Playing Tag with the new feature

For those of you patiently wondering how to apply the new style tags to your text (Nov. 7 release), I'm posting instructions here direct from my tech guy. I should be able to get this on the user manual soon... These are very cool as they allow for many styles of text within one text box. Thanks to a couple users who suggested this feature.

Here is how to apply tags for certain styles:

[b]text in bold[/b]
[i]text in italic[/i]
[indent 20]text indented 20 points (or any range)
[typesize 20]some text of size 20 (or any size)[/typesize]


You can also apply two tags to one text, for example: [b][i]text in bold and italic[/i][/b] Or, overlap two tags: [b] text in bold [i]and italic[/b]but this text is just italic. [/i]

Tag -- You're it!

Copying/Pasting Text

I've had a couple people ask recently how to copy and paste text:

It is possible to right-click copy, or control-c (Mac: command-c) the highlighted text in your text program and paste it by doing a control-v (command-v) into the text elements box.

We've added an update

Yesterday we updated BCP to include optional crop marks. This comes in very handy with printers like Lightning Source, for example. When generating to a desired format, simply simply check the box to the left to include the marks that will appear outside your printed area on all 4 corners and spine.

Cheers!
