@1C HEAD 2 = What You Have<$IC1 Head 2 Tag><$ITags;C1 Head 2 Tag>

@1C BODY 1 = Your <MI>Designer Series<D>  Style Sheet and Template
Set includes the style sheet, TDOC794C, and the template TDOC794C.  With
Ventura Publisher's multichapter function, you can use this style
sheet and template without modification to create publications. You
can also use the set as a master for creating entirely new style sheet
and template sets with Ventura Publisher's <169>Save as<170> functions.
<$ITemplate><$IStyle Sheet>

@1C BODY 2 = The guide you are now reading was created using your
new style sheet and template set. Also the file, TDOC794C.TXT, may
be loaded into Ventura to study the tags and special effects you see
demonstrated in this guide. <$IC1 BODY 2 Tag><$ITags ;C1 BODY 2 >

@1C HEAD 2 = What You Need

@1C BODY 1 = To use this style sheet and template set, you need a
PostScript<191> or compatible printer, Interpress<191> printer, Imagen<191>
DDL printer, or a conventional laser printer equipped with a Raster
Image Processor such as LaserMaster's X/T CAPCard. Other printers
may be used, but you may not be able to print the white letter on
black background effects used in the template. You may need to purchase
additional fonts from one of the vendors listed later in this guide
if your printer does not support a page description language such
as PostScript, Interpress, or DDL. Also, this style sheet assumes
the use of some Times (like Dutch) and Helvetica (like Swiss) fonts
not provided with Ventura's standard set. Instructions for purchasing
these additional fonts are also noted later in this guide.<$IPDL Printer><$IRaster

@1C BULLET = Publication Headings explains the heading hierarchy used
for creating publications. Instructions are also provided for using
the multiple column formats supported by the style sheet.

@1C BULLET = Paragraph Tagging demonstrates the general tags available
with the style sheet.

@1C BULLET = Working with Frames, Tables & Figures gives examples
of the table and figure tags offered with your style sheet. Instructions
are also given for changing the basic illustrations and tabs for the
chapters you will create.

@1C BULLET = Adding Fonts gives instructions for acquiring fonts for
Non-PDL (Page Description Language) printers.

@1C BULLET = The Index shows the appearance of an index generated
using the style sheet. You can also use the index to find examples
of tags placed within this guide.

@1C HEAD 2 = Note About Illustrations

@1C BODY 1 = Line art (object files) and bit-mapped art (image files)
are placed in selected locations throughout this guide. These are
provided to demonstrate the concept and techniques used by the author
while adding illustrations to publications.  Pay important attention
to the white space surrounding illustrations. Select each frame and
access the Frame Menu options (Sizing & Scaling, margins, and repeating
frames) to study the margins, scaling, and padding applied to tables
and figures.

Head 1 >

@4C HEAD 2 = What is a Template?<$IC4 Head 2 Tag><$ITags;C4 Head 2><$ITemplate><$IStyle
Sheet>

@4C BODY TEXT = A template is simply a reusable chapter containing
all the basic objects, page formatting parameters and other information
you wish to place in a publication. Repeating frames, standard frames,
header & footer margins and other parameters not included in the style
sheet are contained in the template. Templates essentially allow you
to <MI>clone<D> or make seemingly identical chapters without having
to duplicate page elements not considered by a style sheet.<$IBody
Text Tag><$ITags;Body Text>

In use, the template is loaded into Ventura and the <169>Save As<170>
function is used to save a copy of the template under another filename.
For instance, when creating the chapters for a technical manual or
book, you may want to repeat this save operation several times to
create separate templates for all the chapters in the book being created.
As an example, you could load the TDOC794C template and use <169>Save
As<170> to create 6 new chapters called CHAP1, CHAP2, CHAP3, CHAP4,
APPENDA, and APPENDB.

When first created, these chapters contain all the basic attributes
and elements assigned to the original template, but do not contain
the text and art associated with the contents of the new chapter.
Text files and images files are then loaded to give the chapter and
the counters are reset (chapter, figure, table and page counters)
to give the chapter a specific identity

@4C HEAD 2 = Finding Information About Tags

All the tags contained in the style sheet are listed in the index.
To see the effect produced by a tag, lookup the tag's name in the
index and check the corresponding page.

The guide you are now reading may be loaded by selecting TDOC794C.TXT
provided on the distribution diskette. You can save your current chapter
and load the tutorial at any time to study the attributes assigned
to any tag. You can also copy frames, illustrations and line art into
one of Ventura's buffers and paste these into your own chapters.

@4C HEAD 2 = Printer Notes

This style sheet was formatted and proofed using a Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet Series II printer equipped with a LaserMaster XT/CAPcard.
However, tests were also performed using a PostScript printer to make
sure that all template frames and graphics are in proper alignment.

@4C HEAD 2 = Frame Placement

The placement of frames and ruled tag elements may change for some
printers. For instance, the rectangular box and shaded block used
for the Chapter Heading may appear out of alignment when some printer
drivers and width tables are reassigned. A similar problem could occurs
if fonts of the incorrect size are used. <MI>

Some minor adjustments to spacing above and below rules may be required
to compensate for changes in output devices. This is especially so
when changing from PostScript to the HP LaserJet Series of printers.


When making adjustments to tags, first select one of the paragraphs
assigned the misaligned tag, then use the <169>Add New Tag<170> function
to make a copy using another name. Then make adjustments to correct
the problem. If you have problems or wish to view the condition of
the original tag, load the original printer driver and width table
and reassign the tag to refresh your memory. Use the <169>Remove Tag<170>
function to delete the original tag, then the <169>Rename Tag<170>
function to replace the original tag with the new one when the desired
effect is achieved.

@4C HEAD 2 = Font Sizes

PostScript, Interpress, and DDL printers provide scalable fonts which
may be set to any point size between 1<196>254 points. Users having
printers with bit-mapped fonts need to purchase fonts is the correct
point sizes to match those assigned for the PDL language device. Instructions
for doing so are in <169>Adding Fonts<170> later in this guide.



@1C HEAD 1 = Publication Headings

@1C BODY 1 = This section explains the hierarchy used throughout the
style sheet and gives tips and tricks for managing text.

@1C HEAD 2 = Heading Hierarchy

@1C BODY 1 = Three levels of headings are provided for this style
sheet. These consist of the initial Chapter heading tags, <169>Chapter
#<170> and <169>Chap Title<170> and two sets of headings for the 1-column
and 4-column formats. You can elect to use the 1-column, or 4-column
format, or a combination of both. <$IHeadings><$IHeadings;Hierarchy><$IChapter
# Tag><$ITags;Chapter #>

@1C NOTE = Note:  Some tag names are preceded with the codes <169>1C<170>
and <169>4C<170> to help distinguish the 1-column and 4-column tags
from one another.  <$IC4 Note Tag><$ITags;C4 Note>

@1C HEAD 2 = Chapter Headings

@1C BODY 1 = The section heading shown earlier in this tutorial consists
of two separate tags<197><169>Chap Title<170> and <169>Chapter #<170>.
The <169>Chap Title<170> and <169>Chapter #<170> are entered in series
at the head of the chapter file. If tags are entered in text files
to preformat publications prior to loading into Ventura, enter the
tags in this sequence:<$IChap Title Tag><$ITags;Chap Title>

@1C PROMPT = @@Chapter # = 1<R>
@Chap Title = PREVIEW<$ITags;C4 Prompt><$IC4 Prompt Tag>

@1C HEAD 2 = 1C Head 1 Tag

@1C BODY 1 = The <169>1C Head 1<170> tag automatically forces a page
break to prepare for the transition to single column format. The first
paragraph of body text following this tag must be assigned the <169>1C
Body 1<170> tag. All paragraphs of body text following the first paragraph
are formatted using the <169>1C Body 2<170> tag. Continue to assign
the 1C Body 2 tag until the next 1C Head 1 or 1C Head 2 tag is assigned.<$I1C
Head 1 Tag><$ITags;1C Head 1><$ITags;1C Head 2><$I1C Head 2 Tag>

@1C BODY 2 = When the 1C Head 1 tag is assigned, the new page appears
on the next available right or left page. The <169>Blank Page<170>
tag may be placed before the <169>1C Head 1<170> tag to leave blank
pages. For instance, the author may want to leave a note such as <169>This
page intentionally left blank<170> or <169>Notes<170> on an even page
to start the next section on a right hand page. <$IBlank Page Tag><$ITags;Blank
Page>

@1C NOTE = Note:  Alternately, if no note is required, users may set
the Page Break attribute for the <169>1C Head 1<170> tag to <169>Before/Until
Right<170> for force the new section to always begin on the next available
right page.

@4C HEAD 2 = 1C Head 2  Tag<$I1C Head 2 Tag>

@4C BODY TEXT = The 1C Head 2 tag immediately follows the 1C Head
1 tag in the heading hierarchy. The same conventions applicable to
the 1C Head 1 tag for assigning body text tags also apply. <$ITags;1C
Head 2>

@4C HEAD 2 = 4C Head 1 & 4C Head 2 Tags

@4C BODY TEXT = Like the 1C Head 1 tag, the 4C Head 1 tag also forces
a page break. The same technique used to insert blank pages may also
be used to control the next available page. The 4C Head 1 tag also
forces a column break to place the first line of Body Text in the
next available column. Unlike the 1C heads, separate body text tags
for first and remaining body text paragraphs are not required. You
may use the Body Text or the 4C Body Text tags to assign body text
attributes. These are the default body text attributes for the style
sheet.<$I4C Head 1 Tag><$I4C Head 2 Tag><$I4C Body Text Tag>

@4C HEAD 2 = Cut Marks <$ICut Marks>

Cut marks are placed on the first page of each template to mark the
bounding area of each page. They appear on all pages since they are
placed directly on top of the underlying page. Your printer can use
these marks to cut the paper to the correct size after printing.

@4C HEAD 2 = Tabs & Page Bleeds<$ITabs><$IBleeds>

Six frames are placed on the outer edge of the first and second page.
These are provided for adding tabs to chapters. The first frame at
the top of the six frame array is assigned as a repeating frame in
the template. This is the case for the first and second pages of the
template. <$IRepeating Frames>

Since Ventura Publisher currently cannot print portrait and landscape
fonts on the same page, simultaneously, image files are loaded into
the repeating frame to show the tab text in the correct format.  <$IRepeating
Frame;Logos><$IRepeating Frames;Tabs>

The applicable frame on the first two odd/even page frames should
be turned into repeating frames after loading image files especially
created to show the chapter titles. These image files can be created
using any <169>paint<170> program allowing inverting and image rotation.

@4C NOTE = <B>Note:<D>  Ventura Publisher supports 6 repeating frames.
The style sheet provides a repeating frame (active) for placing a
company logo on odd pages. (See the lower left corner of any right
page). Repeating frames which are not required for a specific chapter
should be turned off when not required.  <$IRepeating Frames;Maximum
Number of>

The chapter contains two image files containing mirror images of the
same information. These files, LEFTTAB and RIGHTTAB, demonstrate the
technique used to create images for the left and right page tab frames.
You can see the names of the two files listed by placing Ventura in
Frame mode. The image files contain the names for five chapters and
the name of each chapter is exposed within the frame using the Alt
key Click trick for cropping image files. <$ITabs;Mirror Images>

You can create image files of your own for publications and load them
into the frames provided using this technique. For maximum clarity,
the letters in the image file should be 2 1/2 to 3 times final size
Ventura's Sizing and Scaling options are then used to scale the image
of each chapter name to fit the frame.<$ITabs;Scaling Images>

@4C HEAD 2 = Table of Contents Generated Tags<$ITable of Contents><$IZ
TOC n Tags><$ITags;Z TOC n>

@4C BODY TEXT = The Table of Contents tags (Z TOC n) automatically
generated by Ventura Publisher have been configured to show this heading
hierarchy. Later, when the MultiChapter function is used, the Table
of Contents is automatically formatted when the generated file is
loaded into the template.

@4C NOTE = Note:  Generated tags for footnotes, index entries, table
of contents levels, figures, and table are preformatted. <$IGenerated
Tags>

@4C HEAD 2 = Indices

@4C BODY TEXT = The four column format should be used for the indices
when loaded into the template. All generated tags currently have 4C
formatting attributes. .<BI>





@1C HEAD 1 = Paragraph Tagging

@1C BODY 1 = For most applications, two sets of tags are provided
for the single column and four-column formats.

@1C BODY 2 = By design, the single and four-column formats should
not be used on the same page. The 1C Head 1 and 4C Head 1 tags are
formatted to force a page break whenever a new column format is to
be used. In cases where a heading does not precede the first single
or four column paragraph, use the @Goto New Column or @Goto New Page
tags provided. <$IGOTO New Col Tag><$IGOTO New Page Tag><$ITags;GOTO

@1C HEAD 2 = @@Body Text Tag

@1C BODY 1 = The Body Text tag is the standard default tag for paragraphs.
When no tag is assigned to a paragraph, the body text tag is assumed.
For this style sheet, the Body Text tag is formatted for the 4 column
layout used in this template. <$IBody Text Tag><$ITags ;Body Text>

@1C BODY 1 = The @1C Bullet tag is used for non-itemized listings.
The @1C Step # and @1C Step Copy, or the @4C Step # and @4C Step Copy
tags should be used for itemized listings such as the steps to a procedure.

@1C BULLET = The @1C Bullet tag is used for non-itemized list such
as features, options, etc. It is based on the @1C Body 2 tag and is
formatted using 10 point Times or Dutch roman type with 12 point leading.
The bullet character itself is 10 point Symbol font (ASCII 151). <$I1C

@1C HEAD 2 = @@1 C Centered

@1C BODY 1 = The <169>@1C Centered<170> tag is identical to the @1C
Body 2 tag, but the paragraph alignment is set to Center. This tag
is used for a variety of purposes, and especially for applications
where the contents of the text in a frame needs to be centered. The
Set Font button should be used to directly format text if font and
type style requirements other than those of body text are required.
For example, the name and address of a company may be be included
in a chapter a shown below:<$I1C Centered Tag><$ITag;1C Centered><$ISet

@1C CENTER = Red Valley Supply<R>
1215 Abcott Drive<R>
Oakberry, LA 09999

@1C BODY 2 = You can also assign the @1C Centered tag to box text
while building tables and annotating illustrations.

@1C HEAD 2 = @@BlankPage Tag

@1C BODY 1 = The @Blank Page tag forces a new page. Use this tag whenever
you want a new chapter or section head to begin of the next succeeding
page. For example, many organizations always start new chapters on
a right page and place a blank page at the end of the preceding chapter
or section. The words and terms <169>Notes<170> or <169>This page
intentionally left blank<170> are often used to give the illusion
that the page was intentionally left blank for a reason.<$IBlank Page

@4C BODY TEXT = When used effectively, you may alternate between the
use of the single and four column formats to add variety and minimize

small illustrations need to be displayed on the same page. It is also
well suited for staggered column endings with column breaks forced

@4C HEAD 2 = Repeating Frames

Several repeating frames are used in the template. The small repeating
frame in the lower left corner of right pages is reserved for placing
company logos in the publication. The frames on the out edge of the
first and second page are reserved for adding tabs.<$IRepeating Frames;Working

@4C HEAD 2 = Adding Logos

A repeating frame is provided for adding bit-mapped or object oriented
art files containing your company logo. This frame located in the
lower left side of each right page. You may optionally set the Repeating
Frame function on the Frame menu to appear on odd or even or both
pages.<$ILogos;Adding><$ILogos;Repeating Frame>

Since the repeating frame is contained within the footer frame, you
need to hold down <F131M>[Ctrl]<F255D> while clicking your mouse to

containing the tab image files.

Cases may arise where you wish to turn off a particular repeating

@4C HEAD 2 = Building Tables

Two forms of tags are provided for building tables. Conventional-tagged<$FBy
conventional tabs, we mean the distances and formatting attributes
assigned to tabs using the paragraph menus tab option.> tables consist
of single paragraph tags containing multiple tabs. Vertical-tabbed
tables consists of sets of tags designed to arrange paragraphs of
tabular material neatly across the page. Unlike the conventional type,
vertical tabs allow multiple streams of text to reside on the same
starting line regardless of the length of the various paragraphs.
<$ITables><$ITables;Building><$ITables;Tab type><$ITables;Vertical

All are essentially generic tags and they may be modified as required
for specific applications.<$IVertical Tabs><$ITabs>

@4C HEAD 2 = Vertical Tabs

The Part List on page 14 is an example of a 4 column table formed
using vertical tags. The headings, subheadings and columns of tabular
information are separate, tagged paragraphs formatted with discrete
left and right spacing parameters. The three column trouble shooting
table on page 15 is another example of a vertical tabbed table.

@4C HEAD 2 = Conventional Ventura Tabs

This page contains various tables and tabular material formatted using

@1C BODY 1 = When the Anchors & Captions option is selected from the
Frame menu, a dialog box appears allowing you to create a caption
for the frame currently selected. You can set the caption for a frame
to appear above, below, left or right.

@1C HEAD 1 = Adding Fonts

@1C BODY 1 = This section contains useful information about fonts.
It is intended for those who wish to use this style sheet with printers
which do not support a page description language (PDL) such as Adobe
System's PostScript, Imagen DDL, or Xerox Interpress.

@1C HEAD 2 = Style Sheet Font Requirements

@1C BODY 1 = To increase readability, serifed fonts are intentionally
used for body text, first paragraphs, most headings  and bullets.
Alternately, sans serifed fonts are used for all headings, footers,
optional headers, captions, credos and other tags.

@1C BODY 2 = PDL devices generally use scalable fonts and are generally
not a problem while assigning tags for this style sheet. However,
conventional laser printers such as the HP LaserJet, Canon A2, and
Ricoh 4080/4081 series printers are generally limited to printing
fonts as no larger than 30 point. These laser printers must be enhanced
using a raster image processor (RIP) such as Tall Tree's JLaser, LaserMaster's
X/T CAPCard, Conographics 2800 or any other RIP available on the market.
Users need to exercise caution when purchasing RIPs since the maximum
font capacity and speed of these devices is not the same. For instance,
the JLaser card is currently limited to processing fonts of 36 points
or less in size and the LaserMaster X/T CAPCard can process fonts
up to 160 point in size.

@1C BODY 2 = The basic font set included with Ventura Publisher provides
fonts ranging from 6<196>24 point. However all point sizes for the
type styles are not included for every font family. This font set
should be supplemented by purchasing the specific fonts used in this
style sheet or purchasing a font compiler capable of generating the
fonts required.

@1C HEAD 1 = Font Purchase Decisions<$IFonts;Purchase Decisions>

@1C BODY 1 = To use this style sheet as intended by the author, these
fonts need to be added to the font set provided with Ventura:

@1C BULLET = 8 pt Helvetica, italic face

@1C BULLET = 14 pt Times Roman, normal face

@1C BULLET = 36 pt Helvetica, normal face

@1C BODY 2 = These optional fonts may also be useful:

@1C BULLET = 10 pt Keycap<$IFonts;Keycaps>

@1C BULLET = Assorted Dingbats<$IFonts;Dingbats>

@1C BODY 2 = Until recently most bit-mapped fonts were purchased from
font developers who sell font sets or families. These font developers
offers typefaces on an individual font basis, as groups of fonts of
a selected style and point range or as families containing all the
standard typeface styles (italic, bold, etc.)

@1C BODY 2 = With the announcement of Fontware<191> by Bitstream,
users can now purchase outline fonts of selected type families and
generate virtually any size fonts for their laser printers. A software
program called a font compiler uses a root file called a font outline
as a source for generating new fonts.

@1C BODY 2 = Also, matching screen fonts may also be optionally generated
to achieve genuine WYSIWYG viewing. By design, Fontware may be used
