The web address I gave for the download for Ragtime Solo works. I assumed your friend still wanted to work on a PC so I have pointed you to a PC version that works on Microsoft Systems up to and including XP. I haven't tried it on Vista.

Ragtime Solo 5.6 is a DTP application for Mac or Windows. The Solo version is freeware and the Windows version can be down loaded from http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page24.html. I use is for brochures, booklets etc. Accepts photos and graphics - preferably as jpg.
Excellent for a free application.

YES ! But Solo only runs Panther but not on Tiger , and is no longer available , unless you find somebody keeping an installer .

Ragtime is the continuing DTP app

Hi all,

A friend of mine is writing a technical medical book with lots of graphics etc. using word on a windows machine, how wrong can you get? When I last did a project like that I used PageMaker which no longer exists. Can anyone please advise me of a suitable alternative software and any info on publishing would be appreciated.


Regards,

Adrian
