newletters and other documents, send $20 in cash, check or money
order for user registration to ProGraf at the address above. This

Now, is that too much to ask for all that tedious drawing we did?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING DROP-CAP
1. Copy all, or a selection of the files, to x:\TYPESET directory
2. To add ornaments to your page layout in Ventura, draw a frame
about four by five picas at the location -- usually at the head
of the first paragraph -- then select "Load Text/Picture"
3. Choose "Image" and the Gem/Halo DPE window should highlight.
Click OK. When the item selector menu appears, click on the black
button to display directories. Choose TYPESET.
A list of files will be shown, all beginning with DC_ followed
by a number and a letter, or a title.
01 represents SOMETIMES (this disk), 02 SCHWARTZ, 03 CLARIDGE,
04 STADIUM are additional disks now available from ProGraf.
Scroll down to select the drop capital letter you require.
4. The letter or item will now enter the active frame. To adjust,
select "Sizing & Scaling". Click on "By Scale Factors" and
"Maintained". This will reveal the actual size of the incoming
file. Make Frame Width and Frame Height the same size as shown in
Scale Width and Scale Height. Click back to "Fit in Frame", then OK
To make smaller images, use proportional measurements.
5. Finally, select the 2X viewing, and make the fine adjustment
of the letter or ornament relative to the line of text or design.
6. You can remove all DROP-CAP files in DOS by typing
CD\TYPESET
DEL DC_*.*
Reload selected DROP-CAPS when required as in 1 above.
If you want to see what you've got, fire up VP: choose
DEFAULT.STY
Simply draw small frames all over the underlying page and call up
each file from TYPESET. Adjust to size, or reduce by scaling
factors.
Use BOXTEXT to annotate what the file name for each DROP-CAP or
Doodad represents. Print and save the sheet in your personal file
for future reference. You never know when you want some special
ornament for the job in hand.
