A Noddy's Guide to using TEX for Text Production: From Manuscript to Bromide

Helen A. Gibson · 1990

The purpose of this paper is to give a practical example of a PC system setup for obtaining high quality typeset output. A brief discussion of the Wellcome Institute's publication requirements will be followed by detailed explanations of the hardware and software configurations, how to output to Postscript and the utilisation of electronic communications for sending laser printer proofed text to a Linotronic 300 phototypesetter. The value of employing Wordperfect macros, alternative keyboard layouts and style files as an interface for secretarial inputting is also demonstrated.
