The result of your work is judged by the finished printed
document. Reports, price lists, analyses and sales materials
are more than simply text, spreadsheets and charts.
It is the combination of all the elements, which transforms
a text into a report and a table into an analysis that
is ready for a presentation.
Up
to now, you haven't used layout programs, because you
couldn't afford to do without spreadsheet calculations
or text processing. Now you can give your work that
final polish. With RagTime, you have a single convenient
layout environment in which you can process text, tables,
drawings, pictures and graphs. The intuitive user interface
simplifies your quick access to all of RagTime's functions.
Professional tools for high-quality results
Pictures in Spreadsheets
RagTime spreadsheets have two faces: They simplify your
work whenever you have to clearly divide a section of
your page into rows and columns. Plus, in RagTime, spreadsheet
cells can accommodate anything you can place on a normal
page:
pictures, charts, text ... whatever. At the same time,
they're still calculating tools featuring sophisticated
mathematical functions, from simple sums to statistical
evaluations, and much more. And all of this is possible
in layout mode!
From
a simple report to a book project.
RagTime 5 offers you all the aids needed for demanding
typography. Naturally, you not only have settings for
fonts, paragraphs, lines and colors but also those necessary
for kerning and a multitude of other useful typographical
adjustments. With RagTime, you have access to an unlimited
range of master pages, which can of course be used in
accordance with specific rules. An automatic table of
contents, an index and the management of footnotes with
free markers round out the picture.
The
Inventory Window
You have never seen this before: In an Inventory
window, you have an organized overview of all the
components and aids, that have been used in your
document. However, this Inventory window is not
simply a passive list, rather each object in it
can be edited by simply double-clicking on its name
in the list. Even better: with Drag & Drop components
can be moved to or from documents or to the desktop
or can even be duplicated. |

Naturally,
you don't need this to quickly write and print an informal
fax. However, as soon as you need to maintain compliance
with a set of rules regarding format and to ensure that
the documents are organized and have a uniform appearance,
you will quickly find the Inventory list to be an indispensable
aid. |
