Reader TIP 2: Sean Sedwards, the plug-in filter maven, pointed out recently in the Xara Conference that pressing the Shift key at the same time as pressing Create
when creating a Bitmap Copy (Arrange > Create Bitmap Copy) will place the bitmap directly on top of the vector objects from which the bitmap is being created. Normally a bitmap copy is centered
in the screen. |

Avoid repetitive tasks TIP: Creating a template is a good way to preset a page. For example, if you frequently work with Show Printer Colors enabled, (Window menu), Pica
measurements, and color units set to Percent rather than 1-255, and so forth, create a blank page with these settings and save it as a Template. (File > Save Template) Give it a
descriptive name and save it. You can create templates for a variety of uses. To open a template select File > New... and select your template from the flyout menu. |
