@BIGGER HEAD = Finally!  A text editor designed for Ventura 
Publisher!<$!9/18/90>

@BIG HEAD = Announcing VenEdit <197> designed to grant your wish for a 
readable screen combined with a powerful editor

@LEVEL 1 HEAD = Are you satisfied with how you've been forced to edit 
Ventura Publisher document files?

Probably not.  Face it, editing hasn't been easy.  You've had two 
choices <197> either Ventura itself or a general purpose word 
processor.  Do these aggravations sound familiar? 

@BULLET = Text is difficult to read and edit <197> Ventura's format 
codes clutter the screen.

@BULLET = Paragraphs, tables and lists are jumbled <197> lines break 
randomly.

@BULLET = Strange codes appear instead of quotes, spaces and dashes.      

@BULLET = There is no help with Ventura-related tasks.

@BULLET = File conversion to Ventura is sometimes incomplete or quirky.

@LEVEL 1 HEAD = Now there's help!

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = VenEdit eliminates these frustrations

VenEdit is the text editor expressly designed to edit Ventura Publisher 
document files.

@BULLET = It's the <MI>only<D> tool that meets your needs for a 
powerful editor and a readable screen.

@BULLET = It is the <MI>only<D> editor that provides help with 
Ventura-related tasks.

@BULLET = And, just as importantly, VenEdit is easy to install and use.   

@LEVEL 1 HEAD = VenEdit is the <BI>only<D> editor designed for Ventura

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Intelligent text handling and display means no more 
cluttered screens, no more eyestrain

VenEdit's smart display mode lets users see text in a form that hides 
Ventura's format codes <197> they appear as condensed, highlighted 
symbols.  Special characters such as typographical quotes, spaces and 
dashes appear as highlighted real characters.

VenEdit treats Ventura format codes as single characters for cursor 
movements and deletions.  For example, you delete a typographical quote 
with one keystroke, not five.

What does this mean to you?  It means an uncluttered screen that is 
easy to read and edit.  But, if you need to, you can see and edit text 
in its actual form.  A single keystroke switches between display modes.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = No more jumbled tables and lists!

Paragraphs automatically wrap at Ventura Publisher line breaks 
(<MI><<R>><D>) keeping tables and lists clear on the display screen.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = VenEdit helps you with Ventura-related tasks

A complete set of Ventura-specific commands and menus save time and 
energy.  Available both as menu items and as command keys, they 
automate entry of Ventura's format codes and perform multiple steps 
automatically.  You don't have to memorize command codes; you make far 
fewer trips to the Ventura Publisher manual, too.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Portable files with no surprises

VenEdit is a pure ASCII editor.  For this reason there are no surprises 
such as extra characters or lost formatting when VenEdit-modified files 
are used by Ventura Publisher.  Its files are also easily shared with 
other programs.

@LEVEL 1 HEAD = Advanced features

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Edit up to 6 files at once

If you respond, <169>So what,<170> it's probably because you've never 
had the capability before.  You can move text between files easily and 
keep your documents consistent.  Work on several things at once, 
switching when you choose and without delay.  Keep some files open just 
for easy reference.  Any VenEdit text window can zoom to fill the 
entire screen.  Switch between windows with the touch of a key or mouse 
button.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Smart spelling checker doesn't stop at Ventura fields

Aren't you tired of having your index entries and tags flagged as 
misspellings?  VenEdit's spelling checker knows that fields like 
<MI><<$ITest>><D>, <MI>@CHP HD<D> and <MI><<MBI>><D> aren't incorrect.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Command keys and menus <197> VenEdit gives you both

You have the choice of using both pulldown menus and command keys.  The 
menus stay out of sight when you don't want them.  VenEdit has full 
mouse support, but there's nothing that you can't do from the keyboard.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = You write.  We print.

You don't have to go through Ventura to print.  <->VenEdit can directly 
print text to almost any printer including PostScript, HP LaserJet, dot 
matrix and daisy wheel printers.  Margins are adjustable and you can 
add headers and footers.  You can even print text in the background 
while editing.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Standard word processing features

VenEdit offers standard word processing features for document drafts, 
memos and similar chores.  Features include:

@BULLET = Font/attribute selection

@BULLET = Headers and footers on printed page

@BULLET = Forced page breaks

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Expanded screen with EGA and VGA

If you own an EGA or VGA system you can expand  the 25 line display.  
See 43 lines with with an EGA display card or 50 lines with VGA.

@L2 HD STRETCH = Macros <197> save those long keystroke sequences

@BODY STRETCH = Macros let you store keystroke sequences to perform 
complex operations or provide functions not in standard VenEdit.  Each 
macro becomes a new VenEdit command that you can execute using command 
keys or select using a menu.  You can save collections of macros on 
disk for later use.

@BODY STRETCH = Of course we also provide a collection of useful macros 
to get you started.  For example, one converts pairs of quotes to 
typographical quotes.  Another turns a marked block of text into an 
index entry.

@L2 HD STRETCH = Powerful find and replace commands

@BODY STRETCH = VenEdit provides powerful tools to search for text and 
replace words and phrases.  Each command's search options make major 
changes easy.  One command combines text searching and macros, allowing 
you to find a piece of text and perform a series of commands.

@LEVEL 1 HEAD = It's easy!

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = VenEdit is easy to install

@BODY STRETCH = VenEdit has no complex installation procedure.  Most 
users can just copy the files to their hard disks and run!  Set 
configurable options when and if you want to.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = VenEdit is easy to use

@BODY STRETCH = VenEdit follows common editor conventions <197> you 
don't have to learn new editing philosophies.  This, plus the menus and 
online help, minimizes learning time.  To help you start, the manual 
includes a section listing the basic VenEdit commands.

@BODY STRETCH = Easy to use doesn't mean <169>stripped down.<170>  
VenEdit provides a large assortment of powerful editing tools.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = VenEdit can <169>feel<170> like the editor you're using 
now

@BODY STRETCH = You can change all command key sequences to suit your 
tastes and habits.  VenEdit's customization program provides menus and 
an easy-to-use full-screen keystroke editor.  Commands are plainly 
grouped by type.  And when you're done, it checks for accidental 
conflicts and points them out.  The program also changes the VenEdit 
help screens to show your customized keys.  In addition, it creates a 
keystroke summary (<169>reference card<170>) file you can print out.

@BODY STRETCH = VenEdit lets you personalize default settings.  You can 
change more than 30 features including screen colors, margins, screen 
display modes, and tab size.

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = Help!

@BODY STRETCH = VenEdit's extensive, context-sensitive help system 
provides easy reference to commands and keystrokes.  It goes the extra 
mile in making VenEdit easy to use and learn.  There's also help on 
Ventura's fields and options!

@LEVEL 2 HEAD = We know you don't really want to read the manual...

@BODY STRETCH = We've tried to make VenEdit as easy as possible for you 
to use without having to refer to a manual.  But when you need one, 
VenEdit's manual is complete and logically laid out.  The manual 
provides both tutorial and reference information.  A detailed table of 
contents and index make finding what you need a snap.  

@LEVEL 1 HEAD = At a price this low, how can you pass up VenEdit?

@BODY STRETCH = VenEdit is only $195.  It doesn't take much frustration 
or wasted time to justify the cost of VenEdit.  Enhance your 
productivity; use a tool designed for the job!

within 60 days for a refund.
