While Apple’s Pages ( ,Īpril 2005 ), for example, lets you replace template images via simple drag and drop, Swift Publisher requires you to either delete template images before you replace them, or select one first, then click your desired replacement graphic from the Clip Art drawer to place it in the template. BeLight says that its method of handling text wrap is more intuitive, but I disagree.Īnother quirk involves the templates. Most applications, including Microsoft Word, wrap text around a graphic no matter where it is on the page. First, wrapping text around any object on the page requires you to move the text behind the object. If you’re familiar with simple page-layout programs, you’ll find certain annoyances in Swift Publisher. The program displays a disclaimer for every Web-downloaded image you place in your document, but it does not show up on the printed page. Of course, since these images are coming from the Internet, some of them may be subject to copyright restrictions. But if the built-in collection doesn’t have the picture you’re looking for you can also use the program’s integrated search feature (which uses Google) to find your perfect graphic on the Web. The program ships with more than 20,000 print-quality images that you can use in your documents. Swift Publisher includes lots of templates and clip art, making it easy to create good-looking documents.
