Desktop Publishing by Design, 3rd ed.
Everyone's Guide to PageMaker 5

"One of the most useful and attractive books we've seen on desktop
publishing and design....Full of ideas and inspiration."
--The New York Times 

"This thorough, well-crafted work offers something for every PageMaker
user--a manual for all seasons. "
--Aldus Magazine

The number 1 resource on Aldus PageMaker just got better. DESKTOP
PUBLISHING BY DESIGN, 3rd ed., from Microsoft Press has been totally
updated and expanded to integrate the new and enhanced features of Aldus
PageMaker version S for the Apple Macintosh and the Microsoft Windows
operating system. For example, the new edition extends coverage to the
color prepress options available with PageMaker 5.

This fact-filled, user-friendly guide is really three books in one: A
primer on design, a sensational portfolio of printed pieces, and a
collection of hands-on projects for users at every level. A 16-page color
section covers PageMaker's expanded color prepress options, and a new
section called PageMaker Basics explains essential features and shortcuts
in one convenient place.

Beginners can use the PageMaker Basics section for orientation, and all
users, whatever their experience, will value it as a reference. The
tutorials present parallel techniques side by side-the visually-oriented
point-and-drag versus the precise mathematical calculation--so PageMaker
users can focus on the techniques best suited to particular styles of
working. Readers will get hands-on experience using:

* Master pages and layout grids
* The Control Palette for formatting text and 
  manipulating objects
* Style sheets
* Typographic controls
* Word-processing tools in the Story Editor
* Halftones and graphics
* High-quality spot and process color
* Expanded color prepress options for such tasks as 
  trapping, creating impositions and printing separations

The book demonstrates the principles and practice of electronic design are
demonstrated in a variety of ways. Beginners start with a simple
certificate and work up to creating a newsletter using sophisticated
PageMaker techniques. Experienced users discover how to take advantage of
the expanded capabilities of version 5.
