RagTime 5
The professional business publishing software
You don't create text or tables; you create documents.
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.

"Recycling" Data Sets
RagTime 5 documents allow you to use the same data over and over again. Whether you need to include the same text on two different paper formats or print the same business card fourteen times on one page as shown here, corrections need only be made once. All other occurrences are updated automatically.
