Adding Pages to the Project

Use the options in the Add Page dialog to define a new Page to add to the active project (FIG. 48):

FIG. 48 Add Page dialog

There are several ways to open the Add Page dialog:

• • Select Panel > Add Page
  • Click the Add Page toolbar button
  • Right-click on the Pages folder (or on any individual Page) in the Workspace window and select Add Page. To add a new Page to your project:

• Open the Add Page dialog.

• Fill in the information in this dialog to specify the basic properties for the new Page.
  • Name: Enter a name for the new Page here. By default, the pages are named Page (2), Page (3), etc... You can edit the page name at any time directly via the Workspace window (Pages tab).Note the name assigned to the Page appears in the Workspace, but is not displayed in the Page itself. Any text that is to be displayed on the Page is entered via the Text property in the Workspace window (Pages tab).
  • Colors: Set the Page background and Text colors for the new Page. Click on the palette buttons (...) to open the Colors

dialog, where you can select the desired colors.

• • Font: Select a font (Name) and Size for any text that will be displayed on this Page. Note that the actual text is entered via the Text property in the Workspace window (Pages tab). This is also where you can specify the Text Justification as well as apply a Text Effect and Text Effect Color as desired.

• Click OK to add the new Page to the active project.

The new Page is added to the Workspace window (Pages tab), under the project to which the Page was added as the active page (see "Page (2)" below):

Note that once the page has been created, all Page Properties can be viewed/edited via the Properties window.

Copying and Pasting Pages

1. Cut or copy a Page to clipboard memory:
   • To cut a Page to the clipboard, select a Page in the Workspace Window (Pages tab) and select Cut. The program will prompt you to verify this action before the Page is removed from the project.
   • To copy a Page to the clipboard, select a Page in the Workspace Window (Pages tab) and select Copy.
2. Select the target Project for the Page in the Workspace Window (Pages tab). Pages can be pasted into the current Project, or into any other Project that is open in the Workspace Window. Note that all Buttons present on the original Page are also copied, and when pasted they retain the attributes of the original buttons, according to the selections made in the Paste Controls dialog (see page 66).
3. Select Paste to paste a copy of the Page into the selected Project. If a Page with the same name already exists in the target Project, the Page's name will be modified to indicate that it is a copy of another page. This prevents existing Pages from being overwritten by a Paste operation.
