Xara Designer Pro X9 Released

[StevenWWinters]

Word document import doesn't import Word tables correctly, but as stated here in the release notes:

http://xaragroup.magix.net/designer-pro/notes/

Note there are some Xara features not supported by Word and vice versa, so there will be documents that cannot convert. However most normal Xara documents and Word document should convert with good fidelity.

Note: The Word import / Export is work-in-progress, and we will continue to improve both. If you have a Word document that doesn’t work, please submit a support ticket...

Have you sent the Word doc you tried importing to Xara support, Steven?

Have you sent the Word doc you tried importing to Xara support?

Sure, but since there is the strongly worded caveat I assumed this was a known issue. You can test yourself by creating a new Word doc, insert any simple table, save and import into XDPX9 to see that it will not render properly. My test table had 3 columns and several rows, text only, no formatting and nothing else in the Word doc.
