    <title>Serif PagePlus X4 launched</title>
    <description>Serif is delighted to announce the launch of PagePlus X4, the latest and greatest version of our award-winning desktop publishing software.
    When you create publications, you inevitably do more than just layout and print the page. You write text, design graphics, enhance images, import content, and more, then share your work in print, as PDFs, or as emails. PagePlus X4 makes all this easy, it’s a publishing package designed to be as flexible as you are.
    
    Some of the great new features and benefits include:
    
        *
    
    
          PhotoLab: Edit images using professional tools and effects in the new PhotoLab to give your pictures the look you want without the need to open a separate photo editing program.
    
          Learning Zone: Easily accessible from the redesigned Startup Wizard where you can open templates, ‘How-To’ topics, printable tutorials, videos, and much more.
    
          Dynamic Guides: When moving objects around the page, guidelines will appear when your selection is near the top, middle, bottom, and sides of other objects, margins, and pages allowing you to layout your page neatly — and fast.
    
          Improved PDF Import: PDF Import is now more accurate and you can import cropped data to fit the current page area. Embedded Type 1 fonts are now supported as well.
    
          Anchored Objects: Keeps associated text and pictures together during editing so no matter how much you need to change the content, your text and images will always be where you want them.
    
          Word and OpenOffice.org Import: You can import and edit text and pictures from Microsoft Word — including Word 2007 — even if you don’t have Word installed! The importing and editing of OpenOffice ODF documents is also supported.
    
          Picture Frames and Borders: These are great for displaying photos in a document or jazzing up newsletters and brochures.
    
          Backwards Compatibility With PagePlus X3: PagePlus X4 publications can be opened and edited using PagePlus X3 – and of course PagePlus X3 and earlier files can be opened and edited in PagePlus X4.
