Richard, I believe you have found a very frustrating Xara Bug: it seems Links after the third row are lost as the Cell is transformed into an image, removing the link!>:|
I have reworked your Link page to something that works.
I have created a Soft-Group Text Area and White Box as a Cell.
I paired two and soft-grouped them.
I finally applied Push of 0px to them so new Rows can never overlap.
If you want to change width or height you need to select a Row and with the Alt key drag a middle control.
If you are "joining" Cells, you delete the adjacent one(s) and Alt-drag to occupy the space.
Rows can be swapped. A bit fiddly but pull out the Row to one side, reposition the others to create the place where it is going to gap into and re-insert and click the bottom Row and Up arrow into a reformed table.
Sorry but Columns are much the harder. It can be done though.

For your Links, I have changed the top half to open in a new Tab (Web Properties > Link > Open link). Have a go with the others or reset to Not specified.

P.S. I will raise a Dear Xara on this!
Re: Linking "onto the web,
As a new user of Xara I was worried that I had done something wrong or not understood the required method.
I can only thank you for your patience and help.
Nice to see it is a bug!
I have just logged on late in the evening and will try everything out tomorrow.
But a big Thanks for now
Re: Linking "onto the web,
I wondered about another way of doing it - until Xara have debugged the table:
Import Table 9 twice
remove the top caption row of the second one
butt the two together. Repeat as necessary.
What do you think?

Yes, I had thought of that too. It would work but, boy, imagine, no one in Xara checked.
You might as well use a blank table and overlay separate links; less to fix later on.
