It's because you've got to the US page and you've got VAT added to that.

Sorry Antspants, that'll be my fault. Xara must have thought I was in the US when I copied the link from my browser.
Thanks PeteS for correcting.

Cool, so far. In testing it out, is there a way to remove just a "Section" of the white background say in a cartoon character without removing the whites in the eyes as well? If not, the upgrade would seem ... not what I'd be looking for. Thanks!

Yes, you can apply a mask which allows you to choose which parts of the image are affected. Download the demo and check out the help section for that tool.

rpc - You can also create some simple white shapes and send them behind the eyes.

Well, yeah I know. I was just wondering if we had a "contiguous" "non-contiguous" kind of switch

Well the mask as Rich suggested is another way to do this. Or you could use a white that was not completely white for the eyes, but that would probably be spotty at best.

Have signed up to the new Pro X and everything is working brilliantly. The paragraph and character styles, the embedded graphics and the graphic bullets work a treat. Once there is automatic pages numbering and automatic contents generation I'll have everything I need for creating long documents and will be able to ditch Indesign. Incidentally, when I carefully logged into the Xara UK site and clicked the button to buy (£79) I was automatically sent to the US site. This might account for some of the pricing confusion raised in this thread. Anyway must return to play with the new software.
