Page Layout

RagTime offers a frame-oriented page layout which allows you to combine and arrange any document items on a page, according to your requirements. The document items – text, spreadsheets, pictures, graphs, drawings, etc. –  are called components in RagTime and can be created and edited in a separate editing window. In a page, components are arranged in frames.

The RagTime frame-oriented page layout offers you many advantages:

• Easy arrangement of all components on a page by just dragging the corresponding frame
  
• Time savings by directly editing all components within the layout page
  
• High level of document reusability by direct access to all components via an inventory which lists each used component such as pictures, text, spreadsheets, layouts, etc.
• Easy realization of complex layout tasks using RagTime components, which can all – drawings included – be used in any frame types and table cells, or flow with the text
  
• Safe document output and exchange due to precise position information
  
• Easy creation of interactive documents thanks to calculation functions that can be used within tables, text, graphs and controls
• Flexible and time-saving layouts based on frames which can, with all their content, be rotated, scaled and distorted
• Comfortable realization of sales documents and presentations by use of single page formats, which allow combining several page formats within a document
  
• Spell accuracy in documents due to standardized spell checking function in all components, e.g. text, spreadsheets, graphs and drawings
