Digital Camera Buyer reviews Web Designer
"We haven't come across a design program quite so simple to use in ages and you really can create something that won't look like everything else out there."

Designer Today reviews Web Designer
"At $49 it truly is a steal for anyone looking for a simple way to publish their web content. I highly recommend this software.."



Rulers in Xtreme and Web Designer
The menus show that the shortcut to show / hide the rulers is Ctrl+L. This works except in the Text Tool, where this shortcut selects a line of text. So we added a second shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+R which also shows / hides the rulers. This works in all the tools including the Text Tool. And it's easy to remember - R for Rulers.

Switch between open documents in Xtreme and Web Designer
It's easy, just use Ctrl+Tab. This cycles around open documents. And if you can press the combination Ctrl+Shift+Tab it cycles the other way around the open documents.



Are you planning to move to Windows 7?
