This release: - Adds a Clickable Image option to the Button object. Create large clickable pictures that behave like clickable graphics at web pages.

See the discussion of Button objects in the Manual for more. - Adds controls to the Display Text editor to adjust the character spacing and line spacing for Display Text objects. Squeeze your text into tighter spaces when things get crowded. - Adds an option to the Header editor to enable a pointing cursor for clickable objects in a Presentation Wizard document, these being enabled buttons, check boxes and radio buttons. With the Pointing Cursor option enabled, your moue cursor will change to a pointing finger when it passes over a clickable object in a Presentation Wizard document. - Fixes several potential memory leaks in the Button object editor. - Fixes a bug in the JPEG import library that could crash the application when the JPEG library was confronted with certain pathological data. - Addresses a number of minor issues that crept into the initial version 6 release. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation.
