(2/19/10) Another addition was made to ver. 1.6.7: A user can delete files by right-clicking in the open xml or save xml dialogs. Most importantly, if the file being deleted is a WordRad XML file, the user is notified of that, and also that all associated files with the same root as the xml file will also be deleted. This is a greatly needed feature that was implemented, because when a WordRad web page is built, a number of auxiliary files associated with the XML file are also created, and previously there was no feature to automatically delete all of these if the xml file were deleted.

 

(2/18/10) WordRad 1.6.7 now available for download - A crucial change was made effecting when a WordRad xml file (i.e. a web page) is opened and then rebuilt using the name of another existing WordRad xml file. Previously, the display options for the new web page were retrieved, not from the already open xml file, but instead from the xml file that was being overwritten. Now those options are retrieved from the already open xml file. Essentially, the behavior here now mirrors what the user would expect in a typical "Save As" type file operation in most other software.

 

(2/5/10) There was a bug fix uploaded after the release of 1.6.5 yesterday, but we're keeping the same version number. So if you've already downloaded 1.6.5 you should do so again.

 

(2/4/10) WordRad 1.6.5 now available for download - The Anchors Dialog is introduced in this version. It is accessible from the 'Build Web Page' Dialog by hitting the new 'a' button next to the Images button to toggle the Images button to read 'Anchors'. Click on that and it takes you to the new Edit Anchors dialog. You can enter or edit html anchor tags here for your page (meaning you no longer have to modify the XML file directly to add anchor tags - which never worked particularly well anyway.) You can even paste arbitrary text (e.g an arbitrary html file) into the anchors dialog text box, and it wil strip out everything but the anchor tags and display them only. Also new in this version, the dynamics of hyperlink display on Wordrad web pages have been greatly enhanced. If downloading the new version from this website, make sure to download the new help files as well (in Setup2.exe).

 

(12/27/09) WordRad 1.6.1 now available for download - A default bullet is now used on a web page if the current font does not have bullets (see the last comment below for version 1.6) Also a few other issues as well that cropped up immediately after the release of 1.6 were all fixed.

 

(12/20/09) WordRad 1.6 - The Insert Object Menu selection is now fully functional in WordRad, so you can now select "Paintbrush Picture" for example, and then within WordRad draw an image directly on your page with Microsoft Paint, with that image being displayed and subsequently modifiable with all the built in WordRad texturization effects, as well as of course that image being a part of a web page if you build one. (See the end of the 'Paste Mask' section of WordRad Help, for further details.) Also new in 1.6: The options available through the Format menu selection (tabs, bullets, paragraph formatting) are now all fully functional for web page development. Note however that to display bullets on a web page, the bulleted text itself has to be in a font that has a defined bullet character. So if a bullet doesn't show up in the web page, you need to select a different font.)

 

WordRad 1.5.1 - URL query string parameters can now be added to any embedded swf or html file in the Web Images Dialog. So, arbitrary parameters can be passed into these embedded files.

 

WordRad 1.5.0 - The previous release of WordRad, 1.4.0, introduced the 'wyswyg' option for images in the Web Images dialog. It allowed a user the option of displaying images on a web page in the same format as they appear in the original WordRad document. This was made possible by advances in FlashPlayer 10, which allows efficient implementation of bitwise logical operations on image pixels. (WordRad employs a bitwise algorithm for combining an image, forground and background in the original WordRad document. This algorithm could not be employed for web page images in previous versions of WordRad.) Version 1.5.0 capitalizes on these advances in 1.4.0 by now allowing the user to apply any bitwise logical formula to a web page image. This feature is accessible through the new "Alter W" dialog. Also new in 1.5.0: the 'W' option allows the original WordRad bitwise formula, or any bitwise formula, to be applied to embedded images and embedded .SWF (flash) applications now as well (Consult WordRad Help for details.)

 

***NOTE: New versions of WordRad are periodically made available in the File Catalog (to fix bugs when they are reported and when existing features are enhanced. Make a note of the version number.) These new versions of WordRad can be downloaded and installed directly over your existing WordRad installation.***
