  26. Better handling of hokeys for inventory. Hokeys in inventory is a company wide # that is used to uniquely identify inventory in the RTO Pro Home Office.

When RTO Pro internally creates a new hokey when receiving inventory, it will now check the # against inventory that has been transferred out to make sure the # is unique. This should eliminate duplicate hokey messages at Home Office. Ver 5.2.44 12-28-2007

Now a third method is supported that is called 'anchored to a paragraph'. This means that the text still flows around the image but the geometrical position is relative to the paragraph to which it is anchored. If other text is inserted in front of this paragraph the image is moved with the text.

    Text Frames: RTO Pro Word Processor now supports text frames. A text frame is a rectangle that can be filled with text by an end-user and that can be edited like the main text.

    Image and Text Frame Mouse Interface: A new mouse interface for images and text frames is available. They can be moved and sized in every insertion mode. A selection frame with size handles shows the current selection state.

    Table Formatting: Additional features have been added to give end-users more control of how tables are formatted at page breaks. A forced page break can be inserted in a table at each character position using the CTRL+ENTER key combination. This moves the complete table row to the next page. Additionally, a table row can receive a new formatting attribute determining that the complete row is moved to the next page, if at least one line of text is on the next page. Furthermore, a height can be specified which is the table row's minimum height. If more text is inserted, the height grows as necessary.

    Table Splitting: A table can be split below or above the table row containing the current input position.

    PDF Document Security: You can now set standard PDF security features for PDF file exports. Both passwords can be set: a user password to allow document opening and a master password to allow modification of the current access permissions.
