Photo cropping
You can easily tailor an image using the cropping tool to zoom in on people or objects.

Special text styles
Some templates have special text styles, allowing you to easily embellish or highlight a word or phrase for added effect.

Your choice of photo 
Sets of “recommended images” are supplied to save you time, and they’re guaranteed to look great. You can also drop in any digital photo you like, whether from our extensive library, a scanner, Canon digital camera, or photos on a CD.   

Special effects
Look out for designs with exciting image effects, like Monochrome and Sepia, which will work on your photos too. 

Using MS Word
If you have Microsoft Word you can use it to edit text from inside Design Essentials. Simply select a text frame and press F8–it’s that easy!   Design Essentials will automatically adapt Microsoft Word heading styles to suit the design, helping you to work quickly. The online Help will show you how to do this.

Adding pages 
Templates such as Newsletter and Letterhead allow you to add as many extra pages as 
you need.
