DECpage, Version 3.1					SPD 26.29.09

DESCRIPTION

DECpage is a style controlled batch formatter offered as a VMS layered 
product.  DECpage is available as an option to WPS-PLUS/VMS and ALL-IN-1.

Using WPS-PLUS documents for input, DECpage produces high-quality text, or 
high-quality integrated text and graphics output to Digital Equipment 
Corporation's laser printers.

DECpage uses normal, italic, and bold fonts in a variety of proportionally 
spaced typefaces in several character sizes.  DECpage produces most types 
of standard office documents, including: 

oo   Memos
oo   Reports
oo   Business letters
oo   Directories
oo   Announcements
oo   Newsletters
oo   Overhead Transparencies

DECpage formats an entire document, with or without graphics, by performing 
automatic typeface selection, line justification, and pagination based on 
the user's selection of any of the 41 professionally designed print styles, 
or styles created by the user.

Features

oo   WPS-PLUS Integration - DECpage is an option to WPS-PLUS/VMS and 
    ALL-IN-1. DECpage appears on the WPS-PLUS Document Processing Menu and 
    document selections can be made directly from the DECpage menu.

oo   Graphics Support  -  Users can incorporate  PostScript (R), Sixel, 
    ReGIS, or GKS files into their output document by specifying a size (small, 
    large, and landscape), a caption if desired, and the name of the 
    graphic file to be included in the final output.  DECpage locates the 
    graphic file and positions it in place or, if necessary, floats it to 
    the top or bottom of the current, facing or following page.

    DECpage supports PostScript graphics created using the Adobe 
    Illustration (TM) package, ReGIS and Sixel graphics by mean of  
    translation software, and GKS graphics.  Note: DECpage only supports 
    GKS on PostScript printers (ScriptPrinter, PrintServer 20, PrintServer 
    40, PrintServer 40 Plus).

    Sixel files must conform to the Sixel graphics extension of the Video 
    Systems Reference Manual (DEC-Standard 070).  An LN03 or LN03 PLUS 
    laser printer is required for Sixel graphics support.

    Although an LN03 can handle simple business graphics, it is recommended 
    that an LN03 PLUS be used for maximum results.

oo   Clip Art - Users can insert directly into their DECpage document any 
    one of ninety-nine PostScript graphic files.  These PostScript files 
    were created by Studio Advertising Art and are known as Studio's Click 
    and Clip library.  This artwork contains a wide variety of art ranging 
    from baseball caps to portraits of George Washington.

oo   Logo Support - 26 PostScript logos can be accessed using the expanded 
    dead key sequences.  These logos allow the user to create a boarder 
    effect for both landscape and portrait output.  Users can also include 
    watermark text to appear on each of the printed pages, for example, 
    CONFIDENTIAL, TOP SECRET, PRIORITY, and DRAFT.

oo   User Designed Styles - Provides the user with the ability to copy any 
    of the provided 41 DECpage styles and then modify the following 
    document attributes:

    -	 Page width and depth
    -	 Placement of top and left margins

    -	 Block width and depth
    -	 Minimum and maximum block depths
    -	 Trim margins
    -	 Logo width and depth
    -	 Typefaces

    -	 PrintServer 20 bin and tray selection

    Once the desired modifications have been made, users can test and build 
    their own style.

oo   DECstandard 169 Support - Complete support for DECstandard coded 
    graphic character sets for hardware and software.

oo   International Scope

    -	 Paper Sizes - DECpage is designed to format and print documents on 
         either ISO paper sizes (A4/A5) or American paper sizes 
         (7x9/8.5x11).  At installation time, the option is offered to load 
         the corresponding style files on the system.

    -	 Multi-national Character Set - In addition to the ASCII, 
         Technical, and  Line Drawing character sets, DECpage supports the 
         Multi-national Character Set (MCS), providing the characters 
         needed by various European languages (accented vowels, combination 
         characters, and so forth).

    -	 Multiple Language Hyphenation - Provides separate hyphenation 
         procedures for American-English, British-English, Danish, Dutch, 
         Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish 
         and Swedish. Through the use of WPS-PLUS print control blocks, it 
         is possible to change the hyphenation procedures within a 
         document.  This enables the printing of documents containing 
         multiple languages. 

    -	 Multiple Language Environment - Subject to availability of 
         secondary language variants, DECpage can be installed in a 
         multiple language environment (WPS-PLUS/VMS or ALL-IN-1) and can 
         support multiple language operations on a single system.

oo   1/2 Line Spacing - Supports half-line spacing in literal or landscape 
    mode using the standard WPS-PLUS user interface.

oo   Table of Contents, Figures, Tables, Illustrations, Examples - 
    Automatically creates a table of contents within a specified report 
    style, as well as an automatic list of figures, tables, illustrations, 
    and examples.

oo   Table of Authorities (Citations) - Provides the ability to compile an 
    automatic table of authorities (citations) within a specified report 
    style.

oo   Indexing - Provides automatic indexing within a specified report style 
    using index markup and specifying an automatic index section.

oo   Master Document - Provides the ability to create a master document that 
    combines a list of documents, in the order in which they are to          
    appear, into a single output document.

oo   Appendix - Provides support of an automatically page numbered appendix 
    section within a report style.

oo   Section Number - Provides the ability to set the section (or chapter) 
    number for the page numbering in a document.

oo   Document Preview - Provides the option of ``previewing'' the document 
    on a VT1XX, VT2XX or VT3XX terminal screen.  Prior to printing the 
    document, users will be able to see heading positions, line endings, 
    white space indicating graphic positions, and page breaks.  Previewing 
    is available for the following output devices:  LN03, LN03 PLUS, 
    ScriptPrinter, PrintServer 20, PrintServer 40 and PrintServer 40 Plus. 
    DECpage saves the preview file, which can then be printed directly to 
    an output device.

oo   Wrapping Columns - Provides the ability to output wrapped justified 
    text within the columns of a table.


oo   Table Column Headings and Continuation - Provides support for 
    continuing table column headings when a table breaks over a page 
    boundary.

oo   Print Style Library - The print style determines the appearance of the 
    final document.  Designed by graphic artists, the print styles combine 
    font selection with professional document design.

    DECpage allows a single WPS-PLUS document to be printed in a variety of 
    styles. A report, for example, can be printed in either block style or 
    two-column style with no revision to the input document.

oo   PrintServer 20 Duplex Support - DECpage supports the duplex printing 
    feature of the PrintServer 20.  Once customized by means of the Device 
    to Queue menu option, users will have the capability of selecting any 
    of the two sided styles which are shipped as part of the product to 
    produce two sided output.

oo   Attached Printer Support - Users can format their documents and print 
    them directly on LN03, LN03 PLUS and LN03R printers which are directly 
    connected to their terminal printer ports.

oo   Font Packages

    Font packages are required when printing to an LN03 and/or LN03 PLUS. 
    The LN03 Basic or Complete Office Font Packages are specially-designed 
    font packages for use with DECpage and are available from Digital. Each 
    package is designed to coordinate with the DECpage print styles, 
    therefore, other fonts are not compatible with DECpage.

    A font package is not required when printing to either the 
    ScriptPrinter, PrintServer 20, PrintServer 40, or PrintServer 40 Plus.


oo   Keying Conventions

    -	 Documents printed with DECpage must be keyed according to the 
         DECpage keying conventions.

    -	 Users familiar with Digital word processing will easily adapt to 
         the required DECpage keying conventions.  DECpage uses returns, 
         rulers, tabs, underlining, and bolding to identify document 
         elements such as headings (up to four levels), paragraphs, lists, 
         notes, and so forth.

    -	 Users can also utilize the WPS-PLUS markup for paragraph 
         numbering, headings, indexing, and table of authorities.  DECpage 
         does not support tailorable markup characters.  The markup 
         characters supported are the left and right brackets.

    -	 Users can specify alphabetic, numeric, or special character 
         superscripts and subscripts anywhere in a document.

oo   The Formatting Facility

    The Formatting Facility performs the following functions:

    -	 Vertical and horizontal text justification.  DECpage determines 
         how much text to place on each line and how to position the total 
         number of lines on the page.

    -	 Hyphenation - DECpage uses logical hyphenation rules and supports 
         the  WPS-PLUS invisible hyphen in making hyphenation decisions.  
         DECpage also uses exception word lists provided by Houghton 
         Mifflin Company for the American, British-English and German 
         languages.

    -	 Pagination - DECpage tries to prevent separation of a heading from 
         associated text as well as single line breaks at the end and 
         beginning of a page (widows and orphans).

Components

oo   User Interface - Provides a set of menus, forms and procedures to 
    manage the formatting and printing functions.

oo   Translator - Translates the word processing formatting information 
    (rulers, tabs, returns) into an internal file used by the formatting 
    facility containing document element identifiers (DEI) for each text 
    element in the document.

oo   The Formatting Facility - Performs automatic hyphenation, horizontal 
    and vertical text justification, pagination and font loading 
    instructions.

oo   Print Style Library - Contains the individual print styles used by the 
    formatting facility.

oo   The Print Facility - Prints the formatted output file to the LN03, 
    LN03 PLUS, ScriptPrinter, PrintServer 20, PrintServer 40, and 
    PrintServer 40 Plus laser printers.

oo   User Designed Styles Facility - Allows for modifying and/or copying of 
    the 41 provided styles.  These copies are then modifiable by the user, 
    creating customized styles.
