Bøger af Roger Amos

Ovation DTP is a highly capable piece of software. It does what it says on the tin: it's an application for desktop publishing. This book by Roger Amos takes the reader through the key features of the program, and shows how they can be used to achieve the best possible results; with occasional help from applications such as Typestudio and !Draw. The majority of the software detailed within this book will be available to download from www.apdl.org.uk, free of charge.

Every RISC OS user received copies of !Draw and !Edit; irrespective of whether they were using RISC OS 2 or the latest RISC OS 5/6. This book shows how these applications in their most basic form can be used to produce high-quality documents without the need for an expensive desktop publishing package. Detailed descriptions of the various commands and of !Draw operations are included. Step-by-step instructions are given for such effects as drop shadows and pie charts. Of special interest will be a section on multiple page documents and a chapter on troubleshooting. Roger Amos is a retired technical journalist and public relations consultant who has used Acorn computers since the appearance of the BBC Model B. He has a long-standing professional interest in typography and contributed towards the development of fonts for Beebug; and was involved in the development of the original Ovation DTP. He has also written several books on the application of electronics and computers to railway modelling.
