We offer two approaches, the second building on the first. Core QualiType contains our Tabular command set, all you need to construct tables of the highest complexity.

Learn moreGraphics
Graphics can be merged into a document in a variety of ways. First, a graphic can be merged into the text stream with a command. When this method is used, the graphic is anchored to the text, so that when the text flows from page to page, the graphic will move with it. Second, it can be called out by command as part of a floating element on the page, anchored loosely but placed nearby, top or bottom. And third, it can be picked up and dropped on the page in a specific position, and independent of the text.
