Richardson, Texas (June 23, 1992) -- Micrografx, Inc., the first and
leading developer of Windows-compatible graphics applications, has
announced that it will ship an object linking and embedding (OLE) version
of its award-winning precision illustration product, Micrografx Designer,
in June.

In addition to OLE support and enhanced functionality optimized for Windows
3.1, Micrografx Designer 3.1 plus OLE will support Windows' TrueType Font
(TTF) technology, according to Micrografx president George Grayson.

"Designer's OLE support will allow users to enhance documents created in
Windows word processing products, such as Microsoft Word for Windows, Ami
Pro from Lotus, and WordPerfect for Windows, or those created in leading
desktop publishing applications," Grayson says. "Users will enjoy the
ultimate in precision illustration and the industry's best font
technologies, because Designer's OLE and TTF functionality is now combined
with over 175 fonts from Adobe, DTC, and ITC."

Micrografx Designer 3.1, the precision illustration program for Windows,
has been bundled with Adobe Type Manager (ATM), Adobe TypeAlign and more
than 175 Type 1 fonts from Adobe Systems Inc. and Digital Typeface Corp.,
plus type fonts licensed from International Typeface Corp., since November
1991. With OLE and TTF, the product's retail price remains $695.

Designer 3.1 was named MS-DOS Graphics Product of the Year for 1991 by
readers of InfoWorld, a leading weekly newspaper of the microcomputer
industry, in its February 10, 1992 issue. In addition, Designer received
both an "Editors Choice" for the third consecutive year and the highest
overall "Suitability to Task" score--garnering 19 out of a possible 20
points--in PC Magazine's October 29, 1991 illustration software review.
The January 14, 1992 PC Magazine "Best of 1991" cover story included
Designer. The product also was named in the Top 100 Windows applications
in the January 1992 issue of Windows magazine.

Registered users of Designer versions numbered up to and including 3.1 may
upgrade to Micrografx Designer 3.1 plus OLE (with ATM, Adobe TypeAlign,
and the Type 1 fonts) for $99.95, plus $10 for shipping and handling.

Registered users owning the Designer 3.1 ATM/ATA bundle may upgrade to
Designer 3.1 plus OLE for free. Those users who have proof of purchase
from April 6, 1992 or after also may upgrade for free.
