@HEAD 16 L/A = Publishing
@HEAD 24 L/A = E<M%-4>x<D%0>c<M%-2>h<D%0>a<M%-5>n<D%0>ge
@SUBHEAD 9(2) = A SHORT STORY
@BODY 9 LEFT = Stored in it's own frame, this column is designed to
hold a single short story. To differentiate itself as such, the text
file (nwslttr3.txt), uses special tags to display a different subhead
and body style.
@BODY 9 LEFT = A page packed with type is forbidding. To provide an
illusion of air, a <169>blank<170> <MI>Column Break<D> tag was placed
after the source paragraph below. (If you can't see it, use the tabs
and returns button on the ribbon to toggle them on and off.
@BODY 9 LEFT = In effect, this break tag forces the next paragraph
to the top of the next column, or in this case, the next assigned
frame <196> the Q&A column on the right.
@SUBHEAD 9(2) = SOURCE:<R>
Nancy Bargine<R>
Impressa Systems
@COLUMN BREAK =
@HEAD 12 L/A = NEWSMAKER
@HEAD 44 = <BJ185>Q<P70C3J0%-3>&<P255C255J185%0>A<DJ0>
@SUBHEAD 10 = Nancy Bargine
@SUBHEAD 8 = is the President of<R>
Impressa Systems, Inc.<R>
She is an experienced<R>
Ventura user.
@SUBHEAD 8.5 = When I open your Ventura text files in my word processor
I see a lot of strange symbols and characters. What do they mean?
@BODY TEXT 8.5 = Ventura can read special style attributes in the
text file. These include kerning codes that increase or decrease letterspacing,
and attribute overrides that can change the point size and/or style
of a word within the paragraph. Further, the International Character
Set (shown in your Ventura Quick Reference Guide) allows the use of
characters, such as <R>
the long dash and copyright <R>
symbol, not available through the keyboard.
@BODY TEXT 8.5 = Personally, I use Microsoft Word to type my Ventura
text files. But instead of saving my text files as Microsoft Word-formatted
files, I save them in ASCII format (American Standard Code For Information
Interchange). This allows me to send and receive text files through
my modem, or to exchange diskettes with other writers who use different
word processors.
@BODY TEXT 8.5 = ASCII files, in any word processor, look confusing
at first. But if you can get beyond the stray line-endings, you'll
find that it's an efficient way to move text in and out of Ventura.
@COLUMN BREAK =
@BODY TEXT 8.5 = Next column
