PhD. Dissertation, University of Waterloo, 1985. Beach describes his work at Xerox PARC extending wysiwyg systems (Tioga) to support more graphical style attributes, and in particular to support composition of complex tables. I don't know how to obtain a copy of the thesis, I'm afraid; maybe U. Microfilms or mail to U. of Waterloo Dept. of Computer Science. The particular system isn't wildly impressive, though it does handle the Lesk example. But Beach has good general discussion and references.
