Auto-correct / abbreviation expansion.
Where does that live? How do I find it?
Edit: Found it.

Click on the Spell Checker / auto correction icon on the Text Tool InfoBar, to use the auto correction feature. Select Auto correction options... from the dropdown menu.
Re: Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11
Click on the ABC icon that sets the spell checker and you will see an option there for Auto correction options. This will bring up the auto corrections dialogue and you can set additional options there.

Cheers Frances, found it in the help file just after I'd posted. Can't find a symbol for 53o (Degree). Any idea?
Re: Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11
@gwpriester - I was not necessarily referring to the webpage you put together sir... which by the way is pretty sweet.
Maybe I'm just confused... But didn't we used to be able to have the clickable area of an object be the shape of this object?
Even in 10 (Designer Pro) it creates a square area where the object in question is. (Only the shape as clickable area is available with flash export.)
I thought for sure I had used weird shaped buttons before in the past with only the popup/link be triggered when having the pointer actually over this shape and not the smallest box surrounding this shape.
Please correct me if I am wrong

Egg - Not sure if this will help but Alt + 0176 =°
dutchim - The Mouse-Over link is what I think you are referring to. That is now a Web Animation function (see attached).
Re: Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11
Yes it is... But in your example the mouse-over area is a square and not a circle. The corners also trigger the mouse-over effect.
I thought for sure we had the option of the mouse-over area being the actual circle as well besides a square surrounding the circle.
Hope I made myself clear
Re: Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11
Yeah, I see what you mean. I just tried this in Designer Pro X10 and it is the same behavior.
I suspect that given the amount of code generated as it is, it is more efficient to designate a hot spot based on a rectangle (just four coordinates).
Re: Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11
No, clickable links are always rectangles. Only swf's can use the exclusive shape of an object as far as I know. Perhaps svg can do the same?
@ Gary. I think you can only pick from the Font Awesome image set and can't use Alt +

The link applies to the object. The button may be a circle, but the button bitmap (PNG) is a rectangle, as are all bitmaps. Transparent pixels are still part of the bitmap's grid.
But, you can get tricky and place a rectangle inside the circle and apply the link to the rectangle, then softgroup the two.
Re: Just Launched - Xara Web Designer 11
Thanks for clearing that up guys
@steve.ledger - Not a bad workaround even though not perfect.
I always forget about the soft groups.
