Start Learning the Xpressive Software

Here are several basic documents for you to download and use as you learn to digitize with Xpressive.  They were created with Word 2000 and need a full featured Word Processor to view and print.  If you can not view them, download the free Word 2000 viewer from Microsoft.  click on the title to download any of these files.

Glossary of Xpressive Terms:  There is a glossary that is in the help files of the program, but it doesn't cover all the topics that we really need to understand.  Perhaps this expanded version will help.

ShortCut Table:  All the important shortcuts for the Xpressive program in one .jpg art file that can be printed out.  Much easier to set by your side as you digitize than the 4 pages that print out from the help files. (.jpg file can be opened and printed from Art or Paint programs).

Anatomy of a Design:  This is a document that explains a bit more about how a design should work.  It is useful for beginning digitizers and gives lots of good hints for making great designs. This one is more generic and good for any digitizing software.
