New features
New features and enhancements introduced in PagePlus X8 give you
more professional-looking publications, more control, more style, more
design power, and new publishing capabilities!
Professional Text Handling
• Text alignment to a Baseline Grid (see p. 63)
Give newsletters, brochures, magazines, programmes, handouts and
other multi-column publications a clean, consistent, professional
finish by neatly aligning text across different columns, frames, and
pages, even when font sizes vary. Baseline Grid is available as a
setting for entire publications or individual frames.
• New text frame layout controls (see p. 60)
Give text in frames a neater look with column rules and fine tune
spacing, or padding. Apply a mirrored layout for facing pages
publications (that have different left and right pages). Uneven
columns and margins can simply switch from one side of the frame
to the other when moving between pages, without you having to
edit text or frame settings.
• Auto-Correct enhancements
Improvements include multi-word auto-correct, which can help
insert phrases when you start a sentence, and automatic detection of
lists, hyperlinks, and email addresses.
Digital Publishing and Design
• Place PDFs
In addition to full PDF editing it’s now also possible to simply place
supplied PDFs into your publications and designs as non-editable
