- MetaMind software is pleased to announce the beta 5 release of its newest
- product Page Composer! Lite at Boston MacWorld, August 6, 1996.
-
- Features.
- Page Composer! Lite is a Live Objects container designed to give users new
- power in constructing documents and communicating ideas. It is based on a
- page layout and information presentation model, much like contemporary
- applications of this genre, but provides users with several new innovative
- features and with the power of embedding Live Objects. This means that
- users can now customize documents to fit their own needs and personal style
- of communication in ways they have never been able to do before.
-
- Page Composer! documents can be dragged and dropped within other Page
- Composer! documents as well as within other OpenDoc compliant containers,
- such as Claris Works and WAV.
-
- Page Composer! Grand, coming in the first quarter of 1997, will support
- complex document structures, featuring multi-page sections integrated
- within one electronic document. It will also feature scripting and
- recording. With Java Applets working as Live Objects, Page Composer! Grand
- will take users beyond the two dimensional, printed page metaphor to a
- multi-dimensional, electronic metaphor more appropriate for the Networked
- World.
-
- Availability.
- Copies of Page Composer! Lite b5 will be distributed free at MacWorld and
- will be available thereafter from our Web site. Golden Master is slated for
- October 15, 1996 and will be available from selected electronic merchants
- at minimal cost. Page Composer! Grand will be available in the first
- quarter 1997. It will provide you with more power, flexibility and
- opportunity for creativity than traditional applications and for
- considerably less money.
-
- You are all welcome to show Page Composer! Lite in your booths at MacWorld.
- We will do all we can to ensure your success in demonstrating your parts
- inside a stable, capable and very flexible Live Object container!
-
- We can send you copies of Page Composer! Lite this weekend at your request
- or we can hand you a copy on disk at MacWorld. We will be in the Apple
- Pavilion next to the hands-on demo area in Hall B of the Bayside Exposition
- Center.
-
- Page Composer! Lite will be on the web site after Monday August 5, 1996.
-
- Thank you and enjoy MacWorld!
