- RightBrain Ships PasteUp (Page Layout) for NeXTSTEP
-
- PALO ALTO, CA, USA October 27, 1992 - Today RightBrain Software began
- shipping PasteUp, the first page layout program completely built from
- the ground up with object oriented technology and Display Postscript.
-
- PasteUp is a full-featured design and layout package providing
- sophisticated text-handling, drawing tools, and layout features.
- PasteUp supports the drag-and-drop metaphor for colors, imported
- files, graphic styles, and text styles. Display PostScript allows
- page editing at output resolution and provides on screen previews of
- color separated film. PasteUp has built-in spell checking and
- hyphenation in 9 languages, full text runaround, left and right
- master pages, page numbering, search and replace for colors as well
- as text, arbitrary rotation and skewing of all objects including
- text, grouping, locking, align and distribute, and a host of other
- features. PasteUp is intended for flexible page design and documents
- in the 1-to-100-page range, although its drawing tools,
- word-processing features, and ease of use make it appropriate for all
- short document needs.
-
- "PasteUp 1.0 has all the features you'd expect of an
- industrial-strength publishing application, but is much faster and
- easier to use," said Glenn Reid, president and founder of RightBrain
- Software. "We've also added some sophisticated features like
- automatic drop shadows for any object, a thumbnail page navigator, an
- arrowhead editor that lets you customize the shapes of arrowheads,
- and copy/paste of graphic attributes."
-
- PasteUp also has automatic "smart punctuation" that will replace
- straight quotes with typographic quotes, double hyphens with
- emdashes, insert fi and fl ligatures, and even transpose the period
- inside double quotes at the end of a quotation. Smart punctuation
- works with text import as well as during typing, which greatly
- simplifies the process of importing text from other sources without
- having to search and replace all the quotes and ligature
-
- PasteUp has a suggested retail price of $795 and is available through
- NeXT dealers, NeXT international distributors and NeXTconnection.
- Contact RightBrain Software for more information or the location of
- the PasteUp reseller nearest you.
