There was an error during saving

Hi Steve, (hits forehead with palm of hand) I never thought of trying expandxar. It has recovered a fair bit of work, just 4 stars and a halftone pattern clipped into the 2 semicircles are missing. But it's a lot better than nothing. Thanks for taking a look.
Bob.

I'm having a similar issue with one of my files. It seems to be happening when I apply a drop shadow to a logo consisting of a group of objects and a text object. Once I removed the drop shadow from that group the file saves fine. I've attached the file so the Xara guys can see if it helps them figure out the issue.

a floor [drop] shadow seems ok here

Oops. I meant regular shadow at 2px, -2px positioning and I was using version 7.1.1.17261.

ok - no problem with any shadow - that said I am using version 8, and I do not have the HoratioDMed font on my system - so first question - does it happen if you change the font?

No problems using XDP7 on my system. You seem to be missing an update to the program Click on the Help menu and select Update Program.
