Well, the general answer is - yes.

Some problems:

- TRichView does not support portrait and landscape pages in the same

document. They must be arranged in two (or more) documents. But it's

possible to print and preview them as one document.

- Rectangles around groups of cells are not supported. There is an event

where you can draw cell border yourself, but it's called for each cell

separately. Well, I can explain how to get coordinates of individual cells,

so you will be able to calculate the proper rectangle coordinates.
