What is new in Web Designer
MX Premium? (v8)
Web Authoring/Web Publishing

Text Styles Web Designer Premium now supports Text Styles, a powerful way to alter the
appearance of text throughout your document with just a few clicks. Update an element of your
Text Style eg font, color, line spacing etc, and all text with that Style applied throughout your
document is instantly updated ? headings, titles or body text. Consistent text styles help you
create professional looking documents, and now it couldn't be easier. What's more we offer 'live'
Style preview; Simply select some text and then traverse the Style menu - the selection will
change to show your text in each Style. It's a quick and easy way to try out your Styles without
having to actually select and undo each in turn.

Automatic Object Positioning / Smart Page Resize In previous versions of Web Designer
Premium you had to manually adjust the position of items on your page as you edited or added
more text. Similarly you had to drag the bottom of the page down to make it longer as your
content grew. No longer! Web Designer Premium has the ability to make growing text areas
automatically push other objects down the page, and also lengthen the page automatically to
accommodate the enlarged text areas. Creating websites based on templates will now be
considerably easier and faster.

Inline Graphics Web Designer Premium now allows you to embed 'inline graphics' in text using
a simple 'Paste' operation. Embedded graphics are great for really small items on the line such as
symbols, icons etc, and are treated just like a 'character', in other words they flow and follow the
same formatting rules as a character embedded in the text.

Embedded Fonts (Premium only) Web Designer Premium's font embedding technology
overcomes the serious design limitation of having to stick to the very small selection of so called
'web safe' fonts. Our technique is compatible with the vast majority of modern web browsers and
works by embedding a special version of the font on your website which the web browser can
download and display.

New Widgets & Widget Improvements There's a selection of new web page Widgets in the
Designs Gallery under Page Elements.
o
New re-sizeable JavaScript Widgets (Premium only) In previous versions of Web
Designer Premium only Flash Widgets could be resized, DHTML or JavaScript Widgets
were fixed size. This release introduces re-sizeable JavaScript Widgets. All existing Widgets
have been updated to this new level, and several new ones have been added. Unlike Flash
Widgets they are compatible with all modern devices including iPhone, iPads and Windows
Phone 7, and do not require a Flash plug-in.
o
New Chart Widgets (Premium only) There is a new chart drawing Widget included which
lets you create interactive charts and graphs for your website. The charts use interactive
DHTML and SVG to render the chart in the browser, which responds to mouse-over to
highlight particular chart values.
o
Other New Widgets. A Widget for creating QR codes.
o
Enhancements to Widget Handling You can now preview a Widget in the Widget
document directly (you do not need to Close & Save it back to the original).When linking to
other pages of your website from within a Widget editor, you'll now see a list of all pages,
making it very easy to link to any page in your website from within a Widget.
