Applying name and alt attributes to text-as-image?
A forum search reveals you can do this in XX4; forgive me for asking this rather than just doing it, I'm at work and don't have access to anything Xara and I'm really curious about this. Can you do it in XWD, too? I'm guessing yes.
As I understand it from XX4, let's say you have a line of text and for some reason (tilted, special shadows applied, whatever) it's going to be exported as a graphic. I think also in XWD you can group the text (if it isn't already), then apply two Names to the group, one called "alt=alt text here" and one called "title=title text here" (without the quotes) and when XWD exports the group as an image that image will have appropriate alt and title attributes applied.
Did I get it right?
Thanks in advance!

No. You don't need to use those special names as were used in XXP4. In XPE you can set both title and alt properties in the Web Properties dialog.
Alt is set in the "Image" tab, "Image Description (Alt Text)" field.
Title is set in the "Mouse-over" tab, "Show popoup text (Title)" field.

Aaaaaand there it is in the help file, now that I know what to look for (yes, I am the sort of geek who brings a .chm file to work to look over when I get time). ;)
