Bulleted and numbered lists
Use the bullet and numbered list buttons on the Text Tool info bar to quickly enter bulleted or
numbered lists. You can right click on a numbered list and choose List properties… from the context
menu to change the numbering scheme for your list. You can also use any graphic as the bullet or number
in your list. See the Text Tool chapter
for more information.
Soft Shadows, Color Filled Text, Transparent Text
You can apply any of these effects using the appropriate tools, e.g., if you drag across some text in the
Fill Tool it will give it a graduated color, or if you drag on it with the Shadow Tool
it will give it a soft shadow.
In all these cases Web Designer Premium will automatically convert the text to be a graphic on your
exported website.
Text Repel Around Objects
If you right click on an object like a photo and select the menu option 'Repel text under'
' you can make text flow around the object that is on top of the text.
Many of the objects, such as photos, side panels, buttons and headings used in the templates from the
Designs Gallery
are automatically repelling - the text will always flow around these objects as you drag them around.
Repelling objects only repel text that is behind the object - so you may have to 'bring to front' the object
in order for the repel to work ("Ctrl + F"). Alternatively if you only want an object to repel text within an
individual layer, you can prevent text that is below that layer from being repelled (useful for popup layers
within a web page) - see Layer Properties
.
All operations in the Text Tool
are live - the text re-formats and re-flows as you adjust the column width or move repelling objects
around.
Note: You can now also repel text around anchored objects
.
Anchored Objects
If you want a graphical object to appear next to a particular part of a block of text, you can anchor the
object to the text so it moves with it.
Right click the object and choose Anchor to text. Using the Selector Tool
click and drag the anchor symbol that appears in the top left of the object to the location in the text
where you would like the object anchored. Now if you edit or move the text, the anchored object moves
with the anchor point.
Spell Checker
On the Text Tool InfoBar is a button that selects the spell checker
options and language. If you select Check Spelling as you type
this will also mark all unrecognized words with a red dotted underline.
Right click on any marked word to be presented with suggested
alternatives.
