Here is a feature that many users may not know about in RAGE WebDesign. You can quickly add a table with any number of rows and columns without doing any typing or using any of the wizards.

First, go to the Preferences and select the ‘Toolbar’ tab. Scroll the list until you see Table Creator. Make sure it is selected and close the Preferences window.

Then, go to the window menu and and select ‘Toolbar…’ to show the WebDesign Toolbar. You will see the Table Creator button as shown below. Click it to reveal a popup window that makes it extremely easy to insert a table with the selected number of rows and columns.

So we’ve been working really hard all summer on some great new updates AND some awesome new products. First and foremost, we have an update on the way for RAGE WebDesign, which I mentioned earlier and RAGE Google Sitemap Automator.

To give you some clues on what’s new, we are going to have to redo all the screen shots on for both products!

Aside from that, we have been working on two amazing new apps. These applications are one of a kind on the Mac. There are no other tools that can do what they do!

So keep checking back and make sure you get our newsletter so you’ll know what’s coming up. If you run a web site, you’ll love these products!

We have just posted two new beta updates for RAGE MapDesign and RAGE WebDesign.

Firstly, RAGE WebDesign, which a lot of users have been waiting for, now includes the new text engine we have been promising for a while now. It did take us some time to work out all the issues and get it ready for Intel Macs. But it is here now and works beautifully on both Intel and PPC Macs. It also provides better support for double byte languages such as Japanese and Chinese, among many other improvements.

We have also released a beta version of MapDesign which adds support for transparent PNGs. Now you can create beautiful, interactive image maps with transparent images.

You can sign up to beta test by creating a beta testers account at http://www.trybeta.com/home/

You will see both applications listed there.

Thanks for the patients and we are eager to here what you think of the new updates.

We know a lot of your have been looking forward to a Universal Binary version of RAGE WebDesign. We have been working really hard on this and I just wanted to post an update on its status.

We have a version of RAGE WebDesign running on Intel Macs. It’s running very nicely, much faster than before, as a Universal Binary.

We have upgraded to a totally new text engine so working with double-byte characters such as Japanese or Chinese will also work much better than before. In addition, working with any unicode files will also see improvements.

We have also made a few additions, interface tweaks, and added new features. This version of RAGE WebDesign will be FREE for registered 2.x users and we will be posting a beta version for you to try real soon.

After this release, we will start working on version 3.0. We have some really great features planned, some that you will not have seen in any other web page editor. If you think you love RAGE WebDesign now, wait until you see what we have in store for you.

Plus, we are working on some great new applications to help with designing, promoting and managing web sites. Stay tuned, we have so many exciting announcements coming soon!
