8 Welcome to WebPlus X2
• Instant 3D with On-screen Transforms (see p. 174)
Transform 3D objects in-situ with 3D editing from a context toolbar.
Apply awesome multi-coloured lighting effects (with directional
control), along with custom bevel and lathe effect profiles to create your
very own unique contours. Hardware-accelerated rendering boosts
redraw performance (hardware dependent).
• Year update for Calendars plus inline events (see p. 135)
Update your calendar's year and add named personal events, plus
country- or region-specific public holidays, all with powerful event
control.
• Text and Style Formatting! (see p. 91)
Apply gradient colour fills and transparency to creative table and frame
text; apply to selected characters, whole words or even entire paragraphs!
Ctrl-select multiple words or paragraphs (frame or artistic text alike) to
apply common formatting. Change text style assignment simultaneously
with the new Text Styles tab. View your currently installed font set in the
Fonts tab, including recently used and Websafe fonts. Search for fonts
and preview your fonts on selected text.
• Enhanced Tables (see p. 129)
Add/remove columns/rows by dragging end headers. In-context drop-
down menus on row/column headers manipulate individual rows or
columns.
Distribute or autofit selected rows, columns, or your entire
table—even set absolute row/column sizes! Sort single- or multi-
column/row contents. Now benefit from
resizing of table columns
without affecting overall table width. New functions (including logical
and trigonometric) are added for more comprehensive "spreadsheet"
functionality.
• Tab view controls
WebPlus now features auto show/hide tab controls, with supporting
slide, fade, or roll animation effects. Favourite user-defined workspace
profiles can be loaded from the Startup Wizard (or use a preset
workspace profile).
