Amiga Format PageSetter

“Amiga Format PageSetter” refers to the desktop publishing (DTP) software PageSetter by Gold Disk, which was notably included as a full application on a cover disk (specifically issue 34a, and later issue 63a as PageSetter 2) of the British computer magazine Amiga Format.

The Software: PageSetter

PageSetter was a popular desktop publishing program for the Commodore Amiga computer system, released in the mid-1980s.

Functionality: It allowed users to mix text and graphics to create professional-quality documents such as newsletters, flyers, and reports.
Features: Key features included an intuitive interface, built-in text and graphics editors, support for multiple pages and various fonts/styles, and the ability to import content from other Amiga word processors (like WordPerfect and KindWords) and graphics programs (like Deluxe Paint).
System Requirements: The initial version required an Amiga with at least 512K of RAM.
Versions: Several versions were released, including PageSetter 2 and PageSetter 3.

The Magazine: Amiga Format

Amiga Format was a leading UK-based magazine published by Future plc, dedicated to the Amiga platform from 1989 to 2000. The magazine was well known for including valuable software, demos, and utilities on its cover-mounted floppy disks, which is how many users acquired the full version of PageSetter.
