Changes to EXP for Version 5.1:
General

• EXP now enables you to change the zoom level using the mouse wheel. If you hold down the Control key while rotating the mouse wheel, you can increase or decrease the current document's zoom level. (EXP 5.1 Service Pack 2)
• EXP now supports the mouse wheel in Print Preview. By rotating the mouse wheel, you can move to the next or previous page. (EXP 5.1 Service Pack 2)
• EXP now has an improved help system that features easier navigation and an easier to read font. Documentation that was previously provided in a collection of WXP files has been integrated into the help system.
• The WXP file format used to store EXP documents is now more robust. Upon opening a document, EXP is now able to detect common Internet file transfer problems instantly.
• The file "Keyboard Macros.ekm" is now stored in the per-user Application Data directory. This enables each EXP user of a computer to have their own set of keyboard macros.
• The General Options dialog box now provides the following new options:
  • Always create new document

This option controls whether EXP automatically creates a new document when you start EXP.

• Maximize document windows

This option controls whether EXP maximizes the window of a document that is created/opened when no other documents are open.

• The General Options dialog box no longer provides the option "Set Options When Importing Graphics". This option applied to the ImageStream software, which was removed from EXP. For further information, please read About the Removal of ImageStream.
• The Document Options dialog box now provides an option to view the document at 144 DPI. This resolution corresponds to two pixels per point.
• The maximum number of undo steps has been increased to 16384. The default number of undo steps is now 128.
• The ANSI characters that were formerly called "masculine" and "feminine" are now called "ordmasculine" and "ordfeminine".
