To ensure that your application follows the latest design trends and that your users are blown away by a minimalistic, stylish, and great looking, we have updated the Material Design library.
4D Write Pro: User-friendly Display of Formulas
Formulas are an integral part of 4D Write Pro documents. They allow the integration of a lot of information coming from the database. Creating documents and templates that include formulas, combined to physical constraints (number of pages, paper size), can lead to non-wysiwyg designs. A new mode of displaying formulas is now available to facilitate this design.
What’s new in the 4D Write Pro Interface widget?
4D Write Pro offers many possibilities for both developers and end-users. A wide range of commands and standard actions are available for developers to create advanced and beautifully designed documents, while end-users are offered two feature-rich interface widgets.
Guess what 4D v19 R5 is bringing? Yes, we’ve added a set of features to the interface widget, such as management of line height!

4D Write Pro: Say hello to table headers
Tables are an essential part of 4D Write Pro. They evolve regularly by offering new presentation options. For example, a table can be displayed on several columns or pages. The table headers are repeated at the top of each column or page to make it easier for the user to read.
Starting with 4D v19 R5, the table can be enhanced with headers.
4D Write Pro – Elevate your documents’ layout with linked paragraphs
The layout of documents is a vital topic in many businesses, and there are many parameters to consider. To have even more precise control over the appearance of documents, it is now possible to link paragraphs together.
