PageMaker Features

.






1) Innovative Online Publishing
.

Document-wide layers	Set up a single file for multiple versions of a publication, add annotations, and experiment with layouts by placing objects on different layers. By placing text and graphics on separate layers, you can control which objects are visible and work faster by turning off the graphics layer.

Automatic layout adjustment	Automatically reposition, resize, and reflow text blocks, frames, and graphics when you change columns, orientation, or master pages.

Text and graphics frames	Quickly lay out your publication by creating frames to hold text or graphics.

Publishing options	Create a wide variety of documents up to 999 pages each.

Professional typographic controls	Set typography to professional standards with point-size- dependent tracking, kerning in 0.001-em increments, and expanded and condensed type.

Multiple master pages	Specify and apply different page designs, such as margins, column guides, and backgrounds within a single publication.

Text capabilities	Speed text processing with a built-in word processor, spelling checker, and search-and-replace feature.

Link management controls	Reliably track changes to imported text and graphics files.

Object masking	Crop text, graphics, and images easily into polygons, ovals, and rectangles.

Improved Adobe Table 3.0 software	Easily lay out text and data in rows and columns - and now include color in your tables.

Extensive printing features	Enjoy maximum flexibility with support for Adobe PostScript(R), PCL, and QuickDraw printers. Includes Print Fit view and printer styles, plus the ability to print nonconsecutive pages and reader's spreads and to designate selected objects as nonprinting.

Timesaving devices	Streamline workflow with new template designs, instantly define grids with an enhanced Grid Manager Plug-in, impose pages using the Build Booklet plug-in, and generate an automatic table of contents or index across multiple publications.

Enhanced polygon tool	Draw free-form polygons and lines, and edit points on existing polygons.

Object handling	Automatically align and distribute objects. Combine multiple elements into a unit with a single keystroke, and move or resize an element without having to separate it from the rest of the group. Easily maintain the relationships of layout elements with object locking.

Improved navigation	Quickly move between pages with new Go Back and Go Forward commands
