Creating Home Pages with ReadyUse Content

ReadyUse content lets the experienced and novice World Wide Web user publish graphically rich Web sites quickly. ReadyUse refers to the content provided with the Micrografx QuickVector™ Pack which incorporates HTML-formatted sites and pages including backgrounds, interactive graphics, and hot links. It lets you focus on the information you want to communicate, not on the building process of the Web sites.

In addition, the Micrografx QuickVector Pack includes a collection of both transparent GIFs and vector graphics including icons, backgrounds, logos, and buttons specifically designed for Web use. You can use the Micrografx Media Manager to access these subjects.
