¬WriteUpä is a full-featured word processor that excels at letters, memos, reports, proposals and all types of common business documents. WriteUp has everything expected in WYSIWYG word processors: fonts, color, alignment, indents, tabs, pagination, headers and footers, spell checking, margin control, destination object links, and graphic support for TIFF and EPS. It also provides advanced typographical features such as smart-quotes, kerning, line height control, and automatic hyphenation. WriteUp contains templates, mail merge, columns, named paragraph styles and "runaround" for flowing text around graphics. A page navigator allows rapid access to any document page with thumbnail sketches of all pages. WriteUp can display multiple views of documents at zoom factors from 10% to 1600%.   

¬ PasteUpä is an extremely powerful and easy to use document creation and word processing package. Offering all the features of AFS' WriteUp, PasteUp is also a page layout tool, providing visual design tools, very flexible multi-column layout, fully functional graphical drawing tools, and advanced typographical features such as text wrapping around graphics, kerning, leading, and smart punctuation. Like WriteUp, PasteUp offers spell-checking and hyphenation in 8 different languages, as well as support for RTF, RTFD, and other popular document formats. Importing of TIFF, EPS, and PS graphics is standard; user-supplied image filter services are also supported. PasteUp can skew, rotate and scale any text or graphic element to any arbitrary degree and precision. PasteUp can also perform sophisticated pre-press operations such as spot color, color separations, crop and registration marks, and printing to all supported PostScript devices.

¬ For leading edge financial services firms who want to streamline their trading support operations, afs:TRADEä  is a front office trading system that is easy to use and can be adapted quickly for specific customer requirements.
