About the Newton Press application window

The Newton Press application window presents a view of how a book will
appear on a Newton PDA.

The application automatically formats text for display on a Newton PDA,
setting text margins to the proper line length and breaking a document into
pages that fit a Newton PDA screen.

As you work on a document, you can move from page to page, typing, editing,
and formatting the pages as you go. You can also select the entire document
with the Select All command from the Edit menu and make changes.

The formatting that you can perform with Newton Press matches the
abilities of the Newton PDA. For example, text can appear in three fonts
(Espy Sans, New York, and Geneva), because these three fonts are available
on Newton PDAs.

When you add documents to a Newton book, the information is formatted
automatically to fit the Newton PDA screen. Newton Press preserves
formatting characteristics of the original document, such as font size
and style, whenever possible. If the document uses fonts unavailable on a
Newton PDA, Newton Press can automatically substitute Newton PDA fonts,
if you want.

You can set the amount of information that
