PrePage Templates for Adobe PageMaker

Editorial Review:

The idea is simple -- modifying a document is far easier than starting from scratch. Award winning designer and author of The Desktop Publisher's Idea Book, 2nd Edition, Chuck Green, has researched, designed, and meticulously formatted 300 extraordinary Adobe PageMaker templates. Literally hundreds of hours of meticulous work you need not repeat. PrePage templates give you:

FULL CREATIVE CONTROL. In a hurry? Use the templates as is. Want to add your own creative signature? PrePage's clean, classic layouts are the ideal foundation for your own designs. Just open a file from the PrePage CD-ROM as you would any other PageMaker document, add your information and print.

DETAILED LAYOUTS. You get all the pieces of the document puzzle. For example, an annual report template includes front and back covers, a table of contents, editorial and financial sections, and more. Page sizes, margins, and columns are set, fonts are selected and sized, and space is reserved for graphics and photographs.

FASTER, EASIER EDITING. One click of the mouse transforms any paragraph of text into as many as 20 different styles. All the formatting -- fonts, sizes, indents, alignment, spacing, and tabs -- change instantly.

Each publication includes helpful tips such as how you might use it and what weight of paper to print it on. Many include diagrams to show you how the finished pieces are folded. And most templates include a complete style palette for fast, easy formatting. The 128 page guide shows sample pages and a description for each project and is fully indexed to help you find a template fast -- by category, by name, and by number.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. Good news -- using PrePage is as easy as easy gets -- there's no program to install, you use the templates directly from the CD-ROM and save them as you would any other PageMaker file. Keep the guide on your bookshelf as an idea-starter and a convenient way to find just what you're looking for.

PrePage includes complete layouts for newsletters, brochures, reports, books, packaging and much more, fully indexed in a handy 128-page guide. Includes a dual-format CD-ROM (Windows/Macintosh) for use with PageMaker 6 and higher.

FANTASTIC!:

Thank you again to Chuck Green for pulling up those of us who tend to get bogged down in the muck and mire, up and out of the design-block trenches! There IS a drawback to this CD however.....there are SO MANY wonderful templates, that it's hard to stay focused on a job when you want to go play with every single one, just for the FUN of it!! Hats off to Chuck......... He has done it once again....... :)
