[comp.newprod] Add-In Product For PC Microsoft Word & PostScript Printer Users

cramer@optilink.UUCP (Clayton Cramer) (02/05/88)

If you've used the Macintosh version of Microsoft Word, or products like
Ventura Publisher on the PC, you are aware that both programs have an
option for printing "back-to-front" on printers like the Apple LaserWriter
which stack paper on output in the wrong order.  Microsoft Word on the
PC doesn't have this option.  Until now.

The program REVERSE is now available to provide this capability for PC
users of Microsoft Word 3.x and 4.x WITH POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS.  REVERSE
is invoked as a keyboard macro from Word 4.x, or it can be run with a
little more effort from within Word 3.x.  REVERSE works with all the
print options except: manual feed, PRINT MERGE, and queued printed.
(There's an intermittent bug with Word 4.0's PRINT OPTION PAGES command --
when Microsoft fixes their bug, REVERSE will correctly print a range of
pages reversed).

REVERSE is supplied on 5.25" floppy disk, is not copy-protected, and
does not include sources.  It works with PostScript printers attached
via parallel printer ports and serial ports.  Serial ports are supported
for both DTR/CTS and XON/XOFF protocols.

REVERSE requires a 320K RAM machine (though you doubtless have this
already to run Word), and will reverse print documents as long as 1000
pages within that amount of RAM.  It also requires free disk space 
approximately twice as large as the .DOC file you are going to print.

REVERSE can be ordered from:

	Niche Marketing
	7198 Camino Colegio
	Rohnert Park, CA 94928-3154
	(707) 795-7342

The price is $35 (plus 6% sales tax in California).  Orders from outside
the USA should include an extra $5 to cover foreign air mail and customs
nonsense.  Sorry, at this time we are not able to take MasterCard or
VISA.  Our long run of luck with customers not flaking out on payment
seems to have come to end, so Niche Marketing no longer ships orders
without payment having arrived first.
