Nudging Objects
The arrow keys can be used to nudge the selected object, one pixel at a time. If you hold "Shift", it
nudges objects 10 pixels at a time.
Rotating Objects
There are two ways to rotate an object. Either click on the object a second time, so the selection
handles change to show rotation handles, which you can then drag on to rotate the object. Or, when it's
showing the square selection handles, move the mouse pointer just inside the corner handles until you see
the mouse pointer change to a rotation indicator - you can then also drag to rotate the selected object.
Unusually you can rotate just about anything in Web Designer Premium, including photos, headings, even
blocks of text. Since web browsers can't display text at an angle, Web Designer Premium will
automatically convert any rotated text into graphics when exporting as a website.
InfoBar
When an object is selected, the InfoBar - just above your document - shows all the relevant controls for
the current tool. This bar changes depending on which tool is selected. This is the InfoBar in the
Selector Tool
:
The InfoBar, just above your document, shows controls for the selected tool.
You can enter numeric values into any field. e.g. to reduce the size of an object by 20% you can enter
80% into the W field (which is a % size). The little padlock selects whether both the width and height
change together.
Copying Objects
You can use the usual "Edit" > "Copy" ("Ctrl + C") and "Edit" > "Paste" ("Ctrl + V") options or
right click an object and choose Copy
, but a really quick way to copy any item is drag on it with the right mouse button.
You can also copy and paste a page anywhere in your document from the current document or another
document ? see Copying and pasting
pages.
