Does anyone know of any word processors which allow the inclusion of graphics displays such as charts, etc. with the text. The application is to be able to place plot output into a document. If you have any leads, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks. Timothy A. Johnson Computer Sciences Corporation

Highly recommend a product called INSET from American Programmer's Guild in Menlo Park (I think). There product works as an add-on for just about any word processor. They provide a means to grab a graphic screen display, modify it, and include it with the text of your word processor output. They trap characters going to the printer looking for their magic sequence. -- Mojo ... Morris Jones, MicroPro Product Development {ptsfa,hplabs,glacier,lll-crg}!well!micropro!kepler!mojo

Macs are good at including graphics in documents, and let you control fonts. Framework (for IBM PC compatibles) lets you include text, graphs, spreadsheets, and databases in a document. Advantages: your input file includes the actual graph and data, not just a copy of the screen, so the document is easy to update when the data changes. Disadvantages: you're stuck with the kinds of graphs the Framework can produce: Bar and stacked bar charts, line and point graphs, and pie charts. Another feature unique to Framework is its ability to display a rough version of a graph on a non-graphics monitor. -- George Snyder -- Intermetrics, Inc. -- inmet!gjs --
