EDIT: See end of question.

I need to maintain the same outer margins that are defined for the rest of the document, and include a title for the quad chart. Text in one quad shouldn't flow into the other quads or I would have used multicols with horizontal lines. Someone suggested the following in a similar question, but I wasn't sure on how to implement it.

\newflowframe{.45\textwidth}{.45\textheight}{0pt}{.55\textheight}
\newflowframe{.45\textwidth}{.45\textheight}{.55\textwidth}{.55\textheight}
\newflowframe{.45\textwidth}{.45\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}
\newflowframe{.45\textwidth}{.45\textheight}{.55\textwidth}{0pt}

It would be nice if I could control the inner quad margins to use the maximal area possible without detracting from readability.

Working example, sorry about verbose preamble:

EDIT: I missed the attached document detailing other format requirements. The document specifying the format is on the last two pages of the Broad Agency Announcement, and here are screenshots:

I've also found the two images, but example images would be fine: http://www.uwyo.edu/airrotc/_files/images/af-wings.jpg

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

  • Do you need rules between the minipages? Sep 7, 2015 at 18:14
  • Added working example. Rules would be good. Sep 7, 2015 at 18:17

    Do you expect us to go and read those last two pages? Please add all the requirements to your question. Sep 7, 2015 at 20:06

    flowframes are for when you WANT text to flow. Use minipages when you DON'T want text to flow. Sep 8, 2015 at 2:01
