Q: What
are SmartDesigns?
A: SmartDesigns
are intelligent templates built into DesignExpress, to aid you
creating a distinctive look to your labels, business cards, or
whatever. Unlike traditional templates which simply place a few
objects on a page and leave the rest up to you, SmartDesigns allow
you to modify many aspects of the design with a few clicks of the mouse.
The
SmartDesigns Browser Control (near the bottom of your screen) lets
you try out different design styles simply by browsing the available
choices. Choose a different paper stock, font, type size, design
layout, or graphic accent with a simple mouse click.
To
operate the Browser:
1.
Click on the right arrow to advance to the next selection. Hold the
mouse button down to continuously advance the selection.
2.
Click on the left arrow to move back to the previous selection.
3.
You can click on the text portion of the browser to pop up a menu
with the available choices, and select a specific entry in the list.
Note:
If you have already made formatting changes before you click on a
SmartDesign choice, you may be warned that your formatting changes
will be lost. It is therefore a good idea to find the SmartDesign
choices you like right from the start, and then begin your customizations.
