#VP newsletter
2 messages in this thread
Hi Guys, (and Ladies). I'm new here and thought I'd say hello.
I just got stuck with doing a newsletter for the next 4 months while a
friend in the same club is going to have an operation and then some
recooperation time. I'm the only option available that is familiar with
computers and back in the dark ages of clipping and waxing (or glueing)
typed up stuff (about 1978) I was a newsletter editor for 2 years for a
different organization.
I'm going to be using his Ventura Publisher while he's recovering. I just
gave it a test drive last night and see that it may be as tough to learn as
was modem comunications, which I got into about 5 years ago. (I'm really
not looking forward to this.) The sick fellow is in a different state and
that makes things tough too.
Well, that's about it. You'll probably start getting questions from me in
the near future.
There's a bunch of us who'll be happy to help you any way we can, either
here or in the Xerox forum (which directly supports Ventura Publisher
users). My bet is that you'll enjoy using Ventura within a reasonably
short time, i.e. as soon as the initial disorientation and terror wear off.
I assume you've used computers before for word processing. Graphics too?
The only basic concept that would be unfamiliar to you in Ventura as
compared with a word processor is the concept of the "frame." If you know
what that is and how to use it, you'll be fine. If not, ask back. Also,
are you familiar with "style sheets?" (Some word processors have them,
others do not.)
