The new Table Editor for PageStream The Table Editor has 2 parts to it. A stand-alone table editor/spreadsheet is the biggest part. If you are familiar with PageStream's multiple views, line fill & color, scripting and recording, configurable type styles and more then you will feel right at home with the Table Editor and know the level of control you can expect in this major addon to PageStream. Unfortunately the Table Editor is still not available. SoftLogik told us that it will be finished after the release of PageStream 4.0. Table Editor features include: multiple tables open at one time import tab delimited text from any existing text modules into table multiple charts bases on a table common cell math. +,-,*,/, sum, avg, max, min, abs etc. automatic or fixed cell width and height cell borders and fills import inline graphics in cells date, time, number formatting text formatting (most of PageStream's) font, size, type styles alignment, tracking kerning, leading line/fill full scripting view scale share defined colors with PageStream and more... Charts include: Linked to table data Define text attributes Set segment line and fill Several basic chart types include: Bar Line Scatter/Dot Pie The PageStream extension adds the ability to import/export tables/charts from the table editor. It also the ability to send the tables/charts to the table editor. By leaving the chart or graph external, updates can be done quicky and changes to the spreadsheet will update even the graphics automatically.

TextFX 2 for PageStream Almost from the day in 1986 when we released the first version of what would become PageStream, our customers have asked us for the ability to put text on a curve and distort it inside shapes. The TextFX extension for PageStream 3 gives you everything you need with a simple interface.

Borders for PageStream The Borders extension adds a new tool to PageStream's toolbox. The border designs are vector illustrations, so you can stretch them without creating jaggies. Unlike simple dashed lines, each border's corners and line pieces are professionally designed so that they look great at every size.
