RightBrain Ships PasteUp (Page Layout) for NeXTSTEP

PALO ALTO, CA, USA October 27, 1992 - Today RightBrain Software began
shipping PasteUp, the first page layout program completely built from
the ground up with object oriented technology and Display Postscript.

PasteUp is a full-featured design and layout package providing
sophisticated text-handling, drawing tools, and layout features.
PasteUp supports the drag-and-drop metaphor for colors, imported
files, graphic styles, and text styles. Display PostScript allows
page editing at output resolution and provides on screen previews of
color separated film. PasteUp has built-in spell checking and
hyphenation in 9 languages, full text runaround, left and right
master pages, page numbering, search and replace for colors as well
as text, arbitrary rotation and skewing of all objects including
text, grouping, locking, align and distribute, and a host of other
features. PasteUp is intended for flexible page design and documents
in the 1-to-100-page range, although its drawing tools,
word-processing features, and ease of use make it appropriate for all
short document needs.

"PasteUp 1.0 has all the features you'd expect of an
industrial-strength publishing application, but is much faster and
easier to use," said Glenn Reid, president and founder of RightBrain
Software. "We've also added some sophisticated features like
automatic drop shadows for any object, a thumbnail page navigator, an
arrowhead editor that lets you customize the shapes of arrowheads,
and copy/paste of graphic attributes."

PasteUp also has automatic "smart punctuation" that will replace
straight quotes with typographic quotes, double hyphens with
emdashes, insert fi and fl ligatures, and even transpose the period
inside double quotes at the end of a quotation. Smart punctuation
works with text import as well as during typing, which greatly
simplifies the process of importing text from other sources without
having to search and replace all the quotes and ligature

PasteUp has a suggested retail price of $795 and is available through
NeXT dealers, NeXT international distributors and NeXTconnection.
