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.
