Got it! Thanks.

I have Xara Web Designer 7 Premium, which I used back in 2011 to make a few sample websites. I climbed the learning curve far enough to do a creditable job of putting them together, but I've mainly...

I'm trying to put together something to help new Xara Web Designer users understand what is available to them in the way of manuals. This information doesn't seem to be readily available except on...

My understanding is that the printed manual includes, among a large amount of other material, material applicable to both of the Web Designer products.

My further understanding is that only by...

I seem to be missing something here. The products under discussion are Xara Web Designer 7 and Xara Web Designer 7 Premium. Each product has its own manual, as detailed in the first post of this...

samrc: Can you tell us specifically where to find info on buying the hard copy manuals? I'm sure it's my fault, but I couldn't find it by following the link provided previously. (I always like to...

Thanks! MOST computer stuff is straightforward, and these days, most software will do all the things that people need it to do. The problem is usually finding how to do it in the software at hand.

Thanks for the lead! This is a VERY useful forum.

ShapeShifter: It sounds like you are onto something, but I'm in the dark about it. I know very little about layers, naming them, etc. The layer that the map is on is named Map. It shows up as...

My page HERE is getting very close to what I want it to be. But I need a bit of magic to finish the job.

When you click a U.S. state abbreviation at the top of the window, the list below it...

gwpriester: I see you are a moderator. Shouldn't the above information about getting and using the manuals be incorporated into the closed sticky thread about resources?

What's important, IMHO,...

I just discovered an 18-page Index in the manual. I printed it out, combined it with the Table of Contents, and had both of them bound for $2.50 at Office Depot. The combination is REALLY useful.

Users can download free manuals for Xara Web Designer. They are large PDF files that display or print thick manuals in letter-size format.

I haven't reviewed them in depth, they appear to be...

mwenz: Thanks again for all your help with this. Your proposed solution seems to be the best so far. One question: I want the links as they appear on the web site to NOT be underlined. They are NOT...

I just experienced the same problem. Will try the solution.

I am lacking some basic knowledge here: How does one save the nav bar to its own file?

Possible clue: One of the labels on my nav...

FLY OUT: When I had the "left nav bar flyout" problems, my nav bar was centered on the page. I moved it to the far left (where it even looks better), and not all flyouts are to the right. Though...

Sounds like a plan. Will that make them JPGs on all my pages, or do I have to do it for each one of thm?

I checked the Javascript option, and it IS on.

My website won't be visited by many iPad or mobile users, so it's not a real big deal if they can't view it too well. I DO check out my sites on the...

I hear what you say about the iPad, and others have said it, too, but I have to say it hasn't been a problem for me. My main use of the iPad is to look at web sites when I'm away from my computer. I...

We're getting into what I want to do here, but there are things I don't know yet.

When the pages are .WEB files in XWD7 Premium, these headers are made up of nine different graphic elements. I...

Go HERE and mouse over the 'About' tab on the nav bar. The 'Benefits of Membership' menu item has a submenu consisting of two items that fly out to the left when you mouse over it.

I am having...

By "header graphic," do you mean the gray bar at the top, and the mottled area below it that holds a lot of text, and the gray bar below that, which also holds some text? Look HERE to see a page with...

It WAS a good exercise. I learned that the themes are beautiful, but far too complex for my needs. I need to deliver content on an attractive, fast-loading site with good navigation. My existing site...

I've put together a web site that gives a full-screen view of one page from each of the Themes in the Designs Gallery.

It's not fancy, and the navigation arrows can be flaky, but it does the job....

There seem to be two kinds of web site. Type #1 is of indeterminate or variable width. As you resize your window, the right margin of the text on the site more or less moves to accommodate the...
