Since no-one here seems capable of using the Erase Background function, nor is anyone apparently aware of Xara's long standing problems with exporting alpha-transparency, I doubt this thread is going to go anywhere.

I would have thought that drawing round an orange and saving as PDF would be quicker than typing a paragraph, but apparently not. I'm not doing that, cos I don't want to converse with people who require that level of spoon-feeding, just so they can say "oh yeah". I suggest you all sit back and pretend Xara is perfect some more. Any problems are made-up, niche, and if you find one then it's not what Xara was intended for.
