MacPublisher was created with continuing publications of all kinds in mind — newsletters, small newspapers, magazines — any desktop publication that comes out on a schedule.
One of MacPublisher's most powerful options for periodicals is Replace, which allows new material to be substituted for any laid-out text or graphics automatically. A newsletter can be designed to include columns or 'feature sections' of specific length and style in every issue, and layout need only be done once. Once the new text has been typed or telecommunicated into MacPublisher, it can occupy exactly the same space as last month's article, automatically taking on all its font, style, size, leading, pitch, kerning, justification, column width, and placement in the issue — even down to the automatic 'Continued on page' line.
MacPublisher's range of page sizes frees you from the standard 8+1/2" x 11" layout. Your publication may now rival The New York Times both in page size and issue length if you are ambitious. MacPubisher is uniquely suited to 'managing editors' with its built-in Newswire™ desk accessory, allowing text and graphics to be telecommunicated to a central designer from all different sources. The automatic Table of Contents saves you a last-minute headache when all the material has finally been put together. And small organizations who haven't the need for large print runs may even consider printing in color on the ImageWriter II and using a color Xerox for reproduction.
