Paint Shop Pro does offer this option as well.

Well, I must say I was quite surprised to see all this feedback to a silly question. Like I explain on the first sentence of my inquiry this is my quirk to turn off the splash screens in different...

Thank you for your effort. I took a look but can't find anything either..
Oh, well, I guess must put it in the future requests :)

This is only my pet peeve but does anyone know how to turn off the splash screen in Xpro?
Would be of great help (for my nerves) :!

It's really good to see all these alternative ideas for this one "problem".
I have been using it for some days now and must say that it's not so bad once you get used to it. If you can automate it...

Good approach, it certainly brings in new possibilities working with this area.

Thanks for sharing!

Lefteris

Sure, I mean using your ideas of techniques to create something of value.
Logo design is an intricate process and can be very tricky at times.
For my work in the NGO sphere and as a freelancer I...

Thanks for the additional ideas. Wonderful!
Good for future work and certainly some food for thought and experimentation.
Simple things work better :)

Lefteris

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for including the xara file as well!

Thanks again!

I am trying to recreate the effect on this logo. Any interesting ideas how to make this in Xpro?

Sure thing! Mine is not wireless just USB-Optical.

Maybe if you played with the settings in the Intellimouse software would provide some solution.

Good luck!

Interesting perspective, thank for sharing it Hans!

I see your point Gary. So I suppose there is no function in XPro to do this automatically.

I still fold the paper in half to find the middle for the punch holes :)
Nah, rather math for the more...

Pressing down on the scroll wheel of the mouse uses the Push tool. I have an optical USB Microsoft mouse and works well on this one. No adjustments with any software for the mouse, just PnP.
Maybe...

Thanks for the tip Joe. I tried it and works fine although I was looking for a built in function from Xara Pro.
Sometimes the text and graphics I use makes it harder to include the temp box in...

One question that might sound naive but has troubled me. How do you center text or object(s) between 2 (or more?) guides (lines). It occurs a lot in my work and I need to find a quick way to do it. ...

I can suggest to use an alternative PDF export program which is also free.

I tried your file and works out ok. Good luck with your work.

I can't give you any ideas why this is happening but what I found out with XaraPro is that it's great to import pdf's of all kind with a little trick. If you try to import the PDF directly into...

That's interesting about Word Pro, I haven't tried it but OpenOffice does a better job with importing formatting for some reason.

I thought Xpro was different DTP software that I...

Albacore,
Surely, all comments are very constructive and I appreciate them. Sometimes, since my duties in the NGO is not only of a graphic designer, deadlines are very tight and things pop up in the...

Thanks, obviously my text requirements are more demanding :)

PagePlus is a good option though.

Well, depends on the formatting of the text. If it has heavy formatting then it messes up in places. If the page is heavy in formatting and text then it's harder to fix it than to reformat it in...

You are right about this Derek, however for me the PDF way might be faster.
For prepress work like brochures etc. it's an OK solution, as long as they give you the final version of the text :)
...

Ok, the solution I found to import text with all the formatting intact.

a. I import the word file to OpenOffice and then print it out as PDF. (Unfortunately the PDF export function in OpenOffice...

Thank you very much Sally for your valuable input and for pointing out the Word-Draw problems. I share your considerations about Word. I used to use Ami Pro a long time ago and it was better than...
