To apply a blend mode to an existing object:
1. Select an existing object on your page.
2. On the Colour tab, choose a blend mode from the Blend Mode
drop-down list.
To apply a blend mode to a new line or shape:
1. Select the line or shape tool you want to use, and set its
appropriate settings—width, colour, etc.
2. On the Colour tab, choose a blend mode from the Blend Mode
drop-down list.
3. Create your line or shape on your page.
The On-page Colour of your page is also affected by blend modes
applied to objects. This may not be immediately clear as, by default,
the On-page Colour of PagePlus X7 publications is set to
transparent and will therefore show no change. For more
information on setting an On-page Colour, see Setting individual
page properties in PagePlus Help.
