New Features of InPrint 3

InPrint 3 has been redeveloped from the ground up. You can do everything that you could in InPrint 2, but in much faster and simpler ways.

Quick Start Create Toolbar

Create frames, speech bubbles and tables. Access images from your computer or the new Widgit Media library. All from one handy Create toolbar.

New Table Controls

Creating and editing tables is now much easier and more intuitive.

Add Images in Many Ways

You can add images to your InPrint 3 documents from a number of sources, either as replacement symbols or as paragraph graphics. From the Create toolbar, you can choose to add your own images from your My Pictures folder, browse for pictures saved elsewhere on your machine / network or choose from over 4000 Widgit Media files pre-installed with InPrint 3.

You can also copy images from the web and paste them directly into your documents.

When you select an image, the Image tab will appear at the top of the screen. From here you can flip, rotate and resize the selected image. You can add a border or background colour. For symbols and Widgit Media graphics, you can edit the colours.

Intuitive Interface

InPrint 3 has an all-new intuitive interface, giving you full access to all the features of the program.

The tab bar, which runs along the top of the screen, contains multiple tabs with controls for different aspects of the program.

There are two types of tab:

Brand New Widgit Media

InPrint 3 gives you access to more than 4000 Widgit Media graphics as well as over 15,000 Widgit Symbols. Widgit Media graphics are beautifully drawn and cover a wide range of subjects. They can be used as illustrations in your resource or combined to build up scenes.

Visual Page Management

The Page Manager provides quick access to browse and manage your document.

Pinned Styles

If you need to create frames, tables, or lines with the same appearance again and again, you can 'pin' the style to save you from having to make the same changes each time. Simply right-click on a frame, table or line and select 'Pin this Style'.

New Symbolisation Controls

Smart Symbolising recognises the part of speech for each word as you type, helping you to pick the correct symbol in moments.

Combine words and combine symbols to make sentences clearer.

Templates

InPrint 3 comes with a wide variety of ready-made templates that you can use as starting points for your resources. Templates are a big time-saver when resources you are creating on a daily basis have the same structure and format.

Resource Packs

Widgit publish a range of symbol-supported learning materials and symbol stories, including extensive topic-based packs 'ready to go' for special and mainstream education, health care, and home use.

InPrint 3 comes with a number of pre-installed resources packs that you can print out or customise.

Quick Access to Files



The File tab uses thumbnails to give you quick and easy access to:

The Symbol Chooser

As you type, the Symbol Chooser displays the available symbols for your content.

You can use the symbol chooser to set defaults for your favourite symbols, or to search for symbols to add your document as images.

The Resource Library

The Resource Library provides you with quick access to the images on your machine or network as well as over 4,000 Widgit Media files.

By default, the resource library contains links to your 'My Pictures' folder, 'My Computer' and the Widgit Media files, but you can personalise the Resource Library by adding shortcuts to your most commonly used images and folders.

If you have a lot of different folders that you like to use images from, you can create a list of favourites.

Symbol Spell Checker

Simple Spell Checker
See suggestions for a spelling error by right-clicking on it.

Full Spell Checker
The full spell checker shows you suggestions in context and gives you the option to update every occurrence, throughout the document.

The dictionary is fully customisable with your own vocabulary and common mistakes.

Enhanced Layout Tools

The Arrange tab includes a number of tools to help you organise objects on the page.

You can use the Arrange tab to:

Right-Click Context Menu

The available options in the context menu will change depending on the type of object that is selected.
