I wonder whether anyone else is having difficulty adding hyperlinks to text in tables in the latest edition. I had to revert to version 15 to add a new link on this page. Version 16 either left a previous link un-updated or left the text unlinked.
The table was originally created in version 15 without encountering this difficulty.
I took the liberty of moving your Bug to the Dear Xara forum.
It is more likely to be noticed here.
Xara has suggested that a bug-fix release could be forthcoming.
Let's hope it will be fixed in that.

Thank you Acorn.
You can get links in tables. First write some text off the canvas. Add the link to the text. Copy the text and paste into the cell. It does sort of tell you this in the help.
Thank you Grace but this is not a solution. Once added, you cannot change anything. If I want to make a Layer pop-up instead, I have to keep a master phrase for each and every cell I need hyperlinks to, outside of the table!Quote:

Reed looks like a lovely village :)
Many thanks for your report. I have logged this with our developers and hopefully it should be fixed very soon. We are planning a bug fix patch soon to fix a lot of table issues and more.
Kind Regards
Rob
Hi there. Just to mention that this problem still persists. Is there any news on a fix, please?
I'll chase the developers on this issue, It is assigned to the a developer but can't say whether it is fixed or not yet.
Thanks
Rob

If it has been fixed it would be done so in internal developer builds, which are tested first before the changes are compiled into a patch that is released. I don't know whether it will make it into the next patch but I've chased the developers on the issue.
Thanks
Rob
Thanks again. Just downloaded and installed the latest update and disappointed to discover this problem persists. It's tedious rather than anything else, but the workaround does involve maintaining an installed copy of Web Designer Premium 15.
Do keep nagging. Although the table fixes in v16.1 are mostly to be good, they still have issues around usability and ultimately HTML screen-reading.Quote:

Patch should be released now. If you go to Help > Check for updates, update to 16.1.1 and try adding a link to a table now it should work.
Thanks
Rob
Rob thank you. I have checked with web and email links - all fine.Quote:

To check I created a new table, added a line of text including a link and previewed it - it does not work; it just appears like a line or ordinary text. :(
I am going to have to redesign the page without a table which is extremely boring.
I've logged this as a critical bug to be fixed in the upcoming patch. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Any estimate on when the patch will be released? I've been waiting for over 3 weeks now. Alternatively, how can I downgrade my version to 16.1? Thanks.
Xara's version update batting average is 150 days. Xara rarely outputs bug fix versions. Xara is talking about a v17.0 release. Xara has stopped publishing prior versions since v12.4.1.Quote:

Hopefully in 1-2 weeks tops. Sorry just waiting on a couple of other major things to be fixed then will release patch.Quote:

Just out today!Quote:
