SUMMARY Interactive editing and layout of high quality multi-media documents is a demanding application that is limited by the processing power available from current workstations. This short paper takes a preliminary look at the opportunities for exploiting parallelism within the document layout process, and suggests that radically new ways of thinking may be needed to take advantage of the enormous parallel processing capabilities offered by a new generation of workstations based on configurable networks of Transputers.
