♦ Enhanced Studio Bar with Page Manager

More convenient and powerful than ever, the Studio’s tabs can

now be floated, redocked, shown or hidden individually. It’s easier

to select gallery categories, assign text, line, and fill colors, and

vary shading. Plus the all-new Pages tab provides a graphical

overview that lets you drag and drop to add or subtract pages and

assign master pages, with instant access to the Page Manager for

total control over page content.

Choose from a multi-faceted Studio gallery of picture-based

effects, ready to work their magic on shapes or artistic text. You

can even import your own images as bitmap fills!

♦ Curved Line Tool and Freehand Shapes

QuickShapes are still superb, but now you can “have it all”... Just

choose a line tool (including a new one specifically for curves),

draw a line... connect other segments if you wish... then just

connect the end points to create any shape you like!Customize

the line and fill, apply transparency, even freely edit the outline.

♦ Precise Editing of Lines, Shapes, Wrap and Crop Outlines

Try the new Curve Toolbar to fine-tune the contours of any line,

closed shape, text wrap boundary or cropping edge. Simply drag

the curve’s segments or edit its Bézier nodes to achieve exactly the

result you want.
