New in version 8.54
This document lists the changes made to EasiWriter and TechWriter since version 8.43.
Upgrade prices.
Moving
 |
You can now move structures up and down with a single keystroke. For instance, when you are editing a list, pressing Ctrl-Shift-U moves the current item up and pressing Ctrl-Shift-D moves it down. You can select several entries to move them in one go. This means you can use Easi/TechWriter as an 'ideas processor'.
The best thing is that this feature is not limited to list entries: You can just as easily move Paragraphs, Sections and Chapters. |
Sorting
| Moving up/down is not the full story: You can reverse the order of a selection of items and, finally, you can sort sequences, e.g., Lists, Paragraphs, Sections and Chapters (also Figures by their captions if that is desired). |

Other changes and fixes
The following is a list of the other main changes and bug fixes.
General
- Added Structure => Insert entries to include the bare Chapter and Section titles without the number.
- Only titles of top-level sections are displayed in headers/footers rather than a mix of levels as happened up to now.
