Montage 2.0 finally hits beta!

Hi All-
After what seemed like decades in alpha (ok, I'm exaggerating a hair), Montage 2.0 finally reached
the beta stage. Here's a list of what we have added to this upcoming major release.

• Added Script Locking & Revisions Tracking
• Added 'WYSIWYG" on screen Pagination: MORE/CONT'D now display on screen
rather than only in print, on screen page count reflects what will print
• Added an Annotations Navigator
• Added a Timeline View for story development
• Added a Names Database
• Added more export formats: Word 2007, HTML, XML, Plain Text, Web Archive
• Added greater functionality to Headers with ruler control and additional variables
• Added a tabbed view for the Notes area in Outline, Character, Location, etc views
• Added picture fields to Notes areas
• Added contextual menu functionality to the keywords box in the views pane
• Added the ability to import Contour files, added a template for importing Contour content
• Elements can now be assigned by right clicking and selecting from a contextual menu
• Added Insert > Page Break
• Page numbers and other header information now displays on screen
• Keyboard shortcuts are now available in popup menu at the bottom of the editor window


It's hard to put a date on when we will release 2.0 but hopefully by the end of the year. For all
those that purchase 1.5.3 now, the upgrade path to 2.0 is a freebie. All 1.x owners will be looking
at a reasonable upgrade charge.

Best,
Mike
