Trouble with text appearing different on Xara and on the internet

[monica]

I am having trouble with text appearing different on Xara Web Designer Pro 7 and on the internet. I have attached a screen shot of how it looks in Xara and here is it on the internet: http://graziellamalagoni-art.com/con...lagoni-art.htm

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi Monica

You may have enlarged/reduced the text area using the selector tool rather than the text tool.

Try selecting the text (with the text tool) and set the aspect ratio to 100%. You should then be able to re-size/position the text with predictable results.

I see the line spacing, space between paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, & spell check. Where do I set the aspect ratio?

Sorry, meant to add this with the last post

Thanks, it worked! The Aspect ratio box does not show in my Xara Web Designer Pro 7 so I had to paste it into my Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7, change it there, and paste it back into Web Designer. Is there a way to have it show in Web Designer?

If it's not there as standard then I suspect it's not available. Others may know better as I am not familiar with WD7

The text aspect ratio is not available in Xara Web Designer 7 nor is it in Xara Web Designer 7 Premium. Seems it is only in the Graphic centric applications Xara Photo & Graphics Designer 7 and Xara Designer Pro 7.

Which is daft cos it's a web thing!

I would like to have it on Web Designer, after all my text somehow ended up with an aspect ratio other than 100%. I am glad that I have Photo & Graphic Designer 7 so that I could fix it.

Hi Monica,
That 100% aspect ratio is really important. It is so easy to drag size text and it really throws the text off in a browser if the aspect ratio is not 100%.
