Web Designer Premium 365 Update (November 2016)

We’ve released a new version of Web Designer Premium 365 under our Update Service. Additions include:

- Improved web page transition animations
- New or improved text features such as the ability to delete styles, vertically align text, link to heading and list editing enhancements
- 50 new photo filter pre-sets and 23 new photo grids
- Continued improvements to Word and PDF support

Plus you might already have noticed that we added Google Forms to the widgets in the Content Catalog the other day (and there are also new arrow and chevron SmartShapes). You can find out more about these and other updates on our What’s New page @ http://www.xara.com/web-designer/whats-new/ - new features are marked as NEW - NOVEMBER 2016 - and details have been added to the release notes at http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/wd365

Select ‘Check for Updates’ in the Web Designer Premium Help menu to download the updates.

Remember under our Update Service you can access these new features & content now if you already own the 365 version of Web Designer Premium, at no extra charge, but see http://www.xara.com/update-service/ for more information on the Update Service & the conditions that apply.

The ability to keep the content catalog open is a huge improvement for me! But how do you do it?

Shift + click on Import. I am not sure if this is documented anywhere but it works.

I'm having problems with this latest update.
Each time I open the program it tells me an update is available(53mb), so I click to download it and it all seems fine, but when I open the program again it still says the update is available.
I have tried to update the program several times but it doesn't seem to install the updates.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Phil, in your profile it states you are using Web Designer MX, is this correct? It's fairly old software now so I couldn't say what the last version number was. Is this correct and what version number are you using. You can find this under Help / About Xara.

Sorry, I must update my profile:).
I have the latest version-Premium 365, which doesn't seem to want to install this latest update.

And what version is this Phil?

It is version 12.2.0.45774 DL x64 Jul 1 2016

Phil, that would appear to be out of date. The last update was on 9th November.

That's my problem:) This latest update won't install. Each time I open the program I get the dialogue box to say an update is available, so I click to download it, the download works fine, but the new update is never installed.

I purchased 365 online, downloaded, registered and tried it out for the first time. I have owned and used two previous versions (still loaded on my computer) so am somewhat familiar with the program. My problem is a box that pops up to tell me it can't find a filter to preview my first trial web page.

Did you Run as Administrator? Easily overlooked.

My log in identifies me as Administrator, I am the only user of this machine.

I don't know about log's etc. All I'm suggesting is you right-click over the Xara launch icon and choose Run as Administrator. You only need to do this once. It often solves quite a few issues. I believe it's nothing to do with your status re Administrator.

And if you can understand this your a better man than I Gunga Din :)

Nope, don't understand it either but IT WORKS! I am not a better man than you, can't say about Gunga Din because I hardly knew him.
You are on my Christmas card list, when's your birthday?

:) Just missed my Birthday Don. Glad it's sorted.

I have Web Designer Premium 12.4. Is Designer Pro 365 worth spending the money to upgrade to? I see some cool features but I don't need image creating or editing because I extensively use Corel Draw 17 and Photoshop.

Or should I upgrade to Web Designer 365 Premium? I don't see any upgrades from version 12 or 12.4...

It would be nice to see some new updates from xara. We are left in the dark. At least give up an idea, every quarterly etc..
