@HEADLINE 2 = Version 1.1 Redefines Desktop Publishing<197>Again

MORGAN HILL (VP) <197> Xerox Ventura Publisher Edition version 1.1 
has added new meaning to the term <169>Desktop Publishing.<170> Before 
the introduction of Ventura Pub<->lisher Edition, desktop publishing 
referred primarily to advanced drawing packages that were extended 
to handle different text fonts.

These types of packages were character<->ized by a hand-intensive 
approach that attempted to mimic what graphic artists and typesetters 
were used to doing using the personal computer screen as an electronic 
paste-up board. While this approach was easy for artists to pick up, 
it did not result in much time-saving because the user was still faced 
with the drudgery of hand-adjusting each piece of text on the page.

Fortunately, the software developers at Ventura Software Inc. recognized 
this and adopted a <B>style sheet<D> approach. In the same way that 
a spreadsheet defines the rules for a complex set of repetitive calculations, 
a Style Sheet defines the rules for complex layout. Once these rules 
are defined, non-typesetters can quickly achieve typesetter-quality 
results simply by applying or tagging each paragraph as a Headline, 
Sub-Head, etc. Style sheets let even non-typesetters achieve typeset 
results, and let professionals get the kind of results which they 
expect from high-priced professional typesetting systems.
