I just got freeway 5 and for some reason the inspector in the “using freeway 5” manual looks different than what i have on the screen.
in the manual you can see icons depicting the different effects and on screen they do not show.

The icons are contextual; draw a graphic box on your page and they’ll
appear.

i do draw out a graphic rectangle and nothing.
Does the fact that i have version 4pro and version 5pro on the same computer have anything to do with it.
under the brush icon i get a “Background” tab and not like in the manual.
in the manual the color dropdown menu is directly under the brush button.
in my case it is the background tab.
same with an HTML item i get the background tab under the button.
i get wysiwyg icons under the effect tab and not directly under the button like in the manual.
furthermore i get less options than in the manual.
the ones i get are - outer shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow and forground.
is it possible that the manual was made with a different version 5? i have the most updated one.
is there a way to change the display method of the inspector?
is there some way to upload a screen capture to this thread?
unfortunately i did all that including deleting the freeway folders from the application support and the freeway preferences file and still the same inspector.

Have you restarted your Mac?
I ask because it’s such a rare thing to do these days, and it may
just clear whatever glitch you have.

Nope. I suspect that it was made with a very slightly older version
of Freeway 5, or those may be grabs from Freeway Express. When I look
at the images in the PDF I do see some cosmetic differences. If
that’s really all it is, cosmetic, then don’t worry about it at all!
I see this from time to time with major software updates, especially
where there are two ‘levels’ for the software. I imagine (and hope)
that Softpress will work on updating the guide at some point, but it
doesn’t surprise me that this didn’t get tweaked during the final
push where we were all playing with the public betas and final fixes
were being made to the software itself.

Nope, put it somewhere on your own site and tell us where it is.
Hundreds of us read this using email rather than by visiting the web
site, and it would be a bit much if people could push file
attachments through to all of us without warning!
The screengrabs in the manual are from Freeway Express. In Express,
graphic effects options are presented as a group of preset
combinations, each of which has an icon to click on in the Inspector.
In Pro you can add and remove each of the graphic effects
individually, hence the different interface - this allows complete
flexibility to combine all the effects however you wish.
