Dear All.

The purpose of the patch is to resolve a number of issues discovered after the release of PagePlus X4 14.0.2, for which we apologise. A list of the changes/fixes in this patch is provided below. Some are phrased in the negative from our database, but are nevertheless fixed in this patch.

We would recommend that ALL users of PagePlus X4 download and install this patch. Serif recommend that patching should be done within the program, by using the "Check for update from web" option in the Help Menu. This will always get any available patch for your version of Serif software (CD or download) and install it too. The downloads page www.serif.com/downloads.asp has the patch also, which is 8.9 MB. The patch for the download PagePlus X4 is the same as for the CD version.

Helpfully the software checks for updates the first time it runs, so for those yet to install a CD, the latest patch will be found on first use.

To work out if you need this English version patch choose "About PagePlus" in the help menu and if the version number is 14.0.2.023 or less then you need this patch.
