Operation Manual

• New User Interface
WebPlus has undergone major rework to ensure all the content you need
is always at your fingertips. A whole series of dockable Studio tabs now
replace the Studio toolbar and ChangeBar available in previous WebPlus
versions. These provide single-click access to commonly used settings
such as Line, Opacity, and Colour. More precise control is also possible
when aligning objects (Align tab), formatting text (Character tab) and
positioning objects (Transform tab). A Swatches tab hosts a myriad of
palette-based colour swatches for solid, gradient and bitmap fills and line
colouration—you can even add, view, edit or delete colours you have
been using in your web site from within the Publication palette. The
existing Site tab has been revitalized with an optional preview/layout
mode.
Every tab can be docked/undocked, grouped with other tabs, resized in
any direction or shown/hidden. You can also create different
configurations of these tabs and save them as separate workspaces for
instant recall whenever you wish. Collapse tabs in a specific order
according to usage.
• Enhanced FTP Upload! (p. 211)
New FTP features include uploading your WebPlus project to safeguard
against loss. Manually control which files to upload during more versatile
incremental updates. Fancy a fresh start? Now delete the entire site in one
operation.
• Font Control (p. 63)
Use WebSafe Fonts Manager to standardize fonts between your web site
and your target audiences' computers. Define any font as WebSafe or
force rasterization. Planning to use a third-party WebPlus project? Avoid
problems with missing fonts by using the Resource Manager's font
substitution capabilities.
