Here are Beth's words: "It's a sophisticated word processor with macros, glossaries and text-to-speech in four languages to read back to you (great for kids)." She says it has great features for selecting columns or sections, then erasing or pasting. Nesus is working on a Windows version for release next spring, but that one won't be free.

If you need more information about how the software works, visit their web site or e-mail me for Beth's e-mail address. Thanks again Beth, I don't often run across Mac deals.

What a Charming Page!

Create a smart image map from any graphic and assign live interactive regions. Each user-defined report can have "rollover" and "clicked" states that are displayed when the cursor is over that specific region. Rollover and click sounds can be defined for each region.

There is much more description, and some clubs received a letter on this offer. To obtain more information, call 1-800-484-9817, extension code 4636, or 1-805-484-9400. Visit their web site at http://www.mstay.com. The user group price is $99.95 (50% off list) + $7.50 S&H until the end of the year. Canadians should use the US exchange rate to arrive at that US price. Perhaps a better way to show the savings is to say the retail price is 100% more than the sale price. Maybe I should have left those price savings alone!

GST software resurfaces!

GST has again returned with an update. You can upgrade GST Pressworks, Compuworks Publisher, IMSI "Turbo Publisher and Timeworks Publish-It to "New Greenstreet Publishing Suite" for only $29.95. Sounds like a deal to me!

Insert variable information, like names and addresses, into any document. Create or import your list. Then, in place of an actual name and address, insert fields matching the information you want in that location into your document. When you print, you select which records you want from your list. In other words, it has "merging" capabilities.

You can automatically create a web site as easily and fast as you prepare a printed document. You can do exact page replication as well as add links within your site, and to other pages, all within Greenstreet Publishing Suite. For greenhorns, you can use Greenstreet Publishing Suite's PagePilot that guides you step-by-step through creating your own web documents.

Add tables to your documents without using another program. Even puts an auto-sum field into a cell to total up a column. This software contains improved text handling, PowerText, improved graphics handling, including rotating frames, and much more I haven't room to print.

Best of all, tech support is free until December 1999. You can visit their web site at and even order online. Or, call 1-800-981-3293 to order, FAX to 1-603-882-3835.

The original offer expired October 30, 1998, but was extended to November 30, 1998. Included free should be "10,000 Photos." Also on the order blank were "Greenstreet 10,000 Clip Art" and "Greenstreet 5,000 Publishers Collection" at $5.00 each. S&H is $3.95, a bargain. Those dates may have passed by the time you read this column, but I would call anyway. These offers are often extended, but I didn't want to call the UK to find out. The 800 number is only an ordering desk.
