every time I open up the site things are not where they was put ...... they are all moving to the left and down.
Well everything has moved off your attached file Mike. :)
I opened the blank document, then closed it and reopened it and it opens centered on the page for me.
Can you send a screen capture of the page while you are working on it and then a screen shot of the page when you reopen the document?
I have tried changing the fixed option and it makes no diff.

That is odd. It is a pretty minor shift but still there should be no shift at all.
Anybody have an idea why this is happening?
Something is not right ..... I have soft grouped on most of content and made it align centrally.... and save.... then open and its all gone down and to the left.
This is costing me loads of time now and getting frustrated.
I have another site that I saved out as a back up ..... it does the same thing .
I have tried to upload the file but its just over the 10meg.
now every time I open it its shifted a bit more ...... so if I save and open, it goes to left just a little bit each time I save.
Help
Mike
Save the file under a new name, delete all pages except for 1 problem page and then save and upload the smaller file. Too hard to know what's going on without seeing an example xar file.
This is the home page ... I saved it and open it and it all moved to the left and down
I just opened the file that I attached and its been saved with the site gone to the left.
thanks for looking at it
Mike
It seems to be the big white rectangle placeholder that is causing the shift when saved/load. If you remove that and save and load then everything seems to stay in place. In general I would recommend tidying up the layers and grouping and even check the page settings which aren't the defaults used for web templates. But if you remove that placeholder it might get you back on track.
Thanks for looking at it Atom..... I know its a bit of mess layer wise but I have been trying diff things and it has resulted in a mess up.
I will check what you mean and report back.
Thanks for looking at my problem Xtom.... it was the placeholder but funny thing is it was a sliding built in widget..... why would that send it all over the place.
Anyway I have sorted out all the layers and its working fine.
What did you say about checking the page settings ...not sure what you mean .
Thanks again
Mike
Opened it up this morning and still some things are going down and to the left..... but every time I save and open it they move a bit more...... so if I open and save say 5 times some of the content is off the page.
This is not happened before and I have used Xara for a number of years.
I cannot see why a website would need to move things every time you close and open so I think this is a bug.
I move things back and preview it and all is ok ..... save it and preview it and all is ok..... CLOSE it and open and some items have moved.
Im sick of this now as I have spent all last night sorting it out and now i'm back to square 1.
I have attached the file and if you look at the classes page and click on a class the box was saved on top of each other ....but now they have all moved left and down a bit ,
also on the home page the twitter and facebook icons keep moving down and left every time I save and open.
Mike
Mike, this is highly bizarre behaviour by any piece of software and I hope you keep copies of the files where the problem occurs and that Xara asks to see them.
I just cannot see why its happening .... its costing me loads of time ....I have to keep moving things back every time I save .
Just hopless.
It was ok until I did the last update.
I am going back and doing the whole site again in the last version which I still have on my comp.
Really jarred off with this program now to be honest.
it cannot be any settings because I cannot see why you would need a feature that moves things after you save .
Come on Xara help sort it .
Mike
Mike, it's only been mentioned here on Friday evening and it's unreasonable to expect Xara to pounce on the post and fix this as soon as you mention it. I don't think anyone else has reported similar behaviour.
These things happen with software - probably because fallable human beings write the programs; you know the kind - like you and I.
Be patient. Walk away from the website and enjoy the sunshine.
Your right ....I'm off to walk along the beach and the sun is out and life is good and i'm still above ground .
Mike
Got to be a bug as it opens in ProX and stays as I saved it.
Mike
Well guess there is no answers ....... I will just have to go back to ProX....
And as I used the new feature of the backgrounds I will have to start over.
NOT happy.
Mike
Guess theres no help from Xara and no one knows why its doing this ...... I have reinstalled and items still move after saving.
Re-done some of the layers and they still move everytime I save.....and in the end they are off the page.
What else can I do ....
Mike
Well if anyone wants to know....I have sorted the problem.....
I did a re-install with the disc and NOT done the update and its all fine .....
As soon as I do the update it starts to move things on save.
Mike
I'm glad you have a solution.
The lack of Xara interest is somewhat disappointing.
Yes your right..... more worrying is the fact that the update is the problem.... so what am I missing in the update that I cannot use.
Mike
Mike, you can live without the update until the issue is addressed.
Thanks ..... I will leave well enough alone....... weird tho.
Mike
Why are Xara not interested in problems..... I cannot update as it messes up my site .
Mike
Hi Mike, im afraid Xara Support is available Monday to Friday.
Your files interesting and we will complete some tests to see if this is a problem introduced by the patch release.
I made the following modifications to your file which has prevented the problem from occurring.
1. Utilities > Option > Grid & Ruler tab.
- The coordinate direction from Y increases upwards to Y increases downwards.
- The Origin (0,0 point) from -133,-133 to 0, 1272 (1272px is the height of your pages.)
2. Utilities > Option > Page Size tab.
- The outer margin from 755.91px to 768px
- removed the ticks from the Document section for All pages in the document the same size and same layers on all pages in document.
I then saved the file and re-opened it and the shift no longer occurs.
Hope this helps. We will investigate this further tomorrow but from what i can tell the problems related to the outer margin and origin point values set in your original doc.

Apologies, I forgot to attach the fixed file
A bugs been logged for the development team.
The problems occurring when the outer margin value is altered from the Page size tab found in the Options.
Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention.
Thanks for looking at the problem ..... is the problem in the update.
Mike
Is it safe to update yet ...... not heard a thing from dev team

Well, the update version won't have changed if there's been no announcement that it has.
I think it's unlikely they would make an update for a single bug reported by just one person. Much more likely that the next update fixes multiple bugs - as many as possible.
bb2 did say what had been tried to avert the problem, so I guess that provided you repeat those steps, the update will then be fine.
I understand what you mean But the file BB2 sent back to me was worse than the one I posted ...... its not worked at all.
Mike
I think that might have been useful feedback two weeks ago!
I guess you'll need to forgo the upgrade for a while yet.
Sorry Paul I just gave up on it ...... its working as it is and they are not to bothered about one bug as you say .... and will wait till the new update .
Oh I did see someone else has the same problem.... so there is 2 of us now ...... might carry more weight..... Lol :D
Mike
The good thing is that besides not being able to update the software, you can do everything you need to do without the update. In that sense, it doesn't really matter!
Hopefully the next revision will have you back on track again.
I have updated again and they have done nothing to address my problem.
complete waste of my time
Mike
Mike, this update is really an emergency fix for the FTP issue. They didn't ever promise there was a fix for this issue in this update.
You're in the UK, why not ring them up and see how the land lies?
Xara guys - is it really asking too much to properly engage with Mike and discuss the issue, even if you have no immediate plans to fix it?
Thanks Paul.... just so frustrating..... I did check what the update was for but just said "includes several other minor bug-fixes and improvements"
so I just assumed it would fix this minor bug.... but to me its a major problem when I try to update.
Mike
It's frustrating, but in the grand scheme of things, it's nothing.
Stick with the original release and Internet explorer 10 and you can be happy.
If Xara aren't going to fix this I wish they'd just say so, so you know where the land lies.
