Operation Manual

6 Overview
♦ Speedy Soft Edges
No more laborious transparency-tweaking... the Feathering filter
effect adds a soft or blurry edge to any object. Great for blends,
montages, vignetted photo borders, and much more.
♦ Dramatic Dimensionality
Why settle for only two dimensions? Instant 3D adds realistic
depth to ordinary objects and text. Use one master control panel to
vary extrusion, rotation, bevel, lighting, texture, and more.
♦ Object Styles Transform with a Single Click
Select any object (including text) and choose from a gallery of
ready-made styles that combine a host of attributes such as 3D
filter effects, fills, transparency, line styles, border—even font
variations. Customize the preset styles or create your own!
♦ Artistic Text on a Path
Artistic text is more powerful than ever with the new path text
tools. Just select a tool, draw your line, and start typing... beautiful
text flows along the path. You can edit the path as any line
(altering the text flow accordingly) and still change the text
properties at any time!
♦ Even More Multimedia and HTML Support
Use Paste Special to insert formatted HTML directly from the
Clipboard... Import Flash Shockwave (.SWF) animated movies or
MP3 audio files!
♦ Streamlined Web Site Publishing
Choose pages to publish to disk from a convenient tree view...
Revamped FTP, better management of image resolution, and
repeatable file name prediction when publishing to the Web mean
smaller exported file sizes and faster upload times!
♦ As a Design Environment, Friendlier than Ever
Always responsive to WebPlus users’ requests, we’ve added auto-
naming of text objects... improved alignment controls...and mouse
wheel support... text case settings... the ability to edit individual
objects within groups without affecting group-wide settings... not
to mention a host of “behind the scenes” enhancements!
