Some WPTools 5 Premium questions...

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hello!

    I have some questions concerning the WPTools 5 Premium.
    I checked out your Multi-Demo, "F7 Default Editor".

    From the "Format"-"Columns" menu I choose "2", "3" or "4",
    but I don't see anything changing.
    Is it still under development?

    I insert a text box, move and resize it.
    But what can I else do with the text box?
    I cannot enter text or anything else into the text box.
    What am I doing wrong? Or is it still under development, too?
    When text boxes are fully supported, what can I insert into them,
    and what not?
    You wrote "text boxes ... saved as standard RTF movable shapes".
    What does it mean?
    Can I insert graphics?
    Can I insert tables?
    Can I insert WPReporter bands?
    Can I insert further text boxes?

    Thank you in advance,
    E. Hess

    Presumed the demo you download worked correctly you should see an effect when you use the columns feature. It is under development since it is not saved to RTF yet and there is also a collision with other features, such as footnotes.

    <<I insert a text box, move and resize it.
    But what can I else do with the text box? >>

    After a double click you can enter text and tables as in the regular editor.

    Embedded images are possible, other text boxes are not allowed. Reporting bands are not allowed but mail merge fields are.

    This feature is great to create watermarks and letterheads.

    In RTFs which were created by reporting engines often positioned text is used. With WPTools 5 Premium there is finally a component available which opens those files, too.

    And footnotes can now be edited WYSIWYG. I know no other text component which does that.
