VTools is a collection of useful editing and production tools.Advisory Board is an easy-to-use redlining and note tool for improving review workflows. The Advisory workflow is simple. When editing a document, select the altered text and click on either the Mark or Review buttons on the palette. Text that is to be deleted is marked in magenta; new or changed text is tagged for review in cyan. When the changes are approved, use the Next button to find each change and click on Fixed to remove the advisory. The magenta advisories are deleted and the cyan advisories are changed to black.Advisory Board also creates Advisory Notes. These notes are special boxes that Advisory Board can easily find and delete when they are no longer needed.The VTools palette puts several design and editing tools at easy access. Baseline shift and horizontal scale attributes are easily changed. Four buttons are included for rapid case conversion. Convert the selected text to uppercase, lowercase, word caps, or sentence caps with the click of one button. The Fit button resizes the current text or picture box to snugly fit its contents. VTools features a useful styling tool called Copy & Apply. This tool copies the text or paragraph attributes from one selection of text and applies them to another selection.VTools can rotate and skew the contents of a text box.

Simply toggle the process setting to on to separate the color. New Layout uses a database of standard ad or publication sizes to quickly create new projects.Duplicate Eliminator eliminates duplicate spaces and other character sequences that can affect the pagination.
