Circular Text
|
|
Clicking on Circular Text will open a new text editor which is similar to the one for normal text (see explanations above for details). After you have edited and formatted your text, click on OK to proceed and your circular text will appear at your cover. The circular text is surrounded by a box which will not appear at your cover, it was only designed to edit the circular text. If you click on one the marks of the box and hold the mouse button you are now able to change the amount of curvature. |
It’s not always so easy to arrange several objects (pictures, tables, etc.) properly. Sometimes it looks weird and confusing to see objects which are quite (but not really) in the middle of the picture. Once again, we’ve developed something helpful. Ashampoo® Gadge It supports three shortkeys for a well-balanced arrangement. If you click on an object while keeping the left mouse button pressed you can arrange it freehand.
STRG: The middle of the cover is displayed by dashed red lines (horizontally and vertically) If you move you object next to these lines, it will simply cling to it. This adhesion is common with the other features coming up.
STRG + SHIFT: Additional to the middle lines of the page also the centers of the objects are displayed.
ALT: This one focuses on the objects. The outlines of the objects are shown (virtually extended) by red lines to arrange them in parallel or adjoining.
