- The following is an announcement from New Horizons Software, Inc.
- concerning the release and features of ProWrite 3.3.
-
- I don't work for them, I'm just good friends with them.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- New Horizons is pleased to announce a new upgrade to ProWrite, the
- best selling Amiga word processor. ProWrite version 3.3 adds a number
- of enhancements over version 3.2; these enhancements include:
-
- * HotLinks
- ProWrite 3.3 supports the HotLinks dynamic data exchange system
- developed by Soft-Logik Publishing. This gives you a very close
- integration between ProWrite and other HotLinks-capable programs; you
- can edit text in ProWrite and have it automatically incorporated into
- your desktop publishing system, or change graphics in a drawing or
- painting program and have the changes automatically brought into
- ProWrite!
-
- * Automatic Text Wrap Around Pictures
- You can now have text automatically wrap around pictures, either
- block-style or following the picture's curves, and with an adjustable
- offset.
-
- * Picture Enhancements
- There are a great many enhancements to picture handling in ProWrite
- 3.3, including the ability to name pictures and search for them in
- your documents, and precise control over a picture's location and
- size.
-
- * Print Preview
- Now you can get a reduced view of the each page of your document, to
- see on the screen how your final layout looks.
-
- * Improved Font Handling
- You can specify any font size for your text, not just those that are
- installed on your system. This gives you complete creative control
- over your text's appearance, and is especially useful if you are using
- outline fonts or printing on PostScript printers.
-
- * System Clipboard Support
- ProWrite 3.3 can exchange text and pictures with other Amiga programs
- through the Amiga's system clipboard.
-
- * Macro and AREXX Enhancements
- ProWrite 3.3 adds a very large number of new macro commands, giving
- you virtually complete control over ProWriteUs operation through
- AREXX.
-
- * Kickstart 3.0 and New Amiga Graphics Chips Support
- ProWrite 3.3 includes support for new features in Kickstart 3.0, as
- well as allowing you to open up to 256 color screens on machines with
- the new Amiga graphics chips.
-
- * And Much More!
- There are many more improvements throughout the program; things like
- document password protection, an optional vertical ruler, and much
- faster PostScript picture printing.
-
- ProWrite 3.3 will be shipping in September 1992, with a new suggested
- retail price of $99.95 US.
-
- Registered owners will be sent upgrade information in the mail.
- Upgrade information is as follows:
-
- Upgrading from version 3.0 or later: $20.00
- from version 2.5 or earlier: $60.00
-
- Shipping and handling in US: $5.00
