Gary,

Your suggestions are helpful and give me a track to run on. I especially appreciate the multiple different suggestions in your most recent post about various approaches to getting my...

Gary, thanks so much for your help!


I agree! I appreciate the feedback.



I'm hoping it's easy to make adjustments to all the pages' identifying information later in the game! I've...

Gary,

I'm SURE that prior to "sharing to variants" I resized the buttons using the handles of the buttons. AFTER resizing the original buttons, I most likely also highlighted the newly-changed...

Hi Chris!

I just checked, and "scale to fit" is not set in the location that you mentioned. "Don't scale" is what is set.

However, this brings to mind something I read somewhere about setting...

I'm 99% certain the original buttons [on "main"] are soft-groups. Clicking on them activates both the parts in MouseOff and MouseOver at the same times, and they move as a unit.

The replications...

OOOhhhh. I think I get it. I've been trying to understand the difference between "repeating objects" and "sharing across variants" and I may have it now. (If anything I state below is incorrect,...

Thanks everyone for helping me through this...

So, as far as I can tell, I'm doing all the things the right way. Still no success. Also, restarted the application running as admin. No success. ...

Because it is a button, it is soft grouped and spread across mouse off and mouse over. I have mouse over invisible, and am clicking on mouse off. Is there another way I should be doing this?

Before I spend forever trying to figure this out...

I'm trying to repeat a button across multiple pages. I click the object, right click, repeating object, repeat on all pages. The little star...

Thank you! There's no way I could have reported that as succinctly or accurately.

Thank you for your feedback. Based on what you said, it appeared to me that Xara itself had gone wonky. I restarted the program, and magically the align button in my taskbar (which was previously...

Hi!

I'm trying to align items on my webpage, but for some reason the alignment button on the Xara toolbar, which I've always used in Xara in the past (for non-webpage purposes) is greyed out.
...

@Egg Bramhill Oh, gosh. So sorry! I know I was going crazy. Would have never guessed "fade in" to "solve" the problem!

I can report that I was able to make the buttons work properly by adding...

Will do! Thanks so much for all your help!

OHHHHH....

Acorn, you're a wonder. I was sure it was operator error.

At the same time...Well, sheee----oooooot.

One of my questions in future was going to be, "How do I get rid of the fade...

Okay, if I've done this correctly, here is a link to the page I am working on, as a .xar file.

(If I understand dropbox correctly,...

Acorn---
I'm struggling to understand how the noun "button" interacts with the double prepositions "over of", or, perhaps I'm misreading and it is a nominal phrase "button over"? (In which case I'm...

Deleting all variants and leaving just one page gives me a 38mb file. When I get back from town I'll try and figure out how to use dropbox. :)

Is there a file size limit? I can't seem to get the 72mb file to upload. Could be a problem on my end. I have satellite internet. :I

I've been using Xara for 18 years, but this is my first time doing xara webdesign. (In the past I've used wordpress on a shared hosting site.) My last hosting provider went kaput, leaving me...

It appears I'm doing the same thing you are, settings wise.




Let's see if I get this---
Based on the two comments above, it's possible that my problem is an antiquated version of Xara that...

[Thank you so much for your continued help!]



The 5 megabyte file size sounds far better than the 17.5 I've been getting [the 17.5 was the file size for a PDF export of both pages of the...

You are correct about the bleed; I have edited my original post to correct that confusion. The printer establishment does allow inside bleeds, so that shouldn't be a problem.



I should have...

I have a (roughly) 8 1/2" x 11" double page spread (ie., two 8.5 x 11" pages side by side, plus bleed margins) that I'm trying to export as PDF. (I've attempted to attach the document to this post.)...

Thank you so much! I appreciate your quick answer! I had figured as much, but I needed to make sure. Thanks for resolving my concern!
