At Seybold Seminars '92, Aldus Corporation announced that in a show of
growing support for the new Aldus Additions technology, nine third-party
developers have recently announced or shipped Additions for Aldus
PageMaker 4.2 for the Macintosh. Aldus Additions enable users and
third-party developers to tailor PageMaker 4.2 to meet specific publishing
needs.

"The response to our Additions technology has been tremendous." said David
Cloutier, third-party marketing manager. There are over 50 third-party
developers who have Additions under way, and we've sent over 250 Additions
Developer Toolkits to others who have expressed interest in working with
the technology. This is a great testimony to the popularity of
Additions."

These Additions are loadable modules and will be added to PageMaker's menu
choices once they're copied to the proper folder on a Macintosh. Some may
require additional hardware and software.

There are three kinds of Additions: user-written scripts, which use
text-based commands to automate routine tasks normally carried out with
the keyboard and mouse; loadable modules, which combine commands and
queries written in the C programming language; and standalone
applications, which can be used to make other programs such as Microsoft
Excel or Claris HyperCard interact with PageMaker using Dynamic Data
Exchange or interapplication communication.

PageMaker 4.2 itself is shipped with six loadable Additions: "Balance
columns" to evenly distribute text among columns; "Drop cap" to embed a
large character at the beginning of a paragraph; "Make booklet" for
preparing simple "two-up" signatures for proper pagination after printing
and folding; "Display pub info" to review the linked files, fonts, and
styles used in a publication; "Run script" for executing Addition scripts
users write; and "Sort pages" so users can display thumbnail images of the
pages in a publication and reorder them by dragging their images.
