Born-again publications

Article Abstract:

A number of print magazines are converting their pages into HTML for publication on the World Wide Web. There are many products available to convert a page layout file to HTML. HTML code defines text formatting, alignment and size of images, and establishes hypertext links to other Web sites. Although HTML tags can be entered manually in any word processor, HTML editors provide ready-made tags and some will do tagging automatically. HTML does have some design limitations, and basic formatting features are interpreted differently by various Web browsers. Electronic exchange conversion technology, such as Adobe Acrobat, give the publisher more control over the end result. These tools bypass HTML and merely place a picture of a document on the Web. Although accuracy is enhanced with this approach, these documents are less interactive and require a greater download time.

Book smart in XPress and PageMaker

Article Abstract:

Users that require chapter- or section-based documents when designing and constructing books, should consider Adobe Systems' PageMaker and QuarkXPress 4.0. The Book command streamlines the production and management of publications as well as producing long documents. In XPress, a book file is actually a floating palette that is labeled a book palette. Once documents have been added, the palette controls numbering the pages. Adobe's Book command in PageMaker is a straight forward function that collects and prints a series of publications. As specified, PageMaker can automatically number and print pages from file to file. Illustrated steps are included to guide users in using QuarkXPress's Book command.
