• Rik's latest number puzzle in Off Topic definitely requires some lateral thinking. With that warning in mind, you can join in here - just don't blame us if you don't like the answer! For a more graphical challenge you can always rely on the Scribble Challenge, there are some very inventive entries this month.

If you need a screen capture then Print Screen often serves the purpose. But sometimes you need something a bit more clever - for example when you want to capture the mouse pointer. All the current Designer titles include a Screen Capture utility that can solve the problem. Discover what it can do for you in the latest movie in our YouTube channel.

Solid Drag vs Outline Drag
Xara offers solid interactive drag and resize. But if you have a really complicated drawing or a slow machine it can sometimes be better to just show outlines rather than solid drag. This is easy to do. While dragging an object just tap the Tab key. Now all drag, resize and rotate actions show outline only. Simply do the same again to switch back to solid drag.
