Now you can both anchor and repel text around an object. And the object moves with, as well as repels the text. As shown to the left, you can adjust the H and V repel distances separately, or press the padlock icon and repel the text the same horizontal and vertical distance. What this means is you can edit the text, change the size or width of the text area, change the font or size of the text, and the repelling object remains anchored with the text. As you can see, the text repels around shadows as well. Anchored objects can all appear outside the text area. One of my favorite new features can be seen in the page tabs, address bar and in bookmarks for this page. That little symbol is called a favicon. Well now you can create a custom favicon for your website. And it couldn’t be easier. Create a design, any size, create a bitmap and Name the bitmap favicon and that’s it. When you publish your website the favicon is created automatically and copied to your index_htm_files folder! Not only can you use the Home, Next and Last buttons, but you can preview your page or site in any of your installed web browsers by pressing their icons. All from inside Web Designer 7 Premium. Layer Transitions are applied in the new Layer Properties dialog. Select a Transition Effect, set the speed, and press Apply. Cool? You can preview the effect in the new Internet Explorer Preview browser. The user interface has been streamlined. The galleries are now docked along the right side of the page. Click the Page and Layer Gallery tab (right) to see the open gallery. These gallery tabs open instantly when you mouse over the tabs and close up as soon as you mouse off the gallery. The new push pin icon pins the gallery open  until you press the X to close the gallery. If you prefer, you can tear off the gallery and place it anywhere on the page. As soon as you close the gallery it returns to its docked position. The white text on the interface is now clearer and easier to read. Mouse over the tab You are going to love the new “magic snap” alignment system for object alignment (shown left). As you drag any object or text selection around the page, interactive and intuitive snap guidelines magically appear to visually help you align the selection to any object. This visual feedback constantly changes as you move your selection around the page. And the snapping is precise and accurate. It’s quite magical.

There are 22 transition effects, including Slide Out To Bottom which I have used for the pages in this Workbook. Page Transitions create an animated passage when your visitor navigates to a new page.
