let me thank you Julian & your team. Yes, Xerte 3 is a much greater tool
indeed. I've installed & tried out/exploring the beta version now. Like
what you said, I do find Xerte 3 is a whole new changing game tool, I think me,
like other no-tech learning object developer need some time to get fimiliar
with the project creation flow. Hope to see a good user guide & more
tutorial available in future, :).</span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hello
Gevin,<br>
<br>
I'll let Julian describe Xerte 3 as I am just coming to grips with it. However
Xerte 3 is based on the latest flex technology and as such is not backwardly
compatible with Xerte 2. As a result Xerte 2 projects will not run in Xerte 3
and therefor Xerte 2 page wizards will not work in Xerte 3.<br>
<br>
I am not part of the Xerte Team and have no influence on the Xerte 3 project. I
have asked the question myself as to whether Xerte 3 will support the use of
page wizards. It is early days for Xerte 3. As far as I am aware Xerte 3 is at
the stage of just offering icon level page building capability. As yet there is
no equivalent of the Page Templates project wide template.<br>
<br>
It will be interesting to see whether the availability of page wizards in Xerte
2 will influence any decision to implement page wizards for Xerte 3, as I
understand the priority for Xerte 2 was to provide the project wide templates
in preference to individual page templates (i.e. page wizards). I think this
was because the targetted user base was non-technical knowledge experts. Page
wizards open up Xerte to a different type of user. Someone who wants the ease
of pre-defined pages but also to be able to develop their technical skills so
that they can take their learning objects beyond what is available of the
shelf.<br>
<br>
I am now retired, but I will be staying active in the xerte community. When
other commitments allow I am looking at Xerte 3. I am also keen to see page
wizards available in that environment.<br>
<br>
It is worth remembering that there is a community of Xerte users. The Xerte
team supported the development of page wizards and modified Xerte to facilitate
their use, but page wizards were not developed as a core part of the Xerte
project. I am sure that if interest and effort were available from the Xerte
community to make page wizards a reality in Xerte 3 then the support and
assistance would be there from the Xerte team.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
Johnathan<br>
