The following is a list of the new features in version 2 of FlexiTree. There are also several minor improvements to the appearance and flexibility of the program.

Saving web pages	You can save any tree as a series of web pages using one simple command. The pages could be linked into your school's internet site, or they could be used on any home computer which has a web browser - it doesn't need to have FlexiTree.
Sound files	You can now link any object, question or the title page to a sound file. The format of the file must be a wave sound (with a wav extension). This could be used to link objects to the sounds they make, or you could use a microphone to add spoken comments.
Pictures	It is now possible to show a picture with each question and also on the title page, as well as for each object. FlexiTree 2 supports some extra picture file formats - vector and clipart files (emf and wmf extensions), graphics files (png and gif extensions) as well as other new types (dib, dwg and dxf extensions).
Colours	You can now choose the foreground and background colour of any object and any question. This would be shown when you are using the tree to identify an object and on the diagram of the whole tree.
Whole tree layout	The layout of the whole tree has been improved so that the text is much more legible on both the screen and the printout, even with a large tree.
Printing questions	There is now a printout of the tree in the form of a series of questions. Each yes and no answer points to another question (by number) or an object. You can use this set of questions to identify any object in the tree. There is also an option to print the list of objects on a separate page.
Printing cards	Another new printout shows all the objects as cards - you can choose how many across and down each page. The card shows the picture of the object, with the option to include the object name and comment. The cards can be used to help design the tree away from the computer, or as a starting point for pupils to identify objects.
Long filenames	FlexiTree now supports the use of long filenames and you can also see long folder names in full. The program uses the Windows Explorer style of dialog to load and save files.
Answers so far	When you are using the tree to identify an object, FlexiTree 2 is able to show you a list of all the questions that you have been asked so far, and the answer that you gave to each question. This feature can be switched on or off at any time using a button on the toolbar. If you decide that one of your earlier answers was wrong, you can quickly return to that question by clicking on it in the list of answers so far.
Tree direction	There is now an option to have the tree going up or down the page. The direction of the tree can be toggled at any time using a button on the toolbar. The direction will affect the appearance of the whole tree on screen, when the tree is being used to identify an object, the printout of the whole tree and if the tree is saved as a series of web pages.
