Extensis Announces PageTools 2.0 Upgrade

Award-winning collection supports Adobe PageMaker 6.0 and Windows 95

PORTLAND, OREGON, APRIL 15, 1996: Extensis Corporation, the leading
provider of plug-ins for graphics and page layout applications, today
announced PageTools 2.0, an upgrade of its award-winning collection of
plug-ins for Adobe PageMaker 6.0 and Windows 95.

PageTools 2.0 includes five new plug-ins in addition to enhancements of the
existing ten additions. Many of the new plug-ins were designed by Real
World PageMaker author, Olav Martin Kvern, based on his extensive
knowledge of PageMaker and the common feature requests of PageMaker users.
PageTools 2.0 is compatible with PageMaker 6.0 for Windows 95 and Win32s.
Several plug-ins take full advantage of new features in PageMaker 6.0.

PageTools is designed to address the daily needs of all PageMaker users.
The central component in PageTools is PageBars, Microsoft Word style
toolbars which can be customized with buttons for any PageMaker function,
as well as additional functions provided by PageTools. Other plug-ins
include tools for navigating, previewing files, applying character styles
to selected text, scaling multiple objects, counting words and characters,
drawing crop and/or registration marks at user-specified locations,
printing non-consecutive page ranges and automatically applying guides to
objects.

copies of PageTools 1.0 have shipped to date, making it the best-selling
PageMaker plug-in on the market. By adding five entirely new plug-ins and

'must-have' for any PageMaker user. "Extensis has once again created a
