@HEADLINE 2 = Xerox Shows Off Ventura Publisher at Conference

BEVERLY HILLS (VP) <197> Xerox Corporation has introduced version 
1.1 of its first elec<->tronic publishing software product that runs 
on industry standard personal computers. Xerox chose the Seybold Confer<->ence 
to announce the price and availability of the new revision to the 
industry standard software package. Conference attendees were impressed 
by the eighty-one new features, all of which were added without compromising 
the speed of the product and its depth of functionality.

The Xerox Desktop Publishing Software Series: Ventura Publisher Edition 
is available through Xerox authorized dealers (including ComputerLand, 
Microage, and Pactel), and the Xerox Business Software Center via 
(800)-822-8221, and the Xerox general line sales force. Commented 
one observer, <169>This breadth of distribution represents Xerox's 
commitment to the main<->stream of the PC-based market.<170>

Ventura Publisher Edition allows personal computer users to merge 
text and graphics to create publishing-quality doc<->uments, such 
as newsletters, technical manuals, books, bids and proposals, that 
might otherwise be sent to a print shop or typesetter. The package 
runs on the Xerox 6065, IBM PC/XT, IBM PC/AT, and other PC compati<->bles. 
It supports popular laser printers, including the Xerox 4045, the 
Apple LaserWriter and the HP Laser Jet.

Xerox fully understands users' requirements for a desktop pub<->lishing 
software product,<170> said James N. Brown, vice president, office 
systems mar<->keting, Xerox Business Systems Group.
