCES and a match
is  found,  you  will see a new dialog box prompting  you  to  (1)
ignore the match and look for the NEXT occurrence, (2) REPLACE the
match,  or  (3) STOP the search.  You will notice that REPLACE  is
bolded.  This  indicates  it  can  be  selected  by  pressing  the
RETURN key.

COPY TO BUFFER

     The  COPY  TO  BUFFER  command  allows  you  to  pick  up   a
highlighted  area (text,  graphics,  pictures) and copy it to  the
copy buffer (a temporary storage area).  The original  highlighted
area will remain intact. When information is COPIED TO the buffer,
any previous information residing in the buffer will be erased.
MOVE TO BUFFER

     The  MOVE  TO  BUFFER  command  allows  you  to  pick  up   a
highlighted area (text or graphics) and move it to the buffer. The
originally  highlighted area will be erased from the  page.  Don't
worry! It's not lost, just resting in the buffer. When information
is MOVED TO the buffer,  any previous information residing in  the
buffer will be erased.

COPY FROM BUFFER

     The  COPY FROM BUFFER command works the opposite of the  COPY
TO BUFFER command. You can make a single copy of text, graphics or
a  picture,  in the buffer and copy it to several places  in  your
document.  If you want to place information in your document  from
the  buffer,  you should first position the cursor where you  want
text  to  start "flowing".  You would then select  the  COPY  FROM
BUFFER command.  The contents of the buffer would start flowing at
the current cursor location.

MOVE FROM BUFFER

     The  MOVE  FROM BUFFER command is similar to  the  COPY  FROM
BUFFER  command.  The only difference is that after you execute  a
MOVE FROM BUFFER command, no information remains in the buffer.

INSERT MODE

     The  INSERT  MODE is a toggle which can be turned on  or  off
simply by selecting it from the EDIT menu.  If the INSERT MODE  is
on  (you  will see a check mark next to it in the EDIT  drop  down
menu),  you  can  enter text in the middle of a  sentence  without
loosing any letters.  The text will be pushed back as you type. If
the INSERT MODE is on and you reselect it,  it will be turned  off
(the option will no longer contain a check mark). You will then be
in  the "type over" mode.  If you start typing where text  already
exists, it will be overwritten by the newly typed text.
KEYBOARD EQUIVALENTS

     Many  of  the  drop down menu display both an  option  and  a
corresponding keyboard equivalent.  For example, if you are typing
and wish to underline a word, press "Alternate U". If the word was
highlighted,  it will now be underlined. If not, anything you type
afterwards will be underlined.

     If  you  wish to turn off any attribute  from  the  keyboard,
press  "Alternate N" to return the text to  NORMAL.  Most  options
within  the STYLE and FORMAT drop down menus use  the  "Alternate"
key.  The  BLOCK  LEFT  and  BLOCK RIGHT  commands  are  the  only
exceptions which require that you use the "Control" key.

     If  you wish to use a keyboard equivalent for a  menu  option
which isn't displayed, the keyboard equivalent for those items are
as follows:

CREATE LAYOUT - Press "Esc" + "C" + the first letter  abbreviation
as listed below.

     Create Columns = M (Multiple columns)
     Edit Tabs = T
     Edit Guides = G
     Snap to Guides = S
     Insert Page = I
     Delete Page = D
     Set as a Constant = C
     Set Text Routing = R
     Insert Page Number = P
     Set Starting Page = O
     Measuring System = N

     For example,  if you wanted to view the CREATE COLUMNS dialog
box  without using the mouse,  you could press the "Esc"  key  and
then the letter "C".  You will see a list of abbreviations at  the
top  of  the screen.  When you press the letter  "M",  the  CREATE
COLUMNS dialog box will appear. If the abbreviations appear in the
upper  right  corner  of the screen and you  wish  to  cancel  the
operation, just press the "Esc" key or the "Return" key.

VIEW - Press "Esc" + "V" + the first letter abbreviation as listed
below.

     Show Multiple Pages = M (multiple)
     Show Full Page = E (entire)
     Show 50% = 5
     Show Actual Size = A (actual)
     Show 200% = 2
     Show Full Width = W (width)
     Show/Set User Scale = U
     Bring to Front = F
     Send to Back = B
     Show Rulers = R
     Show Text Routing = S
     Show Pictures = P
     Show Column Outline = C
     Show Grid = G
KEYBOARD COMMANDS FOR DIALOG BOXES

     All  dialog  boxes (except the ITEM SELECTOR)  have  keyboard
equivalents as well. Just press the "Alt" key and the first letter
of  the option you wish to choose.  For example,  if you  wish  to
select "OK" from a dialog box,  press "Alt" "O" to execute the  OK
command.

     If you are viewing a dialog box which requires you to  select
it by pressing the "Alternate" key and a number.  For example,  if
you are viewing the REPLACE dialog box and want to select the "ALL
OCCURRENCES" option,  you would press "Alternate 2" because it  is
the  second  box in the list.  If you wanted to select  the  first
option, you would press "Alternate 1".

     As stated earlier in the tutorials,  it is suggested that you
create  and  enter text into columns when working  with  documents
that use a paragraph format.

TEXT EDITOR

     When  entering text into a column,  you have several  editing
commands available to you.

CURSOR MOVES

     [left arrow] - move one space to the left
     Control + [left arrow] - move to beginning of line
     [right arrow] - move one space to the right
     Control + [right arrow] - move to end of line
     Esc + [up arrow] - move to beginning of the column
     Esc + [down arrow] - move to end of the column
     Control + J - delete from cursor to beginning of line
     Control + K - delete line which cursor is resting in
     Control + L - delete from cursor to end of line
     Delete key - delete character to the right of cursor
     Backspace key - delete character to the left of cursor

KILL TEXT ROUTING

     Esc + K - deletes text routing in column which the cursor  is
resting - turns of text routing

PAGE COMMANDS

     Page Forward (Control "U")
     Page Backward (Control "T")

SCROLL BAR KEYBOARD COMMANDS

     The  arrows on the scroller bars have  keyboard  equivalents.
The key combinations from a diamond pattern on your keyboard.

     [up arrow] - Control "Y"
     [down arrow] - Control "B"
     [left arrow] - Control "G"
     [right arrow] - Control "H"

DELETIONS

     Whenever  text or an object is selected,  you can  press  the
BACKSPACE  or  DELETE  key to delete  it.  Other  delete  commands
include:

     Control "K" - "Kill" current line
     Control "J" - Delete from cursor to beginning of line
     Control "L" - Delete from cursor to end of line

MACRO

     A  macro is allows you to perform a sequence of  instructions
by pressing just one key. Here is an example:

     Type the "hello" and then highlight it.

     Press the "Alternate" key and the F1 (function) key. You will
see  the  prompt  start macro in the upper  right  corner  of  the
screen.

     Press the "Alternate" key and the letter "F"

     Press the "Alternate" key and the letter "P"

     Press the "Esc" key

     Type "24" and press the "Return" key

     Press the "Return" key again

     Press  the "Alternate" key and the F1 (function)  key  again.
You will see the prompt end macro in the upper right corner of the
screen.

     We have just defined a macro which will cause any highlighted
text to be placed in 24 point type.

     Now type the word "Goodbye" and then highlight it.

     Press the "F1" function key.  You will see the commands  that
you typed will be repeated.

     Your  text  should now be in 24 point type.  If you  wish  to
define a macro:

     Press the "Alternate" key and function key.

     You will then see the prompt "Start Macro" in the upper  left
corner  of  the screen.  Each time a key is pressed,  it  will  be
stored  in  a macro buffer.  When you are  finished  entering  the
keystrokes which you want to save.

     Press the "Alternate" key and the same function key you  used
to start the macro.

     This  will define the boundaries of the macro.  Once a  macro
has  been defined,  you can press the function key to execute  the
key strokes saved in the macro buffer.

     A  macro can contain up to 63 characters and can be  used  on
the 10 function keys.

     A macro only captures keyboard commands.  It does not capture
mouse movement and clicks.  If you wish to select an option from a
drop  down  menu  or  dialog  box,   you  must  use  its  keyboard
equivalent.

MEMORY ALLOCATION

     When  a column is created,  approximately 4K is reserved  for
the  column.  However,  when  you reload  the  same  file,  memory
allocation becomes dynamic and allocates memory on an "as  needed"
basis.  Each screen font loaded occupies approximately 4.4K. A 32K
buffer is reserved for pictures and is allocated when the  program
is  loaded.  Having a picture in memory does not affect  available
memory  for  documents.  There  is no  command  for  deleting  the
contents  in the "PIC" section of the toolbox because the  picture
is automatically deleted when a new picture is loaded in.

REDRAWING THE SCREEN

     There  may be times when the screen looks irregular or  fails
to execute a command properly, if such an occurrence arises, press
"Esc" "U" to force a screen redraw.

     Each  time  a character is typed in a column,  that  line  is
erased  and  only  the characters associated  with  the  line  are
redrawn.  For  this reason,  it is recommended that you not  place
pictures  or graphics in a column.  If you start typing on a  line
which  contains  graphics,  the  graphics look  as  if  they  have
disappeared. However, when executing a screen redraw, you will see
nothing  has  been lost.  Remember,  columns can easily  be  moved
and/or sized at any time.

PRINTER FONTS FOR GDOS

     The  fonts  supplied by Softlogik are screen  fonts  only.  A
different  GDOS  font  is  used when  printing.  At  the  time  of
Publishing  Partner's  release,   there  is  only  one  GDOS  font
currently available - Helvetica (Swiss).  If you would like a copy
of  the  character set editor used to  create  Publishing  Partner
screen fonts, just send a disk and $10 to Softlogik Corp- 4129 Old
Baumgartner- St. Louis Mo 63129.

PRINTER FONTS FOR POSTSCRIPT

     Publishing  Partner supports 3 Postscript fonts -  Helvetica,
Times Roman and Courier.  Softlogik intends to release  additional
Postscript  fonts.  If  you  wish  to keep  abreast  of  new  font
availability, indicate so on your registration form.

GDOS LIMITATIONS

     Do  to  the present limitations with GDOS,  there are  a  few
special print commands which are unavailable with the GDOS  output
driver supplied on the Publishing Partner program disk. If you are
printing using a GDOS output program, the following attributes may
not work on your printer:

     Backslant
     Mirror
     Tall
     Wide
     Upside Down

PRINTING COLOR SEPARATIONS

     When printing a document, you can specify which colors in the
document  you want printed.  If you accept the default  of  "All",
then   the   entire  document  will  be  printed   without   color
separations. If you enter a number between 0 and 31, then only the
corresponding colors in the document will be printed.

     The colors in the COLOR dialog box are numbered from 0 to  31
starting from the upper left corner counting downward row by row.

MEASURING

     72 points to an inch
     12 points to a pica
     6 picas to an inch
