What’s new in Serif WebPlus 7.0...
Welcome to Serif WebPlus 7.0—the easiest way ever to get your
business, organization, or household on the World Wide Web!
Among new WebPlus 7.0 features, you’ll find...
♦
Streamlined Text Handling
Re-engineered from the ground up, the ultra-fast text engine means
editing text is simpler and more like word processing than ever.
You’ll no longer need to switch to a separate Text tool... or cope
with artificial “text blocks.” And more logical paragraph and
character text styles will help you keep formats under control.
♦ Multiple Document Views
Now you can use WritePlus, the built-in story text editor, side by
side with the page editor. Instantaneous updating of each window
allows simultaneous draft and layout views of Web page text!
♦ QuickShapes
Long an exclusive feature of other Serif solutions, QuickShapes
work like intelligent clipart... or the most powerful set of drawing
tools you can imagine. Just choose a template shape, drag on the
page... then adjust handles to customize each angle and dimension.
♦
Powerful Drawing Options
An arsenal of new drawing tools are at your command... Sketch
freehand lines and curves. Extend existing lines with ease. Apply
line styles to all kinds of shapes—even add line endings like
arrowheads and diamonds.
♦
Gradient Fills
For sophisticated illustrations and impressive text effects, select
from a wide variety of Linear, Radial, and Conical fills. Use the
interactive fill tool for drag-and-drop updating of fill nodes and
colors.
♦
Transparency Effects
Both solid and variable transparency let you add new depth to your
Web creations using both .GIF and .PNG formats. Apply
transparency directly from the Studio, then edit nodes and opacity
with the interactive tool.
