The <B>Function Selector<D> changes between the four major functions 
of Ventura Publisher.  The<B> Frame Setting<D> function lets you draw 
frames (boxes) on the screen which hold either computer drawings, 
scanned images, or text.  The <B>Paragraph Tagging<D> function lets 
you quickly and simply change the typographic attributes of an entire 
paragraph.  The <B>Text Editing<D> function is a built-in wordprocessor.  The 
<B>Graphic Drawing<D> function is a built-in drawing package.

@SUB HEAD 1 = Text Editing<197>Introduction

Ventura Publisher has a built-in wordprocessor.  All changes made 
within Ventura Publisher are saved back to your own wordprocessor.

To use Ventura Publisher's wordprocessor, select the Text Edit function 
(the Text icon in the upper left corner of this screen).  Then move 
the mouse cursor to the point in the text where you want to make changes 
and press the mouse button.  The text cursor will appear and you can 
begin typing.

You can change the font or style of any text.  Place the mouse cursor 
at the beginning of the text whose font or style you wish to change.  Press 
<MI>and hold<D> the mouse button, and then move the mouse to the end 
of the text you wish to change.  The text should look like this:

@Z_SELECTED = Selected text 

You can then use the mouse to point to any of the styles shown in 
the Assignment List.  Press the mouse button to select a style.  Select 
the <B>Set Font<D> button to change the font of the selected text.  Go 
ahead and add text anywhere on this page.  Select <B>Normal<D> to 
return the text to its original state.

Press <B>Pg Dn.

@SUB HEAD 1 = Text Editing<197>Special Characters

Ventura Publisher can create and print many characters not available 
to wordprocessor users, including:<R>
 

@BULLET = Greek symbols:  (e.g. <F128>p, g, e, m, W<F255>)

@BULLET = Mathematical symbols:  (e.g. <F128><133>, <155>, <170><F255>)

@BULLET = Typographic symbols:  (e.g. <195>, <191>, <169>)

@BULLET = Foreign characters:  (e.g. <153>, <130>, <156>, <165>)<R>
 

Enter these characters by holding the ALT key and then typing the 
numeric equivalent of the character on the keyboard numeric keypad. 
For instance to type a copy<->right symbol (<189>) while using the 
Text Edit function, hold the ALT key, type 189, and then release the 
ALT key.  These characters are stored back into your word<->processor 
file as numeric codes (e.g. the copyright symbol would appear as <B><<189>><D>).

Select the Text Editing function (third function from the right), 
and insert a copyright symbol anywhere in this paragraph.

Press <B>Pg Dn.<D>

@SUB HEAD 1 = Text Editing<197>Continued

You can force lines to end prematurely, without creating a new paragraph.  Press 
and hold the Ctrl key and then press the <<Enter>> key. This creates 
the following effect:

This is a line<R>
 but this is another line,<R>
 and yet all four lines<R>
 are part of the same paragraph.

This is very useful for tables, headings.

You can also select text and shift it horizontally to the left.  This 
is known as kerning.  In the following headline, the <B>o<D> in Together 
and the <B>e<D> in Ken have been moved to the left (kerned).  Go to 
the next page to see how this is done.

@HEADLINE 1 = T<BK12>o<DK0>gether with K<BK8>e<DK0>n

@SUB HEAD 1 = Text Editing<197>Continued

To move a letter to the left (kern), make sure the Text Edit function 
is enabled.  Then select the letter you wish to kern, and then select 
the <B>Set Font <D>button, located above the <B>Assignment List.<D>  The 
Dialog Box that appears (shown here) has a Kern option at the bottom 
of the box.  Enter the amount of left-shift (kern) you desire.

You can change the measurement units by pointing to the measurement 
unit name and pressing the mouse button once.  This affects only this 
setting.

@SUB HEAD 1 = Tabs and Simple Tables

Simple tables can be quickly formatted using the tab key, and selecting 
a paragraph Tag which sets the tab stops.  

The paragraphs below have tab characters in them.  If you tag them 
with a paragraph tag for which tab stops have been set, the text will 
be formatted into a table.

Change to the Paragraph Tagging function and tag each paragraph below 
with the <B>Table <D>tag.  (Use the scroll bar in the Assignment List 
to get to the Table tag<B>).

You can automatically number paragraphs in your manual.  For instance,

select <B>Renumber Chapter<D> in the <B>Page Menu<D>.  If you later 
re-tag these paragraphs, select Renumber Chapter to remove the section 
number.

This paragraph will be numbered when properly tagged.  Tag this as 
Number Head 1.

This is another paragraph that will be numbered with the automatic 
section numbering.  Tag this as Number Head 2. 

Here is one more paragraph.  Tag this as Number Head 2.  Don't forget

<MI>Insight magazine<D> caught up with Ken Jones, President and COO 
of Acme Corporation, for a few minutes between meetings Thursday at 
the convention center.  He consented to answer a few questions about 
the past year, the conference, and the future for Acme.

INSIGHT:  What do you hope this year's conference will achieve?

KEN Jones:  Cohesiveness and togetherness in the Acme network.  I'd 
like franchisees to come away with an understanding of our long-term 
strategy and how we can all be strong together.  Attendance here is 
excellent, and I think this will help us re-establish the strength 
of our network, world-wide.  In the next few days, we will discuss 
our long-term plans and show how they'll lead us to further market 
dominance.

INSIGHT:  Acme has just come through a tough year.  How would you 
characterize the past nine months, since you and Jack Smith came back 
to top management posts at the company?

Marketing Desktop Publishing

The potential market for desktop publishing hardware and software 
is probably much larger than commonly believed<197>and this market 
will continue to expand as DTP becomes more familiar and penetrates 
businesses.

The most visible applications that DTP addresses are:

Newsletters

Direct mail pieces

Catalogs

Price lists

For many businesses that regularly produce print communications, DTP 
offers important advantages, replacing costly outside agencies, freelancers, 
and consultants.  Typesetting services and design can be brought in-house; 
the result is faster communication, greater involvement in communications, 
and more communication.
