Publish It for Windows
Article Abstract:
Timeworks' $149 Publish It for Windows desktop publishing software is a competent version of Timeworks' DOS program. It incorporates all of the same program features except Template Manager and adds Adobe Type Manager and 25 fonts. Its most unusual feature is Power text, which allows users to rotate text, print it in a circle, skew it or give it a variety of textures. Publish It takes a frame-oriented approach. It corrects word and letter spacing during typing. It can print Power Text and certain graphics in color but not body text or bit-map graphics as the provided sample implies.
