Bitmap Graphics not visible

[playnmusic1]

I am new at this and I hope someone can help me! I have duplicated a functional page from my website and deleted all the contents of a previous page that was fully visible in preview mode.

I created a white text box & added the curved bevel to it. When I try to preview it in preview mode it shows up as a plain white sheet with no bevel.

I have tried to duplicate it. I have gone to Arrange > Create Bitmap Copy but I don't see a 96dpi selection there. I can view my document in the small preview window under create bitmap options if I click on Color Depth and select True Color. I deleted the original copy & previewed the new copy but I still get a plain white page view. Does anyone know how to make it show up in the preview window as it looks on my screen?

which program are you using please

in your other thread you referred to designer pro 7, but in your profile it says web designer 7

there are differences [eg: the 96dpi option]

Boy was that a confusing question.

Is your white text over a white background by any chance?

I am using Xara Designer Pro 7. I did just upgrade to Pro 7 from designer 7 a couple of days ago.

I wanted to post a picture of what I see, but I can't seem to get it to attach to the forum as an .xml or .pdf document.

I have no text on the page at this point. Just trying to create a base to put the rest of the content on.

All I want to do is create a simple light colored box with a rounded bevel as a beginning background for the rest of the content to be placed on. I feel like I'm learning my abc's!! There must be something simple I am missing.

Thanks for your responses!

I finally figured it out! I went to setup options and changed the dpi to 96 then went to arrange>create bitmap copy. Thanks for your info!
