Unwanted Red Lines when Copying & Pasting From Xtreme to Web Designer

Harry the 'Check as you type' feature can be distracting I agree.
For this reason I have mine switched off in Web Designer.

I disagree (which merely goes to prove how different we all are!). I love all applications that check as I type. Not only do I not find it distracting, I find it actually improves my spelling. I use Firefox almost exclusively and it checks as I type, for instance in this forum. Occasionally I have to switch browsers and it always catches me off guard that in Internet Explorer I do not have any spellchecker installed. But I use it so infrequently that it's not an issue.

But I truly wish Xtreme had a built-in spell checker. No doubt V.5 will have the XWD one which will be very welcome indeed.

Steve, based on your tip I've gone and unchecked the 'Check spelling as you type' function in XWD.

Kinetica, spell checking is handy, I have to agree. It's saved me a time or two and keeps me from dyslexifying (take that you spell checkers!) a bunch of words when typing. Adding what I thought were red artifacts from underlying layers or corruption caused by a fouled up copy and past operation was a bit of a shock, though. My lack of sleep and those red lines contributed to another 15 or 20 minutes of lost slumber. After a year or two of using XX without a spell check and its associated red lines, seeing them in XWD definitely threw me for a loop. I thought Xara's shiny new application was messing with my graphics. It's all sorted out now in my head.

Must not stay up so late in the future...

Yeah, right,
Harry
