    Question Save As is Not Working - Help!

    I have a problem, Save As is not working <sigh> I usually do my work in Xara, Save, then Save As to whatever format I need.

    Just recently (last night), I did a Circle (from a template I have), put some text in it. Saved to .Xar format like always.

    Then I tried to do a Save As -there was no Choices in the Files drop down
    -well, actually just two choices:

    Xara Design Pro X (*.xar)
    All Files (*.*)

    I have some screen shots if that would help (I have forgot how much fun it is to add a pix here)...

    I guess I could just 'Export' as the format I need...

    Thanks for any enlightenment. Tom

    The two choices you list are what I have, and only what I always have had using Save As.

    What format are you trying to Save As?

    Save As only ever has the above. This is to enable saving the opened doc as a different file name rather than file type.
    To save as a different file type, you must 'Export' (or press Ctrl+Shift+E)

    Always been this way Tom (and I have versions right back to X1)

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Yes, Export is what you're thinking about. Some applications allow Save As to other formats, but AFAICR, Xara never has.

    Thumbs up Re: Save As is Not Working - Help!

    Thanks Guys & Gal, I guess too much stuff happening (I moved to a new place [closer to el centro] Can't find nothing)
    And, I was working on this project, with about a 15 min Deadline, been a bit, I plain forgot about having to 'Exporting' !

    And, I Panicked! Now I have much Red Face!

    Appreciate you 'all' not hollering at me loud or giving me the 3rd for my memory lapse! Thank You! You all are Super!

    Not to worry, Tom. We've all done it. Hope the move works out well for you.
