For immediate release CodeHeadQuarters Friday, May 1, 1992 ---------------------- CodeHead Technologies is proud to announce exclusive representation in the United States and Canada of: CALLIGRAPHER -- the next-generation document processor that takes you from first conception to final print! Like many of you, we've never been completely satisfied with the word processors available for Atari's line of computers. It seemed like Atari word processors always fell into one of two categories: either they were very simple, without custom fonts or graphics, or they were unwieldy, buggy monsters that were difficult to set up and use. Well, our feelings changed when we were introduced to Calligrapher Professional (and now Calligrapher Gold), developed in Great Britain by Working Title. Calligrapher is the first word processor to meet CodeHead's exacting standards for user interface excellence, advanced features, and solid, compatible, trouble-free performance. In many ways, Calligrapher bridges the gap between a desktop publishing application and a word processor. Some of Calligrapher's features include: o Runs under all versions of TOS in all resolutions except Low. o Standard GEM interface includes a complete desktop, with moveable icons for your documents, trashcan, clipboard, etc. o Powerful structured online help (one of the nicest help functions you've ever seen!) o Pop-up menus for maximum convenience o Configurable, reassignable keyboard commands o Editable dictionary and spell checker o Abbreviations (for example, type "CH" and Calligrapher can automatically expand it to "CodeHead") o Tables and formulae o Mail merge with personalizing and conditional selectivity o Automatic pagination with selectable style and linked chapters o Hyphenation with configurable rules o Insertable automatically updated date function o A powerful outliner (the first really useable outliner we've seen!) o Paragraph style tagging o Embedded codes can also be affected by search and replace operations o Headers, footers, and footnotes o Selectable graphic or text-only modes when printing o Hinted outline fonts for very high quality printed output o Import both bitmap graphics and GEM metafiles o Built-in graphics tools for drawing lines and shapes o Import .DIF files o Import 1st Word Plus documents o Infinite expandability through the use of "external modules" In addition to these features, Calligrapher contains all of the standard features expected of a powerful word processor, like search and replace, global and conditional case conversion, word count, cut, copy, paste, and cursor control. Powerful ruler features include indent, outdent, multiple columns, left align, right align, center align, left tab, right tab, center tab, decimal tab, leader tabs, line spacing, vertical lines, and justification. Preview options give you a graphic view of your document as it will look on the printed page, with single or multiple pages selected from different parts of the document for comparison. Calligrapher supports a number of printers, including 9-pin, 24- pin, NEC P6, HP Laserjet+, Laserjet II, Epson GQ3500, and Atari SLM804/605. A print-to-disk feature allows you to easily print documents in batch mode. Calligrapher Gold ------------------- Also available will be Calligrapher Gold, which includes all of the features listed above plus: o Grammar checker o Powerful thesaurus with word trail and distinction between verbs, nouns, and antonyms o Automatic indexing with cross referencing o Automatic save o Interactive formula editor o Flextext text effects for bending text around bezier curves, circles, and ellipses o PostScript output to disk, or directly to a PostScript device! o Label printer o Bar code creation Calligrapher Extras --------------------- We will be offering a catalog (64 disks) of professional quality hinted outline fonts licensed from URW, an internationally renowned type foundry. We also have supplemental Calligrapher dictionaries for seven other languages. We're very excited about Calligrapher! It helps round out our line of graphic and productivity applications: Avant Vector for auto-tracing and vector graphics editing, MegaPaint Professional for bitmap and vector graphics design, and the Cherry font collection.
