Apologies to anyone waiting for my Xara results. My PC was in the shop for four weeks, followed by two high school reunions and one family wedding. I did contact Xara, but because my X9 was over ten years old, they no longer 'replaced' it. So, I made the decision to buy another (v.19). True it is quite like the one I had, but many little differences ... some frustrating, some appreciated. Yes, I lost many files, including .xar ones. I've now rebuilt most of the .xar ones I needed. Xara was very helpful in the download of the 'correct' version I purchased. I've learned much via trial & error and "googling" for how to... as often "Help" does not help me fast enough! I'm sure I will love this new version as much as the old one! And, thank you all again for your help here! ~Helen~ I still need to figure out why every time I want a different 'line design' I have to download from ??somewhere.
