Publishing the TOGGLE Newsletter

by Robert Thomson

Newsletter
The "TOGGLE" is a twelve page newsletter published monthly for the members of the Tacoma Open Group For Microcomputers. Your editor is using what would be considered today as a rather ancient publishing program for composing the publication, PageMaker 4. It was originally released in 1985, but continues to run today on Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems, a great example of good software. Even though there are more recent versions available, this older version still accomplishes the job.

Executing PM4, it starts up showing its logo:

To lay out the publication, the 12-page template is opened:

A text block is created which sets the width of the column of the text. Then text can be pasted in from the Windows clipboard. Graphics can also be inserted. PM4 has an excellent ability to resize the graphics to fit the page.
