Just kidding. I spent well over a week preparing the Workbook.

BTW Has anybody noticed that the Celtic looking Designer Pro 6 logo is in fact a d p and 6?

[Soquili]

Gary I had not noticed the d p and 6. Shows that some are more observant than others.

OH! I was wondering what the he** was the symbol to do with Xara, Designer, Xtreme or whatever, althought i liked it a lot...
Now i know
Love the look of it and the new splah screen. Looks more streamlined and professional than the previous version.

An interesting real life story.

While I was proof reading the Workbook, I realized that I had transposed the Pro and the 6. I was calling it Designer 6 Pro while the splash screen calls it Designer Pro 6.

I used the new Edit > Find and Replace to correct the problem.

You can use it to find a phrase, and not just a single word. It is a really powerful new text tool and one well worth trying out.

Thanks for the overview Gary ... good as ever

I noticed on the comparison page that XD6 doesn't have 'Navigation bars & menus'. Does that mean that you can't adjust the flyout menus in XD6?

JimR

[Soquili]

No Jim that means that Photo & Graphic Designer does not have the new Web Designer 6 feature for creating navigation bars.

Designer Pro 6 does have the same features as Web Designer 6.

Gee Gary,

I can't believe it took you so long to get this out....I mean.....hasn't Designer Pro 6 been out for at least a day now?

Great work.....and in case anyone isn't sure, I'm actually joking........
