Alex Key Master	Just tried both functionalities and it worked fine at my end. Could you please save the word art and advise its name, so I could check what is wrong there?

Alex Key Master	One of the 'words' I used was a date '03/01/2007' This format used to work on the old programme. In the new version, the date was split into 03, 01 and 2007 and appeared in different places in my list of words ie 2007 became the first word on the list, 03 was mid way through the list etc. Please enable "CSV format" button when importing the words to make it work as before Will our old creations be saved in the new version? I quite often use an old creation as a basis for a new one. All your saved word artwork is available in the new version as well.

Alex Key Master	Ok. I'll try to explain the difference below. Old version You have size column in the words table and "words size" parameter in the layout section with "maximize" (default) and "use size column from words table" options. Words in the words table are sorted using the size column from biggest to smallest. Let's say you created a new word art and imported a text. You will see the words list with different sizes, but by default the sizes are used only to sort the words in the table. If you change the words size option to "use size column from words table" then the sizes will be counted when actual word size is calculated during the visualization. New version You don't see the sizes by default because (as I described above) the actual size values don't matter, what matters is the position of a word. The closer a word to the top of the list, the bigger a word will be. When you switch to the "manual" option for the size parameter, you actually make the size column displayed and enable "use size column from words table" option in terms of the old version. I suppose that you used the old version with the default "maximize" option, and now when you just want to see the words sizes, you unintentionally change the size behavior. I recommend you not to switch to "manual" in the new version if you need the old default behavior. Hope it clarifies the issue.

Alex Key Master	There is no upgrade option available. You purchase a pack / package that is more suitable for you at the moment. If it expires you purchase another one.

Alex Key Master	You can change only the first 100 biggest words in the edit mode. It was done for performance reasons as otherwise the edit mode would be too slow. I recommend you to download your word art in EPS or SVG vector format, then open it in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator and change the colors there.
