Make your web pages sparkle, your PowerPoint presentations dance and
your e-mail reach through your monitor and grasp your recipients by
their collars, shaking them vigorously to make sure you have their
complete attention. The Buttons #2 plugin will give you access to
graphic buttons hitherto only available to page designers with high-end
graphic software and at least four years of their lives lost to design
courses.
The Buttons #2 plugin features sixteen extreme button styles, each one
infinitely configurable to create graphics that stand out like a laser
with brand new batteries. Plug it in now and it will be filling your
personal universe with superb button graphics by tea time, even if you
don't like tea.
Build buttons that people will click on just for the rush.

2. Presentation Wizard 6 Revision 2 (Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
Presentation Wizard 6 has been updated. This release:
- Adds a Clickable Image option to the Button object. Create large
clickable pictures that behave like clickable graphics at web pages.
Clickable Image buttons can change pages, open documents, access
web sites and do all sorts of other things, just like conventional
buttons. 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.
