Why does doing interactive desktop publishing have to be hard? It should be
easy.

TextEase Studio is back! Originally written by Geoff and Danny of Softease,
the RISC OS version of this multi award winning DTP package is now available
from Elesar, distributed with kind permission of RM plc.

Three flavour combinations
--------------------------
TextEase comprises 6 main parts:

DTP
Easily combine text, line art, and graphics in a single document. With
English spell checker and read back by eSpeak.
Paint
Create master pieces on screen with a variety of brushes and special
effects.
Branch
Define tree-like relationships as a learning tool to classify objects. Is
a tomato a fruit, vegetable, or berry?
Turtle
Make short Logo programs to animate a turtle (or other tote) around the
screen.
Table
Analyse embedded spreadsheet information and quickly turn the results into
a chart to illustrate your work.
Show
Put together dazzling presentations with transitions, sound effects, and
any of the other elements of TextEase on each slide in the deck.

Tailor the version to your needs

or change your mind later, pay only the difference for the extra parts.

A small selection of clip art is also provided, or use your own selection
held in any file format that TextEase can display - Draw, Sprite, Windows
BMP, Windows MetaFile, JPEG, TCA animation, GIF.

The current (draft) 72 page user manual is also provided in electronic form
for reference, but TextEase's intuitive interface means you'll rarely need to
ask how something works.

TextEase is fully 32 bit compatible and runs on RISC OS 3.60 or later.
