Newspapers

Newspapers, magazines and web sites are different types of publications, but they have a lot in common: All strive to present information as quickly, efficiently and attractively as possible.  Teambase is software designed to help groups collaborate on publications of all types.  Teambase can be used to streamline production at a weekly newspaper with a staff of 45, a national news magazine with a staff of 450, a retailer that sells in print and on the web, or a publication like yours — one with its own special needs and priorities.

Teambase gives editors and writers professional-strength tools.  Powerful features greatly extend the standard functions of Microsoft Word.  An easily customized user interface lets you strip Word down to its bare essentials, or give select users access to the most powerful tools and features. Editors can view exact line ends, hyphenations, column turns, page breaks, widows and other text attributes, as determined by QuarkXPress, directly in Microsoft Word.  While working within Word, writers and editors can make text exactly fit the page geometry.

For Example: Editors can write captions and headlines while viewing the images and other elements on the page, without blocking access to the page, which may be needed in production.  Teambase accomplishes this by granting permission to content (such as stories or pictures) separately from their containers (such as boxes on a QuarkXPress page).  There is no limit to the number of people who can collaborate on a single page as the parts come together on deadline.  Non-printing text, including Word's Track Changes mode, are preserved during composition against the QuarkXPress page.  Editors can mark text newly added or slated for deletion, while preserving exact composition and Quark's typography.
