We've been getting lots of great
feedback on what customers are looking for in a page layout
tool. One of the most interesting things we heard was from a
journalist asking for guides to be easier. I know this sounds
silly - but what a great idea!
So if we throw out the notion of how
all the other software applications do guides, what could we build
to make it as easy as possible for you to turn a blank piece of
paper into professional quality design? Here's what we came
up with…
| Some people want to just drag a guide
from the ruler onto the page and drop it in place. Well,
that's easy. You might even want to move it after you put it
down. That's easy too. But some people want to have
precision in their guides - like making sure the guide is exactly
at 2" on the horizontal axis. Other people want to
automatically distribute guides evenly across a page. So we
created the Guide Manager, allowing you complete
control and freedom over guides. |

But why stop there? If we're
truly building the ultimate guide solution, why don't we give you
guide layouts for common project types? And this was the
genesis of Ready-Made Guides. You can choose
from a variety of guide layouts, from three-column newsletters to
tri-fold brochures. Simply choose your preferred guide layout
and add them to a page with one click. Want more
Ready-Made Guides? Just use the Guide
Manager to create your own layout and then save it as a new
Ready-Made Guide. It's really that
easy. |
Have you had a chance yet to use
either the Guide Manager or Ready-Made
Guides? We'd like to hear what you think.
