AXENE Xclamation          

----------

The desktop publishing application Axene Xclamation easily creates top quality publications; Xclamation has multi-document capabilities, multi-column and gutters capabilities, magnetic ruler marks, integration of text, bitmap or vector drawing images within polymorphous frames, complex editing operations on frames (including logical, zooming, outlining, rotation, background transparency, etc.), and text exportation in HTML format. Xclamation performs all this with the same ergonomic graphic interface that you find in Axene XQuad (Spreadsheet) and Axene XAllWrite (Word Processor).
