Introduction

There are plenty of illustration programs out there, but Xara's new Xtreme Pro is different. For starters, it is blazing fast, easy to use, and does much more than illustration. It also doesn't cost too much, and we'll explore some possibilities with the product in this review.

Conclusion

Xara Xtreme Pro has an extensive repertoire, and I know that I'll love to have this program in my system for quick edits and easy-to-create graphics, even though I have those other high end programs installed as well. At this price point, Xara Xtreme Pro will probably pay for itself in one job that you do with it!

Featured Story

Adobe Captivate's Edit View

In an earlier post last week, I discussed Adobe Captivate's views and compared them to PowerPoint's deafult views. I also explained about the Storyboard View. In this post, I'll look at Captivate's Edit view, which in many ways is similar to PowerPoint's Normal view. If you are not already in Edit view within Captivate, choose the View drop-down in the toolbar, and select Edit View.
